SECTION C - 2
PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
(a) APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE - The quantities given in the Notice to
Contractors, Proposal and Contract forms are approximate only, being
given as a basis for the comparison of bids, and the Board does not,
expressly or by implication, agree that the actual- amount of work per-
formed or materials furnished will correspond therewith. The Contractor
agrees that the Board will not be held responsible if any of said quan-
tities shall be found incorrect; and said Contractor will not make
any claim for damages or for loss of profits because of a difference
between the quantities of the various classes of work as estimated and
the work actually done. If any error, omission, or misstatement shall
be discovered in the said estimated quantities, the same shall not in-
validate this Contract or release the Contractor from the execution and
completion of the whole or any part of the work herein specified, in
accordance with the specifications and the plans herein mentioned and
for the prices herein agreed upon and fixed therefor, or excuse him from
any of the obligations or liabilities hereunder, or entitle him to any
damages or compensation otherwise than as provided for in this contract.
(b) EXAMINATION OF PLAITS, SPECIFICATIONS. AND SITE OF WORK - The
Bidder shall examine carefully the site of the work contemplated and the
Proposal, Plans, Specifications, and Contract forr.:s therefor. It will
be assumed that the Bidder has investigated and is satisfied as to the
conditions to be encountered, as to the character,,- quality, and quanti-
ties of work to be performed and materials to be furnished, and as to
the requirements of these specifications and the contract. It is
mutually agreed that the submission of a proposal shall be considered
prima facie evidence that the Bidder has made such examination.
(c) PROPOSAL FORM All proposals must be made upon blank forms
to be obtained from the Consulting Engineers, Harrison & Woolley, at
their office, 308 West Fifth Street, Santa Ana, California. All
proposals must give the prices bid for the various items of work and
must be signed by the Bidder, who shall give his address. Each b_
shall have thereon the affidavit of the Bidder that such bid is genuine
and not sham. or collusive or made in the interest or behalf of any
other person not therein named and that the Bidder has not directly
or indirectly induced or solicited any other bidder to put in a sham
bid, or any person, firm or corporation to refrain from bidding, and
that the Bidder has not in any manner sought by collusion to secure
to himself an advantage over any other bidder.
No person, firm or corporation, shall be allowed to make or file.,
or be interested in more than one bid for the same work, unless
alternate bids are called for. A person, firm or corporation who.has
submitted a-sub-proposal to a Bidder, or who has quoted prices on
materials to a Bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a
-13-
sub-proposal or quoting prices to other Bidders. If, on the opening
of Bids, more than one bid appears in which the same person, firm
or corporation is interested as a principal, all such bids shall be
rejected.
(d) BID SECURITY - Each proposal shall be accompanied by a check
certified by a responsible bank, payable to the- order of the West Orange
County Water Board, or a bidders bond by a reliable surety company,
acceptable to the Board in an amount equal to not less than ten percent
(10%) of the aggregate of the proposal as a guarantee that the bidder will,
if awarded the contract, promptly execute such contract in accordance
with the proposal and in the manner and form required by the contract
documents, and will furnish good and sufficient bond for the faithful
performance of the same. No proposal shall be considered unless
accompanied by such check or bidderts bond.
(e) REJECTION OF PROPOSALS - RETURN OF BID SECURITY - The
proposal shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures
and shall not contain any recapitulation of the work to be done.
Alternative proposals, special conditions, or other limitations or
provisions affecting the bid, excepting as such be called for by the
Contract Documents, will render the Bid informal and may cause its
rejection. The Contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible
Bidder complying with the requirements of the Information for Bidders
and the Advertisement for Bids. The Board, however, reserves the right
to reject any or all bids, and to waive any informality in the bids
received. The bid security of the three lowest bidders will be
retained until the contract is awarded, or other disposition is made
thereof. The bid security of all bidders except the three lowest may
be returned promptly after the canvass of bids. If all bids are
rejected the Board will return all checks or bid bonds to the respective
bidders, promptly, and may again invite sealed proposals as in the first
instance.
(f) SIGNATURE TO BID - Extreme care should be used in affixing
the name and signature of the bidder. Normally, the bidder is 'either
an individual doing business under his own name or doing business
under a fictitious name, or is a copartnership or is a corporation.
The following is a suggested method of executing bid in each of these
situations:
If the bidder is:
1. An individual using a firm name, sign: example, "John Doe,
an individual doing business as Blank Co."
2. A copartnership, sign: example, "John Doe and Richard Doe,
copartners doing business as Blank Co., by John Doe, copartner."
3. A corporation, sign: example, "Blank Co., a corporation, by
John Doe (president, secretary or other title showing authority to
bind corporation). Corporation seal should also be affixed.

