PART 3 – EXECUTION 3.01 EXCAVATION City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 10 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 A. Requirements for all Excavation: Foundation pits shall be excavated to permit the placing of the full widths and lengths of footings shown in the plans with full horizontal beds. Corners or edges of footings shall not be rounded or undercut. All excavation shall be carried to foundation materials satisfactory to the ENGINEER regardless of the elevation shown on the plans. Unless a firm footing can be established on solid rock before such depths is reached, it shall be carried to such additional depth as may be necessary to eliminate any danger of undermining. Wherever rock bottom is secured, the excavation shall be done in such manner as to allow the solid rock to be exposed and prepared in horizontal beds for receiving the masonry. All loose and disintegrated rock or thin strata shall be removed. All foundation excavations shall be inspected and approved by the ENGINEER prior to the placing of masonry. B. Earth Excavation - Foundation Material other than Rock: 1. When masonry is to rest on an excavated surface other than rock, special care shall be taken to avoid disturbing the bottom of the excavation, and the final removal of the foundation material to grade shall not be made until just before the masonry is to be placed. In case the foundation material is soft or mucky the ENGINEER may require the CONTRACTOR to excavate to a greater depth and to backfill to grade with approved material. C. Removal of Obstructions: 1. The CONTRACTOR shall perform all excavation of whatever substances encountered to the depths indicated on the drawings or as necessary. Excavation shall be unclassified regardless of material encountered. This shall include necessary clearing and grubbing of any foreign substance encountered within the structure or trench area. 2. Boulders, logs, or any unforeseen obstacles encountered in excavating shall be removed and no additional compensation will be allowed because of difficulties met in driving through or removing such obstructions. 3. No separate payment for excavation as such will be made. The cost thereof shall be included in the prices for the pipe installation. Excavation material suitable for backfill shall be piled in an orderly manner at a sufficient distance from the trench to avoid overloading and to prevent slides or cave-ins. D. Rock Excavation: 1. All rock and other hard foundation material shall be freed of all loose material, cleaned, and cut to a firm surface; either level, stepped vertically and horizontally, or serrated, as may be directed by the ENGINEER. All seams shall be cleaned out and filled with concrete or mortar. City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 11 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 E. Removal of Unstable Material: 1. It is the intent of this specification that all pipe and other structures shall be provided with a stable foundation, and that any material, which by reason of kind or condition is not and cannot be made stable by drainage or compaction, shall be removed or replaced. Therefore, any material encountered at the elevation shown on the drawings or specified for pipe that will not or cannot be improved to provide a stable foundation for the pipe, shall be removed and replaced. All unstable material below the grade line of the pipe shall be removed for the full width of the trench and replaced with suitable selected material, compacted as specified elsewhere in these specifications. For the purpose of this specification, muck, peat and other highly organic soils shall be considered to be unstable materials. Also, any soil which is or might become wet to such a degree that its moisture content is equal to or greater than 90 percent of its liquid limit will have to be specifically approved by the ENGINEER with regard to stability, or shall be considered to be an unstable material requiring removal and replacement. 3.02 PIPE TRENCH EXCAVATION A. Trenches for pipe culverts and for storm sewers shall be excavated to the required depth and to a width sufficient to provide adequate working room. For pipe lines placed above the natural ground line the embankment shall be placed and compacted, prior to excavation of the trench, to an elevation at least two feet above the top of the pipe and to a width equal to four pipe diameters, and the trench then excavated to the required grade. Where the soils permit, the trench sides shall be vertical up to at least the mid-point of the pipe. B. Work shall be performed in compliance with applicable Trench Safety Standards identified in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Excavation Safety Standards (OSHA), 29 C.F.R.S. 1926.650 Subpart P will be adhered to during trench excavation in accordance with Florida Statutes 553.60 through 533.64 inclusive (1990), "Trench Safety Act". C. For all pipe culverts and storm sewers 24 inches or over in diameter (except side drain), the bedding shall be shaped to conform to the outside of the pipe, for a depth of not less than 10 percent of its total height (outside dimensions) and recesses provided to receive the bell. D. Where wet conditions are such that dewatering by normal pumping methods, including wellpointing, would not be effective, then this requirement may be modified by the ENGINEER. No payment will be allowed for select bedding material, which might be utilized by the CONTRACTOR for his own convenience in lieu of dewatering. City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 12 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 E. For all side drains, and for pipe culverts less than 24 inches in diameter, the trench bottom may be either flat, or shaped to fit the bottom of the pipe, except as provided for trenches, cut below grade and for areas of unsuitable foundation material. Regardless of the shape of the trench bottom, excavation shall be made for the hubs as required to allow the pipe barrel to rest firmly on the trench bottom. The bottom of the trench shall be rounded so that the bottom quadrant of the pipe will rest firmly on undisturbed soil for as nearly the full length of the barrel as proper jointing operations will permit. This part of the excavation