Specifications and Drawings
These Specifications and Drawings made a part hereof are
intended to be mutually cooperative and that which is shown
and specified in one and not in the other shall be considered
as shown and specified in both. Should a conflict exist
between the Specifications and Drawings, Contractor shall
request the Company to determine which governs. Contractor
shall request such determination prior to execution of the
Agreement and his failure to do so will be his consent to be
bound by Company's later determination.

and become familiar with the site or route of the proposed
facility and to acquaint himself thoroughly with all condi-
tions likely to be encountered in performing the work.
1.6
Insufficient Instruction
If, in the opinion of the Contractor, any work shown on the
Drawings or called for by these Specifications is insuffi-
ciently specified or specified in such a manner as to make it
impossible for Contractor to produce first class work, he
shall refer same to the Company before proceeding with the
work.
1.7

given thereon, request extra work or make changes by altering,
adding to, or deducting from the work. Contractor will be

after completion of work.
1.16 Independent Contractor
It is agreed that the Contractor is an independent contractor
with full power and authority to select the means, methods and
manner of performing the work hereunder in accordance with the
Specifications. Contractor is responsible to the Company only
for the results herein contracted and for the faithful
completion of the work.
Company shall not have or exercise control of supervision over

the opinion of the Company, incompetent or not qualified to
performed the work he is engaged in or is performing any work
in an unsafe manner.
1.17 Materials, Tools, and Equipment Furnished by Company
Company shall furnish only those materials, tools, and equip-
ment listed in Section IV of the Specifications. All

be checked by both Company and Contractor for quantity and
condition upon receipt thereof by the Contractor. A written
record of such receipt, quantity, and condition shall be kept
by Contractor on Company's prescribed form. Contractor is
responsible for the care and safekeeping of all material
signed over to him. Should Contractor find, after his accep-
tance, Company furnished materials, tools, and equipment to be

and in strict conformity with the Specifications. The Company
shall have the right to require the Contractor, at his
expense, to remedy or replace work determined by Inspector to
be defective.
1.21 Assi~nabilit~
Contractor shall not assign, sublet, or subcontract wholly or
in part any work hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Company. Any sublettin§ by Contractor of any part of
the work covered hereby shall not relieve Contractor of any
responsibility for the proper performance of the work under
the Specifications. All provisions of the Specifications
shall remain binding against Contractor to the same extent as
though no subletting had occurred. Any request for subletting
I-5
shall be made to the Company in writing and it shall be the
complete responsibility of the Contractor to bring any
intentions of subletting to the attention of the Company as
soon as the Contractor determines that any such subletting is
necessary or desirable.
1.22 WarrantS
The Contractor warrants all equipment and materials furnished
by it and all work performed by it under this Agreement
against defective design (except design furnished by the
Company), materials, and workmanship for a period of one year
from and after Final Acceptance, as Final Acceptance is
defined in Paragraph 1.3 above, regardless of whether the same
were furnished and performed by the Contractor or by any of
its subcontractors of any tier. Upon receipt of written
notice from the Company of a breach of warranty during the
applicable warranty period, the affected items shall be
redesigned, repaired or replaced by the Contractor; and the
Contractor shall perform such tests as the Company may require
to verify that such redesign, repairs, and replacement comply
with the requirements of this Agreement. As to the
redesigned, repaired or replaced work, the Contractor warrants
such redesigned, repaired or replaced work against defective
design, materials, and workmanship for a period of one year
from and after the date of acceptance of such work. The
Company reserves the right to have such repair or replacement
work done when it deems advisable. All costs incidental to
redesign, repair, replacement and testing (including labor,
the removal, replacement, reinstallation of equipment neces-
sary to gain access, the repair or replacement of damage to
the work and the project resulting therefrom) and all other
costs incurred as the result of a breach of warranty shall be
borne by the Contractor. Should the Contractor fail to
promptly make the necessary repairs, replacement, and tests,
the Company may perform or cause to be performed the necessary
work at the Contractor's expense. If an item of material
carried a manufacturer's guarantee for a period other than one
year, the manufacturer's guarantee shall be in force for the
period stated.