of furnishing all labor, materials, methods and processes, implements, tools,
and machinery, except as otherwise specified, which are necessary and
required to construct and complete the work designated in the contract and
to leave the site in a neat condition.
(b) ALTERATIONS - The quantities set forth in the Bid Schedule
are approximate only and are given as a basis upon which to compare bids.
The Board reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantity of
any item or portion of the work, or to omit portions of the work as may
be deemed necessary or expedient.
The specifications herein contained and the plans herein referred to,
may be modified and changed from time to time as may be agreed in writing
between the parties hereto, in a manner not materially affecting the
substance thereof, nor increasing the cost of the work, in order to
carry out and complete more fully and perfectly the work herein described.
If the contractor, on account of conditions developing during the
progress of the work, finds it impracticable to comply strictly with these
specifications and applies in writing for a modification of requirements or
of methods of work, such changes may be made or authorized by the Engineer,
by and with the consent of the Board, in writing, if not detrimental to
the work and if without additional cost to the Board.
In case a substitute is offered and accepted, in writing, as an approved
equal to the material or appliance specified, the cost of which is less than
the cost of the material or appliance specified, then a credit shall be taken
for the difference between the two costs in order that the Board shall obtain
whatever benefit may be derived from the substitution, and said credit shall
be deducted from the amount due the contractor under this contract.

tions is distinctly specified in said written orders; and it is also
understood and agreed between the parties hereto, that in case of any such
alterations, as much of this agreement as is not necessarily affected by
such changes or alterations shall remain in force upon the parties.

Payment for extra or additional work shall be made on the basis of
unit prices contained in the Contractor's original bid. Where there is

determined by the Engineer, taking into consideration the items of material
and labor, plus a proper rental allowance for equipment, including
foremanship and supplies for equipment used, such as oil and fuel, plus

and he will be held responsible for their work which shall be subject to the
provisions of the contract and specifications.
Where a portion of the work sublet by the Contractor is not being
prosecuted in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer, the subcontractor shall
be removed immediately on the requisition of the Engineer and shall not again
be employed on the work.
The contract may assigned only upon written consent of the Board.
(b) PROGRESS OF THE WORK - Unless hereinafter otherwise specified -the.
Contractor will be required to commence the herein specified work within
ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Board's certificate to the
contract and shall diligently prosecute the same.to completion within the '
time limit provided.
(c) CHARACTER OF WORKMEN - If any subcontractor or person employed by
the Contractor shall fail. or refuse to carry out the directions of the
Engineer or. shall appear to the Engineer to be incompetent or to act in a
disorderly or improper manner, he shall be discharged immediately on the

the work.
(d) TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF WORK - The Engineer shall have the authority
to suspend the work.wholly. or in part, for such period as he may deem neces-
sary, due. to unsuitable weather, or to such other conditions as are considered
unfavorable for the suitable prosecution of the work, or for such.time as he
may deem necessary, due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to
carry out orders given, or to perform any provisions of the work. The Con-
tractor shall immediately obey such orders of the Engineer and shall not
resume the work until so ordered in writing by the Engineer.
(e) TIME OF- COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES --The Contractor shall
complete the work called for under the contract in all parts and requirements

