supplies or services. 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. Any violation of this prohibition will
constitute malfeasance in office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof
should thereby forfeit his office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the
knowledge, expressed or implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City
shall render the contract voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The
CONTRACTOR represents that no employee or officer of the City has an interest in the
CONTRACTOR.

Contract Documents. Failure to make these examinations shall in no way relieve any
BIDDER from the responsibility of fulfilling all of the terms of the contract, without
additional cost to the OWNER.
6.2 Information and data reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to Underground
Facilities at or contiguous to the site is based upon information and data furnished to the
OWNER by owners of such underground Facilities or others, and the OWNER does not
assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. All existing structures,
improvements, and utilities shall be adequately protected, at the expense of the
CONTRACTOR, from damage that might otherwise occur due to construction operations.
Where construction comes in close proximity to existing structures or utilities, or if it
becomes necessary to move services, poles, guy wires, pipe lines, or other obstructions, it
shall be the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to notify and cooperate with the utility or
structure OWNER. The utility lines and other existing structures shown on the plans are for
information only and are not guaranteed by the City to be complete or accurate as to location
and/or depth. It shall be the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to verify locations and depths
sufficiently in advance of construction such that necessary adjustments may be made to allow
for the proper installation. The CONTRACTOR shall be liable for damage to any utilities
resulting from the construction of this project.
6.3 Before submitting a Bid, each BIDDER will, at BIDDER's own expense, make or obtain any
additional examinations, investigations, explorations, tests and studies and obtain any
additional information and data which pertain to the physical conditions (surface, subsurface
and underground facilities) at or contiguous to the site or otherwise which may affect cost,

thereto and other lands designated for use by CONTRACTOR in performing the Work are
— identified in the Contract documents.
6.6 The submission of a Bid will constitute an incontrovertible representation by BIDDER that
BIDDER has complied with every requirement of this Article 6, that without exception the
Bid is premised upon performing and furnishing the work required by the Contract
Documents and such means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction
as may be indicated in or required by the Contract Documents, and that the Contract
Documents are sufficient in scope and detail to indicate and convey understanding of all
terms and conditions for performance and furnishing of the Work.
1 -8 Bidding Documents
7. Interpretations and addenda.
7.1 All questions about the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents are to be directed to the
Purchasing Agent. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by the Purchasing
Agent in response to such questions will be issued by Addenda mailed or delivered to all
BIDDERS recorded as having received the Bidding Documents. Questions received less than
two days prior to the date for opening of Bids may not be answered. Only questions
answered by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or
clarifications will be without legal effect. Each BIDDER shall acknowledge on the bid
proposal that all Addenda issued have been received.
7.2 Addenda may also be issued to modify the Bidding Documents as deemed advisable by the
OWNER.
8. Contract Time.
8.1 The time for completion in calendar days should be included on the Bid Form in the space
provided. Completion time will be a strong factor in the award of this project. All work
shall be complete within the calendar day count required by the CONTRACTOR's Proposal.
The calendar day count shall commence ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Notice to
Proceed.
8.2 Prior to the issuance of the Notice to Proceed by the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR shall
submit a detailed Progress and Schedule chart to the OWNER for approval.

10. Substitute or "Or- Equal" Items.
The Contract, if awarded, will be on the basis of materials and equipment described in the
Drawings or specified in the Specifications without consideration of possible substitute or
"or- equal" items. Whenever it is indicated in the Drawings or specified in the Specifications
that a substitute or "or- equal" item of material or equipment may be furnished or used by
CONTRACTOR if acceptable to ENGINEER, application for such acceptance will not be
considered by ENGINEER until after the Effective Date of the Agreement. No substitutions
should be considered during the bidding process.
1 -9 Bidding Documents
11. Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Others.
11.1 If the OWNER requests the identity of any Subcontractors, Suppliers, or other persons or
organizations to be submitted to the OWNER in advance of the specified date prior to the
Effective Date of the Agreement, the apparent Successful BIDDER, and any other BIDDER
so requested, shall within seven (7) days after the request submit to the OWNER a list of all
such Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and organizations proposed for those
portions of the Work for which such identification is requested. Such list shall be
accompanied by an experience statement with pertinent information regarding similar
projects and other evidence of qualification for each such Subcontractor, supplier, person or
organization if requested by the OWNER. If the OWNER, after due investigation, has
reasonable objection to any proposed Subcontractor, Supplier, other person or organization,
the OWNER may, before the Notice of Award is given, request the apparent Successful
BIDDER to submit an acceptable substitute in which case the apparent Successful BIDDER
shall submit an acceptable substitute. BIDDER's Bid price may be increased (or decreased)
by the difference in cost occasioned by such substitution, and the OWNER may consider
such price adjustment in evaluating Bids and making the contract award.
