An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with
characters other than "SU" denotes that the union
classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that
classification. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2011. The
first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and
the four-digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local
union number or district council number where applicable ,
i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the
example, is an internal number used in processing the wage
determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these
characters is the effective date of the most current
negotiated rate/collective bargaining agreement which would be
July 1, 2011 in the above example.
Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any
changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the
rate.
Non-Union Identifiers
Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived
from survey data by computing averaqe rates and are not union
rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may
include both union and non-union data. Example: SULA2004-007
5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union rates, LA
indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the
survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the
wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates
the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued
as a General Wage Determination on that date.
Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change
until a new survey is conducted.
WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can
be.
* an existing published wage determination
* a survey underlying a wage determination
* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
* a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests
for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour
Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted
because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the
Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial
contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)
and 3.) should be followed.
With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal
process described here, initial contact should be with the
Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Unless otherwise specified, the order of construction will generally be left to the
CONTRACTOR. In the case of pipelines, however, any segment or system, once started, shall be
worked on continuously until it is completed and placed in service. The practice of installing all
or most of the pipe before placing any of the system into service, shall be avoided. The
CONTRACTOR'S compliance with this condition shall be a prime consideration in determining
unit quantities allowed on partial payment estimates.
Where the OWNER provides water and sewer service, it is imperative to continue the operation
of the existing facilities. It will be mandatory that this CONTR.ACTOR so arrange his work as to
cause the absolute minimum inconvenience to the existing users.
Coordination with Existing Utilities
The location of existing buried utilities, where shown, are approximate only. There may exist
utilities, which are not shown. This CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for locating and
protecting all buried utilities. The existence of utilities not shown shall not be grounds for
additional compensation.
The CONTRACTOR shall contact each utility company ahead of performing the work, and
request the utility to locate its lines. Failure of the utility to locate, or improper location by the
utility, shall not result in additional cost to the OWNER.
All OWNER'S utilities damaged by the CONTRACTOR , shall be repaired by the
CONTRACTOR at his expense. Materials used in repair of utilities shall conform to these
specifications. The CONTRACTOR shall notify any utility customer in advance of shutting-off
his utility service. Existing water and sewer lines damaged shall be repaired within 4 hours on
the day damaged. OWNER shall operate his existing water valves in his system. However, he
does not guarantee 100% shut-off of existing water lines.
Where existing facilities of the OWNER or its customers are specifically designated to be
connected to the facilities constructed herein, this CONTR.ACTOR shall do so under the
OWNER'S supervision. If required by the OWNER, these connections will have to be made
during the period from midnight to 6:00 a.m.
Easements and Sites
The CONTRACTOR shall be solely liable for any damage to property or improvements as a
result of the construction of this work. This CONTRACTOR will cause to be protected all
76
improvements on or off the right-of-way, such as fences, buildings, signs, poles, utilities, trees,
shrubs, etc., unless designated for removal, and should such improvements be damaged, he shall
make restitution to the satisfaction of their OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible
for such improvements that must be relocated or temporarily moved and shall do such work at
his cost.
Clean-Up
At the conclusion of the work, and prior to final payment, all tools, temporary structures, and
materials belonging to the CONTRACTOR shall be promptly removed. All rubbish and other
foreign substances shall be removed from the project site and satisfactorily disposed of. All job
sites including streets, easements, rights-of-way, roads, and areas used by the CONTRACTOR
shall be left in a clean, neat condition satisfactory to their owner. The OWNER'S representative
may also require clean-up of the job site or easements and rights-of-way periodically during the
progress of the work.
Burning of brush on the work sites will not be permitted without the landowner's permission, and
then only in strict compliance with locai, state and federal laws. Any surplus excavated earth not
designated for reuse shall be disposed of at approved locations secured by the CONTRACTOR
at his expense, and rough leveled to the landowner's satisfaction.
Payment for Incidental Items
For unit price contracts, the payment for all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, overhead,
and associated costs to complete the project contemplated by the drawings and/or specifications
sha11 be according to the unit items set forth in the Bid Schedule. Payment for items required, but
not set forth in the Bid Schedule as separate pay items, shall be considered as incidental and shall
be included in the various items provided for in the Bid Schedule.
