descriptions covering the major items of materials, construction and
workmanship necessary for building and completing the various units
or elements of the project. The specifications are intended to be so
written that only first class materials, workmanship and finish of the
best grade and quality will result. The fact that these specifications
may fail to be so complete as to cover all details will not relieve the
Contractor of full responsibility for providing a completed project of
high quality, first class finish and appearance and satisfactory for
operation, all within the apparent intent'of the plans and specifications.
B. MATERIALS These specifications are intended to be so written
that only materials of the best quality and grade will be furnished.
The fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete
in some detail will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility
for providing materials of high quality. The specifications for
materials set out the minimum standard of quality which the owner believes
necessary to produce a satisfactory project. No substitutions will be
permitted unless the Contractor has received written permission of the
Engfneer to make a substitution for the material which has been specified.
Where the term 'br Equal" or "Or Approved Equal" is used, it is
understood that if a material, product or piece of equipment bearing the
name so sued is furnished, it will be approvable as the particular trade-
name was used for the purpose of establishing a standard of quality
ass acceptable to the Owner. If a product of any other name is proposed for
use, the Engineer's approval thereof must be obtained before the pro-
posed substitute is procured by the Contractor. Wherever the term '+Or
Equal" is used, it is understood to mean "Or Approved Equal".
The manufacturer of each item of material and/or equipment shall
furnish the Owner with a sworn statement that all material furnished by
him under this contract complies with these specifications and all
applicable A.S.T.M., A.S.A., and Federal Specifications as set forth
herein.

ment, or its counterpart,
D. CHANGE OF LOCATION No change in the alignment is contemplated.
However, should a change be necessary due to difficulty in right-of-way,
or other reasons, the Owner reserves the right to make such change.
Unless it can be clearly shown that such change works an undue hardship on
the Contractor, no extra compensation will be allowed the Contractor,
except as provided by unit prices applicable to such changes,
E. WORKMANSHIP These specifications contain detail instructions
and descriptions covering the major items of construction and workman-
ship necessary for building and completing the various units or elements
I
of the project. The specifications are intended to be to written that
only first class workmanship and finish of the best grade and quality will
result. The fact that these specifications may fail to be so complete
as to cover all details will not relieve the Contractor of full responsi-
bility for providing a completed project of high quality, first class
finish and appearance, and satisfactory for operation, all within the appar-
ent intent of the plans and specifications.
NOW F. CLEARING AND GRUBBING The Contractor shall do all clearing and
grubbing necessary for construction operations. All trees, branches, limbs
and roots shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor so as to
leave the right-of-way in a neat and presentable condition. Clearing

placed where required. They shall be set plumb and the valve boxes
shall be directly over the valves. After being correctly positioned,
earth fill shall be carefully tamped around the service box for a dis-
tance of four feet on all sides of the box. Each service box shall
be set in a concrete pad, two feet square and eight inches thick at
ground elevation or as directed by the City of Denton. Fire hydrants
shall be set at such elevations that the connecting pipe and the distri-
bution mains shall have the same depth of cover. Each fire hydrant
shall be placed upon a slab of concrete not less than four inches thick
and fifteen inches square. The backside of the fire hydrant opposite