The above warranties are not intended as a limitation but are
in addition to all other express warranties set forth in this
Agreement and such other warranties as are implied by law,
custom, and usage of trade.
1.23 Project Work Schedule
Before commencement of the work, the Contractor will provide
the Company a project work schedule divided into at least as
many activities as are shown on the Uniform Bid Sheet. The
schedule shall be suitable for use by the Company to deter-
mine, at any point in time, if the project is capable of
I-6
completion within the total number of calendar days specified
in the Uniform Bid Sheet. The schedule shall be updated as
necessary to show any change in the forecasted completion of
any of the activities listed.
1.24 Delays
If the Contractor is responsible for a delay causing the work
to be more than seven calendar days behind schedule and will
be unable, in the Inspector's opinion, to complete the work on
time, the Contractor shall, upon written notice by the Company
and without any additional cost to the Company, work such
overtime and utilize such additional equipment as may be
necessary to complete the work by the specified date. If the
Contractor fails to perform the work at a rate which, in the
opinion of the Inspector, will insure the completion by the
specified date, the Company may provide for additional con-
tracting needed for the timely completion of the work by
whatever means or method it may deem expedient. The extra
cost above contract cost of such additional contracting shall
be deducted from the Contract price and, should the cost
exceed the total proposal price, the difference shall be paid
by the Contractor to the Company. If the Contractor is
delayed by the Company's failure to provide materials or site
for the work, the Company agrees to reimburse the Contractor
for his actual costs, based on the rates in the Uniform Bid
Sheet, for such men and equipment that cannot be utilized
during such a delay. The Inspector and the Contractor's
representative will itemize all costs incurred by such a delay
and a change order will be issued each day in which these
costs are incurred.
1.25 Extension of Time
Should Contractor be delayed in the prosecution or completion
of the work by the act, neglect, delay, or default of the
Company, then any such delay shall not be deemed a default by
the ContractBr in the performance of his obligation hereunder.
The period for the completion of the work shall be extended
for a period equivalent to that lost by reason of the afore-
said causes, such causes and period of extension to be
determined by the Company. No extension shall be allowed
without written request for such being presented to the
Company within three days after the period of delay commences.
1.26 Shutdown Due to Strike or Labor Dispute
Company shall not be liable to Contractor for any expenses,
charges, or delays which Contractor might sustain or become
liable for on account of work being suspended because of a
strike, boycott, picketing or labor dispute.
If picketing occurs at any place on, or leading to, the work
site, other than at the gate or gates reserved for the use of
I-7
Contractor, its subcontractors (at whatever tier) and the
employees or suppliers of any of them, and if, in the opinion
of Company (which shall be final), it appears that such
picketing:
1. Has resulted from the award of this contract to Con-
tractor (or any of its subcontractors, at whatever tier);
and
2. That such picketing is in violation of the National Labor
Relations Act, as amended;
then, upon appropriate notification from Company, Contractor
shall use all reasonable, lawful means available (including
legal recourse) to stop such picketing, at the sole cost,
risk, and expense of Contractor.
Absence of any such notification from Company shall not
deprive Contractor of its rights to take any such action on
its own as in its judgment it may deem appropriate.
1.27 Force Majeure
In the event of either party's being rendered unable wholly or
in part by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under
the Agreement, then on such party's giving notice and full
particulars of Force Majeure in writing to the other party as
soon as possible after the occurrence of the cause relied on,
the obligation of the party giving notice, so far as affected
by such Force Majeure, shall be suspended during the continu-
ance of any inability so caused, and such inability shall not
be a breach of the Agreement, and such party shall not be
liable for damages or otherwise on account thereof.