The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a statement with his progress
payment showing the number of calendar days charged to the contract during
the period covered by the payment, and the remaining number of calendar days
to complete the contract. The Contractor will be given ten (10) calendar
days from the date of the progress payment to file written protest setting
forth in what respects the' statement of calendar days consumed is incorrect,
otherwise the statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Con-
tractor as correct.
It is agreed by the parties to the contract that time is of the essence
of the contract and that in case all the work called for under the contract
is not completed within the number of calendar days. as set forth in the con-
tract, damage will be sustained by the Board and that it is and will be
impracticable to determine the actual damage which the Board will sustain in
the event of and'by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that the .
Contractor will pay to the Board,, as agreed and liquidated damages, and not
as a penalty'the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per day for each
and every working day's delay in finishing the work in excess of the number
of calendar days prescribed in the contract or by authorized extension
_ thereof; and the Contractor agrees to pay such liquidated damages as herein

deduct. the amount thereof from any money due or that may become due the
Contractor under the contract.
It is further agreed that in case the work called for under the contract
is not finished and completed in all parts and requirements within the time
specified, the Board shall have the right to increase the num-
ber of working days for completion, or not, as may seem best to serve the
interest of• the. Board; and if it decides to extend the number of working days
for the completion of the contract, it shall further have the right to charge
the Contractor, his heirs, assigns or sureties, and to deduct from the final
payment for the work, .all or any part, as it may deem proper, of the actual
cost.of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses
which are directly chargeable to the contract, and which accrue during the
period of such extension; except that the cost of final surveys and prepara-
tion of final estimate shall not be included in such charges.

cost of engineering and inspection during any delay in the completion of the
work caused, by acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of the Board,
acts of the public.utilities, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions,
strikes,, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays necessarily
resulting from war .or national or local emergencies, or delays of subcon-
tractors _due..to such causes; provided, that the .Contractor shall within ten
(10) calendar days from-the beginning of any such delay notify the Engineer
in writing of the causes of delay, who shall ascertain the. facts and the
extent of the delay,_ and his findings of the facts thereon shall be final
and conclusive.
. (f) SUSPENSION OF CONTRACT - If at any time in the opinion of the En-
gineer.the_ Contractor has failed to supply an adequate working force, or
material of proper quality, or has failed in any other respect to prosecute
the work with the diligence and force specified and intended in and by the
terms of the contract, notice thereof in writing will be served upon him, and
should he neglect or refuse to provide means for a satisfactory compliance

suspend the operation of the contract. Upon receiving notice of such suspen-
sion, the Contractor shall discontinue said work, or such parts of it as the
Board may designate. Upon such suspension, the Contractor9s control shall
terminate, and thereupon the Board or its duly authorized representative
may take possession of all or any part of the Contractor9s materials, tools,
equipment, and appliances upon the premises, and use the same for the
purpose of completing said contract, and hire such force and buy or rent
such additional materials and supplies at the Contractor9s expense as may
be necessary for the proper conduct of the work and for the completion
thereof; or may employ other parties to carry the contract to completion,
employ the necessary workmen, substitute other machinery or materials, and
purchase the materials contracted for, in such manner as the Board may deem
proper; or the Board may annul and cancel the contract and relet the -work
or any part thereof. Any excess of cost arising therefrom over and above
the contract price will be charged against the Contractor and his sureties,
who will be liable therefor. In the event of such suspension, all money
due the Contractor or retained under the terms of this contract shall be
forfeited to the Board; but such forfeiture will not release the Contractor
or his sureties from liability for failure to fulfill the contract. The
Contractor and his sureties will be credited with the amount of money so.
forfeited toward any excess of cost over and above the contract price, arising
from the suspension of the operations of the contract and the completion of
the work by the Board as above provided, and the Contractor will be so
credited with any surplus remaining after all just claims for such completion
have been paid.

stability of the various structures. Beneath all structures, space exca-
vated without authority shall be refilled with Class "C" concrete or gravel
by the Contractor at his own expense.
(h) ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION •- It is expected that satisfactory materials
for foundations will be found at the elevation shown on the Plans, but in
case the materials encountered are not suitable or in case it is found
desirable or necessary to go to additional depth or width as the Engineer
_ may direct, additional excavation so ordered, and concrete or gravel
ordered for filling such additional excavation, will be paid for as here-
° inbefore outlined for extra work under Section 0-4.
(i) CLEARANCE FOR STRUCTURES - The excavation for all structures
shall be sufficient to leave at least six (6) inches in the clear between
their outer surfaces and the embankments or timbering which may be used to
protect them.
(j) BLASTING - The Engineer shall have the right to limit the use of
explosives anal or to order discontinuance of the use of any methods in this
connection which, in his opinion, endanger any part of existing structures
or public or private property of any character. No blasting will be