shall be done manually only a few feet in advance of the pipelaying by men skilled in this type of work. Unauthorized overdepths shall be backfilled with loose, granular, moist earth, thoroughly tamped. Whenever the presence of incipient slides is noted during excavation, the trench walls shall be restrained with adequate sheeting, shoring and bracing. Trench excavation in the proximity of certain existing sanitary sewers and other utility lines shall be protected by either steel or wood sheeting. Used sheet piling in good condition, which has been inspected and approved by the ENGINEER, may be used in place of new sheet piling. F. The CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate equipment for the removal of storm or subsurface waters, which may accumulate in the excavated areas. If subsurface water is encountered, the CONTRACTOR shall utilize approved means to adequately dewater the excavation so that it will be dry for working and pipelaying. A wellpoint system or other approved dewatering method shall be utilized, if necessary, to maintain the excavation in a dry condition for preparation of the trench bottom and for pipe laying. G. Contractor shall, wherever necessary, provide temporary sidewalks and driveway entrances at his own expense, including safe bridges over trench and fencing around excavations for pedestrian protection. H. Contractor to adhere to the construction pollution prevention plan prior to any activities. 3.03 UNSUITABLE MATERIAL A. When rock, boulders, or other hard, lumpy or unyielding materials are encountered in the trench bottom they shall be removed to a depth at least 12 inches below the bottom of the pipe. Muck or other soft material considered by the ENGINEER to be unsuitable as foundation for the pipe shall be removed to a depth as where sand or other acceptable material is encountered, and to the width of the trench as directed by ENGINEER. 3.04 PIPE BEDDING B. When undercutting is required in order to remove unsuitable material (either hard or soft), the trench shall be backfilled to a point six inches above the bottom of the pipe, with suitable granular material which will form a firm bed for City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 13 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 the pipe, and the bottom shall be shaped to fit the pipe to a point six inches above the bottom of the pipe. Such bedding material shall be coarse sand, washed limerock or other suitable granular material. Where bell and spigot pipe is used, the bell holes shall be deep enough to ensure that the bell does not bear on the bottom of the excavation, and shall not be excessively wide in the longitudinal direction of the culvert or storm drain. 3.05 COMPACTION A. When a pipe trench is undercut in order to remove unsuitable material or for other reasons, it shall be brought to required grade using suitable materials, after which the bottom shall be compacted to match approximately the density of the soil in which the trench was cut. 3.06 PIPELAYING A. As pipe laying progresses, the interior of the pipe shall be cleaned of all dirt and superfluous materials. The CONTRACTOR shall, at all times, take whatever measures are necessary to prevent the entrance of dirt and other foreign matter into the storm sewer system. In the event that it is necessary to clean the pipe before final acceptance, the CONTRACTOR shall do so without additional compensation. B. Open Trench - No more than 200 linear feet, or the length of trench between consecutive drainage structures, shall be left open behind pipe laying, whichever distance is greater. In no instance shall any trench be left open for more than 24 hours before backfilling in accordance with these specifications. 3.07 DEWATERING A. The CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate equipment for the removal of storm or subsurface waters that may accumulate in the excavation. If subsurface water is encountered, the CONTRACTOR shall utilize suitable equipment to adequately dewater the excavation so that it will be dry for work and pipelaying. A wellpoint system or other ENGINEER approved dewatering method shall be utilized, if necessary, to maintain the excavation in a dry condition for preparation of the trench bottom and for pipe laying. Dewatering by trench pumping will not be permitted if migration of fine-grained natural material from bottom, sidewalls or bedding material will occur. In the event that satisfactory dewatering cannot be accomplished due to subsurface conditions or where dewatering could damage existing structures, the CONTRACTOR shall obtain the ENGINEER’s approval of wet trench construction procedure before commencing construction. Dewatering shall cease in a manner to allow the subsurface water to slowly return to normal levels. City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 14 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 B. Water pumped from the trench or other excavation shall be disposed of in storm sewers having adequate capacity, canals or suitable disposal pits. CONTRACTOR is responsible for acquiring all permits required to discharge the water, and shall protect waterways from turbidity during the dewatering operation. In areas where adequate disposal sites are not available, partially backfilled trenches may be used for water disposal only when the ENGINEER approves the CONTRACTOR’s plan for trench disposal in writing. The CONTRACTOR’s plan shall include temporary culverts, barricades and other protective measures to prevent damage to property or injury to any person or persons. No flooding of streets, roadways, driveways or private property will be permitted. Engines driving dewatering pumps shall be equipped with residential type mufflers. 3.08 PUMPING A. Pumping from the interior of any foundation enclosure shall be done in such a manner as to preclude the possibility of any portion of the concrete materials being carried away. No pumping shall be done while concrete is being placed, or for a period of at least 24 hours thereafter, unless it is done from a suitable pump separated from the concrete work by a watertight wall. 3.09 BACKFILLING A. Backfill Materials: 1. Backfilling to the original ground surface or subgrade surface of openings made for structures, with a sufficient allowance for settlement, shall be a part of the work of excavation, although the ENGINEER may require that the material used in making the backfill be obtained from a source entirely apart from the structure. All material used for backfill shall be of a quality acceptable to the ENGINEER, and shall be free from large lumps, wood, or other extraneous material. 