Subject: Parcel # Airport
Brian,
With the help of the Assessor's Office, the east part of the airport is Parcel# 2177 134 00 205. Separate hangers
then get separate lot numbers. If you view the parcel maps online via Garee website, GIS Dept., Parcel maps,
general map 2177, the separate buildings will have a parcel number 2177-134-00-hanger lot number. Rando,
Savage, Thomas, and Triplat I believe are different owners. The lot numbers are 001-011. East of this batch of
buildings are lot 478,479,480, and 290. West of this complex is lots 433 and 432. It would appear the lease
parcel number has nothing to do with the lot parcel number .... darn.
I believe for building permit purposes, we can use the 2177 134 00 205 parcel number. I will check with Lisa
Wardefon when the lot parcel numbers are assigned. My guess is that these numbers are not assigned until
after the building permit is applied for. We will need the correct parcel number for the C.O.
Thanks,
Andy

COMMERCIAL OR MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Including
NEW CONSTRUCTION
ADDITIONS
ALTERATIONS
And
MOVED BUILDINGS
In order to understand the scope of the work intended under a permit application and expedite
the issuance of a permit it is important that complete information be provided. When reviewing
a plan and it's discovered that required information has not been provided by the applicant, this
will result in the delay of the permit issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The
owner or contractor shall be required to provide this information before the plan review can
proceed. Other plans that are in line for review may be given attention before the new
information may be reviewed after it has been provided to the Building Department.
Please review this document to determine if you have enough information to design your
project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. Also, please consider
using a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for
construction of your project. Any project with more than ten (10) occupants requires the
plans to be sealed by a Colorado Registered Design Professional.
To provide for a more understandable plan and in order to determine compliance with the
building, plumbing and mechanical codes, applicants are requested to review the following
checklist prior to and during design.
Plans to be included for a Building Permit must be on draft paper at least 18"x 24"" and
drawn to scale.
I
Plans must include a floor plan, a concrete footing and foundation plan, elevations all sides with
decks, balcony steps, hand rails and guard rails, windows and doors, including the finish grade
and original grade line. A section showing in detail, from the bottom of the footing to the top of
the roof, including re-bar, anchor bolts, pressure treated plates , floor joists, wall studs and
spacing, insulation, sheeting, house-rap, (which is required), siding or any approved building
material. Engineered foundations may be required. Check with the Building De partment.
A window schedule. A door schedule. A floor framing plan, a roofing framing plan , roof must
be designed to withstand a 40 pound per square foot up to 7,000 feet in elevation, a 90 M.P.H.
windspeed, wind exposure B or C, and a 36 inch frost depth.
All sheets need to be identified by number and indexed. All of the above requirement s must be
met or your plans will be returned.

or more on propertie s must be show on site plan. (NOTE: Section 106.2) Any site plan
for the placement of any portion of a structure within 50 ft. of a property line and not
within a previously surveyed building envelope on a subdivision final plat shall be
prepared by a licensed s urveyor and have the s urveyors signature and profes sional stamp
on the drawing. Any structure to be built within a building envelope of a lot shown on a
recorded subdivision plat, shall include a copy of the building envelope as it is shown on
the fi ~L with the proposed structure located within th e envelope.

Skye Gryphon Hangar
Garfield County Airport, East side
Engineering Department Review of the proposed grading permit
I have reviewed the above-mentioned roadway design plans per Garfield County grading permit requirement.
and Appendix J of the 2003 IBC. I have the following comments and recommendations for the permit applicant.
1. General comments
1.1. Maximum fill slopes shall be 3:1 without slope stabilization for erosion control. Install erosion control
blankets on all slopes steeper than 3:1 to allow for proper re-vegetation.
1.2. Install, maintain, and monitor all BMP'S per your NPDES permit. Periodic site visits by the county will be
conducted to observe their installations.
1.3. Grading plan appears to comply with standards and regulations.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Jeff T Nelson
Assistant County Engineer

Reminder from our phone conference today, BOCC does not own the metal. The entity that is leasing owns the
hangar. Be careful because some of the original entities or individuals have assigned the leases.
BOCC should NOT be on hangar CO's. On the new ad min building, yes.

1.00 CHANGES IN CONTRACT PRICE AND CONTRACT TIME
It is the intent of the Contract Documents that all payment for services of the Contractor shall
be based on the contract prices, except as modified by Change Order. No work shall be
performed by the Contractor for which he intends to request a change in the Contract Price
until such time as a Change Order has been executed for the work, unless an emergency
condition exists requiring the Contractor to perform such work prior to execution of a
Change Order. The Owner shall determine when an emergency condition exists. If such an
emergency condition exists, then the Contractor shall keep accurate records of all labor,
materials and equipment employed on such emergency work. A representative of the
Engineer or Owner shall validate all records of such work as near the time of the emergency
work as possible.
If the Contractor is required by the Engineer or Owner to perform work for which the
Contractor feels additional compensation is due, but a Change Order is not executed, then the
Contractor shall keep accurate records of all labor, materials and equipment employed for
such work. All records shall be validated by a representative of the Engineer or Owner as the
work in question proceeds. The decision as to the validity of such additional compensation
shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 11 of the General Conditions.
No claim for change in the Contract Price will be considered, except due to emergency
conditions, unless the Contractor has first notified the Owner or Engineer of his intent to
request a change in the Contract Price and the records oflabor, materials and equipment are
validated by a representative of the Owner or Engineer.