The term "Force Majeure" as employed herein shall mean acts of
God, hurricanes, earthquakes, fire, flood, malicious mischief,
insurrection, strikes, (except as noted in 1.26 above), riot,
war (declared or undeclared), landslides, washout, explosion,
epidemics, compliance with any federal, state or municipal law
or with any regulation, order, rule or recommendation of any
governmental agency or authority acting under claim or color
of authority, total or partial failure or loss of all or any
part of transportation facilities ordinarily available to and
used by a party hereto in the performance of the obligations
imposed by the Agreement, or any cause whatsoever beyond the
control of either party thereto, whether similar to or
dissimilar from the causes herein enumerated. Any delay
caused by Force Majeure shall automatically extend completion
date by a corresponding length of time.
1.28 Company's Right of Termination
Company shall have the right at any time to cancel the Agree-
ment or any portion thereof upon giving ten days' notice in
I-8
writing to Contractor. In such event, Contractor shall be
entitled to full payment for the work done up to the time of
such cancellation, provided that satisfactory evidence is sub-
mitted to Company that all bills and claims in connection with
the work have been satisfactorily discharged. Contractor, in
such event, shall be reimbursed by Company for expenditures
required in preparing for and removing to and from the work
and for such expenditures which, in the judgment of the
Inspector, are not otherwise compensated for; the intent being
that an equitable settlement be made for Contractor under such
circumstances.
If the work to be done under the Agreement shall be abandoned
by Contractor, if the Agreement shall be assigned or the work
sublet by Contractor otherwise than is provided for herein, if
Contractor shall be adjudged as bankrupt or shall be insol-
vent, if a receiver of the business or any part of the
property of Contractor shall be appointed on account of the
Contractor's insolvency, if Contractor shall refuse or fail to
supply sufficient, properly skilled workmen, equipment,
supplies, or materials to perform the work, or if Contractor
shall disregard laws, ordinances, or violate any provision of
the Agreement, Company may, without prejudice to any other
right or remedy, by giving five days' notice in writing to
Contractor, terminate the Agreement and Contractor shall
discontinue any further work thereunder.
In the event of such termination, Company shall have the right
and power to complete the work by whatever method it may deem
expedient. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled
to receive any further payments until all the work is com-
pleted and accepted. In case such expense of completing the
work shall exceed the amount which would have been payable
under the Agreement if same had been completed by Contractor,
Contractor shall pay the amount of such excess to the Company.
In case such expense shall be less than the amount which would
have been payable under this Agreement had same been completed
by the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled to such
difference provided all expenses, claims and damages shall
have been satisfied.
1.29 Payment of Bills
In the event Contractor fails or refuses to promptly and
satisfactorily pay for all labor performed and all materials,
tools, equipment, utilities, facilities, and supplies
furnished in connection with the work, Company may, after
giving written notice thereof, pay and settle such just and
reasonable claims for account of Contractor and deduct amount
of such payment from invoice payments to Contractor.
I-9
1.30 Indemnity

and all claims, expense (including attorneys' fees), loss, or
damage arising from any cause whatsoever out of the work to be
performed under this Agreement whether in tort, contract,
strict liability, or otherwise, and whether arising before or
after Final Acceptance, and Contractor shall defend Company at

and laying of pipe shall be used, and work shall be performed in
such manner as to minimize damages.
2.3 Markin9 of Existin9 Lines
The Contractor shall be responsible for locating and adequately
marking the existing pipeline(s). The Contractor shall place
stakes or similar markers at a spacing which will provide an
accurate plot of the pipeline's path through the right-of-way.
The markers shall be spaced close enough to assure safe excava-
tion of the new ditch without any risk of damage or rupture to
the existing line. Careful marking of the existing line is
essential since it will be in service while the new ditch is
being excavated adjacent to the existing line.
Any damage to the existing line during excavation of the new
ditch will be repaired at Contractor's expense and to the Inspec-
tor's approval. In addition, all costs associated with such
damage (such as spill cleanup, crop damages due to spills, etc.)
will also be borne by the Contractor.
2.4 Strin~in9 and Unloadin~ of New Pipe
Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with,
and shall furnish all necessary labor, equipment and supplies to
store, and string on right-of-way all material required for the
work. The pipe will be delivered on site. Cost of delivery will
be incurred by the Company. The contractor will be responsible
for and will incur the cost of unloading the pipe on site. If
the pipe is shipped to a point other than the job site, at the
request or for the convenience of the Contractor, the expenses of
such action shall be borne by the Contractor.