If the apparent Successful BIDDER declines to make any such substitution, the OWNER
may award the contract to the next lowest BIDDER that proposes to use acceptable
Subcontractors, Suppliers, other persons and organizations. Declining to make requested
substitutions will not constitute grounds for sacrificing the Bid security of any BIDDER.
11.2 No CONTRACTOR shall be required to employ any Subcontractor, Supplier, other person
or organization against who CONTRACTOR has reasonable objection.
12. Bid Proposal.
12.1 Two (2) completed Bid Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope as described in
Item 15. The blank spaces in the Bid Form shall be filled in for each item for which a
quantity is given and the BIDDER shall state the price for which he proposes to do each item
of work. All blanks on the bid form must be completed in ink or typed. No substitutions,
revisions, or omissions from the plans and/or specifications will be accepted unless
authorized in writing by the OWNER. For Alternative I, the CONTRACTOR shall submit
with the Bid Form a plan showing his proposed access pit locations and pipe layout areas.
Plan layout sheets have been included as Appendix B (located at the end of Section 4 of
these Specifications) for this purpose. The number and location of access pits proposed will
be a strong factor in the award of this project.
12.2 The legal status of the BIDDER, that is, as a corporation, partnership, or individual, must be
stated on the Bid Form. A corporation BIDDER must name the state in which the
organization is chartered. Bids which are signed for a corporation shall have the correct
corporate name thereof, its post office address, and the signature of the president or other
authorized officer of the corporation, manually written below the corporate name in the
following manner: "By "
1 -10 Bidding Documents
If the bid is made by an individual, his post office address shall be given. Bids which are not
signed by the individuals making them shall have attached thereto a power of attorney
evidencing authority to sign the bid in the name of the person for whom it is signed.
If the bid is made by a firm or partnership, the name and post office address of the managing
member of the firm or partnership shall be given or the bid may be signed by an attorney -m-
fact. If signed by an attorney -in -fact, there shall be attached to the bid a power of attorney
evidencing authority to sign the bid, executed by the members of the firm or partners.
13. Provision Concerning Escalator Clauses.
Bids containing any condition which provides for changes in the stated bid prices due to
increase or decrease in the costs of materials, labor, or other items required for this project,
may be rejected and returned to the BIDDER without being considered.
14. Estimates of Quantities.
The quantities listed in the Bid Form will be considered as approximate and will be used for
_ the comparison of bids, unless otherwise noted. Payments will be made to the
CONTRACTOR only for the actual quantities of work performed or materials furnished in
accordance with the Contract. The quantity of work to be done and the materials may be
increased or decreased as provided for in the Contract Documents. For Alternative I, the
length of HDPE piping is a baseline quantity, which means the CONTRACTOR will be paid
for that quantity of piping, regardless of the actual length of piping installed.
15. Submission of Bids.
Bids will be received by the Purchasing Agent, and shall be submitted to the Purchasing
Agent, City of Coppell, at the Town Center, 255 Parkway Boulevard, P.O. Box 9478,
Coppell, Texas 75019 until 10:30 a.m., February 10, 2004, and then publicly opened and
read aloud. Two identical copies of the bid enclosed in an opaque sealed envelope and
marked with the Project title, City of Coppell Bid No. Q- 1203 -02 and the name and address
of the BIDDER shall be submitted. If the Bid is sent through the mail or other delivery
system the sealed envelope shall be enclosed in a separate envelope with the notation 'BID
ENCLOSED Construction of Deforest Road Lift Station Improvements Force Main
Lines A & B Project No. SS 99 -01" on the face of it and addressed to the Purchasing Agent,
City of Coppell, Texas.
16. Modification and Withdrawal of Bids.
16.1 Bids may be modified or withdrawn by an appropriate document duly executed (in the
manner that a Bid must be executed) and delivered to the place where Bids are to be
submitted at any time prior to the opening of Bids.
16.2 If, within twenty -four hours after the Bids are opened, any BIDDER files a duly signed
written notice with the OWNER and promptly thereafter demonstrates to the reasonable
1 -I 1 Bidding Documents
satisfaction of OWNER that there was a material and substantial mistake in the preparation
of the Bid, that BIDDER may withdraw his bid. Thereafter, that BIDDER will be
disqualified from further bidding on the work.