PART 2-MATERIALS
2.0 I Embankment Materials
The following is taken from the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction, State Department of Highways, Division of Highways, State of Colorado,
Section 203.03:
Embankment material shall consist of approved material acquired from excavations,
hauled and placed in embankments. Approval of the embankment material will be
contingent on the material having a resistance value when tested by the Hveem
Stabilometer, or equivalent resilient modulus value, of at least that specified by the
Contract, and a maximum dry density of not less than 90 pounds per cubic foot. The
material must be stable when tested in accordance with Colorado Procedure L-31 02.
Rock Fill shall consist of sound, durable stones, boulders, or broken rock not less than six
inches in least dimension. At least 50 percent of the rock used shall have a volume of
two cubic feet or more, as determined by physical or visual measurement. Claystone or
soil-like nondurable shale, as defined by Colorado Procedure 26, shall not be treated as
sound rock and shall be broken, placed, and compacted as embankment material.
PART 3-EXECUTION
3.01 Construction Requirements
Prior to beginning excavation and embankment operations in any area, all necessary
clearing, grubbing and stripping in that area shall have been performed. The excavation
and embankment for roadway, intersections, and entrances shall be made to the
02200-4
designated alignment, grade, and cross section. Side slopes, cuts and fills shall be
finished to a reasonably smooth and uniform surface that will merge with the adjacent
terrain without variations readily discernible from the road. All finished slopes shall not
be steeper than three horizontal feet over one vertical foot unless indicated otherwise on
the plans. Finishing by hand methods will not be required, except that all brush, weeds,
excess mud and silt, or other debris shall be removed from culverts and channels. Areas
disturbed by the contractor outside the limits of construction shall be restored at the
contractor's expense to a condition similar to that prior to construction operations.
During construction, roadways shall be maintained by the contractor in such condition
that they will be passable and well drained at all times. Roadway ditches, channel chang-
es, inlet and outlet ditches, and any other ditches in connection with the roadway shall be
cut and maintained to the required cross section. All drainage work shall be performed in
proper sequence with other operations. All ditches and channels shall be kept free of
debris or other obstructions.
Obliteration of old roads shall be performed in areas shown on the plans and shall include
all grading operations necessary to incorporate the old road into the work. The oblit-
eration shall provide a pleasing appearance. The earthwork for obliteration, including the
obliteration of bituminous surfacing, will be paid for as roadway excavation, unless
otherwise provided in the contract.
Embankment construction shall consist of constructing roadway embankments, including
preparation of the areas upon which they are to be placed, constructing dikes and berms,
placing and compacting approved materials within roadway areas where unsuitable
material has been removed, and placing and compacting of embankment material in
holes, pits, and other depressions within the roadway area. Only approved materials free
of trees, stumps, rubbish, and any other deleterious materials shall be used in the
construction of embankments and backfills.
No embankment shall be built of frozen material nor shall embankment material be
placed on frost layers. Frozen material, either foundation soil, or partially completed
embankment shall be removed before placing material for the embankment. The removal
of frozen material from the foundation of an embankment, or from any layer of the
embankment, and the replacement with satisfactory material shall be at the expense of the
contractor.
When embankment is to be placed on hillsides or when new embankment is to be
constructed against existing embankments, the existing slopes that are steeper than 6 to 1
when measured at right angle to the roadway shall be continuously benched in not less
than 12-inch rises over those areas where it is required as the work is brought up in
layers. Benching shall be of sufficient width to permit placing and compacting
operations. Each horizontal cut shall begin at the intersection of the ground line and the
vertical side of the previous bench. Existing slopes shall also be stepped to prevent any
02200-5
wedging action of the embankment against structures. No direct payment will be made
for the material thus cut out nor for its compaction along with the new embankment
material.
Where an embankment is to be made, all sod and organic material shall be removed and
the surface completely broken up by plowing, scarifYing, or stepping to a minimum depth
of 8 inches. This area shall be compacted in the same manner as that required for the
embankment placed on the area.
Embankment Material shall be placed in layers not exceeding 8 inches (loose
measurement) and shall be compacted as specified before the next layer is placed. The
layers shall be placed approximately parallel to both the proposed profile grade and to the
finished roadbed. Effective spreading equipment shall be used on each lift to obtain
uniform thickness prior to compacting. Continuous leveling and manipulating will be
required during compacting operations. Construction equipment shall be routed
uniformly over the entire surface of each layer.
Cut compaction shall be performed in all cut sections and under embankments ofless
than 18 inches in height to insure having 18 inches of material of the required moisture
and density below the top of the finished subgrade. A surface parallel to the pavement
shall be temporarily exposed for the full width of the roadway. The exposed material
shall be scarified and compacted to a depth of 8 inches to not less than the specified
density. No direct payment will be made for the material so handled and compacted.
Contractor shall remove all excess excavation material from the site. The disposal of the
material will be at the Contractor's expense. The Owner shall have the option to have the
excess material dumped elsewhere onsite at no extra cost to the Owner.
3.02 Surface Restoration
All existing ground surfaces disturbed or damaged during construction shall be restored
to a condition equal to or better than the condition prior to construction. All restoration
work shall be considered part of excavation and backfill.
All roadways shall be restored to original condition using the same types of material
removed. The minimum asphalt pavement replacement section shall consist of3" depth
of asphalt pavement and 8" depth of Class 6 aggregate base course material. Gravel
roadways shall consist of an 8" depth of Class 6 aggregate base course. The minimum
concrete pavement section shall consist of 6" depth of concrete on 6" depth of Class 6
aggregate base course.
3.03 Qualitv Control
02200-6
Compaction testing shall be performed as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall
assist and fully cooperate with the testing operations. The Contractor shall excavate as
directed by the Engineer to allow any necessary testing. The Contractor shall backfill all
test excavations in accordance with the specified compaction requirements at the
Contractor's own expense.
The moisture/density curve shall be developed for the different soil types encountered in
accordance with ASTM 0698 or AASHTO T99. The field compaction tests will be
performed using a nuclear density method in accordance with ASTM 02922. The
frequency of testing shall be a minimum of one density test for each 7,500 square foot of
each compacted lift surface area and as directed by the Engineer.
If the material placed by the Contractor fails the compaction requirements, the Contractor
shall excavate, backfill and recompact all failed areas as directed by the Engineer. All
retesting shall be paid for at the Contractor's expense and shall be performed by a soils
testing firm approved by the Engineer.
Proof rolling with a heavy rubber tired roller will be required as designated on the plans
or when ordered by the Engineer. Proof rolling shall be done after specified compaction
has been obtained. Areas found to be weak and those areas that failed shall be ripped,
scarified, and wetted if necessary and recompacted to the requirements for density and
moisture at the Contractor's expense from the Engineer.
Comparable heavy rubber tired rolling equipment that does not conform to the above
requirements may be used only after written approval has been obtained from the
Engineer.