` (1) DISPOSAL OF MATERIAL - laterial excavated shall be disposed of in.
backfilling, making fills, and grading around the work as may be directed
and to the lines and grades given by the Engineer. No excavated material
shall be dumped near enough to the work to cause pressure against newly
placed or set masonry.
No surplus material shall be dumped cn private property unless written
permission si by the owner of t'_e property is first secures: by the Contractor.
No actra payment for removal of excess material will be made as such,
and any cost in connection therewith shall be included in the bid for ex-
cavation as set forth in- the proposal.
(m) BACIFILLING - No backfilling shall be placed against concrete
walls until the walls have been inspected and approved by the Engineer.
Any shoring shall be carefully and completely removed as the backfilling
progresses.
The material used for backfill shall be free fron debris or other
foreign material, and shall be placed in uniform layers of thickness as
specified hereinafter, each layer to be moistened and thoroughly compacted

ceeding eight inches in thickness, and otherwise as specified above.
All lumber, rubbish and braces shall be carefully removed from a x.-
cavations, unless ordered left in place by the Engineer. Unless otherwise
specified, all excavations shall then be backfilled up to the original
surface of the ground or to such grades as shall be directed. The back-
filling shall be done as completely as possible in such manner as to pre-
vent aftersettlement. Around all structures, the trenches and excavations
shall be thoroughly wet down with water while the backfilling is being
placed.
-46-
All backfilling of trenches shall be done in such a manner as not to
disturb the pipe, conduit .or other structure. In all cases, the back-
filling around pipe shall be.:carried up to the top of the pipe by hand
with selected materials or sand free from large stones or lumps and
thoroughly compacted while being placed with the aid of an approved
tamping device.
The trench shall then be backfilled to the surface in layers not to
exceed 19" in depth, properly wetted and tamped in a manner approved by
the Engineer. A 'IV" notch shall then be excavated in the fill and the
fill settled with water and backfilled to grade.
Where sheeting is drawn, all cavities remaining in or adjoining the
trench shall be solidly filled. Where sheeting is left in place, all
cavities behind such sheeting shall be solidly filled.
Excess material shall be rounded up in a neat mound over the trench
or removed as directed by the Engineer.

embankments.
Prior to placing any fill or embankments, supporting a structure,
the area over which fill or embankment is to be placed shall be cleared
of all debris, holes or pits, and holes or pits shall be backfilled and
tamped thoroughly with earth from the site. The area shall then be
plowed to a depth of not less than 12 inches, the surface of the ground
restored to approximately its original contour by blading or other method
and then compacted.by sprinkling and rolling with a sheeps foot roller.
The fill or embankment shall be constructed in- layers approximately
parallel to the finished grade. The layers shall be evenly spread to a
depth of not over 8 inches and shall be'uniform as to material, density,
and moisture content. Iviaterial placed in the embankment in piles or
windrows shall be moved by blading or similar method, breaking up clods
-47-
or lumps. Water shall be evenly applied to secure a uniform moisture con-
tent for maximum compaction throughout each layer. Then each layer shall
be immediately compacted by sheeps foot rolling to a uniform density of
not less than 95 per cent.