17. Rejection of Bids.
Bids may be rejected if they show alterations of form, additions not called for, conditional
bids, incomplete bids, erasures or irregularities of any kind. The OWNER reserves the right
to waive any irregularities in the bids as received and to reject any and all bids without
qualification(s). More than one bid from an individual, firm or partnership, corporation or
association, under the same or different names, will not be considered. Reasonable grounds
for believing that a BIDDER is interested in more than one such bid may cause the rejection
of all bids in which said BIDDER is interested. Bids in which prices are obviously
unbalanced may be rejected.
18. Bids to Remain Subject to Acceptance.
All Bids will remain subject to acceptance for ninety (90) days after the day of the Bid
opening, but the OWNER may, in its sole discretion, release any Bid prior to that date.
19. Award of Contract.
19.1 The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all Bids, to waive any and all informalities
except for the time of submission of the Bid and to negotiate contract terms with the
Successful BIDDER. The OWNER also reserves the right to reject all nonconforming,
non - responsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids. Also, the OWNER reserves the right to
reject the Bid of any BIDDER if the OWNER believes that it would not be in the best
interest of the Project to make an award to that BIDDER, whether because the Bid is not
responsive or the BIDDER is unqualified or has doubtful financial ability or fails to meet any
other pertinent standard or criteria established by the OWNER. Discrepancies in the
multiplication of units of Work and unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit prices.
Discrepancies between the indicated sum of any column of figures and the correct sum
thereof will be resolved in favor of the correct sum.
19.2 In evaluating Bids, the OWNER will consider the qualifications of the BIDDERs, whether or
not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and such alternates, unit prices,
completion time, and other data, as may be requested in the Bid form or prior to the Notice of
Award. Time of completion will be a consideration in the award of the Bid.
19.3 The OWNER may consider the qualifications and experience of any Subcontractors,
Suppliers, or other persons or organizations proposed for those portions of the Work as to
which the identity of Subcontractors, Suppliers, and other persons and organizations must be
submitted as requested by the OWNER. The OWNER also may consider the operating
costs, maintenance requirements, performance data and guarantees of major items of
materials and equipment proposed for incorporation in the Work when such data is required
to be submitted prior to the Notice of Award.
1 -12 Bidding Documents
19.4 The OWNER may conduct such investigations as the OWNER deems necessary to assist in
the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial
stability of BIDDERS, proposed Subcontractors, Suppliers and other persons and
organizations to perform and furnish the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents
to the OWNER's satisfaction within the prescribed time.
19.5 If the Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest and best qualified BIDDER

1.49.2 Conflict of Interest
City Charter states that no officer of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect,
in any contract with the City, nor shall be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the
sale to the City of any land, or rights or interest in any land, materials, supplies or services.
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. Any violation of this prohibition will constitute malfeasance
in office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof should thereby forfeit his
office or position. Any violation of this prohibition with the knowledge, expressed or
implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City shall render the contract
voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The CONTRACTOR represents that no
employee or officer of the City has an interest in the CONTRACTOR.
ITEM 1.58 - STATE AND LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES
SC -1.58
Delete Item 1.58 and substitute the following in lieu thereof
1.58 Recent legislation has removed the sales tax exemption previously provided by Section
151.311 of the Tax Code covering tangible personal property purchased by a
CONTRACTOR for use in the perfonnance of a contract for the improvement of City -
owned realty.
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 bidder's
bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the
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.

equipment, and the fusion procedure used by CONTRACTOR's Fusion Operator
while on site. A bent strap test shall be performed at the beginning of the first day of
fusion and on a weekly basis thereafter. The trial fusion shall be allowed to cool
completely before test straps are cut out and the bent strap is tested in accordance
with ASTM D2657. If the bent strap test of the trial fusion fails at the joint, the field
fusions represented by the trial fusion shall be rejected. CONTRACTOR shall, at his
expense, make all necessary corrections to equipment, set -up, operation, and fusion
procedure, and shall re -make the rejected fusions once a trial fusion has been
accepted.
E. Hydrostatic Leak Testing
CONTRACTOR shall test the HDPE force main once installation is
complete.
CONTRACTOR is responsible for installing any taps or related
appurtenances necessary for hydrostatic testing, including releasing air.
3. Heat fusion joints must be properly cooled prior to testing.
4. Mechanical connections must be completely installed and tightened per

9. Test duration shall not exceed eight (8) hours including time to pressurize,
time for initial expansion, time at test pressure, and time to depressurize the
test section. If the test is not completed due to leakage, equipment failure, or
any other reason, depressurize the test section completely and allow it to
relax for at least eight (8) hours before pressurizing the test section again.