open trench permitted shall be in accordance with requirements of the Engineer.
B. Existing Conditions
02221-2
Existing Property-All existing property adjacent to the work shall be properly protected
from any damage by the Contractor. The Contractor, as determined by the Engineer,
shall restore all adjacent property, including vegetation, landscaping and existing
improvements disturbed or damaged during the performance of the work to original or
better condition. The Contractor shall be liable for any damage to adjacent property and
shall be responsible for all cost resulting from repairs.
Existing I!tilities-The underground utilities, as noted on the plans, are from available
information as established from actual field observations and study of existing records.
These utilities are noted for information of Bidders and are believed to be correct;
however, the Contractor shall take sole responsibility for damage to any utility line
encountered whether or not located on the plans, as well as paying for the cost of fines
and/or revenue lost by a utility company resulting from outages. The Contractor shall
notifY the utility companies for field locations before the start of construction.
No change in the Contract Price will be allowed for deflecting utilities up or down to
clear a proposed improvement if such deflection can be accomplished by retrenching the
utility within l 0' ofthe proposed improvement. Similarly, no change in the Contract
Price will be allowed for supporting utilities along the trench wall when such utilities
may remain in essentially their current location.
Should the Contractor encounter a utility conflict that required relocation, the Contractor
shall inform the Engineer prior to relocating the utility. Once the Owner and Engineer

regulations governing this class of work. Any damage to persons or property resulting
from blasting operations shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor and his surety.
J. Watering: Water for compacting embankments, constructing subgrade and for
controlling dust caused from grading operations or equipment traffic shall be applied as
required by the specifications or as directed by the Engineer. Watering shall consist of
providing a water supply sufficient for the needs of the project and the hauling and
applying of all water required.
The Contractor shall make all arrangements for and provide all necessary water for his
construction operations. If the Contractor purchases water from a water utility or obtains
water from a fire hydrant on or near the project, he shall make all arrangements at his
02221 - 4
own expense and payment made directly to the water utility as agreed upon. The
Contractor shall use only those hydrants designated by the water utility in charge of water
distribution and in strict accordance with its requirements for hydrant use. The
Contractor shall furnish all hoses, connections, wrenches, valves and tools that may be
necessary to meet the requirements of the water utility pertaining to hydrant use. Use of
pipe wrench for valving a hydrant will not be permitted. The cost of watering will be
included in the price bid for the construction operation to which such watering is
incidental or appurtenant, unless it is specifically called out in the Bid Schedule.
3 03 I Jse of Excavated Material
Suitable material (as approved in writing by the Engineer) from the required excavation may be
used for trench backfill or for other required purposes as directed by the Engineer.
Unsuitable or excess materials removed in excavation shall be wasted or mounded neatly
over the pipe or spread evenly over the area adjacent to the pipe trench, except in cases
where mounding would disrupt the normal use of the area. In these cases, such materials
shall be removed to disposal areas selected by the Contractor and approved by the Engi-
neer.
3 04 Protection of Adjacent Property
The Contractor shall exercise care in excavating the trench and maintaining it so that no damage
will occur to any foundation, structure, pole line, pipeline or other facility because of
slough of slopes or from any other cause. If, as result of the excavation, there is