TOP-LOADING TRUCK HUMS - For concrete mixed in top--loading., truck
mixers, each batch shall be turned not less than forty (40) and not more
than one hundred fifty (150) revolutions of the mixer drum at mixing speed
when the fine and coarse aggregate are charged into the mixer simultaneously
(cement and water may be charged separately). When the fine and .coarse aggre-
gate are charged into the mixer separately, each batch shall be turned not less
than sixty (60)and not more than one hundred fifty(150) revolutions of the drum
at mixing speed.
ELD-LOADING TRUCK HIXER_S - For concrete mixed: in end-loading truck
mixers, each batch shall be turned not less than sixty (60) and not more
than one hundred fifty (150) revolutions of the mixer drum at mixing speed
when the mixer is loaded in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the gross
drum volume as provided hereinafter. When the mixer is loaded not to exceed
fifty percent (50%) of the gross drum volume, the provisions specified
for top-loading truck mixers will apply.
CAPACITY •- Truck mixers shall be loaded in accordance with manufac-
turer's capacity ratings, but in no case shall the volu,-me of mixed concrete
exceed fifty percent (50%) of the gross volume of the drum for top-loading
mixers and fifty-eight percent (567o) of the gross volume of the drum for
end-loading truck mixers.
MIXING SPEED - shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommenda-
tions, but in no case shall the speed be less than 4 r.p.m. or greater than
a speed resulting in a peripheral velocity of the drum of two hundred
twenty--five (225) feet per minute. The power unit shall be equipped with
a governor to .insure constant speed.
-53-
CONTROL - Each truck mixer shall be equipped with a device for
counting the .nomber of revolutions of the drum, which device shall be
interlocked so as to prevent the discharge of concrete from the drum before
the required number of turns. After the drum is once started, it shall be
• revolved continuously until it has cmapletely discharged its batch. I--later
shall not be admitted to the mix until the drum has started revolving. The
right is reserved to increase the required minimum number of revolutions or
to decrease the designated maximum number of revolutions allowed if nec-
essary to obtain satisfactory mixing, and the contractor will not be
entitled to additional compensation because of such increase or decease.
(4) HAND.-!,= CONCIRETE - When neoeesary to mix by hand, a water-
tight platform. shall be used and ingredients shall be turned together at
least six (6) times, and until they are homogeneous in appearance and color.

Bolt holes shall be filled with dry pack mortar, well tamped into holes.
Grout for spreading over the surfaces of construction joints shall
consist of water and cement mixed in the ratio of not to exceed seven (7)
gallons per sack with sufficient sand adder: to produce the desired work--
ability of the mass.
Particular care shall be exercised in placing cement mortar or grout
since it will be expected to furnish structural strength or an impermeable
water seal or both. Cement mortar or grout 'that has not been placed within
thirty (30) minutes after mixing shall be wasted.
Grout used in setting machinery and equipment shall consist of a
moist mixture of one (1) sack of cement to one (1) cubic foot of sand
to one hundred (100) pounds of Miaster Builders 111kbeco" carefully worked