10. CONTRACTOR shall coordinate hydrostatic leak testing with OWNER.
11. Fill test section completely with test liquid. Test liquid shall be water and
shall meet all appropriate industry standards for safety and quality so that the
environment, system, and test equipment are not adversely affected.
12. Gradually pressurize the test section to test pressure and maintain at test
pressure for three (3) hours. During the initial expansion phase, HDPE pipe
will expand slightly. Additional test liquid will be required to maintain
pressure. It is not necessary to monitor the amount of water added during the
I nitial expansion phase.
13. Immediately following the initial expansion phase, monitor the amount of
make -up water required to maintain test pressure for three (3) hours. If the
amount of make -up water needed to maintain test pressure is less than 5.0
gallons per 100 feet of pipe, no leakage is indicated. Regardless of test
results, all visible leaks shall be repaired. If the test cannot be conducted
with the gauge at the lowest point in the system to be tested, a correction
factor of minus 0.43 psi per vertical foot shall be used.
14. At the conclusion of the test, carefully depressurize the test section by the
controlled release of test liquid to the sanitary sewer system.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FORCE MAIN - LINES "A" AND "D"
COPPELL, TEXAS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists constructing two segments of sanitary sewer force main in the City of
Coppell, Texas. The force main segments are designated as Lines "A" and "D ". The
force main alignments are depicted on Figures 1 through 6.
Line "A" will consist of a 20- inch - diameter force main that will extend a distance of
approximately 4,700 feet. It will begin near the intersection of Belt Line Road and
MacArthur Boulevard (Station 0 +69.72), and will extend north along MacArthur Boulevard
to a point approximately 280 feet north of Condor Drive. It will then extend east
approximately 1,080 feet, and then north approximately 240 feet, where it will terminate
(Station 47 +66.68).
Line "D" will consist of a 30- inch - diameter force main that will extend a distance of
approximately 8,700 feet. It will begin at the Sandy Lake Wastewater Lift Station (Station
1 +00) and will extend north /northwest around the Coppell Pump Station to South Village
Parkway (Station 17 +00). It will then extend north along South Village Parkway to
MacArthur Boulevard and then north along MacArthur Boulevard to a point approximately
100 feet north of DeForest Road, where it will terminate (Station 88 +35).
The force main invert will extend up to 26 feet below the current site grades. The majority
of the sewer will be constructed using open cut construction. However, several sections
will constructed using directional boring to extend the sewer beneath existing roadways
and underground utilities.
1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purposes of this investigation were to evaluate the subsurface conditions along the
force main alignments and to develop recommendations to guide the design and
construction of the sewer. Our scope of work included the following:
1. Borings to evaluate the subsurface conditions along the force main alignments.
2. Recommendations for side slopes for temporary open cut excavations.
3. Recommendations for open trench excavation and lateral earth pressure envelopes
for the design of trench shoring.
4. Recommendations for directional boring.
5. Recommendations for trench backfill.
6. Discussion of potential construction problems, such as groundwater and subgrade
instability.
2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION
Fifteen borings were drilled for drilled for this project to depths ranging from 30 to 40 feet
each. Four borings (Borings B -12 through B -15) were drilled along the Line "A" alignment
and eleven borings (Borings B -1 through B -11) were drilled along the Line "D" alignment.
The boring locations and depths were specified by Turner Collie & Braden. The
approximate boring locations are indicated on the attached Plan of Borings, Figures 1
through 6. The results of the field investigation are presented on the Logs of Borings,
Figures 10 through 26. A key to the descriptive terms and symbols used on the logs is
presented on Figure 27.
The ground surface elevations at the boring locations are indicted at the top of the boring
logs. These elevations were estimated from topographic information presented on the
plan and profile sheets provided by Turner Collie & Braden. The elevations indicated on
the boring logs should be considered approximate.
A truck - mounted drill rig was used to advance the borings and to obtain samples for
laboratory evaluation. Samples were obtained at intermittent intervals with standard, thin -
walled, seamless tube samplers and split -spoon samplers. The samples were extruded in
the field, logged, sealed, and packaged to protect them from disturbance and to maintain
their in -situ moisture content during transportation to our laboratory.
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed to evaluate the relative density of the
granular soils. The SPT consists of driving a standard 2- inch - daimeter split -spoon
sampler with a 140 -pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. The number of blows
required to drive the sampler a distance of 12 inches is a function of the relative density of
the soil. The SPT results are presented on the boring logs.
