defined (1) as the area within the permanent and temporary easements or right-

of-way, and areas adjacent to these areas which may be affected by routine

construction operations, and (2) by the direction of the Owner. The surface

features within the construction's zone of influence shall include, but not be

limited to, all roadways, pavements, curbs, driveways, ponds, sidewalks,

culverts, headwalls, retaining walls, buildings, landscaping, trees, shrubbery, and

fences. Of particular concern shall be the existence of any faults, fractures, or

defects. Recorded coverage shall be limited to one side of the street at any one

time and shall include all surface conditions located within the zone of influence

of construction supported by appropriate audio description.

B. The recording of each video segment shall be a simultaneously recorded with the

audio recording. This audio recording, exclusively containing the commentary of

the camera operator, shall assist in viewer orientation and in any needed

identification, differentiation, clarification, or objective description of the feature

being shown in the video portion of the recording. The audio recording also shall

be free from any conversations between the camera operator and any other

production technicians.

C. All DVD’s shall be permanently labeled and shall be properly identified by project

title, number and date of recording.

01315

D. Each DVD shall have a log of that media’s contents. The log shall describe the

various segments of coverage contained on that video tape in terms of the

names of streets or easements, coverage beginning and end, directions of

coverage, and video unit counter/segment numbers.

3.02 Recording Schedule

A. The recording shall be performed prior to the placement of any construction

materials or equipment on the proposed construction site.

B. The Contractor shall coordinate the recording with the construction schedule so

that those portions of the construction that will be completed first will be

recorded first. The recording company shall deliver the video tape recordings to

the Owner upon their completion. Upon delivery of the DVD’s, transfer of

ownership of those DVD’s shall be made to the Owner.

3.03 Visibility

All recordings shall be performed during times of good visibility. No recording

shall be done during periods of significant precipitation, mist, or fog. The

recording shall only be done when sufficient sunlight is present to properly

illuminate the subject, and to produce bright, sharp video recordings of those

subjects. No taping shall be performed when more than 10% of the area to be

taped contains debris or obstructions unless otherwise authorized by the

Engineer.

3.04 Continuity of Coverage

A. In order to increase the continuity of the coverage, the coverage shall consist of

a single, continuous, unedited recording which begins at one end of a particular

construction area. However, where coverage is required in areas not accessible

by conventional wheeled vehicles and smooth transport of the recording system

is not possible, such coverage shall consist of an organized, interrelated

sequence of recordings at various positions along that proposed construction

area (e.g., wooded easement area).

B. The average rate of travel during a particular segment of coverage (e.g.,

coverage of one side of the street) shall be directly proportional to the number,

size, and value of the surface features within that construction area's zone of

influence.

3.05 Camera Height and Stability

01315

When conventional wheeled vehicles are used as conveyances for the recording

system, the distance between the camera lens and the ground shall not be less

than 10 feet. The camera shall be firmly mounted, such that transport of the

camera during the recording process will not cause any unsteady picture.

3.06 Camera Control

Camera pan, tilt, zoom-in, and zoom-out rates shall be sufficiently controlled

such that recorded objects will be clearly viewed during video tape playback. In

addition, all other camera and recording system controls, such as lens, focus, and

aperture, video level, pedestal, chroma, white balance, and electrical focus, shall

be properly controlled or adjusted to maximize recorded picture quality.

3.07 Viewer Orientation Techniques

The audio and video portions of the recording shall maintain viewer orientation.

To this end, overall establishing views and visual displays of all visible house and

building addresses shall be utilized. In easements where the proposed

construction location will not be readily apparent in the video tape viewer, highly

visible yellow flags shall be placed in such a fashion as to clearly indicate the

proposed centerline of construction.

3.08 Areas to be Recorded

A. The Contractor shall be able to televise and record areas with paved roads, along

easements, through parks, lawns, and open fields and inside buildings. When

recording on private property, the Contractor shall give the Owner sufficient

prior notice of such entry so that property owners may be advised of, and their

permission obtained for, the work.

B. At no time shall the Contractor be allowed to use any electrical circuits within

private property building structure. All recording shall be done during regular

business hours, unless otherwise specified by the private property owner or the

GENERAL QUALITY CONTROL

Part I. GENERAL

1.01 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS

(A) Definitions:

(i) Specific quality control requirements for the work are indicated throughout the

Contract Documents. In particular, quality control provisions for manufactured

products are specified in individual work sections and in other related sections of the

specifications; and are not repeated in this section. The requirements of this section

are primarily related to the performance of the work beyond the furnishing of

manufactured products. The term "Quality Control" includes, but is not necessarily

limited to, inspection and testing and associated requirements. This section does not

specify or modify the Engineer's duties relating to Contract quality review and

observation.

