requires delivery of Owner -purchased materials. The Owner will arrange for the materials to be delivered to
the construction site on or before the specified dates. If delivery dates are changed, rescheduled, or otherwise
varied from the original schedule, the Contractor shall notify the Owner in writing of delivery date
rescheduling and the Contractor shall coordinate the delivery of the Owner -purchased materials directly with
the supplier or material man.
2. Pre -Installation Inspection. The Contractor shall be responsible for receiving, inspecting and storing all
Owner -purchased materials until they are needed for installation by the Contractor. Regardless of any
inspection performed by the Owner of the Owner -purchased materials, the Contractor shall be responsible
for inspecting the Owner -purchased materials to determine suitability, quality and conformance with
specifications before installation or at such other time as the Contractor may desire in order to avoid
interruptions and delays in the progress of the Project. The Contractor shall reject any material which does
not meet specifications or which appears to have any defect, which may make the material unsuitable for use
in the Project. The Contractor shall notify the Owner and the manufacturer or supplier of all defects and
assist the Owner in arranging for the repair, replacement or correction of the defective condition. The
Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of any deadline or completion date, which results from failure
to discover defects, which the Contractor should have discovered through an inspection.

costs and damages to the Owner in excess of the value of the materials; that after use in the Project it may be
difficult or impossible to inspect the material to determine the cause of any failure; and that in the event of the
failure of material there may be a question as to the cause of the failure. Because the Contractor's employees
will be the last to handle and inspect material prior to incorporation into the Project, the Contractor will be
liable to the Owner for damages resulting from failure of Owner -purchased materials during the Contractor's
warranty period specified herein from any cause whatsoever unless the Contractor provides clear and
convincing proof that (1) the entire loss from a failure is covered by a valid manufacturer's or supplier's
warranty, or (2) the Contractor could not have prevented the failure by complying with the requirements of
this Section concerning Owner -purchased materials.
4. Claims. The Contractor agrees to assist the Owner to present claims to manufacturers and suppliers for
defects in Owner -purchased materials. Where there is any question as to the division of liability between the
Contractor and a manufacturer or vendor, the Contractor shall provide all relevant information in the
Contractor's possession, which may aid the Owner in determining the division of responsibility. The Owner
shall have final approval of any proposed adjustment or settlement of warranty claims.
5. Implied Warranties. The benefit of contractual and implied warranties with respect to Owner -purchased
materials shall run to the Owner and not to the Contractor.
6. Unloading. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor shall be responsible for unloading all
Owner -purchased materials and verifying delivery amounts to the Owner.
7. Custody and Security. The Contractor shall use reasonable care in protecting Owner -purchased materials
from loss, deterioration, damage, theft, vandalism or destruction.

shall be the property of the Owner. If the Owner does not wish to retain or dispose of surplus Owner -
purchased materials, the Contractor shall remove and dispose of them.

1. Use commercially manufactured wye fittings for piping branch connections. Remove
section of existing pipe, install wye fitting into existing piping, and encase entire Wye
fitting, plus 6 -inch overlap, with not less than 6 inches of concrete with 28 -day
compressive strength of 3000 psi.
2. Make branch connections from side into existing piping, NPS 4 to NPS 20. Remove
section of existing pipe, install wye fitting into existing piping; and encase entire Wye
with not less than 6 inches of concrete with 28 -day compressive strength of 3000 psi.
3. Make branch connections from side into existing piping, NPS 21 or larger, or to
underground manholes and structures by cutting opening into existing unit large enough
to allow 3 inches of concrete to be packed around entering connection. Cut end of
connection pipe passing through pipe or structure wall to conform to shape of and be
flush with inside wall, unless otherwise indicated, On outside of pipe, manhole, or
structure wall, encase entering connection in 6 inches of concrete for minimum length of
12 inches to provide additional support of collar from connection to undisturbed ground.

unless otherwise indicated.
b. Use epoxy -bonding compound as interface between new and existing concrete and
piping materials.
4. Protect existing piping, manholes, and structures to prevent concrete or debris from
entering while making tap connections. Remove debris or other extraneous material that
may accumulate.
C. Connect to sediment interceptors specified in Division 22 Section "Sanitary Waste
Interceptors."
3.13 CLOSING ABANDONED STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
A. Abandoned Piping: Close open ends of abandoned underground piping indicated to remain in
place. Include closures strong enough to withstand hydrostatic and earth pressures that may
result after ends of abandoned piping have been closed. Use either procedure below:
1. Close open ends of piping with at least 8 -inch- thick, brick masonry bulkheads.
2. Close open ends of piping with threaded metal caps, plastic plugs, or other acceptable
methods suitable for size and type of material being closed. Do not use wood plugs.
B. Abandoned Manholes and Structures: Excavate around manholes and structures as required and
use one procedure below:
1. Remove manhole or structure and close open ends of remaining piping.
2. Remove top of manhole or structure down to at least 36 inches below final grade. Fill to
within 12 inches of top with stone, rubble, gravel, or compacted dirt. Fill to top with
concrete.
C. Backfill to grade according to Division 31 Section "Earth Moving."
3.14 PAINTING
A. Clean and prepare concrete manhole surfaces for field painting. Remove loose efflorescence,
chalk, dust, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen surface as required to remove glaze.
Paint the following concrete surfaces as recommended by paint manufacturer:
Concrete Manholes: All interior.
B. Prepare ferrous frame and cover surfaces according to SSPC-PA 1 and paint according to
SSPC-PA I and SSPC-Paint 16. Do not paint surfaces with foundry -applied, corrosion -resistant
coating.

3.15 IDENTIFICATION
A. Materials and their installation are specified in Division 31 Section "Earth Moving." Arrange
for installation of green warning tape directly over piping and at outside edge of underground
structures.
1. Use detectable warning tape over ferrous piping.
2. Use detectable warning tape over nonferrous piping and over edges of underground
structures.
3.16 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Inspect interior of piping to determine whether line displacement or other damage has occurred.
Inspect after approximately 24 inches of backfill is in place, and again at completion of Project.
1. Submit separate reports for each system inspection.
2. Defects requiring correction include the following:
a. Alignment: Less than full diameter of inside of pipe is visible between structures.
b. Deflection: Flexible piping with deflection that prevents passage of ball or
cylinder of size not less than 92.5 percent of piping diameter.
C. Crushed, broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged piping.
d. Infiltration: Water leakage into piping.
C. Exfiltration: Water leakage from or around piping.
3. Replace defective piping using new materials, and repeat inspections until defects are
within allowances specified.
4. Reinspect and repeat procedure until results are satisfactory.
B. Test new piping systems, and parts of existing systems that have been altered, extended, or
repaired, for leaks and defects.
1. Do not enclose, cover, or put into service before inspection and approval.
2. Test completed piping systems according to authorities having jurisdiction.
3. Schedule tests and inspections by authorities having jurisdiction with at least 24 hours'
advance notice.
4. Submit separate report for each test.
5. Gravity -Flow Storm Drainage Piping: Test according to requirements of authorities
having jurisdiction, UNI -13-6, and the following:
a. Exception: Piping with soiltight joints unless required by authorities having
jurisdiction.
b. Option: Test plastic piping according to ASTM F 1417.
C. Option: Test concrete piping according to ASTM C 924.
6. Force -Main Storm Drainage Piping: Perform hydrostatic test after thrust blocks,
supports, and anchors have hardened. Test at pressure not less than 1-112 times the
maximum system operating pressure, but not less than 150 psig.
