Appendix B

General SpecificationsTEMPORARY UTILITY CONNECTIONS:

1. EXCAVATIONS

a. Excavation: Unless otherwise indicated, trench excavation shall be by open cut except that short sections may be jacked or bored if the utility can be safely and properly installed and ground loss can be properly controlled. All excavation shall be constructed in accordance with the Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1) and/or OSHA Standards. Allowable trench widths, depths, side slopes, sheet and bracing requirements, and other considerations are given in the OSHA Standard; and an abbreviated version is given in the Safety and Health Requirements Manual.

b. Trench Excavation: Excavation shall be performed to the lines and grades indicated. During excavation, material satisfactory for backfilling shall be stockpiled in a neat and orderly manner at a sufficient distance from the banks of the trench to avoid overloading and to prevent slides or caving. Topsoil shall be stockpiled separately from suitable backfill material. Grading shall be done as may be necessary to prevent surface water from flowing into the excavation, and any water accumulating therein shall be removed to maintain the stability of the bottom and sides of the excavation.

c. Bottom Preparation: The bottoms of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for the bottom quadrant of each section of the pipe. Pipe shall rest on undisturbed or properly placed and compacted soil along its entire length.

d. Backfilling and Compaction: For trenches in road subgrades, common backfill above the bedding shall be placed in 12" lifts and compacted with special purpose compaction equipment. Compaction equipment shall be selected to avoid damage to the pipe.

e. Pipe bedding: Classes I, II, or III, as described in ASTM D2321 shall be used and carefully compacted for all plastic pipe.

f. Burial Depth: Burial Depth of specific utilities is given below:

B. Cables and Conduits. Direct burial cable and conduit or duct line shall have a minimum cover of 24 inches from the finished grade.

2. WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

a. PIPING

1. Service Lines

Piping for water service lines shall have a nominal size of ¾" diameter. Pipe shall be polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, Oriented PVC plastic polyethylene, or copper tubing.

2. Supply and Distribution Lines

Piping for water distribution lines shall be 6", and supply lines shall be 6" or 8", as shown on the drawings. Pipe shall be polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Oriented PVC plastic filament-wound or centrifugally cast reinforced thermosetting resin.

3. Potable Water Lines

Piping and components of potable water systems which come in contact with the potable water shall conform to NSF 61. Plastic piping system components (PVC, polyethylene, thermosetting resin and reinforced plastic mortar pressure) intended for transportation of potable water shall comply with NSF 14 and be legibly marked with their symbol.

b. PIPE MATERIALS

1. Cathodic Protection

Cathodic protection shall be provided for all materials subject to corrosion. Cathodic protection shall comply with the provisions of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) criteria and standards. All ferrous underground material shall receive a protective coating with a coating efficiency of 90 percent after 15 years.

2. PVC Plastic Pipe

D 1784, Class 12454B. Pipe shall conform to dimensional requirements of ASTM D

1785 Schedule 40, with joints meeting the requirements of 150 psi working pressure, 200 psi hydrostatic test pressure, or equivalent.

For pipe 4 inches through 12 inches diameter, pipe shall conform to AWWA C900, Class 150, CIOD pipe dimensions, elastomeric-gasket joint. Fittings shall conform to AWWA C907 and AWWA C908.

3. Copper Tubing

Copper tubing shall conform to ASTM B 88, Type K, annealed.

c. VALVES

1. Gate Valves

Gate valves shall be designed for a working pressure of not less than 150 psi. Valve connections shall be as required for the piping in which they are installed.

The operating nut or wheel shall have an arrow, cast in the metal, indicating the direction of opening. Valves shall be iron body, bronze mounted, and shall conform to AWWA C500. Flanges shall not be buried. An approved pit shall be provided for all flanged connections. All gate valves shall be non-rising stem type furnished with O-ring seals.

2. Service Stops

All service lines shall include a 3/4 inch curb stop (shutoff) valve.

Service stops shall be water-works inverted-ground-key type, oval or round flow way, tee handle, without drain. Pipe connections shall be suitable for the type of service pipe used. All parts shall be of bronze with female iron-pipe-size connections or compression-pattern flared tube couplings, and shall be designed for a hydrostatic test pressure not less than 200 psi, and shall conform to AWWA C800.

d. VALVE BOXES

Valve boxes shall be cast iron, concrete, or plastic. Boxes shall be extension type with slide-type adjustment and with flared base. The word "water" shall be cast in the cover. The boxes shall be of such length as will be adopted without full extension to the depth of cover required over the pipe at the valve location. Valve boxes shall be suitable for traffic. If cast iron boxes are used, they shall be bonded with the ferrous valve and be cathodically protected. The valve box shall have a protective coating applied using a coal tar epoxy.

e. FIRE HYDRANTS Fire hydrants shall conform to AWWA C-502.

f. LEAKAGE TEST

The water line shall be tested by the Contractor after the pipe is laid, the joints completed and the trench partially backfilled. The joints are to be left exposed for examination during the test. The water lines shall be subjected for one hour to a hydrostatic pressure of 200 psi. Each valve shall be opened and closed twice during the test. Exposed pipe, joints, fittings and valves shall be carefully examined during the test.

Any leaks shall be repaired and the test repeated until satisfactory results are achieved. At the discretion of the COR, an additional leakage test will be conducted. The duration of the test will be 2 hours at a pressure of not less than 200 psi.

L = 0.0001351ND(P raised to 0.5 power)

L = Allowable leakage in gallons per hourN = Number of joints in the length of pipeline testedD = Nominal diameter of the pipe in inchesP = Average test pressure during the leakage test, in psi gauge

Should any test of pipe disclose leakage greater than that calculated by the above formula, the defective joints shall be located and repaired until the leakage is within the specified allowance, without additional cost to the Government.