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Cone Penetrometer Tests were performed
to evaluate the bearing properties of the shale. This test consists of measuring the
penetration of a 3- inch - diameter cone driven by a 170 -pound hammer falling a distance of
24 inches. The results of the cone penetration tests are presented on the boring logs.
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
The samples recovered during the field investigation were brought to the Terra -Mar
laboratory where they were classified by the project geotechnical engineer. A laboratory
testing program was then implemented to evaluate the pertinent engineering properties of
the soil and rock. Laboratory testing included moisture content, liquid and plastic limit,
hand penetrometer, unconfined compression, and percent passing the No. 200 sieve
tests. The laboratory test results are presented on the boring logs.
4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 STRATIGRAPHY
Descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings, including
descriptions of the various strata and their depths and thickness, are presented on the
Logs of Borings. A brief summary of the stratigraphy indicated by the borings is presented
below. The depths indicated on the boring logs refer to the depth from the ground surface
that was present at the time of the investigation. Boundaries between the various
soil /rock types are approximate.
Generalized geologic soil and rock profiles are presented on Figures 7 through 9. The
profiles provide a general overview of the stratigraphy along the sewer alignment. The
horizontal spacing between the borings shown on the profiles is not to scale. The profiles
illustrate one interpretation of the subsurface conditions between borings. The actual
subsurface conditions between borings may vary from what is shown.
Line "A" — Borings B -12 through B -15 were drilled along the Line "A" alignment. Clay and
sandy clay fill was encountered in Borings B -12 through B -14 to depths ranging from 11 to
12 feet. Fill was not encountered in Boring B -15. The fill was underlain by naturally
occurring clay, which extended to the boring termination depths. The naturally occurring
soil in Boring B -15 consisted of clays to a depth of about 13 feet, shaley clays from 13
feet to 18 feet, and shale from 18'/2 feet to the boring termination depth.
Line "D" — Borings B -1 through B -11 were drilled along the Line "D" alignment. Fill was
encountered in nine of these borings to depths ranging from about 1 to 19 feet. The fill
type was variable, consisting of clays, sandy clays, sands and gravels. The underlying
naturally occurring soils were also highly variable, consisting of both sands and clays.
The sands were typically encountered in Borings B -2, B -4, B -5, B -7, and B -8. Clays were
encountered at the other boring locations. The overburden soils were underlain by shale,
except at Borings B -1, B -10, and B -11, where the borings were terminated prior to
encountering the shale.
4.2 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
The borings were advanced using solid stem augers. This method of boring
advancement allows the observation of groundwater seepage into the borehole. A
summary of the depths that groundwater seepage was observed during drilling is provided
in Table 1.

It is not possible to determine the level of the groundwater level based upon short-term
water level readings in borings. An accurate determination of the level of the groundwater
table would require the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and a water level
monitoring program extending over several months. In addition, the level of the
groundwater table will fluctuate seasonally with variations in the amount of precipitation,
evaporation, and surface water runoff.
5.0 FORCE MAIN CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 EXPECTED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The force main will be constructed using a combination of cut and cover and directional
boring. The subsurface conditions encountered at the proposed force main invert at each
boring location are summarized in Table 2 on the following page.
5.2 TEMPORARY EXCAVATION SIDE SLOPES
The trench excavations should be performed in accordance with OSHA Safety and Health
Standards (29 CFR 1926/1919), Subpart P. The sewer invert will extend deeper than 5
feet below the site grade. It will therefore be necessary to slope the excavation walls or
use temporary bracing to facilitate force main construction.
According to OSHA standards, the stiff to hard naturally occurring clays are classified as
Type A deposits and the sandy clays, shaley clays, and shales are classified as Type B
deposits. The granular soils, soft clays, fill, and soils below the groundwater table or
through which seepage water is encountered are classified as Type C deposits.
For sloped excavations, surcharge loads, such as those resulting from excavation spoil or
equipment, should be placed no closer than 2 feet from the crest of the slope in
accordance with OSHA regulations. In addition, vehicle traffic should be maintained at
least 5 feet from the edge of the slope crest. Open -cut slope excavations should take into
account any existing structures or utilities in order to avoid undermining these features.
The following guidelines are presented to aid in the development of the excavation plans:
1. Surface areas behind the crest of the excavations should be graded so that surface
water does not pond within 15 feet of the crest, nor drain into the excavation.