The excavation shall not advance more than five hundred (500)
feet ahead of the completed backfilled line. Pipe shall be laid in
all trenches that have been opened at the end of each day's work,
unless the contractor secured written permission to do otherwise from
the Engineer.
1. If the bottom of the trench becomes an unstable founda-
tion for the pipe through the neglect of the contractor
to adequately shore or dewater the trench, or if the
undisturbed material'encountered at the grade depth
constitutes, in the opinion of the Engineer, an unstable
foundation for the pipe, the contractor will be required
to remove such unstable material and backfill the trench to
the proper grade with approved compacted gravel.
2. Also, if the trench is inadvertently excavated deeper
than necessary, it shall be backfilled to the proper
grade with approved compacted gravel at the contractor's
expense,
The contractor shall remove any water which collects in the
trenches while water pipes are being laid. In no case shall water be
allowed to run through the pipe. Water encountered shall be dis-
posed of by the contractor in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
The bottoms of the trenches for all pipe shall be carefully
aV and truly graded, formed and lined according to the grades and
dimensions furnished by the Engineer before any pipe is laid therein.
Bell holes shall be excavated by hand.
The contractor shall excavate all trenches, including work
necessary in working around existing pipe lines or other obstructions.
The contractor shall give notice to the owners of any such lines of
obstructions in order that they may have time to take the necessary
precautions for protecting their property. The contractor shall be
repponaible for protecting the owner from any damage from his opera-
tions in such work.
In rock, excavation shall be carried four (4) inches below the
bottom of the pipe and loose earth or gravel, thoroughly tamped, shall
be used for backfilling to grade.
ass After testing and inspection of pipe lines have been finished
on any completed portion of the work the trench may be backfilled.
Backfilling shall be accomplished in compliance with the applicable
portions of these specifications.
L. BACKFILLING Good sound earth from the spoil band shall be
brought up in hand or mechanical tamped layers not exceeding six (6)
inches in thickness of loose fill approximately equal on each side
of the pipe to a height of 12 inches over the top of the pipe. The
tamping shall be done in such a manner as not to disturb the pipe
from its original position. The backfill material may need to be
moistened to facilitate compaction. This determination will be made
by the Engineer.
1. FINAL BACKFILL Final Backfill for trenches on Hwy 24:
The trench shall be brought up in layers not exceeding two and
one-half (2~) foet loose fill, each layer being mechanically
tamped with a hydra-hammer. No rock greater than six (6)
inches in any dire,.tion may be placed in the final backfill.
The last eight (8) inches of the trench shall )e filled with
road gravel. No surfacing will be required.
2. FOAL BACKFILL FOR TRENCHES IN McCORMICK FT (Not to be under
Pavement).
The backfill material may be placed loosely in.the trench,
rounded up over the trench slightly above the original
ground elevation and Lhb trench jetted with water until all
settlement has ceased. After the trench has settled, the
trench shall be filled with dry material and the area bladed,
breaking up all lumps of dirt.
3. FINAL BAWILL FOR OAKLAND STREET - (and those ditchee on McCormick
not covered above.)
The trench shall be brought up on layers not exceeding two and
one-half (2J) feet loose fill, each layer being mechanically
tamped with a hydro hammer. No rock greater than six (6) inches