When Contractor takes custody of the pipe from the Company (i.e.,
when a pipe tally and material custody transfer is complete), a
note wiql be made as to the number of damaged bevels, number of
defective joints, and number of joints with damaged or defective
coating. Satisfaction of the above requirements is the Contrac-
tor's responsibility and is necessary for later reimbursement to
the Contractor for rework of damaged material.
If materials are transferred to the Contractor damaged, Company
will either repair these materials at its expense or wi,ll request
Contractor to make repairs and reimburse Contractor for such work
per the Wage Rate Schedule and Equipment List.
The hauling and stringing of pipe and other materials on the
right-of-way by Contractor shall be performed in such manner as
to prevent damage to materials. Under no circumstances will the
pipe be rolled, pushed, or dropped from the truck during string-
ing. All pipe will be gently lowered from the truck to the
ground using a properly rigged piece of heavy equipment. The
II-2
rigging should be a non-abrasive rubberized canvas sling, suffi-
ciently long and wide so that no metal part can touch the coated
pipe. However, an equivalent, company approved device may also
be used in lowering the pipe from the truck to the ground.
Contractor shall prevent entrance of dirt or debris into pipe
during stringing, and pipe should not be dragged behind tractors
or trucks.
Stringing of pipe on right-of-way shall be done in such a manner
as to cause least interference with the normal use of the land
and gaps shall be left at intervals to permit the use of the
land.
Should excess pipe remain upon completion of the project, the
contractor will be requested to haul said pipe to a company
designated location.
Contractor shall promptly repair all bridges, private roads,
fences, buildings, or other property damaged by it in the pro-
gress of work. Written permission must be secured from owner
before private roads or bridges are used. Such written permis-
sion will be obtained by Company.
2.5 Ditching
Equipment and General Methods - Contractor shall use such equip-
ment and methods as required to excavate the ditch to the stake
line established, regardless of the type of soil encountered and
regardless of the depth of excavation necessary. All ditching
and other excavations shall be in compliance with applicable
portions of the Code of Federal Regulations - Title 29,
Subpart P, "Excavation, Trenching and Shoring," and all local,
county, state, federal and railroad regulations in effect.
Shoring - The sides of all excavations in which employees are
exposed to danger from moving ground shall be sloped in
accordance with OSHA 2226. If such sloping is not feasible,
shoring shall be used. Such shoring, bracing, or underpinning
shall be inspected daily or more often, as conditions warrant.
Stakes - Contractor shall carefully preserve all stakes set by
Company and shall be liable for any extra expenses because of its
failure to maintain such stakes.
Ditch Specifications - Minimum depth of cover shall be three and
eight tenths (3.8) feet and shall be measured from the top of the
pipe to the lowest level of the original ground level on the two
sides of the ditch.
The bottom of the ditch shall be cut to a uniform grade. Loose
dirt shall not be allowed to fall into the ditch.
II-3
The ditch shall be graded to pass under all pipelines, ditches,
or other obstructions and as specified by the Inspector. The
ditch shall be graded to allow a minimum clearance of twelve
(12") inches between the pipe and other pipelines or underground
structures except drain tile. However, where twelve (12") inches
of clearance is impracticable, the clearance may be reduced if
adequate provisions are made for corrosion control as determined
by Inspector.
When rock, gravel, and/or soil unsuitable for use as top soil is
encountered, the Contractor shall remove top soil before removing
the rock, gravel, and/or unsuitable soil. The undesirable
material and top soil shall be placed in separate spoil banks.
Backfilling shall be done in a manner that all top soil will be
placed back in its original location. Under no circumstances
shall top soil be mixed with undesirable materials.
In areas where sufficient rock is encountered, or where Inspector
deems necessary, Contractor at his own expense will pad the ditch
with sand; or a dirt pad free of rocks, hard clods, or foreign
material at fifteen (15') foot intervals sufficient to support
the pipe six (6") inches above bottom of the ditch. The pipe
will be covered with dirt free of rock a depth of six (6") inches
above the pipe. All unsuitable backfill material shall be
disposed of at Contractor's expense.