and rigidly.braced and in sufficient number shall be provided so that the
work may be prosecuted rapidly. Forms, centering, cores and molds shall
be so constructed that the finish concrete will conform to the shapes,
lines, grades, and dLmersions indicated on the drawings. No form shall be
used which is not clean and of proper shape and strength and in every way
suitable. Deformed, broken or defective forms shall be removed from
-54-
the work. Before placing concrete, the forms shall be coated with vaseline,
form grease, or other suitable substance, to prevent adherence of concrete.
All forms and form lumber once used shall be thoroughly cleaned and cortact
surfaces recoated before again being used.
Plywood forms shall be used for all surfaces exposed to view in the
finished structure whether inside or outside of any structure. Channels
and tank walls backfilled with dirt may be formed with lined forms.
The contact surface of all unlined forms, unless otherwise specified,
shall be constructed of 5/f3-inch or 3/4 inch five ply Douglas fir plywood
made with a waterproof glue and especially manufactured for concrete
formwork. Full sized sheets of plywood must be used except where smaller
pieces will cover an entire area. All horizontal and vertical joints shall
be backed solidly to prevent leakage and the edges of abutting sheets shall
be nailed to the sarae stud or blocking with 6d box nails not farther apart
than eight (8) inches.
The contact surface of lined forms shall be non-warping fibre board
not less than three-sixteenths (3/16) inch in thickness, or one-quarter
(1/4) inch plywood, securely nailed to the form sheathing. Fill lining
material shall be used in as wide pieces as possible. The boarding for
lined forms may be horizontal or vertical depending upon convenience.
Form sheathing shall be securely nailed to studs and so spaced as to prevent
any bulging of the lining.
Steel forms or steel--reinforced plywood forms made by a reputable
manufacturer may be substituted for any of the above form.-work.
All studding shall be of not less than 2" x 4" lumber and studding
and wales shall be of sizes and spacing approved by the Engineer, 'cut in
no case more than 24" O.C. Wales shall be formes. of (rouble 2" x 4" lumber
as a minimum.
_ All wall forms shall be tied together by means of approved wall ties
on not greater than two (2) foot centers vertically and horizontally.
_ The approved form tie shall be of such design that when the forms
are removed, no metal shall be within three--fourths (3/4j inch of any
surface. They shall not be fitted with any lugs, cones, washers, or
any other devices to act as a spreader within the form which will leave
a hole larger than seven-•eighths(7/8) inch in diameter in the exposed
surface of the concrete. Wire ties will not be permitted. . Holes in the
forms for ties shall not allow leakage during pouring.
The tops of wall and corbel forms shall .be stiffened by means of
2" x 4" or 2" x 6" plates.
No forms on any part of the work shall be struck without the consent
of the Engineer.
-55-
All formwork shall be securely braced, supported or othen-PLse held
in place in such manner as to prevent any bulging surfaces on the feces
of finished concrete work and as required to prevent any movement or
"slipping" of formwork. No concrete shall be poured until all forms have
been thoroughly checked for alignment, level and strength. All cracks or
openings at joints in formwork which are one-eighth (1/8) inch or more
in width shall be closed by tightening the forms- or by filling with an.ap-
proved crack filler or putty.
(p) CONVEYING CONCRETE - Concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer
to the place of final deposit by methods which will prevent the separation
or loss of the materials.
Equipment for chuting, pumping and pneumatically conveying concrete
shall be of such size and design as to insure a practically continuous flow
of concrete at the delivery end without separation of the materials. Chutes
and devices for conveying and depositing concrete shall be so designed and
used that the concrete shall be directed vertically downward when discharged
from the chute or conveying device.
Chutes for conveying concrete shall be kept thoroughly cleaned by
washing and scraping upon the completion of any days pour.
(q) PLACING CONCRETE - No concrete shall be placed without the
prior.approval and direct supervision of the Engineer. The contractor
shall notify the Engineer, by written memorandum. of his readiness to place
concrete in any portion of the work. This notification shall be such time
in advance. of the operation as the Engineer deems necessary for him to
make final inspection of the preparations at the location of the proposed
concrete placing.
Concrete shall be placed in approximately horizontal layers not to
exceed twenty-four (24) inches in depth and the concreting shall be carried
on in a continuous operation, within the limits of practicability, until
the placing in the course, section, panel, or monolith is completed. Con-
crete shall be deposited. at or near its final position to avoid segregation
caused by rehandling or flowing. No concrete shall be dropped freely into
place from a greater height than five (5) feet. Tremies shall be used
for placing concrete where the drop is in excess of such height.
Concrete in structures shall be placed with the aid of approved
mechanical vibrating equipment. Vibration shall be transmitted directly
to the concrete; in no case shall it be transmitted through the forms.
The vibration shall be sufficiently intense to cause the concrete to flow
or settle readily into place and to visibly. affect the concrete over a
radius of at least eighteen (18) inches. Vibration shall be supplemented
by manual forking or spading adjacent to the forms on exposed faces in
order to secure smooth, dense surfaces. The concrete shall be thoroughly
consolidated around reinforcement, pipes, or other shapes built into the
work.
-56-
Sufficient vibrators shall be on hand at all times to vibrate the con-
crete as placed. In addition to the vibrators in actual use while concrete
is being placed, the contractor shall have on hand two (2) spare vibrators
that are in serviceable condition. No concrete shall be placed until it
has been ascertained that all vibrating equipment will be in serviceable
condition for the duration of the placing operation.
Special care shall be taken to place the concrete solidly against the
forms so as to leave no voids. Every precaution shall be taken to make
all concrete solid, compact, and smooth, and if for any reason the surfaces
have voids or are in any way defective, such concrete shall be repaired as
directed by the Engineer. ' No defective work shall be patched or repaired
without the prior inspection and approval of the EEngineer. The repair shall
be with cement mortar applied by such methods as will produce a satisfactory
bond with concrete in place and finished in a neat and workmanlike manner
to match as closely as possible, the color and texture of the adjacent work.
Defective work shall be removed if required by the Engineer.
Concrete shall not be placed until all reinforcement is securely and
properly fastened in its correct position, and loose form ties at construc-
tion joints have been retightened, nor until all dowels, bucks, sleeves,
hangers., pipes, conduits, bolts, wires, and any other fixtures required to
be embedded therein have been placed and adequately anchored, nor until the
