Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not Tess than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.

LABOR CLASSIFICATION AND MINIMUM WAGE SCALE A. GENERAL. Article 5159a of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, passed by the 43rd Legislature Acts of 1933, Page 91, Chapter 45, provides that any government subdivision shall ascertain the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft or type of workman or mechanic and shall specify in the call for bids and in the Contract the prevailing rate of per diem wages which shall be paid for each craft type of workman. This Article further provides that the CONTRACTOR shall forfeit, as a penalty, to the City, County, or State, or other political subdivision, Ten Dollars ($10.00) per day for each laborer, or workman, or mechanic who is not paid the stipulated wage for the type of work performed by him as set up on the wage scale. The OWNER is authorized to withhold from the CONTRACTOR, after full investigation by the awarding body, the amount of this penalty in any payment that might be claimed by the CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor. The Act makes the CONTRACTOR responsible for the acts of the Subcontractor in this respect. The Article likewise requires that the CONTRACTOR and Subcontractor keep an accurate record of the names and occupations of all persons employed by him and show the actual per diem wages paid to each worker, and these records are open to the inspection of the OWNER.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)) . The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is union or non - union. Union Identifiers An identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" denotes that the union classification and rate have found to be prevailing for that classification. Example: PLUM0198 -005 07/01/2011. The first four letters , PLUM, indicate the international union and the four -digit number, 0198, that follows indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable , i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2011, following these characters is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate /collective bargaining agreement which would be July 1, 2011 in the above example. Union prevailing wage rates will be updated to reflect any changes in the collective bargaining agreements governing the rates. 0000/9999: weighted union wage rates will be published annually each January. Non -Union Identifiers t Classifications listed under an "SU" identifier were derived from survey data by computing average rates and are not union rates; however, the data used in computing these rates may include both union and non -union data. Example: SULA2004 -007 5/13/2010. SU indicates the rates are not union majority rates, LA indicates the State of Louisiana; 2004 is the year of the survey; and 007 is an internal number used in producing the G -3 wage determination. A 1993 or later date, 5/13/2010, indicates the classifications and rates under that identifier were issued as a General Wage Determination on that date. Survey wage rates will remain in effect and will not change until a new survey is conducted. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour s • Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis -Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations • Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 1 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.)

The City requires the use of "megalug" joint restraints. PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF PROPERTY The Contractor shall notify the proper representative of any ProPe reP y pubic utility, corporation, company, or individual not less than seventy -two (72) hours in advance of any work which might damage or interfere with the operation of their facilities along or adjacent to the work. The Contractor shall be responsible for all direct or indirect damage to property of any character resulting from any act; omission, or negligence in execution of the work; form non - execution of the work; or from defective work or materials. When any such damage occurs, the Contractor shall restore the affected property to a condition at least equal to its condition prior to the damage, or shall fully compensate the property owner. Such restoration shall be at the Contractor's expense, except for pavement and any other items specifically designated in the plans and specifications. The Owner may, upon forty-eight (48) hours written notice (or without notice when a nuisance or hazardous condition occurs), proceed to restore any property damage which the Engineer deems necessary. The cost of such restoration will be deducted from any monies due or to become due to Contractor under this contract. If the Contractor discovers that existing utilities present obstructions to construction of lines or appurtenances, he shall immediately notify the Engineer. The Engineer will determine without delay whether existing improvements should be relocated or whether the grade and/or alignment of the line should be changed. When necessary to move services, poles, guy wires, pipelines, or other obstructions, the Contractor will make necessary arrangements with the owner - operator of utilities. The Owner will not be liable for damages on account of delays due to changes made by owner - operator of privately owned utilities which hinder progress of work, nor will the Owner be liable for cost incurred in relocating utility service poles, service, and appurtenances (unless specifically designated for payment). CLEARING AND GRUBBING Any trees, stumps, brush, roots, logs, rubbish, and other objectionable material in the path of the plant piping shall be removed and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer, without any extra compensation to the Contractor. PIPE HANDLING The Contractor shall unload and store all water pipe according to the manufacturer's specifications. Care shall be taken not to damage the pipe by impaction or point loading. Flexible pipe shall be kept in the shipping bundle until the day of