PART 3 -INSTALLATION
3.01 Inspection
Examine the areas and conditions under which work of this Section
will be performed. Correct conditions detrimental to the
proper and timely completion of the work. Do not proceed
until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 Planting
A.Time of Planting: The Contractor shall start his planting
when other divisions of this work, including placing of
topsoil to finished grade, have progressed sufficiently
to permit planting. Thereafter, planting operations
shall be conducted under favorable weather conditions
during the next season or seasons which are normal for
such work as determined by accepted practice in the
locality of the project. At the Contractor's option
and full responsibility, planting operations may be
02480 - 5
conducted under unseasonable conditions without
additional compensation.
B.Layout: Planting shall be located wherever any existing
landscaping has been disturbed by the construction
activity. Prior to the excavation of planting areas or
plant pits, or placing tree stakes, the Contractor
shall ascertain the location of all utility lines,
electric cable, sprinkling systems and conduits so that
proper precautions may be taken not to disturb or
damage any subsurface improvements. Should obstruc-
tions be found the Contractor shall promptly notify the
Engineer who will arrange to relocate the plant materi-
al. Necessary adjustments shall be approved by the
Engineer.
C.Inspection: No plant material shall be planted by the
Contractor until it is inspected and approved by the
Engineer or his representative at the site of the
project. The Engineer or his representative shall be
the sole judge of the quality and acceptability of the
materials. All rejected material shall be immediately
removed from the site and replaced with acceptable
material at no additional cost to the Owner.
No planting holes shall be dug until the proposed locations have
been staked on the ground by the Contractor, and until
such locations have been approved by the Engineer.
3.03 Planting (Trees)
A.Trees: All trees shall be planted in holes at least two feet
greater in diameter than their ball of earth or spread
of roots. The depth of the holes shall be at least two
feet, and as much greater as is necessary to
accommodate the roots, so that when the tree is placed
therein it will not be necessary to raise or lower it
to bring it to the proper finished grade. Topsoil
shall be tamped under the edges of balled trees after
inspection by the Construction superintendent. Topsoil
shall be backfilled in layers of not over nine inches
in depth and each layer watered sufficiently to settle
before the next layer is put in place. Enough topsoil
shall be used to bring the surface to finished grade
when settled. A slight "saucer" with a minimum of 4"
lip shall be formed around each tree to hold additional
water.
B.Setting Plants: Each plant shall be planted in an individual
hole as specified for trees, shrubs, and vines. All
holes shall be dug with straight vertical sides and
crowned bottoms, or as directed. All plants shall be
02480 -6
set to ultimate finished grade, so that they will be
left in the same relation to the surrounding grade as
they have stood before being moved. No filling will be
permitted around trunks or sterns. All ropes, wire,
staves, etc., shall be removed from sides and top of
ball and removed from hole before filling in, unless
otherwise directed by the Construction Superintendent.
Burlap shall be properly cut and removed from sides of
ball. When depth is specified, it shall be understood
as meaning depth below finished grade. A layer of
topsoil six inches thick shall be applied on the bottom
of each hole and then lightly tamped. Excess
excavation from all holes shall be removed from the
site.
C.Backfilling of Planting Pits: Use planting mixture defined in
Part 2.05. Existing subsoil to be removed from the
site by the Contractor. Planting pits and beds shall
be backfilled carefully to fill all voids and to avoid
breaking or bruising roots. Tamp backfill firm to
prevent settlement. When pit is nearly filled, water
thoroughly and allow water to soak away. If settling
of the backfill occurs after watering, add more
backfill to bring to level.
D.Guying: All deciduous trees over seven feet (7') in height,
and all evergreens over five feet (5') shall,
immediately after setting to proper grade, be guyed
with three sets of two strands of No. 12 gauge mallea-
ble galvanized iron, in tripod fashion.
Wires shall not come in direct contact with the tree, but shall
be covered with rubber hose at points of contact.
Wires shall be fastened in such a manner as to avoid
pulling crotches apart. Stakes shall be of fence posts
painted flat black, or other material approved by the
Construction superintendent. Wire shall be fastened to
stake at ground line. Stakes shall not be driven where
utility lines are within five feet of finished grade,
but shall be placed by digging holes for them. White
cloth flags shall be hung on each wire. All guying
shall be done to the satisfaction of the Construction
Superintendent. All guy stakes shall be placed outside
the perimeter of planting pits.
E.Wrapping: Immediately after planting the trunks of all trees
shall be wrapped spirally in a neat manner to the
height of the first branches, or as directed, with two
thicknesses of crinkled paper cemented together with
bituminous material (or approved cloth serving the same
purpose) in strips 4 inches (4") wide to the satisfac-
tion of the Construction Superintendent. Wrapping
02480 -
shall be securely tied with lightly tarred medium or
coarse sisal yarn twine. Wrapping shall occur in late
fall (November) and shall be removed by April 1 of the
following springs.

F.Mulching: After planting has been approved by the Construction
Superintendent a layer of pine chipper bark or mulch
three inches (3") thick shall be placed on the finished
grade about all plants. The boundaries of this mulch
shall be the rim of the planting saucer, except in mass
plantings of shrubs. The boundaries of mulch in these
areas shall be the edge of the planting bed.
G.Watering: Thoroughly water each plant immediately following
planting.
H.Pruning and Repair: All plants shall be neatly pruned and/or
clipped to preserve the natural character of the
plants, and in a manner appropriate to the particular
requirements of each plant, and to the satisfaction of
the Engineer. No plants shall be pruned or clipped
prior to delivery except with the permission of the
Engineer. Broken or badly bruised branches shall be
removed with a clean cut. All pruning shall be done
with sharp tools in accordance with instructions of the
Engineer. Pruning cuts 2" in diameter or larger shall
be painted over with approved tree paint. All acciden-
tal damage to trees and shrubs occurring during the
course of planting operations, which is not so great as
to necessitate removal of a branch or replacement of a
plant, shall promptly be treated as required in accor-
dance with recognized horticultural practices and the
instruction of the Engineer.
3.04 Tilling, Grading and Topsoil Spreading
A.Remove all rocks 3" or larger which may remain from rough
grading operations.
B. Thoroughly scarify the subsoil.
C.Spread Mountain Peat over the surface at the minimum rate of
two (2} cubic yards per one thousand (1000) square
feet.

inches over all areas not covered by paving or
concrete.
E.Spread commercial fertilizer at the rate of 450 lb. per acre.
02480 -
F.Mix peat, topsoil and fertilizer by whatever means is
appropriate for the situation, in order to provide a
suitable bed for the seed.
G.After the topsoil has been spread, graded and mixed as
required, the surface shall be cleared of all stones
and other objects larger than two (2) inches in thick-
ness or diameter, and all objects that might be a
hindrance to seeding.

concrete not less than 8" thick and 18" by24" in plan. The back of the
hydrant, opposite the pipe connection, shall be properly thrust blocked. If
the character of the soil is such that in the opinion of the Engineer, the
hydrant cannot be properly thrust blocked, bridle rods and rod collars of
not less than 3/4" stock protected by a coat of acid-resisting paint shall be
used. Not less than 1/3 cubic yard of crushed rock shall be placed
around the hydrant's drain outlet to insure proper drainage. The backfill
around hydrants shall be thoroughly compacted to the grade line in a
satisfactory manner. Hydrants and valves shall have the interiors cleaned
of all foreign matter before installation. Stuffing boxes shall be tightened

