3.1 PROOF ROLLING

All road, MHU or RV pads, parking pads, areas below structures (i.e. treatment plants, bus stop shelters, etc.) will be proof rolled with a loaded dump truck in the presence of the Government’s on site QA representative.

Proof rolling shall consist of 1 pass in each traffic lane, or 1 pass for each 12’ width of road way (10’ road = 1 pass, 14’ road = 2 passes, 25’ road = 3 passes, etc.). One continuous pass, parallel to the road and perpendicular to lots, will suffice for MHU or RV pads and parking pads where road subgrade did not require repair or replacement.

Where failing deflection is observed within the footprint of an MHU/RV pad and associated parking pads during single pass perpendicular proof rolling, additional passes covering the entire footprint may be required at discretion of the Government’s on site QA representative.

Observed deflections, both recoverable (pumping) or non-recoverable, exceeding the following shall constitute a subgrade failure which necessitates repairs.

Road Subgrade: 2”

Parking Pads: 2”

MHU/RV Pad: 3”

Below miscellaneous structures: 2”

3.2 COMPACTION

Unless otherwise specified on the drawings or noted herein, compact soils as required to meet minimum proof roll testing. In areas where proof rolling is not required, compact soils to provide a surface suitable for the intended use.

At a minimum, track in all fills in lifts not to exceed 12” thick. Additional compactive effort, such as drum rolling or vibratory plate type equipment may be required in order to stabilize fill areas in order to exceed minimum compaction/deflection testing limits.

Where compaction efforts are required, prepare and compact a test area in the presence of the on-site QA. Vary speed and vibratory frequency to achieve effective compaction in a single pass. Where wet soil conditions are present, begin test with no vibratory efforts. Maintain speed and vibratory settings while soil conditions remain constant. Where a change in soil conditions are observed, repeat test procedure and continue with new speed and vibratory settings.

Exercise caution to avoid over-working / vibrating soils, particularly in wet conditions.

Refer to LDOTD requirements for compaction testing methods, densities, and frequency for all encroachments into public R/W, such as driveway or utility connections.

3.3 ROAD SUBGRADE

Refer to plan notes for subgrade preparation. Where additional repairs or stabilization to subgrade is required, refer to methods in LDOTD standard specification section 305- Subgrade layer.

The contractor shall be responsible for protection of subgrade, embankments, and stockpiles. Maintain positive drainage throughout construction. Utilize temporary ditches, covers, dewatering pumping equipment, including well pointing where apported, as required to protect subgrade. Any saturated or otherwise damaged prepared subgrade or previously suitable materials will be removed and replaced with no additional cost to the government.

All work shall implement best management practices for erosion control and in accordance with applicable permits, state, and local requirements.

3.6 EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL

The Contractor shall be responsible for sediment and erosion control, including payment of any fines leveed by state or local authorities. The contractor shall procure all necessary sediment and erosion control permits. Any erosion and sediment control measures shown on the Plans are for the contractor’s convivence in obtaining required permits and are not intended to be representative of the extent of requirements to comply with permits or regulatory authority requirements.

3.7 UNIMPROVED AREAS

Areas not shown to receive stone, concrete, or other specifically identified surfaces to be fine graded and vegetative cover established. Finish grade should not pond water and should be mowable with handheld equipment.

3.8 CONCRETE PADS

Unless specifically noted otherwise or shown on the drawings, miscellaneous concrete pads to be 4” thick un-reinforced, with light broom finish, over compact aggregate base.

Form or cut control joints to control crack locations. All pads should have straight, formed edges.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

Reference to pipes shall include conduits, cables, or other utility systems. Appurtenant structures include manholes, catch basins, inlets, outlets, energy dissipaters, or similar structures.

2.1 PIPE BEDDING & BACKFILL

Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, refer to adjacent water and sewer municipality for suitable bedding, haunching, and backfill.

In no case shall bedding or haunching materials exceed 1 inch.

No rounded aggregate will be permitted.

Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, suitable dry on-site material may be utilized above pipe spring-lines, with a 1” max particle size to 1’ over the pipe crown and a 4” max particle size to grade.

3.1 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 OSHA Standards (29 CFR 1926). 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. 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.

3.2 BOTTOM PREPARATION

The bottoms of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for the entire length of pipe. Remove all rocks and other materials which may cause pressure points.

Hand excavate for bell ends. Pipe shall not bear on bell ends.

3.3 BACKFILLING AND COMPACTION

For trenches backfill, common backfill above the bedding shall be placed in 6" lifts and compacted with special purpose compaction equipment. Compaction equipment shall be selected to avoid damage to the pipe.

3.4 BURIAL DEPTH

Unless otherwise shown on the plans, trenches shall be of a depth listed by the local government to provide the minimum specified cover from indicated finished grade to the top of the pipe, cable or conduit. In the absence of plan notations or local guidance minimum burial depth of specific utilities is given below:

Water lines: 18 inches Sanitary Sewer: 18 inches Electrical wiring in conduit: 18 inches or as required by other governing authority

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The Contractor will furnish and install a complete and operational potable water system generally as depicted on the plans. Omission of necessary items or components from the drawings that are necessary to provide a complete and operational system does not relieve the contractor from providing such items.