If suitable dirt for padding is not readily available along the
pipeline right-of-way, then the Contractor, at his expense, shall
provide and haul in from off right-of-way, sufficient quantities
of padding materials as may be required. In no case will dirt be
procured by sloping the shoulder of the ditch. Backfilling will
be done in accordance with the Technical Specifications, Section
2.10.
Spoil Bank - The spoil bank from the ditching operations shall
not be allowed to fall on any loose debris or foreign matter that
might become mixed with the soil excavated from the ditch.
Hand-Ditch Requirement - In any location where, in the opinion of
the Company, the use of ditching equipment may result in unneces-
sary damage or injury to property crossed by the right-of-way,
Company may require the ditch to be excavated by hand at Contrac-
tor's expense.
Protection of Ditches - Contractor shall protect all trenches or
ditches with signs, barricades, guardrails, lanterns, flares and
other equipment as required by law and by an ordinarily prudent
person to protect employees of Contractor, employees of Company,
and third persons from injury to person or property. Addition-
ally, Contractor shall comply with any city, county, state, and
federal regulations relative to the placing of danger signals,
lights or flares.

cooperate with X-ray company on all tests.
Procedure Qualification - Contractor shall have a weld made and
tested for each size category of pipe furnished by Company.
Procedure and qualification shall be recorded on Pipe Line
Standard T-5, "Welding Procedure." Company approval of the
welding procedure is required. Procedures not approved by
Company may not be used.
Welder's Qualifications - Contractor shall use only competent,
skilled, and qualified workmen, and all work shall be completed
to the satisfaction of the Inspector. Each welder employed by
Contractor shall be required to satisfactorily pass the welding
test at the expense of the Contractor before being allowed to
weld on the job. Contractor may allow preliminary practice welds
prior to test weld; however, Contractor will reimburse Company
for the pipe used during practice welding.
Alignin9, Tacking, and Weldin9 - All adjoining lengths of pipe
are to be accurately aligned and spaced before welding as speci-
fied in API Code 1104.
All welds are to be cleaned free of slag between each pass
through the use of a power grinder. The completed weld shall be
free from pinholes, non-metallic inclusions, air pockets, under-
cutting, and/or any other defects, as specified in API Code 1104.
Any welds containing any of these defects will be cut out and
rewelded at Contractor's expense.
Defective or Damaged Pipe - Should laminations or split ends be
discovered in the pipe during the process of welding, such
laminations or split ends shall be cut out and beveled before
placing in the line.
II-5
If ends of the pipe are damaged to the extent that satisfactory
welding contact cannot be obtained, pipe shall be cut and beveled
to satisfaction of Inspector. The cost of beveling any joint
shall be borne by Contractor unless it is determined that the
damages occurred prior to the Contractor's accepting the custody
of the pipe with such defects being clearly noted on the pipe
tally signed by the Contractor's representative and the Company's
representative at the time of material custody transfer. This
note shall contain the type of damage {example, bad bevel or
buckle) and the footage of pipe rendered useless because of the
damage.
No repair welding shall be performed on the longitudinal seams of
any pipe.
Weather Conditions - Welding shall not be permitted when weather
conditions are unsatisfactory and would impair the quality of
welds. No welding shall be done if, in the opinion of Inspector,
the high winds, rain, snow, dust, or sandstorms are of sufficient
magnitude to prevent satisfactory welding. The Contractor shall
bear all shutdown and associated costs due to bad weather. Bad
weather shall be defined as weather which, in the opinion of the
Inspector, prevents satisfactory welding or impairs the quality
of work. Suitable wind guards shall be provided by Contractor in
windy weather at Contractor's expense. Preheating will be done
when the temperature of the pipe in the area of the weld is less
than 40 degrees F. at the time of welding. A welding area of 3
inches on either side of the intended weld shall be preheated by
Contractor to not less than 200 degrees F. prior to welding. All
costs associated with preheating welds shall be borne by the
Contractor.
