operations may be completed before or after installation of the anode assembly
at the CONTRACTOR's option.
11. Over drill the well to compensate for sloughing or heaving during anode
installation.
C. Electrical Logging:
1. Flush the hole and electrically log the hole in the presence of the ENGINEER to
determine the soil characteristic along the length of the well.
2. Electrical Logging Method: make a resistance to earth reading as the first anode
is lowered into the hole. The first anode shall be electrically isolated from the
steel standpipe to facilitate testing. Test using suitable meters, connections to
a low resistance ground, and a method to measure the down hole wire length or
provide footage identification markings on the wire.
3. Record resistance readings and depth from the surface continuously or at 5-foot
increments for the entire hole depth. Note depth of groundwater at time of
electrical logging.
D. Lowering of Anodes:

placement of embankment in any fill shall be a continuous operation to completion
unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer.
2. Subgrades upon which fill or embankments are to be constructed shall be stripped
of topsoil, organic material, rubbish and other extraneous materials. After stripping
and prior to placing fill or embankment material, the Contractor shall compact the
top 12 inches of in place soil as specified under COMPACTION.
3. Any soft or unsuitable materials revealed before or during placement fill or
embankment placement shall be removed as indicated by the Engineer and/or
materials testing consultant and replaced with select fill and compacted as
required.
4. Fill subgrades on which fill or embankment is to be placed, shall be scarified or
stepped in a manner which will permit bonding of the embankment with the
existing surface. The fill or embankment soils shall be as specified under Part 2 -
Products, and shall be deposited and spread in successive, uniform,
approximately horizontal layers. The loose thickness of each lift shall not exceed
the thickness for each fill type noted in COMPACTION.

MWDSLS – Project No.: SA061 Earthwork
Cottonwoods Connection Page 31 00 01-14
material be too wet or too dry to permit proper compaction, earthwork operations
shall be delayed until the material is adequately moisture conditioned. Samples of
all fill or embankment materials for testing, both before and after placement and
compaction, will be taken at frequent intervals. From these tests, corrections,
adjustments, and modifications of methods, materials, and moisture content will be
made to construct the embankment.
8. Where fill or embankments materials are to be placed and compacted on sloped
subgrades steeper than 4:1 shall be benched. Benches shall be at least 6-feet
wide.
9. When rock and other embankment material are excavated at approximately the

3. Where excavation support is used, the Contractor shall take all reasonable
measures to prevent loss of support beneath and adjacent to pipes and existing
structures when supports are removed. If significant volumes of soil cannot be
prevented from clinging to the extracted supports, the voids shall be continuously
backfilled as rapidly as possible. The Contractor shall thereafter limit the depth
below subgrade that supports will be installed in similar soil conditions or employ
other appropriate means to prevent loss of support.
4. Backfill against concrete or masonry structure shall not be performed until the
Work has been reviewed and backfilling permitted. Backfill against walls shall also
be deferred until the structural slab for floors above the top fill line have been
placed and attained design strength or earlier at the discretion of the Engineer.

conjunction with the Materials Testing Consultant, will be the judge as to which test
method will be the most appropriate. Failure to achieve the specified densities
shall require the Contractor to recompact the material or remove it as required.
The Contractor shall, if necessary, increase the compactive effort by increasing the
number of passes, using heavier or more suitable compaction equipment, or by
reducing the thickness of the layers. The Contractor shall adjust the moisture
contents of the soils to bring them within the optimum range by drying them or
adding water as required.
4. Testing will be performed as frequently as deemed necessary by the Engineer
and/or Materials Testing Consultant. As a minimum, one in place density test shall
be performed for each 1000 cubic yards of embankment placed and 500 cubic
yards of backfill placed or one test performed each day for either or as directed by
the Engineer or recommended by Material Testing Consultant.

soil cover has been maintained for one full year from planting. Inspect seeded
areas for failure and make necessary repairs and reseedings within the same
season, if possible.
7. Reseeding – If a stand has inadequate cover, re -evaluate choice of plant materials
and quantities of lime and fertilizer. Re -establish the stand after seedbed
preparation or over-seed the stand. Consider seeding temporary, annual species if
the time of year is not appropriate for permanent seeding.
8. If vegetation fails to grow, soil must be tested to determine if acidity or nutrient
imbalance is responsible.