2. Heavy construction equipment will not be permitted to cross over culvert or storm sewer pipes until backfill material has been placed and compacted to the finished earthwork grade or to an elevation at least 2-1/2 feet above the crown of the pipe. B. Compaction Under Wet Conditions: 1. Where wet conditions do not permit the use of mechanical tampers, compaction of the backfill shall be done with hand tampers. Only A-3 material will be allowed for use in the hand tamped portions of the backfill. When the backfill has reached an elevation and condition such as to make the use of the mechanical tampers practicable, the mechanical tamping shall be done in such a manner and to such extent as to transfer the compaction force into the sections previously tamped by hand. City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 15 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 C. Compaction Requirements for Pipe Culverts and Storm Sewers: 1. The backfilling of pipe trenches shall be done in three stages as follows: a. In the first stage the CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate compacted fill beneath the haunches of the pipe, using mechanical tampers suitable for this purpose. This compaction applies to the material placed beneath the haunches of the pipe. b. In the second stage the CONTRACTOR shall obtain a well-compacted bed and fill along the sides of the pipe and to a point at lest one foot above the top of the pipe. The width of backfill and compaction to be done under this second stage shall be the width of the portion of the trench having vertical sides, or, when no portion of the trench having vertical sides, it shall be to a width at least equal to twice the outside diameter of the pipe. c. In the third stage the remainder of the trench shall be backfilled with suitable material, which shall be compacted in accordance with the requirements below. 2. Compaction: a. The backfill for the first and second stages shall be placed in six-inch layers (compacted thickness) and shall be compacted to 98% of maximum density as determined by AASHTO T180. Where the backfill lies within the roadway embankment or subgrade, it shall be compacted to the densities specified for these areas. b. When pavement is to be constructed over the pipe, the backfill for the third stage shall be placed in the manner and compacted to the degree required for the first and second stages. Where no pavement is to be constructed and vehicular traffic is not to pass over the pipe, the third stage backfill shall be compacted to a firmness approximately equal to that of the soil adjacent to the pipe trench. D. Backfill Under Wet Conditions: 1. Where wet conditions are such that dewatering by normal pumping methods would not be effective, the procedure outlined below may be used when specifically authorized by the ENGINEER in writing and noted in the job diary. In such specifically authorized cases the backfill material used below the elevation at which mechanical tampers would be effective shall be of the A-3 soil classification (based on AASHTO Designation M145-49). After the pipe is bedded properly, the A-3 material shall be placed, and rammed and compacted under the pipe haunches by the use of timbers or City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 02630 - 16 Storm Drainage 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 hand tampers, and hand-tamping continued during the placing of the backfill until the backfill reaches an elevation such that its moisture content will permit the use of mechanical tampers. When the backfill has reached such elevation, normally acceptable backfill material may be used and compaction shall be obtained by the use of mechanical tampers. The mechanical tamping shall be done in such manner and to such extent as to transfer the compacting force into the previously hand-tamped fill. E. Requirements for Thick Lift Compaction in Granular Materials: 1. If the CONTRACTOR has compaction equipment with which the required density can be obtained in thicker lifts than permitted above and upon satisfactory evidence that the proposed equipment will produce work equal in quality to that produced by the specified methods, the ENGINEER may permit placement of granular material of soil groups A-1, A-2, or A-3 in lifts up to a maximum of three foot compacted thickness. The CONTRACTOR will be required to furnish equipment and labor to excavate and backfill test pits to be dug for the performance of density tests. 2. Use of thick lift compaction procedures will not be allowed for first stage backfilling (beneath the haunches) of pipe culverts and storm sewers. 3.10 CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR RIP RAP HEADWALLS A. The sand and cement shall be mixed dry, in the proportions of five cubic feet of sand to one bag of cement, until the mixture is of uniform color. B. The mixed material shall be accurately measured into each sack, with care being taken to place the same amount of material in each sack, and at least the top six inches of the sacks shall remain unfilled to allow for properly tying or folding and to insure against breakage of the sack during placing. C. The filled sacks shall be placed with their tied or folded ends all in the same direction unless otherwise shown on the plans. The sacks shall be laid with broken joints, in a regular pattern. The sacks shall be rammed or backed against each other so as to form a close and molded contact after the sand and cement mixture has set up. Sacks ripped with sound, unbroken sacks. Reinforcing rods shall be added as shown on the plans. All sacks shall then be thoroughly saturated with water. D. Immediately after watering, all openings between sacks shall be filled with dry grout composed of one part Portland cement and five parts sand. E. After the bags have been set up, a concrete cap shall be formed and poured on the headwall as shown on the plans.