1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE

(A) General Workmanship Standards:

(i) Except as more definitively specified in other sections of the specifications, comply

with the recognized workmanship quality standards within the industry as applicable

to each unit of work, including ANSI standards where applicable. It is a requirement

that each category of tradesman or installer performing the work be pre-qualified, to

the extent of being familiar with the applicable and recognized quality standards for

his category of work, and being capable of workmanship complying with those

standards.

1.03 SUBMITTALS

(A) Refer to Section 01300 for the general submittal requirements applicable to inspection

and test reports, project photographs, damage surveys, quality control samples,

maintenance agreements, guaranties, warranties, and similar documentation of quality

compliances as required. Refer to the individual work sections of the specifications for

specific certification and submittal requirements.

(B) Copies and Distribution: Where inspection and test reports and certifications are

required by governing authorities, provide additional copies as required, and, where

required, send copies directly from inspection or testing agency to governing authority.

1.04 PRODUCT DELIVERY-STORAGE-HANDLING

(A) Materials, supplies, and equipment delivered to the site shall be inspected for damage,

unloaded, and stored with a minimum of handling. Delivered items shall not be stored

directly on the ground. Handle, store and protect materials and products, including

fabricated components, by methods and means recommended by the manufacturer

which will prevent damage, deterioration and losses (and resulting delays), thereby

01400

1 .03 INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND PIPING

(B) Excavation, trenching and backfilling for the installation of underground piping system shall be

as specified in Section 02222 - Trenching, Backfilling and Compacting. Pipe shall be laid in a level

trench. Irregularities shall be smoothed out or filled in with sand and tamped. Holes shall be

scooped out where the bells occur leaving the entire barrel of the pipe bearing on the pipe bed.

Locate tape shall be installed 18" below finished grade. It shall state "Caution, buried potable

main below" for water, "Caution, buried force main below" for force main, and "Caution, buried

gravity main below" for sewer.

(C) Laying of the pipe shall be commenced immediately after the excavation is started, and every

means must be used to keep pipe laying closely behind the trenching. The Engineer may stop

trenching when, in his opinion, the trench is open too far in advance of the pipe laying

operation. Pipe may be laid in the best manner adapted to securing speed and good results. It

shall, however, be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.

Damaged or unsound pipe or fittings will be removed and replaced by the Contractor at no

additional cost to the Owner. Before jointing of the pipe, all lumps, blisters, excess coating

material or oil shall be removed from the bell and spigot ends of the pipe. Waterlines shall be

thrust-blocked or restrained to prevent movement of lines under pressure. Restraints or

concrete thrust-blocking shall be furnished by the Contractor. Concrete shall be a minimum

2,500 psi. For ductile iron pipe, thrust or anchor blocks or restrained joints shall be installed at

all bends, tees, crosses, wyes, plugs, and reducers as shown in details of typical thrust and

anchor block placements on the drawings. The number of feet of pipe with restrained joints

necessary for each size pipe shall be as shown on the Standard Detail drawings.

(D) Where there is no adequate natural foundation upon which to construct a pipe bed, the pipe

shall be constructed on a prepared stabilized subgrade or rock bedding of Class I materials as

defined in ASTM D2321. Unsuitable subgrade materials shall be replaced or stabilized as

described in Section 02222. Gravel or graded limerock used for pipe bedding, when ordered in

writing, shall be paid for under bid item for such material. Where dewatering is required, Class I

materials shall be used as described in ASTM D2321.

(E) Pipe and fittings shall be strung out for 1 day’s construction along the route of construction with

the spigots pointing in the direction of the flow. Pipe shall be placed where it will cause least

interference with traffic. Pipe shall be handled by mechanical equipment. Before the pipe is

lowered into the trench, it shall be swabbed or brushed out to insure that no dirt or foreign

material gets into the finished line. Trench waters shall be kept out of the pipe and the pipe

kept closed by means of a test plug whenever work is not in progress. The Contractor shall

provide the means for dewatering the trench and the cost thereof shall be included in the price

for installing the pipe.

(F) Deflections from a straight line or grade made necessary by vertical curves or horizontal curves

or offsets shall not exceed the manufacturer's recommendations. If the specified or required

alignment requires deflection in excess of those recommended, the Contractor shall either

provide special bends as approved by the Engineer or a sufficient number of shorter lengths of

pipe to provide angular deflections within the required limit.

(G) All joints shall be watertight and any leaks or defects discovered shall be immediately repaired

02600-3

to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any pipe which has been disturbed after being laid shall be

taken up, the joints cleaned and the pipes properly relaid. Any superfluous material inside the

pipe shall be flushed or removed by means of an approved follower or scraper after joints are

made. Installation of fittings and pipe joints shall be in strict accordance with the

manufacturer's recommendations.