forms have been cleaned and oiled as specified. No concrete shall be laid
during rainstorms. Concrete placed immediately prior to rainstorms shall be
protected to prevent the water from coming in contact with it. Sufficient
protective covering shall be kept on hand at all times for this purpose.
Concrete placing shall continue without avoidable interruption, unless
otherwise specified, until the predetermined limit of the placement has been
attained. The placement of concrete in wall forms shall not proceed at a
faster rate of rise than six (6) feet per hour when the temperature is 70
degrees F. and at a lesser rate of rise for lower temperatures, as approved
by the Engineer.
The placement of concrete for slabs or beams cast monolithically with
walls or columns shall not commence until the concrete in the walls or
columns has been allowed to set and shrink. The time allowed for shrinkage
shall be not less than six (6) hours.
Placement of concrete on slopes shall commence at the bottom of the
slope.
Placing of concrete in which initial set has occurred or placing of
retempered concrete will not be permitted.
(r) WATIMMIGHTNESS OF CONCRETE IVOPK - Watertight concrete is required
in all class. "A" concrete structures. Any cracks or imperfections develop-
ing at any point in the work shall be repaired as specified above.
(s) JOINTS AND BONDING - As far as practicable the concrete work shall
ba constructed as a monolith. The location of contraction, construction,
-57-
and other ,joints are shown on the plans or specified herein. In order to
preserve the strength and watertightness of the structures, no other joints
shall be made except as the Engineer may direct or approve. At construction
joints, the .concrete in place shall be thoroughly cleaned of iaitance, grease,
oil, mud, dirt, mortar droppings or other objectionable matter by means of a
bushing hammer or sand blasting after which the surfaces shall be washed
just prior to the succeeding pour. Upon resuming concrete placing operations,
a bed of grout not less than one (1) inch in thickness shall be thoroughly
spread over -the entire surface. Keyways on vertical joints shall be set to
extend into subsequent sections of the construction as shown on the plans.
Floor slabs in the area of their juncture with walls shall be washed
free of sawdust, chips and other debris after wall forms are built and
immediately before the concrete placement. Should formwork confine sawdust,
chips, or other loose matter in such manner that it is impossible to remove
them by flushing with water, a vacuum cleaner shall be used for their re-
moval after which the cleaned surfaces shall be flushed with water. A clean
out hole shall be cut at the base of each wall or column for inspection and
cleaning.
All expansion joints shall be one (1) inch clear space between con-
crete structures when poured and this one (1) inch space shall be entirely
filled with one (1) inch thick sponge rubber preformed expansion joint
material as manufactured by Servicised Products Company. Expansion joints
in water bearing walls and slabs shall be made water tight by also having
twenty-six (26) ounce copper bellows type water seals formed and installed
as detailed on the .plans.
All contraction joints shall have twenty-six (26) ounce copper water
seals formed and installed as detailed on the plans.
All construction joints in water bearing walls or slabs, or in walls
below the ground water table shall have a flat twenty-six (26) ounce copper
water seal twelve (12) inches wide embedded six (6) inches into each con-
crete pour. All reinforcing steel shall be run continuously through con-
struction joints unless specifically shown on the plans to be otherwise.
r Metal seals shall be fastened in place so as to prevent their disloca-
tion while concrete is being placed. Care shall be taken to place the seals
straight and in true alignment and to protect them from any damage before
the adjoining pour is made. Special care shall be exercised to insure the
concrete is well consolidated around and against the metal seals.
Seals of any type, in any location, shall be spliced by crimping or
crimping and. soldering in such manner as to make them absolutely water-
tight. r
The contractor shall schedule his pouring in such manner as to complete
any single dayts pour to a construction, contraction or expansion joint.
(t) INSERTS - Pipes, anchor bolts, steps, casings, and other inserts,
as shown on the plans, shall be encased in the concrete, unless otherwise
-58-
noted. Dovetail anchors or ties shall be used in conjunction with the slots
or inserts for the various materials as specified under their respective
sections, and as may be necessary for the required work.
(u) FINISHING - Cavities produced by form ties and concrete surfaces
requiring repair shall be thoroughly cleaned, saturated with water, and carefully
filled and pointed with cement mortar as specified herebefore under "COINCRETF."
Such finishing shall occur immediately following the stripping of forms so
as to incur the least possible delay in commencing the curing of the con-
crote as specified under "CARE OF NEW WORK". No other concrete finish is
required for formed surfaces except as noted below.
All exposed walls shall have all fins and projections removed. Joints
shall be left smooth by grinding if necessary; however, it will not be nec-
essary to remove form marks if the joints are smooth.
Floors with drains shall be properly sloped toward drains.
The tops of walls shall be steel troweled. Top edges of coping walks,
and walls, if not otherwise required, shall be finished with a one (lj inch
radius edger, the flanges of which shall be ground to a knife edge to pro-
duce as little burr as possible. Remaining burrs on the lower side of the
finished radius, after the form has been removed, shall be rubbed off and
the surface left smooth.
Jointing where indicated or directed shall be carefully done with a
jointing tool.
(v) CARE OF NEW WORK - All surfaces of concrete for water-bearing
structures shall be kept constantly and visibly moist day and night for a
period of.not less than seven (7) days and nights beginning immediately
upon removal of forms. 'Each two (2) days the forms remain in place, up to
a maximum of six (6) days, shall count as one (1) day of water curing.
No further curing credit will be allowed after contact has once been
broken between concrete surface and forms. Ties shall not be loosened.
All exposed surfaces of concrete for non-water bearing, structures
shall be cured by covering slabs with waterproof curing paper and seal-
ing all edges and leaving forms in place for seven (7) days followed by
application of water by means of sprinkler nozzles or sprays, keeping the
.concrete constantly moist for a period of one (1) day and night.
Supports and forms for struts, beam, and floor or roof slab soffits
shall remain in place for at least seven (7) days after concrete has been
placed for any concrete which carries its own weight only. For concrete
members carrying additional or live loads, the Engineer shall determine
when forms may be removed.
-5c-
In lieu of continual curing by moisture of water bearing concrete,
the Contractor may substitute a combined process covering of the con-
crete, using spray nozzles for one full day and immediately thereafter
spraying concrete with an approved waterproof curing compound. The use
of any such substitution method must be first requested by the Contrac-
tor in writing and approved by the Engineer.

