FOUNDER’S SQUARE PHASE 3
SPECIAL PROVISIONS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Founder’s Square is a planned unit subdivision development situated southeasterly of South
Second East and Sunrise Drive in southeast Rexburg, Idaho. The development was master
planned several years ago and is being constructed in phases. This project is the third phase of
development consisting of a 4.6-acre parcel subdivided into 15 single family home lots in the
northeast corner of the overall subdivision area.
The new subdivision will be served with 44 ft. wide public paved streets with curb and gutter; and
public water, sewer, and storm drain utilities. This project comprises the work necessary to install
the infrastructure serving the development, including tying into, and utilizing some existing water
and sewer piping that was installed several years ago with Phase 1 which is already connected
to existing City systems.
Work includes construction of the sewer, water, and storm drain facilities (curb and gutter leading
to existing catch basins on an existing storm drain system); followed by construction of the paved
streets with curb and gutter. Street lighting and any landscaping will be provided by others.
Design engineering, construction observation, and project management and administration for
this project are being provided by The Dyer Group LLC (Winston Dyer, PE, 208-390-9700,
wdyer@thedyergroup.com).
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Incidental Items and Additional Work: Payment for work accomplished on this project will be
in accordance with a negotiated contract arrangement between the Owner and Contractor.
A separate list of work items and associated estimated quantities is being provided to define the
work represented in the project Drawings. Work necessary to properly complete a listed work
item that is not specifically detailed on the Drawings or described in these Special Provisions, but
is necessary to complete that work item, is to be considered incidental to and included in the work
item. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, excavation and backfill, necessary
exploratory excavation, water used for construction, traffic control, miscellaneous grading,
cleanup, and the like.
If additional work is required beyond the work items defined in the list, or if quantities to be
completed exceed those estimated; such work is to be negotiated with the Owner and paid for
under the Miscellaneous Work item of the contract.
Work Hours: Work hours of 7 a.m. through 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday are acceptable on
this project.
Water for Construction: Water for construction is available from the City’s culinary water system
provided that proper prior arrangements are made with the City, suitable precautions are taken to
2
prevent cross-connection and possible contamination of the water supply, and that withdrawals
are coordinated with Rexburg Public Works to avoid adverse impact on water system operation.
Public Access and Safety: At all times conduct work so as to insure to the greatest possible
degree the uninterrupted convenience and safety of the general public and property owners
adjacent to the work. Maintain access for emergency vehicles at all times and keep emergency
services departments apprised of any potential access disruptions.
Traffic Control: Traffic control is required when working within public road rights-of-way and is
incidental to other items of the contract. Furnish traffic control in accordance with the federal
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Staging Area: Construction of a staging area on the worksite is permissible provided its location,
use, and size are coordinated in advance with and approved by the Owner. Upon completion of
construction, reclaim the staging area to its preconstruction condition.
Material Sources: Material sources and excess material disposal sites (other than excavated
earthwork that can be used for street or site grading) are not available on the premises and thus
are to be Contractor-furnished.
Salvaging Topsoil: Remove, salvage, and stockpile topsoil from the construction areas for later
use in landscaping the subdivision. Locate the stockpile on site in a location approved by the
Owner prior to beginning stockpiling operations.
Rock Excavation: rock excavation may be required for pipeline construction in some areas of
the work. Rock excavation will consist of loosening and removing rock to provide for pipeline
installation, and providing suitable backfill material to replace the removed rock volume.
Develop a plan for rock removal and associated operations and submit it to the Engineer for
review and approval prior to commencing work. Loosen rock by blasting, hammering, rotary
trenching, or similar approved method. Excavate and remove loose rock with suitable equipment
to a depth of at least 4 inches below the bottom of the proposed pipeline. Remove excavated
rock from the job site and properly dispose of the material in an approved location. Furnish
suitable replacement trench backfill material to compensate for the volume of rock removed and
place in accordance with the trench backfilling and compaction requirements of the Standard
Specifications and these Special Provisions.
Leave trenches exposed immediately after rock excavation and removal so measurements may
be taken in conjunction with the Engineer to properly quantify the depth of rock removed. Rock
depth measurements are to be taken at reasonable intervals along the trench prior to placing pipe
and beginning any bedding or backfill operations. Payment will be made by the cubic yard of rock
removed as measured in accordance with the Standard Specifications and is to include rock
removal, disposal, and replacement with suitable backfill material.
Submittals: Furnish shop drawings, equipment catalog cuts, and other similar information to the
Engineer for review and approval of all equipment and materials proposed for use on this project
prior to beginning work on the associated item(s).
Testing: Furnish required testing necessary for quality control. This includes compaction testing
for backfill, aggregate layers, and pavement; and proctors for soil and gravel materials. For sewer
lines it includes a mandrel test, a low-pressure air test, and internal TV inspection of the completed
lines. For water pipes it includes pressure and bacteriological testing. For any storm drain
3
pipelines it includes low pressure air testing. For cast in place concrete, it includes air
entrainment, slump, and concrete strength test cylinders.
Use the services of a qualified testing firms to conduct the required testing. Provide electronic
copies of all test results to the Engineer and Owner, together with a final organized report for
submittal to, and approval of, the City of Rexburg for the project. Quality assurance will be
provided by the Engineer or authorized representative observing testing used to establish
compliance with the specifications. Give at least 24 hours advance notice for needed observation.
Surveying: The Engineer has conducted a topographic survey of the work area, on which the
design is based. The Engineer will provide construction staking for all principal elements and a
three-dimensional surface model in AutoCAD for the Contractor’s use in preparing control for
GPS-guided equipment. The Contractor will be responsible to further lay out the work from the
information provided by the Engineer.
Storm Water Permit: Follow the attached SWPPP to make appropriate provision to minimize on-
site erosion, prevent runoff to the adjacent properties, and construct stabilized construction
entrances for construction traffic onto existing public roadways. If applicable, make application
and obtain an Idaho General Construction Permit for the worksite prior to beginning construction
(note: the work is in a natural bowl area with no outlet or connection whatsoever to any surface
waters, so it might be exempt from Permit requirements).
Coordination with Other Contractors: Additional work within the subdivision for home
construction, landscaping, and electrical lighting may be performed by others coincident with
some of the work of this project. Coordinate with such other contractors as required to
accommodate trenching, placement of underground conduits, avoidance of conflict in working
areas, and other similar items necessary to achieve an effective coordination between different
contractors working on this subdivision.
Coordination with Regulators: Coordinate fully with representatives from the City of Rexburg
and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality who may periodically visit the jobsite to review
progress and adequacy of the work.
Record Drawings: Keep an accurate and detailed record of the as-constructed information for
all facilities constructed on this project, using the design Drawings as a basis. For buried facilities
such as water valves, provide measurements to at least two surface landmarks to facilitate future
location. For water and sewer services, record the station of the connection as determined from
the Drawings or distance from the center of a nearby manhole or valve.
Warranty: Warrant all materials and workmanship on this project for a period of not less than one
year from the date of project acceptance. Retain performance bond in effect or provide other
Owner-approved security during this period as evidence of warranty.