For lump sum contracts, the lump sum specified in the Bid Schedule shall include all necessary
labor, materials, equipment, supervision, overhead and associated costs to complete the project
contemplated by the drawings and/or these specifications, whether specifically listed on the Bid
Schedule, or not.
Record Drawintts
During progress of the job, the CONTRACTOR shall mark up a set of the drawings, including
dimensions, to indicate any deviations from the contract drawings. After completion of the job,
this set of record drawings is to be furnished to the ENGINEER for review, including sufficiency
of information, clarity, and readability.
Mobilization
"Mobilization" shall consist of the mobilization of personnel, equipment and supplies at the
project site and preparation for beginning work on other contract items. Mobilization shall
include, but is not limited to, the movement of equipment, personnel, materials, supplies, etc. to
77
such equipment provides an installation consistent with the requirements of this standard,
minimum trench widths may be reduced, as approved by the ENGINEER.
When supports such as trench sheeting, trench jacks, trench shields or boxes are used, ensure that
support of the pipe and its embedment is maintained throughout instailation. Ensure that wall
sheeting is sufficiently right to prevent washing out of the trench wall from behind the sheeting.
Provide tight support of trench walls below viaducts, existing utilities, or other obstruction that
restrict driving of sheeting.
Unless otherwise directed by the ENGINEER, sheeting shall not be placed in or below the pipe
zone to preclude loss of support of foundation and embedment materials. When specifically
allowed by the ENGINEER, sheeting may be placed in or below the pipe zone, with the top of
sheeting to be cut off 1.5 feet or more above the crown of the pipe. Leave rangers, whalers, and
braces in place as required to support cutoff sheeting and the trench wall in the vicinity of the
pipe zone. Timber sheeting to be left in place is considered a permanent structural member, and
should be treated against biological degradation (for example, attack by insects or other
biological forms) as necessary, and against decay if above groundwaYer.
Do not disturb the installed pipe and its embedment when using movable trench boxes and
shields. Movable supports should not be used below the top of the pipe zone unless approved
methods are used for maintaining the integrity of embedment material. Before moving supports,
place and compact ernbedment to sufficient depths to ensure protection of the pipe. As supports
are moved, finish placing and compacting embedment.
If the ENGINEER permits the use of sheeting or other trench wall supports below the pipe zone,
ensure that pipe and foundarion and embedment materials are not disturbed by support removal.
Fill voids left on removal of supports and compact all materials to required densities.
If ledge rock, hard pan, shale, or other unyielding material, cobbles, rubble or debris, boulders, or
stones larger than 1.5 in. (40 mm) are encountered in the trench bottom, excavate a minimum
depth of 6 in. (150 mm) below the pipe bottom and replace with proper embedment material.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the satisfactory disposal of excess and unsuitable
materials of any sort, and shall be responsible for backfilling, tamping, compacting, and refilling
after settlement, of all excavated areas and other land, private and public, damaged or occupied
by the CONTRACTOR in the performance of the contract, to as good condition as they were
prior to the beginning of the work. It shall be his further responsibility to remove all surface
obstruction to his work on easements or sites. He shall protect all pipes, conduits, signs, utility
poles, wire, fences, building, and other public or private property improvements adjacent to or in
the line of the work.
Installation and Backfill of Buried Pipe
CONTR.ACTOR shall comply with the "Materials", "Installation", and "Inspection, Handling
and Storage" sections of ASTM D-2321, except as modified herein.
80
Excavation shall be as described elsewhere in these specificarions and as shown on the drawings.
Install foundation and bedding as shown in the drawings and as specified herein, according to
conditions in the trench bottom. Provide a firm, stable, and uniform bedding for the pipe barrel
and any protruding features of its joint. Provide a minimurn 4 inch thickness of bedding unless a
greater thiclrness is specified.
When rock or unyielding material is present in the trench bottom, increase the thickness of
bedding material to 6 inches minimum.
Where the trench bottom is unstable or shows a"quick" tendency, excavate all unstable material
as a minimum, and replace with a foundation of material per Table I. Place and compact this
foundation material in accordance with the drawings. Control of quick and unstable trench
bottom conditions may also be accomplished with the use of appropriate geofabrics applied to
the satisfaction of the ENGINEER and in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. For severe conditions, the ENGINEER may require a special foundation such
as piles, sheeting, or concrete mats. Correction of unstable trench bottom shall not result in
increased cost to OWNER.