installation. All potable water pipe and fittings shall be stored so as to prevent contamination. TRENCH EXCAVATION 1. General. The Contractor shall excavate the trench to finished grade ahead of pipe laying unless physical conditions make this impractical. Bell holes shall be excavated in advance of pipe laying. The sides of the trench shall be vertical to a point not less than twelve (12 ") inches above the top of the pipe. The sides of the trench shall be between six (6") and eight (8 ") inches outside the pipe for pipe sizes ten (10 ") inches or less; and between eight (8 ") inches and twelve (12 ") inches outside the pipe for sizes larger than ten (10 ") inches. The bottom of the trench shall be shaped to fit the bottom one - fourth (1/4) of the circumference of the pipe. In case the trench is excavated below the proper grade, it shall be refilled to grade with selected material and thoroughly compacted without extra compensation, unless the extra excavation was order by the Engineer. 2. Unstable Soils. If unstable material is encountered at the bottom of the trench, the Contractor shall undercut and stabilize the trench with suitable materials such as shell or cement stabilized sand (one (1) sack cement per ton, or Class I embedment material) at the direction of the Engineer. 3. Locating Intersecting Pipes. Before laying a segment of line, the Contractor shall attempt to locate all utilities which might interfere with the proposed alignment and grade. He shall locate and excavate in advance all water lines, sewer lines, service lines, and appurtenances to which the proposed line will be connected, so that the Engineer can make any necessary adjustments in alignment or grade. The owners of all utilities crossing or closely paralleling the proposed alignment shall be notified at least 72 hours in advance of construction. 4. Dewatering. a. General. Under no circumstances shall the surface water be allowed to flow in the trench. When ground water exists in the trench, the Contractor shall make attempts to drain it away from the pipe laying area or pump it out of the trench. Where necessary in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor shall dewater the trench by the well point method. The Contractor may also use well pointing at his option in other locations. If quicksand or water sand conditions appear in the trench and replace it with Class I embedment material as follows: Angular, t to 1 -1/2 inch grade stone including crushed stone, crushed shells, slag, cinders, etc. Extend Class I embedment material to the spring line of the pipe described in ASTM 2321. b. Trench Dewatering. Trench ch dewatermg is defined as sufficient removal of groundwater to keep an excavation reasonably dry. This means dry enough to eliminate the need for any special bedding; to insure safe installation of the carrier pipe; and to ensure that the workers in the trench are protected in compliance with the approved OSHA requirements. The groundwater table shall be kept a minimum of two feet (2') below the bottom of the excavation. 1. Well Points. Where well points are used to dewater the trench the maximum allowable spacing shall be six feet (6') center to center. The minimum allowable depth of well points shall be equal to the depth of the excavation plus five feet (5'). Well points shall be set deeper if necessary to draw the groundwater down below the bottom of the excavation. Well points shall have metal well screens a minimum of two inches (2") in diameter and three feet (3') long. The well screens and riser shall be surrounded by filter sand up to the water table and the space above shall be sealed with clay. Two inch (2 ") diameter piezometers shall be installed at 250 feet centers to establish the extent that dewatering is necessary. At least one volume of water shall be ejected from the piezometer and then allowed to recharge prior to each groundwater measure taken. 2. Other Methods. Other methods of trench dewatering may be used provided prior approval has been obtained from the Engineer. c. Settlement. Prior to performing any dewatering, the Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to insure that the dewatering operation does not cause structures near the excavation to settle. SHEETING AND BRACING The Contractor shall provide all sheeting and bracing necessary, in the opinion of the Engineer, for the protection of the work, the employees, or any existing utilities or structures. No such sheeting shall be removed from below the springline of the pipe alter the pipe has been backfilled to this level. In the event the soil conditions are such that the Contractor should desire to leave such sheeting in place, he shall secure the permission of the Engineer to do so. The cost of any necessary sheeting or bracing, whether left in place or removed, shall be included in the applicable lump sum and/or unit price of the pipe, and/or the bid price for trench safety. LAYING PIPE The Contractor to set sufficient grade stakes for horizontal and vertical control of all line construction. The Contractor shall, at his own expense, furnish and maintain laser beam control of the pipe laying. Variations in the flow line (for water lines and force mains) will normally be permitted as long as minimum clear cover is maintained as specified on plans, adequate clearance from existing and proposed utilities is maintained, any pipe joint deflection does not exceed manufacturer's maximum allowable recommendation, and unnecessary high points are not created. Joints shall conform to Technical Specification for pipe material. Instructions for jointing pipes with special couplings shall be in strict conformity with the Manufacturer's printed instructions. If a defective piece of pipe furnished and placed by the Contractor in a water line should fail, the Contractor shall furnish at his expense all labor and materials required for removing and replacing the defective pipe and restoring the plant road or other surface to its condition just prior to the failure of the pipe. All sewer cleanouts shall be installed according to the plans and/or attached sketches.