and uncovtrting of the existing line, the making of cuts in the
existing line, the removal, relocation and/or lowering of existing
lines as required, de-watering of the trench, connecting of the existing
line into the new main and any and all appurtenant work required for a
comp: to connection. Relocated mains or lines shall be laid so that
all valves so re-locsted or installed shall be set vertically.
a,
Only such connections to existing mains as are necessary to
load, tent and sterilise mains under construction with water from
city mains will be permitted prior to the sterilisation of new mains.
All other connections to existing mains from a new main being constructed
shall be made. Contractor will be required to install flanged gate
valves or otherwise plug and block lines, crosses, tees or other fit-
tings installed in the new main to permit testing and sterilization
prior to the making of connections. Such plugs and blocking shall be
adequate to withstand a test pressure of 150 pounds per square inch.
No blocking will be required from flanged gate valves.
Where cut-ins are made immediately adjacent to valves which are
under pressure, the Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to
brace such valves with temporary blocking and bracing which shall be
of ample size and properly placed to prevent movement or blowing off
of any pipe, valves or fittings due to water pressure on the main.
Connections to existing water mains shall be made at the loca-
tions shown, as specified and/or as directed by the Engineer. All
such connections shall be made in a most expeditious and workmanlike
manner to cause the least inconvenience to water customers and to
traffic, and shall be made at night unless otherwise approved by the
Engineer. The detailed schedule of operations for making each connec-
tions shall be approved by the Engineer before any work thereupon is
commenced.
F'
N. CONCRETE BACKING Concrete having compressive strength of not
less than 1500 pounds per square inch shall be used as a cradle or
backing where shown on the plans or where directed by the Engineer.
All materials including aggregates, cement, and water, as well as the
mixing and placing of the concrete, shall be approved by the Engineer.
Bends of 22h degrees and greater, plugs, and all tees, crosses, etc.,
shall be bacns~d with concrete as a thrust backing. Babking shall be
placed between solid ground and the fitting to be anchored; the area
of bearing on pipe and on ground in each instance shall be that
required by the Engineer. The backing shall, unless otherwise directed,
be placed so that the pipe and fitting joints will be accessible for
= repair.
Concrete shall be composed of normal Portland Cement, coarse
aggregate, fine aggregate, and water proportioned and mixed properly
in a concrete mixer. Transit mix concrete will be allowed, Portland
Cement shall be Type I and shall be fully protected tuntil incorpor-
ated in this work. Gravel to be used for coarse aggregate shall con-
sist of clean, hard, durable grains, and shall be free from an excess of
salt or alkali and foreign materials. Concrete shall have a compressive
strength of not less than 1500 pounds per square inch at twenty-eight
(28) days and shall have not less then three (3) seeks of cement nor
more than six and three-fourths (6 3/4) gallons of water per cubic
yard of concrete.
0. TESTING WATER MAINS All pipe lines shall be tested under
pressure of 150 pounds.
Where practicable, pipe lines shall be tested in lengths
between line valves or plugs of no more than 1,500 feet.
Duration of test shall be not less than two (2) hours where
joints are exposed and not less than twenty-four (24) hours where
joints are covered.
All visible leaks at exposed joints and all leaks evident on
the surface and covered shall be recaulked or reassembled and mini-
mized regardless of the total leakage as shown by test.
All pipe, fittings and other materials found to be defective
under teat shall be removed and replaced at the contractor's expense.
I
PERMISSABLE LEAKAGE No pipe installation will be accepted
until the leakage is less than the number of gallons per hour as
determined by the following formula:
ndv
LO p
1,850
Where L equals the allowable leakage in gallons per hour;
N equals the number of joints in the length of pipe line tested;
D equals the nominal diameter of the pipe in inches, and P equals
the average test pressure in pounds per square inch.
Based on this formula the permissible leakage per 100 pipe
joints per hour is as follows:
PERMISSIBLE LEAKAGE PER 100
PIPE SIZE JOINTS IN GALLONS PER HOUR
2" 1,33
4" 2.65
6" 3.97
8" 5,30
10" 6,62
saes 1210 7.94
14" 9.27
16" 10.59
AR1~ IATION FROM PERMISSIBLE LEAKAGE Should any teat of pipe
in place disclose leakage greater than the specified, the contractor
shall at his own expense locate and repair the defective joints
until the leakage is within the specified allowance.
LEAKAGE DEFINED Leakage is defined as the quantity of water
supplied into the newly laid pipe, or any vnlved section of it,
necessary to maintain the specified leakage teat pressure after the
pipe has been filled with water and the air expelled.
P. STERILIZATION OF WATER MAINS Each unit of completed water
line installed shall be thoroughly sterilized with chlorine or hypo-
cholrite before it is placed in operation. The amount of chlorine
applied shall be such as to provide a dosage of not less than fifty
(50) parts per million. The chlorination material shall be introduced
to the water line in such a manner is to distribute the chlorine to
throughout the system. All valves in water lines being sterilized
shall be opened and closed several times during the twenty-four (24)
hour period. Following a contact period of not less than twenty-four
(24) hours, the sterilizing solution shall be discharged from the
pipe and replaced with City Water direct from a City Main, A sample
of water from the sterilized main shall be taken (not through a fire
hydrant) from a suitable tap under the supervision of the Engineer or
his Inspector and submitted to the City Chemist or the State Health
Department for analysis. If the test shows a satisfactory quality of
water, the line so sterilized may then be placed in service. If the
sample shows unsatisfactory quality of water, the process of steriliz-
ation shall be repeated until a satisfactory water is obtained,

SECTION II
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION FOR SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
7-1 Scope of Specifications: The specifications are intended to be
written so that only first class workmanship and finish of the
best grade and quality will result. The fact that the specifi-
cations may fail to be so complete as to cover all details, will
not relieve the contractor of full responsibility for providing
a project of high quality and satisfactory for operations.
ss~ 7-2 Protection of Work: The Contractor will be held responsible for
the care of all work until final completion and acceptance, and
he will be required to make good at his own expense any damage or
injury it may sustain for any cause. He shall assume all risks
from floods and casualties of every description, and make no charge
for damages from such cause.
7-3 Pipe: All pipe shall conform to the sites shown on the plans.