Minimize localized loadings and differential settlement wherever the pipe crosses other utilities
or subsurface structures. Provide a cushion of bedding material between the pipe and any such
point of localized loading.
If the trench bottom is excavated below intended grade, fill the over-excavation with compatible
foundation or bedding material and compact to a density not less than the minimum densities
given in the drawings.
If trench sidewalls slough off during any part of excavating or installing the pipe, remove all
sloughed and loose material from the trench.
All pipe line excavation made in one day shall have the pipe installed and backfilled the same
day. Excavation of trench days ahead of pipe laying will not be peimitted.
Excavations for pipe line appurtenances shall be backfilled as soon as is feasible.
Place pipe and fittings in the trench with the invert conforming to the required elevations, slopes,
and alignment. Ensure uniform pipe support. In special cases where the pipe is to be installed to
a curved alignment, maintain angular joint deflection or pipe bending radius, or both, as
indicated in the drawings.
Adjustment in grade shall be made by scraping away or filling in along the full length of the pipe
with approved bedding material, properly compacted, and not by wedging, blocking up the
conduit, or supporting the conduit on mounds of earth.
The width of trench excavation is set forth in the drawings and sha11 not be exceeded in the area
from the bottom of the trench to a point 12" above the top of the pipe.
81
Pipe shall be laid with the bell pointing away from the last joint. Pipe sockets and barrels shall be
clean and free from dirt at all times.
Comply with manufacturer's recommendations for assembly of joint components, lubrication,
and making of joints. When pipe laying is interrupted, secure piping against movement and seal
open ends to prevent the entrance of water, mud, or foreign material.
Mark, or verify that pipe ends are marked, to indicate insertion stop position, and ensure that
pipe is inserted into pipe or fitting bells to this mark. Push spigot into bell using methods
recommended by the manufacturer, keeping pipe true to line and grade. Protect the end of the
pipe during homing and do not use excessive force that may result in over-assembled joints or
dislodged gaskets. If full entry is not achieved, disassemble and clean the joint and reassemble.
Use only lubricant supplied or recommended for use by the pipe manufacturer.
When making solvent cement joints, follow recommendations of both the pipe and solvent
cement manufacturer. If full entry is not achieved, disassemble or remove and replace the joint.
Allow freshly made joints to set for the recommended time before rnoving, burying, or otherwise
disturbing the pipe.
When the pipe joint has been checked for line and grade, the bedding material shall be applied to
the springline of the pipe or as set forth in the drawings, and cornpacted by hand tamps or hand-
held mechanical tamps, taking care not to damage or displace the pipe.
On pressure lines, all gasket joint or mechanical joint dead ends, fittings, flush valves, fire
hydrants and offsets shall have Class D concrete thrust reaction blocking placed to provide for
pressure reaction, as set forth in the drawings.
Where specifically called for on the drawings, additional joint restraints shall be provided.
All pipe shall then be further embedded and backfilled as set forth in the drawings andlor as
described herein.
On highway right-of-way, backfill methods shall conform to the OWNER'S permits or as set
forth herein and in the drawings, whichever is more restrictive.
All embedment material shall be per Table I. It shall not be the "grassed-off' overburden stripped
from the site, but may be trench "tailings", provided these meet the requirements of Table I.
Where suitable embedment material, and/or suitable material for backfilling does not exist on the
job site, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish such material from off the job site at his expense, and
also dispose of the unsuitable material removed from the trench off of the job site, at his expense.
Place embedment materials by methods that will not disturb or damage the pipe. Work in and
tamp the haunching material in the area between the bedding and the underside of the pipe before
placing and compacting the rernainder of the embedment in the pipe zone. Follow compaction
82
requirements in the drawings for density requirements. Do not permit compaction equipment to
contact and damage the pipe. Use compaction equipment and techniques that are compatible with
materials used and location in the trench. Before using heavy compaction or construction
equipment directly over the pipe, place sufficient backfill to prevent damage, excessive
deflections, or other disturbance of the pipe. See minimum cover requirements elsewhere herein.
Pipe Embedment shall be compacted in 8" lifts or less.
