Said methods shall comply with the <br />Trench Safety Act (TSA). Sheeting and shoring or other approved methods shall be <br />designed by a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in the State of Florida. <br />C. For structures, the Contractor shall maintain the bottom of the excavation firm and dry and <br />maintain an elevation of the water 1 foot below the concrete to be placed, by use of pumps, <br />tremie or other acceptable method. <br /> <br />D. In areas where trench widths are not limited by right-of-way or easement widths, property <br />line restrictions, existing adjacent improvements including pavements, structures, and <br />other utilities, and maintenance of traffic, the trench sides may be sloped to a suitable <br />angle of repose of the excavated material. <br /> <br />E. Ladders or steps shall be provided for and used by workmen to enter and leave trenches. <br /> <br />F. Excavated material shall be stored and disposed of in such a manner that they will not <br />interfere unduly with traffic on public streets and sidewalks. In congested areas, such <br />materials, cannot be stored adjacent to the trench nor used immediately as backfill, shall <br />be removed to convenient places of storage. If any material is creating a public hazard or <br />other unsafe condition, it shall be removed immediately to a storage area. <br /> <br />G. Materials suitable for use as backfill be hauled to and used in areas where not enough <br />suitable material is available from the excavation. Material unsuitable for use in backfill <br />shall be removed promptly and disposed of by the Contractor. Any pockets of organic <br />matter, concrete or other unsuitable material encountered in excavating shall be removed <br />and replaced with material satisfactory to the Department. <br /> <br />H. The excavation of walls for forms will not be permitted. <br /> <br />I. Excavation for structures <br /> <br />1. Clear, as stated above, all existing items or structures in the way of the proposed <br />pipeline or structures and excavate as necessary to the depths and dimensions <br />shown on the Plans, but in all cases as necessary for satisfactory installation. <br /> <br />2. Where pavements or sidewalks are cut, they shall be cut by means of a mechanical <br />pavement saw to form true and straight edges which shall, in general, be either <br />parallel or at right angles. <br /> <br />3. To protect himself from being held liable for any existing damaged pavement, <br />including detour routes, the Contractor is advised to notify in writing the authority <br />having jurisdiction over the street where such defective pavement exists prior to <br />proceeding with any work in the vicinity. A copy of all such notices shall be <br />forwarded to the Department. <br /> <br />4. Where interlocking steel sheeting is used, the Department may require that the <br />sheeting be cut off at a level 2 feet above the top of the installed pipe and that <br />portion below the level be left in place. <br /> <br />5. Excavation for manholes and other piping appurtenances shall be sufficient to <br />leave at least 2 feet clear between their outer surfaces and the embankment or <br />sheeting.
