A. UTILITY CONSTRUCTION 2

1. Public utility installations and structures shall be understood to include all poles, 3 tracks, pipes, wires, conduits, house service connections, vaults, manholes and all 4 other appurtenances and facilities pertaining thereto, whether owned or controlled by 5 governmental bodies or privately owned by individuals, firms or corporations, used to 6 serve the public with transportation, traffic control, gas, electricity, telephone, 7 sewerage, drainage or water. Other public or private property, which may be affected 8 by the Work, shall be deemed included hereunder. 9

2. All open excavations shall be adequately safeguarded by providing temporary 10 barricades, caution signs, lights and other means. The Contractor shall, at his own 11 expense, provide suitable and safe bridges and other crossings for accommodating 12 travel by pedestrians and workmen. Bridges provided for access to private property 13 during construction shall be removed when no longer required. 14

3. The length of open trench will be controlled by the particular surrounding conditions, 15 but shall always be confined to the limits described by the County. If any excavation 16 becomes a hazard, or if it excessively restricts traffic at any point, the County may 17 require special construction procedures. As a minimum, the Contractor shall conform 18 to the following restoration procedures: 19

a. Interim Restoration: All excavations shall be backfilled and compacted as 20 specified by the end of each working day. For excavations within existing paved 21 areas; limerock base or soil cement base (match existing) shall be spread and 22 compacted to provide a relatively smooth surface free of loose aggregate material. At 23 the end of each workweek, the S-I asphaltic surface course shall be completed and 24 opened to traffic. Contractor shall coordinate his construction activity including 25 density tests and inspections to allow sufficient time to achieve this requirement. All 26 driveway cuts shall be backfilled, compacted, and limerock base spread and 27 compacted immediately after installation. Contractor shall coordinate with the 28 individual property owners prior to removing the driveway section. Any utility 29 crossing an existing roadway, parking lot or other paved area shall be patched by the 30 end of the working day. 31

b. All pipe and fittings shall be neatly stored in a location, which will cause the least 32 disturbance to the public. All debris shall be removed and properly disposed of by the 33 end of each working day. 34

c. Final Restoration Overlay: After completing all installations, and after testing of 35 the pipe (but no sooner than 30-days after applying the S-I asphaltic surface), final 36 restoration shall be performed. In no event shall final restoration begin after 37 substantial completion. Final restoration shall provide an S-III asphaltic overlay as 38 specified in an uninterrupted continuous operation until completion. Any additional 39 restoration required after testing shall be repaired in a timely manner at no additional 40 cost to the County. 41

d. Maintenance of all restored facilities shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. This 42 maintenance shall be performed on an on-going basis during the course of 43 construction. The Contractor’s Progress Schedule shall reflect the above restoration 44 requirements. 45