All excavations sha11 be backfilled to finished grades, shapes, and configurations as shown on the
drawings. Finish backfill, after consolidation, shall not have a variance of over one inch in ten
feet when measured with a straight edge perpendicular to the slope. Any subsequent settlement
of finished areas shall be brought back to the final grade and configuration with additional
material as required, so that upon the completion of the construction of the project, and for the
twelve month maintenance period, all areas shall have their final grade and shape. The
CONTRACTOR, during the life of this contract, shall be responsible for so maintaining the
trench and trench backfill as to permit safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians over the same.
During inclement weather, he sha11 be responsible for removing any vehicle or livestock which
may become stuck, stalled, or stranded in a trench, or in trench backfill, and shall utilize every
available means to keep trenches and trench backfill across public thoroughfares and driveways
safe and passable at all times.
Initial backfill, i.e., that backfill material used to a point 6 to 12 inches above the top of the pipe,
shall be the same material as the embedment material. Unless otherwise noted on the drawings,
the final backfill may be the native material removed from the trench, except that rock removed
from the trench must be reduced to a size no larger than 3" maximum dimension before reuse.
Broken concrete larger than 3" in maximum dimension, trees, or other lumpy materials, or
materials frozen, or of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise improper nature shall never be used in
the backfill.
Consolidation of cohesionless material by watering (jetting or puddling) should only be used
under controlled conditions when approved by the ENGINEER. At all times, conform to the lift
thicknesses and minimum density requirements in the drawings.
To preclude damage to the pipe and disturbance to pipe embedment, a minimum depth of
backfill above the pipe should be maintained before allowing vehicles or heavy construction
equipment to traverse the pipe trench. For embedment materials installed to the minimum
densities required in the drawings, provide cover (that is, depth of backfill above top of pipe) of
at least 30 in. (0.8) or one pipe diameter (whichever is larger) before allowing vehicles or
construction equipment to traverse the trench surface.
All pressure conduits shall have a minimurn cover as follows: 3" diameter and smaller - 30"; 4"
thru 8" - 36"; and 10" and larger - 42", as measured from the natural ground surface to the top of
the pipe. Pressure pipe bury in unstratified rock may be raised 6" upon authorizarion from the
ENGINEER. Notwithstanding the above, all pipe rnust be buried a minimum of 36" below all
highway and railroad borrow ditches.
83
Changes in depth of cut for pressure lines, necessitated by conflicting existing underground
utilities will not be a basis for additional compensation, but will be considered as incidental
work. Such changes shall not reduce the specified pipe cover.
All pressure conduit, including 3" and smaller, shall be buried a minimum of 36" below the
flowline of all creeks, and those creek crossings in dirt shall be backfilled for a depth of 4" below
and 6" above the top of the conduit with Class D concrete. Creek crossings in rock-bottom creeks
shall be backfilled to the flowline of the creek with Class D concrete. The concrete shall extend
20 feet past the edge of the creek. The concrete backfill shall not be paid for as a separate pay
item.
All gravity pipelines shall have the depth of bury specified in the detail drawings, and will be
concrete encased where specifically noted in the drawings, at no additional cost to the OWNER.
Provide support for vertical risers as commonly found at service connections, cleanouts, and
drop manholes to preclude vertical or lateral movement. Prevent the direct transfer of thrust due
to surface loads and settlement, and ensure adequate support at points of connection to main
lines.
When excavating for a service line connection, excavate material from above the top of the
existing pipe before removing rnaterial from the sides of the pipe. Materials and density of
service line ernbedment should conform to the specifications for the existing line, or with this
specification, whichever is more stringent.
Secure caps and plugs to the pipe to prevent movement and resulting leakage under test and
service pressures.
Use flexible water stops, resilient connectors, or other flexible systems approved by the
ENGINEER to make watertight connections to manholes and other structures.
Pipe shall be protected during handling against impact shock and free fall. No cracked or
damaged pipe or joint shall be installed in the line. Handle and store pipe and fittings in
accordance with recommendations of the manufacturer.
If faults, caverns, or subsidence are discovered during construction, all work will be halted and
the ENGINEER will be contacted to inspect.

pavement material compacted to 95% of standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698).