02713-8
C. Hydrostatic Test and Leakage Test: After the completion of the main
installation the line shall be tested for integrity under pressure and for
allowable leakage. With the air being vented the pipe shall be slowly
filled with water and tested. All pipes shall be tested at a pressure of 150
psi or 1.5 times working pressure, whichever is greater, at the lowest
elevation of the pipe line unless otherwise designated by the Engineer.
The duration of each pressure test shall be at least two continuous hours.
The pressure in the line shall not vary by more than 5 psi during the 2-hour
test. All water used in testing the pipe lines shall be taken from the
existing system.
The specified test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected
to the pipe in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. The contractor shall
furnish all necessary labor and equipment to perform the test. Cracks or
defective, pipe, fittings, valves or hydrants disclosed in the pressure test
shall be replaced by the contractor with sound material, and the test shall
be repeated until the test results are satisfactory. The leakage allowable is
as follows:
L = (SxDx ..JP)/133,200
S = Length of pipe in feet
D =Diameter in inches
P = Pressure in pounds per
square inch
L = Leakage in gallons/hour
The test shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of
AWWA C 600 for mechanical joint or push joint cast iron pipe.
Should any test of combined sections or of individual sections show
leakage greater than the specified limit, the contractor shall locate and
repair the defective joints and retest until the leakage is within the
specified limits.
When testing against metal seated valves, an additional leakage per closed
valve of0.0078 gallhr/in of nominal valve size shall be allowed. When
hydrants are in the test section, the test shall be made against the closed
hydrant.
3.04 Disinfection of Water Systems

may be used, and shall conform to A WW A B300.
B. Method: Flushing and disinfection of lines shall be accomplished in
accordance with the requirements of the Colorado Department of Health
and AWWA C601. Chlorine dosage shall be at least 50 parts per million,
and shall be retained in the line at least 24 hours, after which time the
residual at the end of the line and at other representative points in the line
shall be at least 25 parts per million. If the residual at the end of 24 hours
is less than 25 parts per million, the entire operation shall be repeated. All
valves in the lines being disinfected shall be opened and closed several
times during the contact period. After completion of disinfection, the
system shall be flushed with clean water until the residual chlorine content
is not greater than I part per million. After final flushing, and before the
water main is placed in service, a sample shall be collected from the end of
the line and tested for bacteriologic quality and shall show the absence of
coliform organisms. If the initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory
samples, disinfection shall be repeated until satisfactory samples have
been obtained. The disinfection and chlorine residual test shall meet with
the approval of the Health Department Sanitarian.
3.05 Backfilling
The contractor shall not backfill or otherwise cover the pipe joints until the tests
described above have been completed and the Engineer has had an opportunity to
inspect each joint. Pipe joints covered up without the written approval of the
Engineer may have to be dug up again at the contractor's expense. All backfilling
shall be done in accordance with the section ofthese specifications entitled
"Excavation, Trenching and Backfilling for Pipe Lines".
3.06 Cleanup
Upon completion of installation of the water mains and appurtenances, all debris
and surplus materials shall be removed from the site in order to leave the area in a
condition as near equal to the previously existing condition as feasible. Final
payment will not be made until the cleanup is acceptable to the Engineer.