cations C-278-60T and C-200-59T.
7-4 Joints: Sewer pipe joints shall be factory fabricated jointing
connections, using materials having resilient properties. These
properties must conform to all specifications of ASTM, Designation
C-424-60T. This pipe shall be slid strictly in accordance with
a>• the manufacturer's recommendations. The contractor must have
suitable experience in laying this type of joint.
No type joint shall be made when water is in the trench, nor shall
water be allowed to rise around the pipe before joint has set.
The pipe and bells shall be cleaned when laid and shall be so laid
and centered as to form a concentric joint without offsetting the
interior of the pipe.
7-5 Taps: All service lines shall have a minimum grade of one (1)
percent. The service shall be tied into the existing service.
All pipe used for taps shall be Vitrified Clay tile. Joint
shall be as called for in Section 7-5. Applicable Sections shall
apply for the trenching, laying and backfilling of service connections.
7-6 Test and Inspection: No sewer pipe may be backfilled until all

has been made for alignment.
If required by the Engineer, infiltrate tests shall be made by the
contractor in the presence of the Engineer, and the sewer and con-
nections shall not leak under the exterior normal ground water
pressure in excess of a rate of five hundred (500) U. S. gallons
per inch of diameter per day per mile, when field tested by actual
infiltration conditions, or in a manner approved by the Zngineer.
If exfiltration testing is required or necessary, the joints
shall perform equally well except that an allowance of an additional
ten (10) percent of gallonage shall be permitted for each additional
two (2) feet head over a basic two (2) feet minimum internal
head.
7-7 Excavation: The ground shall to excavated in open trenches to the
necessary depth and width unless otherwise specified. No tunnel-
IM ing will be allowed, except by written permission from the City.
The City shall have the right to limit the amount of trench which
V shall be opened at any time in advance of the completed sewer, and
also the amount of trench left unfilled. Not over five hundred (500)
feet of trench shall be opened at one time, and the trench must be
backfilled, street surface replaced and the street cleaned up to a
point five hundred (500) feet back from the most advanced line of
excavation. All materials excavated shall be placed so as to inter-
fere as little as possible with public travel. Streets must be

eight (8) inches on each side of the pipe. The bottom of the trench
under each bell shall be excavated to allow the body of the pipe a
firm hctaring throughout its length and to give ample room for making
the joints. In case a trench be excavated at any place excepting at
joints, below the grades of its bottom, it shall be refilled to
grade with clean sand or loam and throughly compacted.
In all excavation of classified material and in the case of rough
boulders or large gravel, sufficient material shall be removed to
permit a bed of at least six (6) inch thickness of compacted soft
earth to be placed under the pipe.
If the undisturbed material encountered at the grade depth constitutes,
in the opinion of the Engineer, an unstable foundation for the pipe,
the contractor will be required to remove t.uch unstable material:and
backfill the trench to the proper grade with approved compacted gravel.
All excavated material shall in general be placed entirely on one side
of the trench and where this cannot conveniently be done, a clear
space of at least two (2) feet in width shall be left along one side
to permit the grade stakes to be set.
The contractor shall not remove from the line of work any sand, gravel,
or excavated earth, which may be necessary for refilling the trenches,
until the trenches shall have been filled completely, tamped and settled
to proper grade.
The contractor shall remove any water accululated in the trenches
while sewer pipes are being laid. In no case shall water be allowed
to run over the invert, foundation or through the sewer, The dis-
posal of the water shall be in a manner approved by the City.

below the lines of the invert of the sewer at that point and shall
be included in the unit price bid. The flow channels shall be
smoothly formed of the same dimensions as the connection pipes and
with smooth horizontal curved connections where flow lines connect
at right angles. To such an extene as possible, half sewer pipe
shall be used to form the channel. The floor shall be sloped toward
the channels with a fall of one-half (1/2) inch per foot.
asss All brick shall be laid in cement mortar consisting of one part
portland cement and two parts clean building sand. Care shall
be taken to secure watertight construction of the brick or concrete
work where lines pass through the walls.