Reinforcement of Adjacent Existing Utilities
Existing cast iron, or pressurized PVC utilities approximately at right angles to this
CONTRACTOR'S trench, will not require additional support or protection, other than the
exercise of care in placing new facilities adjacent to same, and in placing backfill, except when
85
the unsupported span is over six feet (6), in which case the existing pipe shall be supported by
concrete piers at no added cost to the OWNER.
Vitrified clay, concrete pipe, and/or gravity PVC utilities, approximately at right angles to the
ditch, will be removed to firm undisturbed ground on each side of the trench and the removed
section replaced with cast iron pipe or pressure-type PVC without additional compensation.
Note that for sewer lines crossing potable water mains, rnore restrictive requirements are stated
elsewhere herein.

Where it is indicated on construction drawings "REPLACEMENT MANHOLE", the
GONTRACTOR shall remove and replace existing manholes with new concrete manholes
meeting the technical specification for "Manholes" and "Manhole Removal" elsewhere herein.
The CONTRACTOR shall maintain sewage flow during construction of the new manhole. Two
possible ways of accomplishing this are described herein. CONTR.ACTOR may propose
alternate methods for approval by the ENGINEER. First option would be to install a temporary
piping arrangement similar to "Temporary Piping Around Replacernent Manhole During
Construction" construction detail. The second option would be to pump around the manhole
under construction. This would require locating each upstream manhole for each sewer line
flowing into the manhole under construction, plugging each line out of each upstream manhole
to prevent sewage flow out of rnanholes and then installing portable pump at each upstream
manhole, capable of pumping sewage flows entering manhole, in a temporazy discharge line to
first manhole downstream of manhole under construction. If the second option is used, the
CONTRACTOR shall provide full time personnel monitoring the various pumps and piping to
ensure all are operating properly, and discharge hoses shall not obstruct traffic.
Whichever option is chosen to maintain sewage flow, the CONTRACTOR is solely responsible
for the installation, operating, maintenance and removal of any and all pieces of equipment,
materials or products used. Furthermore, the CONTRACTOR shall, at no time, allow the flow of
sewage from new or existing manholes and existing or temporary piping to be discharged into or
onto any structure or surface which has not been installed for the specific purpose of carrying
sewage flows. Such illegal discharge would be grounds for withholding payment.
Manhole Vacuum Testin
All replacement manholes shali be vacuum tested by the CONTRACTOR in the presence of the
OWNER'S representative for sources of infiltration.
1. Manholes shall be tested with all connections (existing and/or proposed) in place.
2. Drop-connections and ring castings sealing connections shall be installed prior to testing.
3. All lift holes and exterior joints shall be plugged with an approved non-shrink grout.
However, no horizontal joints shall be plugged prior to testing.
94
4. The lines entering the manhole shall be temporarily plugged with the plugs braced to
prevent them from being drawn into the manhole. The plugs shall be installed in the lines
beyond drop-connections, sealing connections, etc.
A test head shall be placed at the inside of the top of the frame of the manhole ring with
the cover removed. The • seal shall be inflated/sealed in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendarion.
6. A vacuum of 10 inches of inercury shall be drawn on the inside of the manhole and the
vacuum pump shut off: The manhole shall pass the test if, after 2 minutes and with all
valves closed, the vacuum is at least 9.0 inches of inercury.
7. If the manhole fails the initial test, necessary repairs shall be made with a non-shrink
grout. If the manhole fails the vacuum test for a second time, the CONTRACTOR may
either replace the manhole or use a hydrostatic test which complies with section
217.58(b)(1) of the TCEQ rules. If the manhole is replaced, then it must be vacuum
tested as previously described. If hydrostatic testing is used, then the maximum allowable
leakage is 0.025 gallons per foot of depth (from flowline to the top of the frame) per foot
of diameter per hour. The test will conducted over a one-hour period minimum. The
CONTRACTOR shall furnish accurate measuring devices to quantify the amount of
water requued to refill the manhole at the end of the test period.
Regardless of test results, if a manhole shows evidence of groundwater entering through the
concrete wall, joints, or. floor of the manhole, the CONTRACTOR shall locate the point of
entrance and take whatever steps are necessary to permanently stop the leak, such as drilling,
chipping, or gas-gouging out defective concrete or gasket material, and replacing it with
equipment grout, cement grout or other acceptable waterproofing agents.
