be cazefully placed over the top of the p pe so that, when consolidated in six-inch ]ifts, the level of the select
material will be not less than twelve (12 inches above the top of the pipe. Before backfilling the remainder
of the trench, the select material shal] consolidated by jetting and flooding or mechanical tamping, at the
op[ion of the Contractor, to such an ex ent as to secure uniform consolidation. Uniform consolidated shall
be considered to be the equivalent com ac[ion of 90% Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D-698).
It shall be in the full res onsibility of the Contractor to explore the project and subsurface
materials to deternune if the trench ex avation will be suitable for use as select materials and to follow as
closely as possible this specification to sure a good, sound pipeline when completed.
2005.07 BACKFILLING
Backfilling shall include the refilling and consolidating of the fill in trenches and excavations
above the embedment up to the sunou ding ground surface or road grade at crossings. No backfill shall be
placed until the City's representative ha inspected the trench and pipe in place and has authorized the placing
of backfill.
Backfilling shall be don with good earth, sand or gravel and shall be free from rocks latger
than 6 inches in diameter or hard lumpy material. No material of a perishable, spongy or otherwise unsuitable
nature shall be used in backfilling.
After the pipe and em dment have been placed, [he method of backfilling pipe trenches shall
be as follows: The remainder of the t ench shall be filled with material obtained from the spoil bank. The
earth shall then be consolidated by jett' g and flooding until full settlement has been reached. The jetting shall
be accomplished by pumping water t ough a pipe that is slowly inserted vertically into the trench backfill.
The trench shall then be flooded in pu dles untIl no more appreciable absorption of water into the backfill
occurs. The Contractor shall make p ovisions to allow the water used in jetting to freely drain from the
trench and not accumulate in the tren h. Jetting of trench backfill shall be lunited to six (6) feet of cover.
Where the depth of cover over the ipe is six (6) feet or greater, separate jetting operations shall be
accomplished for each six-foot interv 1. Mechanical tamping in six-inch maximum lifts may be used, at the
option of the Contractor, in lieu of th jetting and flooding and backfill.
Flooding or jetting w ll not be allowed under future or existing pavements, or where
consolidation is required above 90% tandazd Proctor Density. Backfill under pavements shall be placed at
minimum 95% Standazd Proctor by h d or mechanical tamping.
Where construction nters the limits of State or County rights-of-way, any specia]
requirements of these agencies with r spect to backfilling shall be complied with.
After the trench has bEen refilled, topsoil shall be replaced to the extent that rock excavated
from the trench will be completely cqvered or removed and the area is returned to its original condition,
except that in cultivated ueas a min"um of 12 inches of top soil shall be replaced. Any settling that occurs
at the surface of the trench shall be r$filled to the extisting grade.

The Contractor shall fully and completely in charge of testing operations, and he may
exclude from the site, during these proedures, all personnel except those doing the testing and one or more
representatives of the Owner which thq Contractor specifically authorizes to witness proceedings and results.
Air testing shall be in general conformance to standard practices outlined in ASTM C-828
and, more specifically, as outlined in these specifications. Procedural moditications shall not be made unless
requested in writing and approved by }he Owner prior to testing.
Air testing shall be maoe after complete installation and backfilling of the line and before any
connections aze made to other sewersi Preliminary testing during construction shall be pernutted if proper
safety precautions are followed by thel Contractor.
In the air testing proce~4ure, the pipeline shall be considered accep[able, when tested at an
average pressure of 3.0 pounds per sq aze inch grater than the average back pressure of any groundwater
that may submerge the pipe, if: (1) th~ total rate of air loss from any section tested in its entirety between
manhole and cleanout structures does not exceed 2.0 cubic feet per minute, or (2) the section under test does
not lose air at a greater rate than 0.003p cubic feet per minute per squaze feet of internal pipe surface, unless
leakage at a different rate is demonstr4ted to be indicative of a tight sewer system in compliance with the
specif3cations.
All pipe shall be tested ~pn such lengths such [hat the total allowable leakage does not exceed
2 cubic feet per minute when comput~d at 0.0030 cubic feet per minute per square foot of internal pipe

After a manhole to mauhole reach of pipe has been backfilled and cleaned, and the pneumatic
plugs have been checked by the abovo procedures, the plugs shall be placed in the line at each manhole and
inflated to 25 psig. Low pressure air ~hall be introduced into this sealed line until the internal air pressure
reaches 4 psig greaterthan the average back-pressure of any ground waterthat may be overthe pipe. At
least two minutes shall be allowed for dhe air pressure to stabilize. The rate of air loss may then be computed
by either the "constant pressure" method or by the "time pressure drop" method.
For the constant pres~ure method, air shall be supplied to the pipe test section at a rate
sufficient to maintain a gauge pressurel of 3.0 psi greater than the average back pressure of any ground water
up to 10 psi maximum pressure. The tate of airflow in cubic feet per minute shall be read d'uectly by means
of a rotometer. The rate of airflow shaIl be corrected for pressure and temperature under standard conditions.
For the time pressure qrop method the air supply shall be disconnected and the test pressure
allowed to decrease to 3.5 psig. The time required for the test pressure drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig shall
be deternvned by means of stopwatct~ and this tune interval shall then be compazed to the required tune to
determine if the rate of air loss is within the allowable. A tabulation of required times is enclosed in these
specifications. '