PART 3-EXECUTION
3.01 Pipe Installation
A. Handling and Storage of Plastic Pipe: Pipe material is to be stored on a flat sur-
face so as to support the pipe barrel evenly. Individual lengths should not be
stacked in piles any higher than three feet. If the pipe is to be stored outside for
periods longer than thirty days, the pipe shall be covered to protect it from
prolonged exposure to the sun's rays. The pipe shall be covered with canvas, or
other opaque material. Clear plastic or other clear material shall not be used.
Provision shall be made for air circulation under the cover.
Handling ofthe pipe shall be conducted as recommended by the manufacturer.
Care is to be exercised to prevent damage to the pipe in loading and unloading.
B. Pipelaying: Gravity sewers shall be constructed in conformity with this section of
the Specifications and manufacturer's recommendations where applicable.
Excavation and backfill shall conform to specifications for "Excavation,
Trenching and Backfilling for Pipelines," Section 02221. Any section of the
sewer that is found defective in material, alignment, grade or joints before accep-
tance shall be corrected to the satisfaction of the Engineer, at no additional cost to
the Owner.
The bottom ofthe trench shall be shaped to give substantially uniform
circumferential support to the lower fourth of each pipe. Bell holes shall be dug at
eachjoint to insure that each section of pipe rests on the barrel and not on the bell.
Pipelaying shall proceed upgrade with the spigot ends pointing in the direction of
the flow. Each pipe shall be laid true to line and grade in such a marmer as to
form a close concentric joint with the adjoining pipe and to prevent sudden offsets
of the flow line. As the work progresses, the interior of the sewer shall be cleared
of all dirt of every description. If the maximum width of the trench at the top of
the pipe is exceeded for any reason other than by order of the Engineer, the
Contractor shall install, at his own costs, bedding as may be required by the
Engineer to support the added load of the backfill. Trenches shall be kept free
from water until pipelaying is completed and pipe shall not be laid when the
02722 - 5
conditions of the trench or the weather is unsuitable for such work. No sewer pipe
shall be covered until all joints have been inspected by the Engineer.
The assembly ofthe joints shall be such as to provide tolerance for expansion or
contraction due to changes of temperature in the pipe.
C. Bedding for PVC Sewer
I. Class "B" -Unless otherwise designated by the Engineer, the bedding shall
be Class "B."
Select imported granular bedding material shall be used. The bedding
material shall be placed beneath the pipe (1/4 O.D. of pipe) properly
placed and tamped on either side and up to the spring line of the pipe. The
select material shall be hand-placed and lightly tamped np to 12" over the
pipe.
A minimum of95% maximum density in the pipe zone shall be achieved
to maintain Class "B" bedding. (See Typical Detail for Class "B"
bedding). The remaining trench shall be backfilled as specified in Section
02221 of these Specifications.
Compaction requirements shall be the same as for Class "C" bedding.
2. Class "C" -This class of bedding will only be acceptable where specifical-
ly approved by the Engineer. Class "C" bedding shall have the shaped
bottom or granular bedding as called for. Suitable trench materials can
normally be used for bedding. Where otherwise designated, select import-
ed bedding material shall be provided and used beneath the pipe (2"
minimum). The normal trench bedding material shall be properly hand-
placed and tamped on either side of the pipe up to the spring line.
The remaining bedding material shall be hand-placed and lightly tamped
up to 12 inches over the pipe. A minimum of95% maximum density in
the pipe zone as determined by AASHO T -99 shall be achieved to
maintain Class "C" bedding. (See Typical Detail for Class "C" bedding).
The remaining trench shall be backfilled as called for in Section 02221 of
these Specifications.
Acceptable native material for Class "C" bedding shall not contain stones
unable to pass the 3/4" sieve. Compaction tests will be taken along the
sewer trench at 300 foot maximum intervals and at locations designated by
the Engineer or District Inspector.
02722 - 6
D. Alignment
I. Horizontal and Vertical -The horizontal alignment shall be straight
between manholes with the pipe located along the centerline of the trench
for uniform trench loading on the pipe. Deflections between manholes
will not be permitted. The vertical alignment between manholes shall
consist of straight grades. Parabolic curves or abrupt changes in grades
will not be permitted in the vertical alignment between manholes.
E. Separation of Water and Sewer Mains
I. Parallel Installation
a. Normal conditions--whenever possible, water mains should be at
least ten feet horizontally from any sanitary sewer or sewer
manhole; the distance should be measured edge-to-edge.
b. Unusual conditions--when local conditions prevent a horizontal
separation of ten feet, a water main may be closer to a sanitary
sewer provided that:
(I) It is laid in a separate trench.
(2) The elevation ofthe crown of the sewer is at least 18 inches
below the invert of the water main. Such separation should
be of undisturbed or compacted earth.
(3) Where this vertical separation cannot be obtained, the
sewer should be constructed of materials and with joints
that are equivalent to water main standards of construction.
2. Crossings
a. Normal conditions--whenever possible, water mains crossing over
house sewers, or sanitary sewers should be laid to provide a
separation of at least 18 inches between the invert of the pressure
water main and the crown ofthe sewer.
b. Unusual conditions--when local conditions prevent a vertical
separation as described above, the following construction should
be used:
02722 - 7
(1) Sewer passing over or less than 18 inches under water
mains should be constructed or modified using one of the
following methods:
(a) One length of pipe at least 18 feet long centered
over or under the water main. Joints between the
sewer pipe and the special pipe should be encased in
a concrete collar at least 6 inches thick and
extending at least 6 inches either side ofthe joint.
(2) Water mains passing under sewers should, in addition, be
protected by providing:
(a) A vertical separation of at least 18 inches between
the invert of the sewer and the crown of the water
main.
(b) Adequate structural support for the sewer to prevent
excessive deflection of joints and settling on and
breaking the water mains.
F. Sanitary Sewer Services: Connection to sewer main shall be as shown on the
drawings with fittings manufactured to be compatible with the type of pipe used
for the sewer main.
Backfill under service line shall be well compacted to support the service line and
to prevent earth settlement causing the transmission of excessive earth loading to
the crown of the main pipe via the service line.
Bends will not be allowed in sewer services without the approval of the Engineer
and the local authority having jurisdiction.
G. Sanitary Sewer Sub-Drains: Where it becomes necessary to drain high ground
water along the sewer line, tile subdrains or gravel subdrains shall be provided for
sewer sections called for on the drawings or designated by the Engineer. Unless
otherwise designated, the minimum size tile subdrain shall be 4 inches and shall
consist of perforated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. The pipe used shall be
capable of withstanding maximum trench loads. Where open end joints are pro-
vided, the joints shall have the top half covered with construction felt paper to
prevent silt filling the drain. The tile subdrain shall be completely bedded in
select granular bedding material of 3/4 inch dimension as shown on the detail.
02722 - 8
Where called for, gravel subdrain shall consist of 3/4 granular material only.
Unless otherwise designated, the gravel subdrain shall consist of a layer of granu-
lar material, a minimum of 6 inches thick below the sanitary sewer.
Where called for, the granular material shall be covered with a minimum 6 mil
thick polyethylene ("Vis Queen") sheet or approved filter fabric to prevent silting
of the subdrain.
In all cases, a positive outfall shall be provided for the subdrain with an animal
screen on the outlet.
3.02 Manhole Construction
A. Standard Manholes: Manholes shall be constructed as detailed and at the location
indicated on the drawings and established by the Engineer. The invert channels
shall be smooth and semicircular in shape conforming to the inside of the adjacent
sewer section. Changes in direction of flow shall be made with a smooth curve
passing through the center of the manhole base. The manhole shall be constructed
in such a manner that the center of the manhole will coincide with the intersection
of the projected centerlines of the inlet and outlet pipes. Changes in size and
grade of the channels shall be made gradually and evenly. The floor of the
manhole outside the channels shall be smooth and shall slope upward from the
spring line of the pipe to the wall of the manhole at not less than one inch (1 ")per
foot, nor more than two inches (2") per foot.
The invert and manhole bottom shall normally be cast in place concrete. Precast
manhole bottoms will not be permitted.
B. Manholes With Outside Drop: Drop manholes shall be constructed essentially in
the same manner as specified for standard manholes, and all applicable require-
ments for manholes shall be adhered to. The outside drop shall be constructed
where the difference between the incoming and outgoing invert is greater than 18
inches. The entering pipe (outside drop) shall be carefully placed, aligned, and
supported until the backfill around it has been placed and consolidated. The con-
crete encasement around the entering pipe shall be formed and shall be anchored
to the manhole at 24" on center for drops over 4 feet high.
The outside drop shall be constructed according to the detail on the drawings.
C. Manhole Couplings for PVC Sewer: To allow for expansion and contraction of
the PVC sewer at the interface of the manhole structure, special manhole cou-
plings with rubber gaskets (equal to the type manufactured by Johns-Manville)
shall be grouted into the manhole.
02722 - 9
In lieu ofthe special coupling, a rubber "0" ring may be stretched over the PVC
sewer and grouted in place at the centerline of the manhole wall. The rubber
gasket or "0" ring shall be used to prevent infiltration of ground water at the
manhole.
D. Subgrade Preparation: The subgrade beneath manholes shall be adequate to
support the manhole and any superimposed and highway loads transmitted by the
manhole. Where the sub grade does not have adequate bearing strength, the
foundation for the manhole shall be overexcavated and filled with acceptable
granular base to a depth designated by the Engineer. Where rock is encountered it
shall be removed to a depth to accommodate the manhole base and a minimum of
2 inches aggregate base course shall be placed on the rock prior to pouring the
manhole base.
E. Backfill Around Manholes: Backfill around manholes shall be evenly placed and
tamped to provide 95% maximum soil density. Backfill materials shall be
suitable excavated trench material or aggregate base course material as designated
by the Engineer.
Care shall be taken in backfilling near the sewer pipe connection to the manhole
in order to prevent shearing of the pipe at the manhole wall.
F. Cleanouts: Cleanouts, where called for on the drawings, shall be constructed of
the same basic material as the sewer line proper. A wye fitting of the appropriate
size shall be used at the intersection of the sewer line. A tight fitting cap shall be
provided on the cleanout at the ground surface. The backfill around the riser shall
be tamped to prevent any displacement of the riser.
Unless otherwise specified, the cleanout shall be constructed according to the
Standard Detail on the drawings.
3.03 Testing and Infiltration
The Contractor shall cooperate with the Engineer and the Owner in the performance of
testing the sewer system for leakage and/or infiltration on any sections of the sewer
chosen by the Engineer, either before or after backfilling, as directed.
The Contractor shall provide such temporary dams, plugs, gages, and/or weirs, in
designated manholes, and the separate disposal of flow from pipe or trench upstream
from the section being tested as directed by the Engineer.
A. Infiltration Testing: The total seepage and infiltration of ground water for PVC
sewer as determined by tests shall not exceed a rate of 100 gallons per day, per
mile, per inch diameter of pipe. If the performed test results indicate that seepage
02722 -10
and/or infiltration exceed the specified amount, the Contractor shall, at his own
expense, make all corrections and retest to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Any one individual section may exceed the allowable rate by one and one-half
times if the total length between manholes does not exceed the above described
seepage and infiltration rate. The program oftesting shall be determined by the
Engineer. All testing shall be in accordance with the required standards and
procedures.
B. Leakage Test: When required by the Engineer, sewer lines shall be tested using a
low pressure air test. Only after the sanitary sewers, including appurtenances and
sanitary laterals have been installed, backfilled and cleaned, shall the Contractor
proceed with an air test on the installed facilities.
1. Low Pressure Air Test Procedures-The section of sewer line to be tested
should be flushed and cleaned prior to conducting the low pressure air test.
This serves to clean out any debris, wet the pipe, and produce more
consistent results. Isolate the section of sewer line to be tested by means
of inflatable stopper or other suitable test plugs. One of the plugs should
have an inlet tap, or other provision for connecting a hose to a portable air
control source.
If the test section is below the ground water level, determine the height of
the ground water above the spring line of the pipe at each end of the test
section and compute the average. For every foot of ground water above
the pipe spring line, increase the gage test pressure by 0.43 pounds per
square inch. Connect the air hose to the inlet tap and a portable air control
source. The air equipment should consist of necessary valves and pressure
gages to control the rate at which air flows into the test section and to en-
able monitoring of the air pressure within the test section. Also, the
testing apparatus should be equipped with a pressure relief device to avoid
the possibility of loading the test section with the full capacity of the
compressor.
Add air slowly to the test section until the pressure inside the pipe is raised
to 4.0 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that
may be over the pipe. After a pressure of 4.0 psig is obtained, regulate the
air supply so that the pressure is maintained between 3.5 and 4.0 psig
(above the average ground water back pressure) for a period of two
minutes. This allows the air temperature to stabilize in equilibrium with
the temperature of the pipe walls. The pressure will normally drop slightly
until temperature equilibrium is obtained.
02722 -11
Determine the rate of air loss by the time/pressure drop method. After the
two minute air stabilization period, the air supply is disconnected and the
test pressure allowed to decrease to 3.5 psi g. The time required for the test
pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig is determined by means of a
stopwatch and this time interval is then compared to the required time in
the following table to determine if the rate of air loss is within the
allowable time limit. If the time is equal to or greater than the times
indicated in the table, the pipe line shall be deemed acceptable.