Linin9 Up of Longitudinal Seams - The pipe to be used for con-
struction of the line may have a longitudinal seam with an
external upset. If there are such seams, the longitudinal seams
shall be staggered at "ten o'clock" and "two o'clock" positions,
and welded sections or single lengths shall be assembled in such
manner that the longitudinal seams shall remain on the top half
of the pipe after lowering into ditch. In bends, the longitudi-
nal seam shall be in a plane at right angles to the bend.
2.8 Protective Coatin9
General - Contractor shall be responsible for coating all field
joints and locating and repairing all holidays and construction
damage. Field coating shall consist of Protecto Wrap No. 1170
primer and Protecto Wrap No. 310 tape, or Company approved equal,
furnished by Contractor. Any coating materials which, in
Company's opinion, show evidence of deterioration because of
weathering or any other cause may be rejected by Company. All
coating shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's
instruction.
II-6
The joints within the concrete coated pipe will be field coated
with the above specified material. The joint wire will then be
tied as shown on the included Pipeline Standard ML-8. After the
wire has been tied, the joints will be formed and grouted with
3000 lb. grout.
Cleanin9 - In preparation for the application for primer, pipe
shall be cleaned until free from all loose mill scale, rust
scale, corrosion, pipe coating, dirt, grease, moisture or other
foreign material with a wire brush and then with a non-flammable,
volatile solvent. Coating shall be applied immediately after the
solvent has dried.
Primin9 and Tapin9 - The primer shall be applied immediately
after the cleaning operation in a thin, uniform coating, leaving
no drips or runs and covering the entire surface of the pipe.
Freshly primed pipe shall be supported so that it will not come
in contact with dirt and weeds. After the primer coat has set,
the primed area shall be spiral wrapped with one layer of tape,
applying sufficient tension on the tape to provide a firm, smooth
bond to the primed pipe. Tape shall be applied with each wrap of
tape overlapping the previous spiral by i inch. Spiral wraps
shall overlap the existing coating a minimum of 3 inches on each
end. The spiral shall be started and ended with a wrap which is
square with the length of the pipe. Tape shall not be applied at
temperatures below the minimum application temperatures recom-
mended by the manufacturer. All pipe which is primed shall be
wrapped the same day.
Care and Handling of Coated Pipe - Coated pipe shall be handled
at all times with wide, nonabrasive, rubberized canvas belts or
other equipment approved by the Inspector. The use of tongs,
bare pinch bars, chain slings, rope slings, canvas or composition
belt slings with protruding rivets, pipehooks, or any other
handling equipment found to be injurious to the coating or the
bevel shall not be permitted. Yard-coated pipe shall be unloaded
and handled in such a manner as to protect the coating from
damage at all times.
After field joints have been coated, the entire line, excluding
the concrete coated pipe, will be tested with a holiday detector
furnished and operated by the Contractor in a manner acceptable
to the Inspector. The Inspector will specify the voltage setting
of the holiday detector prior to jeeping. All coating defects
indicated by the holiday detector, damaged areas, and holes in
the coating shall be repaired by the Contractor at the Contrac-
tor's expense. The coated and wrapped line shall be immediately
lowered into the ditch. Coating damage shall be noted on the
material transfer when pipe is signed for. Any damage noted
shall be paid for by the Company. Any damage not noted shall be
repaired at the expense of the Contractor.
II-7
Repairs - All holidays and damaged coating shall be repaired by
removing all loose coating materials and cleaning and applying
primer and tape as described in those sections. When making
repairs, the tape should overlap the damaged area by I inch. A
full wrap of tape should be made around the circumference of the
pipe and the ends of the tape should overlap each other by 3
inches.
2.9 Lasin9 and Lowering-In
Closing Ends of Line - The open ends of the line shall be
securemy closed at the end of each day's work to prevent the
entrance of water, small animals, trash or any other obstructions
and shall not'be opened until work is resumed.
