This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less than one percent (1 %) of the corporation stock.

It is still possible, however, for a contractor to make tax -free purchase of tangible personal property, which will be incorporated into and become part of a City construction project through the use of a "separated contract" with the City. A "separated contract" is one, which separates charges for materials from charges for labor. Under such a contract, the contractor becomes a "seller" of those materials, which are incorporated into the project, such as bricks, lumber, concrete, paint, etc. The contractor issues a resale certificate in lieu of paying the sales tax at the time such items are purchased. The contractor then receives an exemption _ certificate from the city for those materials. (This procedure may not be used, however, for materials, which do not become a part of the finished product. For example, equipment rentals, form materials, etc. are not considered as becoming "incorporated" into the project). Utilization of this "separated contract" approach eliminates the need for bidders to figure in sales tax for materials, which are to be incorporated into the project. The successful bidders bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the 3.7 Standard Specifications Supplementary Conditions tax exemption. Upon execution of the construction contract, the contractor shall furnish a breakdown (per item) of 1) materials incorporated into the project; and 2) labor, equipment, supervision and materials not incorporated into the project.

If underground obstructions are encountered during installation, the Contractor shall have the option of removing the obstruction if possible or relocating the helical pier. _ This latter option may require the relocation of adjacent piers. PART 6 — TERMINATION OF INSTALLATION Helical piers shall be installed to the minimum torque value as shown on the manufacturer's shop drawings. A. The maximum installation torque shall at no time exceed the torque rating of the helical pier shaft as specified for the project. B. The minimum depth of installation shall be as shown on the manufacturer's shop drawings provided the top helix is located at least five (5) feet below the surface. If the installer can not achieve the depth the engineer should be contacted before proceeding further. C. The pier installation shall be terminated provided the minimum installation torque and minimum depth requirements have both been satisfied. 1. If the minimum torque requirement has not been satisfied at the minimum depth level, the Contractor shall have the following options: a. Install the pier deeper using additional plain extension material until the specified torque level is obtained, or b. Remove the existing pier and install a pier with larger and/or more helices. This revised pier shall be installed at least three (3) feet beyond the termination depth of the original pier. C. Add additional piers as recommended by engineer. 2. If the maximum torque rating of the pier and /or installing unit has been reached prior to satisfying the minimum depth requirement, the Contractor shall have the following options. a. Terminate the installation at the depth obtained with the approval of the Engineer, or b. Remove the existing pier and install a pier with smaller and/or fewer helices. This revised pier shall be installed at least three (3) feet beyond the termination depth of the original pier. PART 7 — CONNECTION BEAM BRACKET A. The helical pier shall be connected to the structure using an A.B. Chance Company (or approved supplier) approved steel bracket. B. This connection device shall be capable of safely transferring the structural loads to the helical pier. 6-15 Technical Specifications 7 PART 8 — INSTALLATION RECORDS Written installation records shall be obtained for each helical pier. These records shall include, but are not limited to the following: A. Project name and/or location A. Name of Contractor B. Name of Contractor's foreman or representative who witnessed the installation C. Date and time of installation D. Location and reference number of helical pier E. Descriptions of lead section and extensions installed F. Overall depth of installation as referenced from bottom of boardwalk beam G. Torque readings for the last three (3) feet of installation if practical. In lieu of this requirement, the termination torque shall be recorded as a minimum. I. Any other applicable information relating to the installation PART 9 — HELICAL PIER TESTING Testing shall be required only if specified on the manufacturer's shop drawings to ensure the design tension and bearing capacity, or if so warranted by unusual subsurface conditions. A. Testing, if required, shall be performed in accordance with approved procedures and specifications. B. The number and location of the test(s) shall be determined based on site and subsurface conditions. It may be practical to test a production pier. C. The test equipment shall be capable of applying a compression load equal to the greater of the pier's, ultimate capacity or the safety factored load (usually 200% of the design working load as indicated on the manufacturer's shop drawings). This safety factored load shall be determined prior to testing. D. If the compression test requires additional helical anchors for reaction piers, these anchors shall be installed to the same torque requirements as the helical test pier. E. The helical pier shall be tested to the greater of the safety factored load or its ultimate capacity. The ultimate capacity shall be defined as the maximum load the helical pier can sustain without continuous movement. F. Acceptance criteria including load versus displacement shall be established prior to testing. G. Test records shall include the following: 1. Items as outlined in Section VIII of this Specification 2. Magnitude of applied load and corresponding displacements 6-16 Technical Specifications �I r PART 10 -MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS - A.