ing on the wall thickness. All circumferential seams shall be butt welded
from the exterior and when required from the interior as well, using single
are electrodes for each such weld. All seams shall be welded by an approved
shielded arc process which .protects the weld metal from the atmosphere while
cooling and which assures full fusion with the parent metal and complete
penetration.
(c) ENDS OF PIPE SECTIONS Standard ends of pipe sections
and specials shall be bell and spigot, rubber gasket type, as shown on the
drawings or approved by the Engineer and other ends where called for on
the drawings shall be of the following types or equal:
(1) ENDS FOR MECHANICALLY COUPLED FIELD JOINTS - Ends
for Dresser type couplings shall be plain with the weld bead ground flush
outside for the required distance back from each end. For Victaulic type
couplings, ends shall be banded, grooved or provided with grooved nipples.
For bolted joints, ends of sections shall be swaged if required.

. section shall be swaged out to form a caulking bell. It shall be enlarged
sufficiently to secure a caulking space approximately 5/8 in. wide (at its
greatest width) by 4-1/2 in. long. There shall be a secondary enlargement
beyond the caulking space to provide a centering socket for the spigot or
plain end which shall permit. the latter to enter approximately. l in. beyond
the caulking space.
The caulking bells shall be formed hot, in one operation, using a -die_
or dies which assure that the bells as made will be uniform and round.
After swaging, the end of the bell shall be reinforced by shrinking on
and tack welding a steel ring of the proper diameter. The steel bar from
which the ring is made shall have appropriate cross-sectional dimensions
ranging between 3/161, x 111 and 1/211 x 311, depending on the pipe diameter.
(3) PLAIN ENDS FITTED WITH FLANGES - Ends to be fitted

p.s.i.
(2) INTERIOR LINING - The cement mortar shall be applied
to the inside of each section of pipe by means of troughs- or retracting feed
lines while the pipe is rotated with its axis in a horizontal position. This
initial application shall produce a uniform longitudinal distribution through-
out the length of pipe. Then the pipe shall be rotated at a speed which
will uniformly distribute the mortar around the inside circumference of the
pipe and produce a dense-, smooth and uniformly compacted lining. During the
