Other public or private property, which may be affected by the Work, shall be deemed included hereunder.

2. All open excavations shall be adequately safeguarded by providing temporary barricades, caution signs, lights, and other means. The Contractor shall, at his own expense, provide suitable and safe bridges and other crossings for accommodating travel by pedestrians and workmen. Bridges provided for access to private property during construction shall be removed when no longer required.

3. The length of an open trench will be controlled by the particular surrounding conditions, but shall always be confined to the limits described by the County. If any excavation becomes a hazard, or if it excessively restricts traffic at any point, the

County may require special construction procedures. As a minimum, the Contractor shall conform to the following restoration procedures:

a. Interim Restoration: All excavations shall be backfilled and compacted, as specified, by the end of each working day. For excavations within existing paved areas, limerock base or soil cement base (match existing) shall be spread and compacted to provide a relatively smooth surface free of loose aggregate material.

At the end of each workweek, the S-I asphaltic surface course shall be completed and opened to traffic. The Contractor shall coordinate his construction activity, 01001 - 12 of 18 including density tests and inspections, to allow sufficient time to achieve this requirement. All driveway cuts shall be backfilled, compacted, and limerock base spread and compacted immediately after installation. Contractor shall coordinate with the individual property owners prior to removing the driveway section. Any utility crossing an existing roadway, parking lot, or other paved area shall be patched by the end of the working day.

b. All pipe and fittings shall be neatly stored in a location so as to cause the least disturbance to the public. All debris shall be removed and properly disposed of by the end of each working day.

c. Final Restoration Overlay: After completing all installations, and after testing of the pipe (but no sooner than 30-days after applying the S-I asphaltic surface), final restoration shall be performed. In no event shall final restoration begin after substantial completion. Final restoration shall provide for base and asphaltic overlay as specified by the requirements of the Florida Department of

Transportation permit issuer or the Public Works Utilization of Right of Way specifications, in an uninterrupted continuous operation until completion. Any additional restoration required after testing shall be repaired in a timely manner at no additional cost to the County.

d. Maintenance of all restored facilities shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. This maintenance shall be performed on an on-going basis during the course of construction. The Contractor’s Progress Schedule shall reflect the above restoration requirements.

e. Additional Restoration for Work in Business or Commercial Districts: The

Contractor shall restore all private property damaged by construction to its original condition. Access to businesses located adjacent to the project site must be maintained at all times. Contractor may prearrange the closing of business accesses with the business owner. Such prearranged access closing shall not exceed two (2) hours. Property drainage and grading shall be restored within twenty-four (24) hours of backfilling the trench.

B. Existing Utilities

1. The locations of all existing underground piping, structures, and other facilities are shown based on information received from the respective owner. The locations are shown without express or implied representation, assurance, or guarantee that they are complete or correct or that they represent a true picture of underground piping, conduit, and cables to be encountered. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to verify all existing underground piping, structures, and other facilities.

2. The Contractor shall, at all times, employ acceptable methods and exercise reasonable care and skill so as to avoid unnecessary delay, injury, damage, or destruction of existing utility installations and structures; and shall, at all times in the performance of the Work, avoid unnecessary interference with, or interruption of, utility services;

and shall cooperate fully with the owners thereof to that end.

3. When existing facilities are found to be in conflict with the Work, the County

01001 - 13 of 18 reserves the right to modify alignments to avoid interference with existing facilities.

4. All utilities which do not interfere with the Work shall be carefully protected against damage. Any existing utilities damaged in any way by the Contractor shall be restored or replaced by the Contractor at his expense and as directed by the County.

Any existing facilities which require operation to facilitate repairs shall be operated only by the owner of the respective utility.

5. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that all utilities and/or poles, the stability of which may be endangered by the proximity of excavation, be temporarily stayed and/or shored in position while work proceeds in the vicinity of the pole and that the utility or other companies concerned be given reasonable advance notice of any such excavation.

C. Notices

1. All governmental utility departments and other owners of public utilities which may be affected by the Work shall be informed of the Work, in writing, by the Contractor, no more than two (2) weeks after the execution of the Contract(s) covering the Work.

Such notice shall be sent out in general and directed to the attention of the governmental utility departments and other owners of public utilities for such installations and structures as may be affected by the Work.

2. The Contractor shall comply with Florida Statute 553.851 regarding protection of underground gas pipelines. Evidence of notification to the gas pipeline owner shall be furnished to the County immediately, as needed.

3. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to contact utility companies at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of breaking ground in any area or on any unit of the Work, so maintenance personnel may locate and protect facilities, if required by the utility company.

4. The Contractor shall give a minimum five (5) working day notice to utility personnel prior to interrupting a utility service (water, sewer, etc.).

D. Exploratory Excavations

1. Exploratory excavations shall be conducted by the Contractor for the purpose of locating underground pipelines or structures in advance of the construction. Test pits shall be excavated in areas of potential conflicts between existing and proposed facilities and at piping connections to existing facilities a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours or 1,000-feet in advance of work. If there is a potential conflict, the Contractor shall notify the County immediately. Information on the obstruction to be furnished by the Contractor shall include: Location, Elevation, Utility Type, Material and Size.

Test pits shall be backfilled immediately after their purpose has been satisfied and the surface restored and maintained in a manner satisfactory to the County.

E. Utility Crossings

1. It is intended that wherever existing utilities must be crossed, deflection of the pipe

01001 - 14 of 18 within specified limits and cover shall be used to satisfactorily clear the obstruction unless otherwise indicated on the Drawings. However, when in the opinion of the

County this procedure is not feasible, the County may direct the use of fittings for a utility crossing or conflict transition as detailed on the Drawings.

F. Relocations

1. Relocations shown on the Drawings: Public utility installations or structures, including but not limited to poles, signs, fences, piping, conduits, and drains that interfere with the positioning of the Work, which are shown on the Drawings to be removed, relocated, replaced, or rebuilt by the Contractor shall be considered as part of the general cost of doing the Work and shall be included in the prices bid for the various Contract items.