10/27/2023
MWDSLS – Project No.: SA061 Utility Structures
Cottonwoods Connection Page 33 05 61-10
B. Visual Inspection – Sewer lines shall be visually inspected from every manhole by use of
mirrors, television cameras, or other devices for visual inspection, and the lines shall all
exhibit a fully circular pattern when viewed from one manhole to the next. Lines which do
not exhibit a true line and grade or have structural defects shall be corrected to meet
these qualifications. Any visual water infiltration of water into the manhole shall be
repaired using hydraulic cement or other approved materials.
C. Leakage – Sewers shall be tested for leakage. The program of testing shall fit the
conditions as mutually determined by the Engineer and the Contractor. The Contractor
shall take all necessary precautions to prevent any joints from drawing while the sewers
or their appurtenances are being tested. The Contractor shall, at his own expense,
correct any excess leakage and repair any damage to the pipe and their appurtenances,
or to any structures resulting from or caused by these tests.
D. Leakage Test Procedure – Each section of sewer shall be tested by closing the lower
end of the sewer to be tested and the inlet sewer of the upper manhole with stoppers
and filling the pipe and manhole with water to a point 6 feet above the crown of the open
sewer in the upper manhole, or, if ground water is present, 6 feet above the sections
average adjacent ground water level as indicated by a monitor well installed adjacent to
each manhole. The line shall be filled with water prior to testing and allowed to stand
until the pipe has reached its maximum absorption, but not less than two (2) hours. After
maximum absorption has been reached, the head shall be reestablished and tested for
at least six (6) hours maintaining the head specified above by measured additions of
water. The sum of these additions shall be the leakage for the test period.
1. If ground water is present to a height of at least 6 feet above the crown of the
sewer at the upper end of the pipe section to be tested, the leakage test may be
made by measuring the rate of infiltration using a suitable weir or other measuring
device approved by the Engineer. Whether the test is made by infiltration or
exfiltration, the allowable leakage shall not exceed 100 gallons per day per inch of
diameter per mile of sewer being tested.
2. Where the actual leakage exceeds the allowable, the Contractor shall discover the
cause and correct it before the sewer will be accepted. For the purpose of this
subsection, a section of sewer is defined as that length of sewer between
successive manholes or special structures or stub-outs for future connections.
E. Low Pressure Compressed Air Test – If the leakage cannot be located by infiltration or
exfiltration testing, this type test may be used. The pipeline shall be considered
acceptable, when tested at an average pressure of 3.0 psi greater than the average
back pressure of any groundwater that may submerge the pipe, if the section under test
does not lose air at a rate greater than 0.0030 cfm per sq. ft. of internal pipe surface.
F. Deflection Test – No sooner than thirty (30) days after final backfill installation, each
section of PVC pipe shall be checked for vertical deflection using an electronic
deflectometer or a rigid "GoNoGo" device. Vertical deflection shall not exceed five (5)
percent of the inside pipe diameter for PVC pipe.

1. Where the actual deflection exceeds the allowable, the Contractor shall discover
the cause and correct it before the pipe will be acceptable. For the purpose of this
subsection, a section of sewer is defined as that length of sewer between
successive manholes or special structures or stubouts for future connections.
G. Cost of Testing and Repairs – Any and all work necessary to bring the line into
conformance with the infiltration and deflection specifications shall be performed by the
Contractor at no extra cost to the Owner. All apparent sources of infiltration and
excessive deflection shall be repaired by the Contractor.
1. The Contractor shall provide all water, plugs, hoses, pumps, equipment, etc.
necessary for the proper flushing and testing of the sewers.

D. Valves shall permit dismantling for repairs and cleaning without being removed from the
line. All installations shall include a ball valve of the same diameter as the nominal valve
size located on the inlet side for isolation. The exhaust from the valve shall be piped to a
suitable disposal point, with the piping firmly supported and installed in such a way as to
avoid splashing and wetting of floors. Exhaust piping shall be no smaller than the
diameter of the air valve’s largest orifice.
E. Unless otherwise directed by the Owner, isolation valves shall open counterclockwise.
F. For valves where insect screens are required, confirm that the open surface area
between the insect screen mesh is no less than the area of the largest air valve orifice
so as not to restrict air flow.
G. All internal and external ferrous components and surfaces of the valves, with the
exception of stainless steel and finished or bearing surfaces, shall be shop painted with
two coats (10 mils min. dry film thickness) of the manufacturer's premium epoxy for

corrosion resistance. Damaged surfaces shall be repaired in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
H. One spare valve shall be provided for each size and type of valve specified.
2.02 AIR VALVES FOR WATER SERVICE
A. The valves specified in this section shall be specifically designed for water service.
B. All air valves for water service 1-inch in diameter and larger shall have a ¼-inch
minimum diameter drain plug.
C. Air Release Valves (ARV): ARVs for water service shall be designed to operate (open)
while pressurized allowing entrained air in a water pipeline to escape through the air
release orifice. After entrained air escapes through the air release orifice, the valve
orifice shall close tightly. The air release orifice will then remain closed until more air
accumulates and the opening cycle repeats automatically.
D. Combination Air Release and Air/Vacuum Valves (CARV): CARVs for water service shall
provide the same function as both ARVs and AVVs listed above. CARVs may be a
single body housing specifically designed for use with water mains. In addition, the valve
shall be designed to provide three-stage air venting when the pipeline is filling, or air has
accumulated in the body of the valve. The first stage shall vent the pipeline rapidly as
pressure is applied to the pipeline. The second stage shall have an anti-surge feature to
prevent development of damaging transient forces. The assembly shall be specifically
designed for pump applications conveying water. A third stage shall provide for
intermittent venting of accumulated air at pressures greater than atmospheric. Designs
using linkage, levers, and pilot devices will not be accepted.
E. For biased (non-slam) valves, the anti-surge device is biased in its activated position and
causes the main orifice to close. This shall force the exhausting air through much
smaller orifices which will choke the flow resulting in a pressure independent, constant
ACFM volume change inside the pipeline, thus controlling water-hammer velocities. The
biased element shall be installed after the initial filling of the pipeline.
F. Sealing pressure is listed in the Valve Parameters Table below.
G. Acceptable manufacturers for non-surge air valve applications: Crispin, Golden
Anderson, Cla-Val, Valmatic, or equal.

2. Bit or Data Bit: Whenever the terms bit or data bit are used in the Specification, it
is intended that one bit shall be equivalent to one binary digit of information. In
specifying data transmission rate, the bit rate or data bit rate shall be the number
of binary digits transmitted per second and shall not necessarily be equal to either
the maximum pulse rate or average pulse rate.
3. Integrated Circuit: Integrated circuit shall mean the physical realization of a
number of circuit elements inseparably associated on or within a continuous body
to perform the function of a circuit.
4. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): The MTBF shall be calculated by taking the