ped pipe nipple through the manhole walls at an elevation equal to
anhole. On the exterior of the manhole the pipe shall extend at least
,nt or structures. This shall be done at the time the sewer lines are
than three inches into the manhole.
Immediately prior to air testing, the groundwater level shall be determined by removing the
pipe caps at the upstream and downstf{eam manholes, blowing au through the pipe nipples to cleaz them, and
then connecting a clear plastic tube td the nipples. The hoses shall be held vertically and a measurement of
the height of water over the invert ofhe pipe shall be taken afrer the water has stopped rising in the plastic
tubes. A waiting period of at least 15 minutes is required. The average height, in feet, of the groundwater
shall be multiplied by 0.43 to establish the pounds of pressure to be added to standazd air test pressures.
In sanitary sewer sections for which no test nipples have been placed, the groundwater may
be determined by the boring of pilot holes from the ground level to at least 1'-0" below the flowline of the
lowest pipe. To prevent accidental damage to pipe, all pilot holes shall be at least ten feet from any pipe.

such encasement pipe. '
2080.03
(a) Jackine
If the grade of the pipe at the jacking end is below the ground surface, suitable pits or
trenches shall be excavated for the pullpose of conducting the jacking operations and for placing end joints
of the pipe. Wherever end trenches azt cut in the sides of the embankment or beyond it, such work shall be
sheeted securely and braced to prevent earth caving.
i
The boring, jacking or tunneling shall be made in such a manner that it will not weaken or
damage the levee or roadway above. Heavy-duty jacks suitable for forcing the pipe through the embankment
shall be provided. In operating jacks, even pressure shall be applied to all jacks used. A suitable jacking
head, usually of timber, and suitable bracing between jacks and jacking head shall be provided so that
pressure will be applied to the pipe uniformly around the ring of the pipe. A suitable jacking frame or
Item 2080-1
backstop shall be provided. The pipe td be jacked shall be set on guides, properly braced together, to support
the section of the pipe and to direct it in proper line and grade. The whole jacking assembly s}iall be placed
so as to line up with the direction and gtade of the pipe. In general, embankment materials shall be excavated
just ahead of the pipe and materia] removed through the pipe as the pipe is forced through the embankment
with jacks, into the space thus providad.
The Contractor shall fUrnish for review by the City a plan showing his proposed method of
handling, including the design for the aacking head, jacking support or backstop, arrangement and position
of jacks and pipe guides. The review of the plan by the City will not relieve the Contractor from his
responsibility to obtain specified results.
When jacking of pipe iS once begun, the operation shall be carried on without interruption,
insofaz as practicable, to prevent the pipe from becoming firn-ily set in the embankment. Any pipe damaged
in jacking operations shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at his expense. The pits or trenches
excavated to facilitate jacking operatioqts shall be backfilled immediately after the jacking of the pipe has been
completed.
(b) Borin
Boring shall proceed frbm a pit provided for the boring equipment and workman. Excavation
for pits and installation of shoring shall be as outlined under "Jacking". The locations of such pits shall meet
the approval of the Engineer. The ho~es are to be bored mechanically, and the boring shall be done using a
pilot hole. By this method an approxuhately 2-inch pilot hole shall be bored the entire length of the crossing
and shall be checked for line and grade' on the opposite end of the ore from [he work pit. This pilot hole shall
serve as the centerline of the lazger dia{neter hole to be bored. The use of water or other fluids in connection
with the boring operation will be pemutted to the extent to lubricate cuttings. Jetting will not be pernutted.
Overcutting in excess of one inch shall' be remedied by pressure grouting the entire length of the installation.
(c) Tunnelin¢
Where the characteristics of the soil and size of the proposed pipe would make the use of
tunneling more satisfactory than jacking or boring, a tunneling method may be used. The excavation for pits
and the installation of shoring shall be'as outlined under "Jacking". The lining of the tunnel shall be of steel
of sufficient strength to support the overburden. The Contractor shall submit his proposed liner method to
the Engineer for approval. Approval by the Engineer will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for
the adequacy of the liner method. Tlie space between the liner plate and the limits of excavation shall be
pressure grouted or mud jacked.
(d) Joints
If corrugated galvani~ed metal pipe is used, join[s may be made by field bolting or by
connecting bands, whichever is feasible. If reinforced concrete pipe is used, the joints shall be mortared from
the inside after installation. ff steel pipB is used, joints aze to be welded on the outside and inside, if accessible.
(e) General
The drilling of pilot holes for the alignment of pipe prior to its installation by jacking, boring
or tunneling will not be a requiremen[ but may be necessary to maintain grade. The drilling of pilot holes will
Item 2080-2
be considered as incidental work and lhe cost thereof shall be included in such contrac[ pay i[ems as are
provided in the Proposal and contract.
The Contractor shall taike the proper precautions to avoid excavating beyond the limits of
excavation needed to install the pipe. All damages shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor at his
expense. The removal of any obstructibn that may be found to conflict with the placing of this pipe will not
be measured for payment or paid for a5 a sepazate contract pay item. The removal of any such obstruction
will be included in such contract pay itejns as are provided in the Proposal and contract. The Contractor shall
dispose of all surplus materials at his wkn cost and expense. Jacking, boring, or tunneling may be used in lieu
of open cut at the Contractor's discret(oa No additional compensation will be provided.