Upon completion of the test, open the bleeder valve to allow air to escape. Plugs
should not be removed until all air pressure in the test section has been released.
During this time, no one should be allowed in the trench or manhole while the
pipe is being decompressed.
C. Manhole Inspection: During the construction of the manholes, the Contractor
shall, in accordance with good practice, insure that no earth, sand, rocks or other
foreign material exists on the joint surfaces during assembly of the section. The
Engineer shall check each manhole to determine whether the manhole fulfills the
requirements of the drawings and specifications.
1. Visual Examination-The Engineer shall visually check each manhole,
both exterior and interior, for flaws, cracks, holes, or other inadequacies
which might affect the operation or watertight integrity of the manhole.
Should any inadequacies be found, the Contractor, at his own expense,
shall make any repairs deemed necessary by the Engineer.
2. Leakage Test-All manholes shall be tested for leakage and all tests shall
be witnessed by the Engineer. The leakage test shall be conducted prior to
backfilling around the manhole and shall be carried out in the following
marmer:
a. All lines leading into or out of the manhole shall be tightly
plugged.
b. The manhole shall be filled with water to a level at least one foot
above the uppermost joint. The water shall be allowed to stand for
two hours to allow for normal water absorption into the manhole
material. At the end of the two-hour stabilization period, if the
02722 -12
water level in the manhole has dropped below the top ring joint,
additional water will be added to bring the level above the joint as
before. Any visible external leakage noted within a one-hour test
period shall constitute failure, and the Contractor, at his own
expense, shall repair the manhole and retest until satisfactory
tightness is obtained.
3. Vacuum Test. This test method covers procedures for testing pre-cast
concrete manhole sections when using the vacuum test method to
demonstrate the integrity of the installed materials and the construction
procedures. This test method is used for testing concrete manhole sections
utilizing mortar, mastic, or gasketed joints.
The final test shall be conducted after the concrete manholes are
backfilled. Preliminary manhole testing may be conducted by the
contractor prior to backfill to determine manhole condition.
a. All lift holes and any pipes entering the manhole are to be plugged.
A vacuum will be drawn and the vacuum drop over a specified
time period used to determine the acceptability of the manhole.
b. A vacuum of 10 in. of mercury shall be drawn on the manhole,
then the valve on the vacuum line of the test head closed, and the
vacuum pumps shut off The time shall be measured for the
vacuum to drop to 9 in. of mercury.
The manhole shall pass if the time for the vacuum reading to drop
from 10 in. of mercury to 9 in. of mercury meets or exceeds the
values indicated in Table I.
If the manhole fails the initial test, necessary repairs shall be made
by an approved method. The manhole shall then be retested until a
satisfactory test is obtained.