2. Heavy material stockpiles should not be placed near the crest of slopes. Similarly,
heavy construction equipment should not pass over or be parked within 10 feet of the
crest.
The crest of slopes should be continually monitored for evidence of movement or potential
problems. Freestanding slopes will become less stable when influenced by groundwater
or saturation by rain.

5.3 TRENCH /BORE PIT BRACING
Where site limitations require excavations to have vertical sidewalls, an internal bracing
system will be necessary. For excavations through clays, bracing may consist of steel
sheet piling, timber or steel shoring, or manufactured steel trench braces. A trench shield
consisting of a prefabricated rigid steel unit, adequate to withstand anticipated lateral
pressures, may also be used where lateral movements will not affect the stability of the
existing utilities and roadway pavements.
In areas where excavations will extend into sand (Borings B -4, B -5, B -7, and B -8), driven
sheet piling or some other type of shoring system that maintains continuous shoring
against the soil will be required for trench stability. Depending upon the conditions
encountered during construction, it may also be necessary to dewater the sand deposit in
order to control excavation wall and base stability.
The bracing should be designed for a lateral earth pressure of 40 psf per foot of
excavation height. Surcharge loads and traffic live loads, if present, must be included in the
bracing design. They can be assumed equal to two additional feet of excavation height.
In any areas where open cuts will be performed where structures and /or utilities are
located within the zone extending from the base of the excavation upward at a 1H to 1V
slope, trench shoring (not trench boxes) should be used for excavation support. Hydraulic
shoring struts should be used and installed during excavation as needed to provide full
lateral support near existing structures and /or utilities. Construction monitoring should be
performed to verify that existing structures and /or utilities are not impacted or damaged by
construction operations. The contractor should be required to repair any damage to
structures and /or utilities caused by construction activities.
5.4 TUNNELING CONSIDERATIONS
The subsurface conditions vary along the sewer alignment and at the directional boring
locations. It is expected that directional boring will occur in clays, shaley clays, clay fill,
sands and shale. Dewatering prior to boring operations and /or special boring techniques
will be required to control excavation instability associated with the sand and to prevent
ground loss and subsequent settlement of structures overlying the tunnel. In addition,
hard limestone layers and concretions may be present in the shale that could impede
boring operations.
5.5 EXCAVATION DEWATERING
In areas where the trench excavation will extend through clays, it is expected that collector
ditches can be constructed along the bottom edges of the excavation to intercept and direct
water to collection sumps, where water can be removed by pumping. However, portions of
the force main excavation will extend into water - bearing sand. These deposits should be
dewatered prior to excavation to a depth of at least 2 feet below the bottom of the trench
excavation. A system of wells or well points will likely be required in order to maintain the
trench wall and bottom stability. The dewatering system should be properly filtered to
prevent ground loss due to the pumping of soil fines.
The Contractor should verify the presence and depth to groundwater prior to construction
in order to determine dewatering requirements. The design of the actual dewatering
system required is the contractor's responsibility. This includes the control of tailwater
flow through the backfilled sections of previous utility construction.
5.6 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
A pre- construction condition survey of structures and utilities along the proposed force
main alignments should be performed. The survey should document by pictures and
measurements the condition of buildings, pavements, sidewalks, utilities, and other
nearby structures. A post- construction survey should also be performed to document any
changes in the condition of these structures.
Force main excavations will extend through clays, sandy clays, sands and shales. Trench
excavations through these deposits are expected to be possible with conventional
earthmoving equipment.
5.7 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL
The pipe bedding should conform to the City of Coppell's specifications. The excavated
soils can be used for trench backfill above the pipe bedding material. Use of rock
fragments greater than 6 inches in any dimension should be prohibited, since attaining a
uniform moisture and density without voids would be difficult. Shale fill is not
recommended in settlement sensitive areas since this material will break down over time
as result in settlement. Fill should be placed in maximum 8- inch -thick loose lifts and
uniformly compacted to between 95 and 100 percent of the standard Proctor density
(ASTM D 698).
Clay soils having a PI over 20 should be compacted at a moisture content ranging from 0
to + 4 percent above the optimum moisture content. Granular soils having a PI less than
20 should be compacted at a moisture content ranging from —3 to +3 percent of the
optimum moisture content. Jetting to compact the pipe backfill should not be allowed. In
areas where settlement of the backfill must be closely controlled, the trench excavation
should be backfilled with either cement stabilized sand or flowable concrete having a 28-
day compressive strength ranging between 50 and 200 psi.
6.0 LIMITATIONS