Lowerin9 and Obtaining Slack - The line may be lowered into the
ditch following radiographic testing of every weld, joint coating
operations and after holiday detection. No slack loops will be
permitted in the pipeline. The Contractor may employ any accept-
able means of lowering, provided that such means will secure the
necessary amount of slack uniformly distributed in the bottom of
the ditch and does not injure the pipe or protective coatings.
When lowering the line into the ditch, the Contractor shall
support the pipe so as to provide for necessary slack. Before
lowering pipe into the ditch, all skid marks and other damaged
places shall be repaired. Excess slack, if any, shall be removed
by the Contractor by cutting out as requested by the Inspector
and rewelding the resulting two ends of the line together. A
nonabrasive, rubberized canvas sling, sufficiently long and wide
so that no metal part can touch the coated pipe, or a wheel with
rubber tires shall be used in lowering all coated pipe sections.
The necessary amount of slack must be obtained without injury to
the protective coating. Coating which is injured in handling or
lowering pipe shall be repaired by the Contractor at his expense.
In removing the sling, a bell hole shall be dug if necessary so
that no part of the sling will damage the coating.
2.10 Installation of Test Leads
The Contractor will supply all labor, equipment and materials
necessary to install the Company provided test leads (2).
Installation shall be accomplished by means of cad weld using an
inspector approved charge.
The pipe surface shall be cleaned and roughed with a rasp to
provide a good bonding surface. The leads shall be placed on the
top side of the pipe. Having completed the weld, the Contractor
shall insure sufficient bondage has resulted and the rough edges
of the weld will be smoothed by means of a rasp. The area of
damaged coating will then be primed and coated as per Section 2.8
of the Technical Specifications.
II-8
2.11 Backfillin9 and Cleanup
Approval by Company's Inspector - No ditch shall be backfilled
unless the pipe has proper depth, fit, and a proper dirt pad.
The Inspector's approval must be obtained before backfilling any
section of ditch. Manual backfilling shall be used where mech-
anical equipment, if used, would damage property.
All backfill shall be crowned directly over the ditch to a height
not less than 8 inches nor greater than 14 inches above the
adjacent ground surface. The earth on both sides of the pipeline
ditch shall be graded in a manner satisfactory to the Inspector.
Backfill shall be maintained by the Contractor until the Company
assumes operating responsibility as defined.
Disposal of Rock - Rock taken from the ditch may be replaced,
providing no rock is piled on top or near the top of the ditch in
such a way as to add to the difficulties of plowing, cultivating,
or grading. All surplus rock removed from the ditch shall be
disposed of by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the
Inspector at the Contractor's expense. In all areas, the final
appearance of the right-of-way after final cleanup must be the
same as the general surrounding terrain. No rock will be left
protruding from the surface within the ditch area along the
right-of-way.
Site inspections by the Inspector will determine whether
excavated material is suitable for backfill. If it is determined
unsuitable, the material will be removed from the site at the
expense of the Contractor.
Backfill on Slopin9 Ground - When backfilling hillsides or
sloping ground, Contractor shall provide furrows or terraces
across the pipeline ditch as requested by Inspector to direct the
flow of water into natural drainage courses and away from the
pipeline ditch.
Backfillin9 Over Coated Pipe - Backfilling shall be accomplished
in a manner approved by Inspector such that no rocks, hard clods,
or other hard objects will be permitted to fall on the coated
pipe; the pipe shall be covered with 6" of sand or suitable
material before any rocks or hard objects are put into the ditch.
The Contractor shall, at his expense, provide additional
compaction as needed to minimize settling of backfill.
No Trash to be Thrown into Ditch - Throwing of foreign substances
or refuse of any kind into ditch will not be permitted. All such
materials and refuse must be removed from the right-of-way, by
the Contractor, to the satisfaction of the Inspector.
II-9
Cleanup of Right-of-Wa~ - As soon as backfill is completed,
Contractor shall immediately clean up the right-of-way, removing
all defective materials and disposing of all refuse, to the
complete satisfaction of the Inspector. Insofar as possible, the
earth on both sides of the pipeline ditch which has been
disturbed during the construction of the pipeline shall be
smoothed up and left in a condition satisfactory to the landowner
and the Inspector.