Sewer pipelines will be checked by the Engineer to determine whether any displacement
of the pipe has occurred after the trench has been bedded to an elevation 16 inches above
the pipe and tamped as specified. Ifthe interior of the pipeline shows poor alignment,
displaced pipe, earth and other debris in the pipe, or any defects, the defects determined
by the Engineer shall be remedied by the Contractor at his own expense. Tests will be
repeated after completion of backfilling.
3.05 Cleanup
Upon completion of the installation of the sanitary sewer and appurtenant structures and
any other work incidental thereto, the Contractor shall remove from the project all
equipment, surplus construction materials and debris of any type resulting from the work
and shall leave the area in as good or better condition as prior to construction.
PART 4 -MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
All measurement and payment will be based on completed work performed in strict
accordance with the drawings and specifications. No separate payment will be made for
excavation, trenching, and backfilling for items of work covered under this section of the
specifications, and all such costs pertinent to these items shall be included in the
applicable unit prices therefor.
A. Pipe: The length of the pipe installed will be measured from center to center of
manholes without deduction for fittings or diameters of manholes for each ofthe
various sizes installed and will be paid for according to the applicable contract
unit price per lineal foot for "Sewer Pipe" ofthe various sizes and depths, which
prices and payment thereof shall constitute full compensation for work performed,
complete, including all incidentals thereto. No extra payment will be made for
bends or connections to existing sewers, except as otherwise noted.
B. Granular Bedding: See Section 02221.
C. Concrete Encasement: The quantity of concrete encasement to be paid for will be
measured as the number oflinear feet of encasement in constructing pipe in areas
shown on the plans or designated by the Engineer. Concrete encasement will be
paid for at the contract unit price bid which price shall be full compensation for all
materials, labor, tools, and equipment required for acceptable encasement.
D. Services: Services shall be paid for at the unit price bid per each, as shown in the
Bid Schedule. This shall include all incidentals necessary for a complete service
connection.
E. Manholes: The measurement for payment for the construction ofthe standard
manholes with the specified diameter barrel and standard precast cone section, (or
flat tops where required) will be the individual structure, complete in place.

SPECIFICATION FOR SMOOTH INTERIOR
CORRUGATED POLYETHYLENE PIPE
02725 • I
This specification applies to high density polyethylene corrugated pipe with an integrally
formed smooth interior. Nominal sizes for which this specification is applicable are 4
inch to 24 inch diameter. Sizes 4 inch to 24 inch (N-12) shall have a full circular cross-
section, with an outer corrugated pipe wall and an essentially smooth inner wall
(waterway). All sizes shall conform to the AASHTO classification A Type S (which
describes pipe with a smooth waterway).
Pipe manufactured to this specification shall comply with the requirements for test
methods, dimensions and markings found in AASHTO Specification M252 and M294.
Pipe stiffness values shall be as follows:
Diameter Pipe Stiffness
12 inch (300 mm) 50 psi (340 kN/m5)
18 inch (450 mm) 40 psi (280 kN/ms)
The fittings shall not reduce or impair the overall integrity or function of the pipeline.
Common fittings include in-line joint fittings, such as couplers and reducers, and branch
of complimentary assembly fittings such as tees, wyes, and end caps. 4 inch to 24 inch
fittings shall be molded from SDR 35 PVC pipe. They shall meet the perfom1ance
requirements of ASTM D 3034 and the mechanical property requirements of ASTM F
1336. The gaskets for these fittings shall be manufactured in accordance with ASTM
F477.
Installation of this pipe shall be in accordance with ASTM Recommended Practice
02321 as covered elsewhere in these specifications. Maximum allowable deflection
shall be 7.5% (per ASTM 03034), measured not less than 30 days following completion
of installation.
Pipe and fittings shall be ADS N-127 Series 35 or approved equal.
LAYING AND JOINING N-12 PIPE:
0-Ring Joints (Pro-Link Series) and 42 inch & 48 inch w/ Integral Bell and Spigot
Joint
(I'hese joint systems are available in soil-tight (ST) and water-tight (WT) systems.)
1. Thoroughly clean the bell and spigot ends, making sure they are free of mud and grit.
02725-2
If the gasket has been removed, make sure the gasket seat is clean. Reinstall the
gasket by stretching it over the spigot end and nesting it into the seat, with marking
toward the coupling. Remove 30 inch to 48 inch shrink-wrap from gasket. Remove
shipping collars prior to placing pipe in trench.
2. Use a johnny mop or brush to apply a liberal amount of gasket lube to the gasket and
to swab the inside ofthe bell. Take care to lube the chamfered (leading) edge of the
bell (A WT joint).
3. Align the joint and push the spigot home. Use a bar and wood block on larger
diameters when necessary, making sure the block protects the pipe end from the bar.
\Vben pushing the joint home, make sure the bedding material is not pulled into the
bell by the spigot. Material such as small stones or sand pulled into the bell as the
pipe is stabbed can cause leaks.
4. Integral bell pipe should be laid with the green stripe up. Home mark stickers are
provided to prevent over insertion.