(H) Where water mains are stubbed out, in addition to thrust blocks, the stubouts shall be

restrained to the tee.

(I) For the protection of exposed reinforcing in anchor blocks, and any all-thread restraint methods,

the Contractor shall furnish and apply two coats of Koppers Bitumastic No. 505 protective

coating.

(J) Before backfilling, the Contractor shall take elevations on the top of the pipe barrel at 100-foot

intervals along the pipe line and at any change in grade. These elevations shall be submitted to

the Engineer.

(K) Plastic pipe shall be installed in strict accordance with the provisions of ASTM D2321-74,

including those provisions in respect to compaction of bedding and haunching material. Class IV

or Class V materials as defined in ASTM D2321 shall not be used for bedding, haunching or initial

backfill.

1 .04 CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING MAINS

(A) Where connections are required between new work and existing utility mains, the connection

shall be made in a thorough and first class manner, using proper specials and fittings to suit the

actual conditions. Use ductile iron mechanical joint sleeve for connection to existing utility

mains. In case a connection is made to an existing fitting in the line, the Contractor shall

schedule his work so that digging and locating the existing fittings can be completed prior to

starting trench work on the line. Cut-ins into lines shall be done at a time approved by the

Utilities Engineer. The Contractor shall not make any connections or service taps into existing

utility mains until their work has been tested and accepted by the Utilities Engineer.

1 .05 TESTING PIPING SYSTEM

(A) FLUSHING

(i) After the mains have been laid and pressure tested, each run of pipe shall be thoroughly

flushed so as to remove all debris and foreign matter from the lines. Flushing will ordinarily be

done by opening fire hydrants or blowoffs along the pipe line. Where fire hydrants or blowoffs

are not available or are of insufficient capacity to permit adequate flushing, the pipe line shall

be opened and flumes or piping shall be provided by the Contractor to waste the water to the

nearest approved disposal point. Sufficient flushing water shall be introduced into the mains

to produce a velocity of note less than 2-1/2-feet per second, and this rate of flow shall be

continued until the discharge is clear and no evidence of silt or foreign matter is visible.

1. As used in these specifications:

a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this

contract resulted;

b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, United States

Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority;

c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security number used on the

Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941.

d. "Minority" includes:

(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of

Hispanic origin);

(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or

other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race);

(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of

the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and

(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original

peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through

membership and participation or community identification).

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work

involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000

the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority

and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by

the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its

affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in

accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors

FDEP-26

Revision 4

September 1999

must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such

Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually

required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith effort to

achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith

performance by other Contractors or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse

any covered Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals

and timetables.

4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs

7a through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract

resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and

female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in

which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction Contractors performing construction

work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract

shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being

performed. Goals are published periodically in the FEDERAL REGISTER in notice form, and such

notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from

Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform

progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with

whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall

excuse the Contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the

regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting

the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period,

and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the

completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be

trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.

7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity.

The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to

achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall

implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:

a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion

at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The

Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The

Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site

supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such

a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such

sites or in such facilities.

FDEP-27

Revision 4

September 1999

b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide

written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations

when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a

record of the organizations' responses.

c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority

and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment

source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such

individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred

back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be

documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the

Contractor may have taken.

d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which

the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority

person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the

union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.

e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the

area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and

apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially

those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall

provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.

f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and

training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO

obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by

publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with

all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by

posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location

where construction work is performed.

g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under

these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff,

termination or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite

supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of

construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the

time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of

the subject matter.

h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the

news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written

notification to and discussing the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and

Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.

FDEP-28

Revision 4

i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community

organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female

recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment

needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for

apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written

notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and

tests to be used in the selection process.

j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and

women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to

minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of a Contractor's work force.

k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under

41 CFR Part 60-3.

l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female

personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare

for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.

m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel

practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and

employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under

these specifications are being carried out.

n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or

single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between

the sexes.

o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from

minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations

to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations.

p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under

the Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or

more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a contractor association,

joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the contractor is a

member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a

through p of these Specifications provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes

every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women

in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's

minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and

timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions

taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure

of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncompliance.

FDEP-29

Revision 4

September 1999

9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The

Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative

action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority.

Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is

employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved

its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific

minority group of women is underutilized).

10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to

discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from

Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.

12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications

and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing

subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its

implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor

who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and

Executive Order 11246, as amended.

13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligation under these specifications, shall implement specific

affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these

specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment

opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the

implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41

CFR 60-4.8.

14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to

ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions

hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for

each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any,

employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g.,

mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in

the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be

maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing

records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which

establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local

or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community

Development Block Grant Program).