Cleanup of Storage Points - Contractor shall clean up all storage
places where pipe and other materials have been stored.
Negotiations with Property Owners - Should the Contractor make
separate negotiations with individual landowners for items above
the normal amount of cleanup or construction, he shall obtain a
written release on Company's form from the landowner and tenant
as soon as these negotiations are satisfied. A copy of the
executed release will be given to the Company before the work
begins.
2.12 Testin~
Hydrostatic Testin~ - All hydrostatic tests will conform to API
RP 1110 "Recommended Practice for the Pressure Testing of Liquid
Petroleum Pipelines." The replaced section will be the only part
hydrostatically tested. The hydrostatic test will be conducted
prior to installation.
Contractor will supply all necessary pumps, labor, fuel, lubej
valves, piping, fittings, scrapers, pig sigs, and any other
equipment necessary to fill and test the 100 foot. Fresh water
will be the test medium. Water for testing the line shall be
furnished by Contractor from a source approved by Inspector.
The Contractor, at no expense to the Company, is to take any
necessary steps to prevent water in exposed piping from freezing
when hydrostatic testing is being performed in cold weather. The
Contractor will be responsible for any damage done by freezing
water in exposed piping.
The Contractor will furnish and lay the necessary temporary
piping to supply the main line fill pump. Contractor will remove
all temporary facilities after testing.
During the hydrostatic test, pressure gauges, pumps, meters, and
any equipment which will be damaged by the test pressure shall be
protected by blinds or caps by the Contractor. Contractor shall
remove all blinds or caps installed by same at the completion of
the hydrostatic test.
Equipment affecting the accuracy of the measurements used to
validate the specified test pressure will be designed to measure
the pressures to be encountered during the hydrostatic test~
Contractor will furnish the following equipment for conducting
the hydrostatic test:
II-10
a) A high volume pump capable of filling the line.
b) A meter capable of measuring line fill.
c) A variable speed, positive displacement pump capable of
pressurizing the line at least 100 psi in excess of the
specified test pressure. The pump should have a known
volume per stroke and should be equipped with a stroke
counter. The pump shall have no bypass valve.
d) A large diameter Bourdon pressure gauge with a pressure
range and increment divisions necessary to measure antic-
ipated test pressures.
e) A deadweight tester certified for accuracy and capable of
measuring increments of I psi.

g) Two glass laboratory thermometers, with a 3-inch immersion
capability, capable of measuring temperatures from 30
degrees F to 120 degrees F.
h) A temperature recorder with charts and ink.
Contractor is to conduct filling operation in a manner which
prevents the intrusion of air into the test segment. Contractor
will provide Company-approved vents to permit the purging of
trapped air.
Hydrostatic test pressure for the section being tested shall be
1800 psi.
The test segment will be pressurized at a moderate and constant
rate. When approximately 70 percent of the specified test
pressure is reached, the pumping rate will be regulated to
minimize pressure variations and to ensure that increments of no
greater than 10 psi may be accurately read and recorded. The
pressure record will be installed in parallel with a deadweight
tester and will be checked prior to the test, during, and after
the test.
The pressure will be raised to the maximum test pressure,
stabilized, and allowed to stand for 4 hours without
repressuring. After test pressure is reached and observed to be
stabilized, the pressure and temperature recorders will be
started, using charts in real time orientation.
Pressure will be monitored and recorded continuously during the
duration of the test. All tests and checks will be recorded.
During the course of the test period, the pressure will not vary
more than that caused by temperature variation.
II-Il
Contractor will cooperate with the Inspector on the gathering of
data during the test. At the conclusion of the test, Contractor
will sign, date, and note the time on all the charts and turn
them over to the Company. Contractor will also assist the
Inspector in preparing a testing report on a form furnished by
Company. Both the Inspector and the Contractor will sign the
charts and test reports.
Contractor shall bear the cost and be responsible for locating
