Breakups of predetermined dimensions and partial or total demolition of masonry and concrete surfaces, floor, etc., must be performed in a workmanlike manner, by taking the necessary precautions or by shoring the surfaces in order to avoid damages to the structures to be left in place, accidents, inconveniences or interference. Waste material shall not be thrown down, but rather, it shall be conveyed or guided downward, after wetting it to prevent raising dust. During demolition or removal work, the Contractor shall adopt every measure suitable to avoid deterioration of the items which may be reinstalled, or which, in the opinion of the COR, may be used at a later date. These items shall be cleaned, guarded, hauled and set neatly in the storage areas indicated by the COR. The demolition work shall be limited to the work, or to its parts, and to the dimensions specified. Reconstruction of structures demolished over and above the quantities indicated, as well as rehabilitation of work damaged as a result of lack or omission of precautions or shoring, shall be performed by the Contractor at his own expense. All waste material resulting from demolition and removal shall be handled by the contractor in accordance with para. 1a-02 of these specifications.

SECTION IIIb

EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING

3b-01 EXCAVATION.

a. General. During excavation, material suitable for backfilling shall be piled at a sufficient distance from the banks of the excavation to avoid backslides. All earthy material in excess or unsuitable for backfilling shall be delivered to the location indicated by the COR and within 10 km from work site. This does not apply to debris and rubble of all types, from which excavation material shall be rid of; these shall be disposed of at a dump, as prescribed at paragraph 1a-02. Ground water will be encountered; depending on seasonal variations the ground water nay be encountered from 0.80 to 1.50 m below grade. Contractor shall remove water by pumping or other methods to prevent the softening of surfaces exposed by excavation. Before excavation below ground water level, place the dewatering system into operation. Lower the water levels at least 30 cm below the bottom and side slopes of the excavation. Use screens and gravel packs as necessary on the dewatering devices to prevent the removal of fines from the soil. Operate the dewatering system continuously, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week until construction work below existing water levels is complete. Measure and record the performance of the dewatering system at the same time each day by use of observation wells and piezometers installed in conjunction with the dewatering system. After placement of initial slabs and backfilling, the water level may be allowed to rise but at no time allow it to rise higher than 30 cm below the prevailing level of excavation or backfill. Have a back-up system available for immediate use. Struts and shoring shall be placed as necessary for the protection of the work and for the safety of personnel. Adequate precautions shall be taken for the protection of existing underground pipelines or electrical cables. Before any excavation is started, plans showing the approximate location of underground utility lines shall be furnished to the Contractor, upon his request. The area of excavation shall be delimited by trestles, gangplanks, and warning signs visible during night and day, to prevent injuries to persons, as prescribed by the ISPESL standards.

b. Trenches. Trenches shall be of the necessary width for the proper laying of electric cables, and the banks shall be as nearly vertical as practicable. The bottom shall be accurately graded so as to provide bearing for the pipe on firm soil. The clear space between the pipe and the trenches wall shall not exceed 8" (20 cm.) on either side of the pipe.

IIIb-1

Further excavation will be required for housing and sealing of pipe joints. In proximity of buildings, existing underground utility lines, and wherever specifically requested in other sections of these specifications or on drawing notes, trenches shall be excavated manually.

c. Excavation for Foundation and Appurtenances. Excavation for manholes and similar structures shall be of sufficient dimensions as to leave a 12 inches (30 cm.) free space between their outer surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to hold the banks.

3b-02 BACKFILLING. Trenches shall not be backfilled until foundation, cables have been inspected and approved. Where, in the opinion of the COR, damage is likely to result from withdrawing of shoring, the latter shall be left in place. Trenches shall be backfilled with the excavated materials, if deemed suitable, free from large clods of earth, stones, and roots.

Backfilling material shall be deposited in 15 cm. (6") layers, thoroughly rammed until the trench is completely covered, and watered as necessary. Any material rejected by COR shall be replaced with material acceptable to the COR, coming from borrow pits located outside the US military base.

3b-03 REPAIRS. All crossings of existing paved or asphalt coated surfaces shall be cut neatly vertical and horizontal. At the completion of the work, pavement and sidewalks shall be restored to the original conditions. Damaged lawns shall be sown again and damaged plants shall be replaced with others of the same kinds. Any damage caused during the work progress shall be repaired by and at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall be responsible also for injuries caused to persons as a result of non-compliance with prescribed ISPESL norms.

NOTE: In addition to above requirements, before starting the excavation, the Contractor must investigate with a metal detector furnished by himself the location of existing underground utility lines, e.g. electrical, communications, water, TV lines, or any other utility which may not be shown on the existing condition drawings, in order to prevent damaging or interrupting any existing utility. Investigation shall be done in the presence of the COR. Trial runs shall be done with the metal detector in the presence of the COR or his representative prior to the investigation. Investigation shall be done following COR approval of metal detector. The Contractor shall mark-up on a copy of the existing conditions the exact field location of the existing utility lines which are found during excavation. This copy shall then be submitted to the COR. Excavation work performed close to existing utility lines shall be done by hand within a 1 meter radius.

SECTION IIId

EXTERIOR SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM

EXTERIOR WATER SYSTEM

3e-01 INSTALLATION. All pipes shall be installed complete with special parts of all kinds (elbows, runouts, sleeves, brass fittings, etc.) and with the necessary threading, mastic, hangers, ties, anchors and supports. Pipes layout shall be such as to avoid sharp curves or chokes.

3e-02 FINAL TEST. Pipeline shall not be backfilled until all piping have been cleaned and inspected for seal. Therefore, the water system shall be hydrostatically tested at a pressure of 14 kg/sq.cm. for not less than 4 hours. Leaks noted during final test shall be eliminated by replacing the pipe or fitting. Caulking of joints will not be permitted. After such replacements, tests shall be repeated until positive result is obtained. All tests will be conducted in presence of the COR, by Contractor's furnished equipment, at no additional cost to the US Government.

3e-03 DISINFECTION. Each unit of completed water service line shall be disinfected as specified herein. After pressure tests have been made, the unit to be disinfected shall be thoroughly flushed with water until all entrained dirt and mud have been removed before introducing the chlorinating material. The chlorinating material shall be either calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite. The chlorinating material shall provide a dosage of no less than 50 ppm and shall be introduced into the water lines in an approved manner. In no case will the agent be introduced into the line in a dry solid state. The treated water shall be retained in the pipe long enough to destroy all bacteria and spores bacteria. Except where a shorter period is approved, the retention time shall be at least 24 hours; no less than 10 ppm of chlorine shall result throughout the line at the end of the retention period. All valves on the lines being disinfected shall be opened and closed several times during the contact period. The line shall then be flushed with clean water until the residual chlorine is reduced to less than 1.0 ppm. The Contracting Officer will take samples of water from several points in the unit in proper sterilized containers for bacterial examination. The disinfection shall be repeated until tests indicated absence of pollution for at least 2 full days. The unit will not be accepted until satisfactory bacteriological results have been obtained.