Proportioning of concrete for the required strength shall be based on 28 -day Po g compressive test shall be based on laboratory trail batches performed by an independent testing laboratory meeting the requirements of ASTM E -329 and approved by the Engineer, and/or on the basis of field experience, both as set forth in ACI 318- Latest Edition and this specification. The average compressive strength used as a basis for selecting the proportions shall exceed the specified F'c as required by ACI 31 B. [ 2. Where different materials are to be used for different portions of the work, each combination shall be evaluated separately. 3. Concrete proportions, including water- cement ratio, shall be established on the basis of field experience, or laboratory trial batches, with materials to be employed, as required herein. 1 4. 1.5 lbs of fibermesh per cubic yard of concrete, where noted for use on plans, shall be added to the mixer before placement. Fibermesh is required in all sidewalks. 5. Evaluation and Acceptance of Concrete a. Freauency of Testing. Samples for strength tests of each class of concrete placed each day shall be taken not less than once a day, nor less than once for each 150 cubic yard of concrete, nor less than once for each 5000 sq. ft. of surface area for slabs. On a given project, if total volume of concrete is such that frequency of testing required would provide less than five strength tests for a given class of concrete, tests shall be made from at least five randomly selected batches or from each batch if fewer than five batches are used. When a total quantity of a given class of concrete is less than 50 cubic yards, strength tests may be waived by the Engineer if in his judgment adequate evidence of satisfactory strength is provided. Average strength of two cylinders from the same sample, tested at 28 days or the specified earlier age, is required for each strength test. b. Tests of Cured Specimens. Samples for strength tests shall be taken in accordance with "Method of Sampling Fresh Concrete" (ASTM C -172). 1 Cylinders for strength tests shall be molded and laboratory -cured in accordance with "Method of Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field" (ASTM C -31) and tested in accordance with "Method of Test for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens" (ASTM C -39). Strength level of an individual class of concrete shall be considered satisfactory if both of the following requirements are met: (1) The average of all sets of three consecutive strength tests equal or exceed required strength. (2) No individual strength test (average of two cylinders) falls below required strength by more than 500 psi. c. Investigation of Low - Strength Test Results If any strength test of cured cylinders falls below required strength by more than 500 psi or if test indicate deficiencies in protection and curing, steps shall be taken to assure that load - carrying capacity of the structure is not jeopardized. 4 If the likelihood of low - strength concrete is confirmed and computations indicate that load - carrying capacity may have been significantly reduced, tests of cores drilled from the area in question may be required in accordance with "Method of Obtaining and Testing Drilled Cores and Sawed Beams of Concrete" (ASTM C-42). In such case, three cores shall be taken for each strength test more than 500 psi below required strength. € If concrete in the structure will be dry under service conditions, cores shall be air dried (temperature 60 deg to 80 deg F, relative humidity less than sixty (60%) percent) for seven (7) days before test and shall be tested dry. If concrete in the structure will be more than superficially wet under service conditions, core shall be immersed in water for at least 48 hours and be tested wet. Concrete in an area represented by core tests shall be considered structurally adequate if the average of three cores is equal to at least eight- five (85 %) percent of the design strength and if no single core is less than seventy-five (75 %) percent of the design strength. To check testing accuracy, locations represented by erratic core strengths may be retested. If criteria above are not met, and if structural adequacy remains in doubt, the Engineer may order load tests for the questionable portion of the structure, or take other action appropriate to the circumstances.

Should additional taps be needed to vent the air from high points in the line, they shall be installed by the Contractor at his own expense. The Contractor shall install certified gauges on the line being tested at spacing not to exceed 2000 feet and at the end of the test section. The w under pressure (10 to 50 psi), shall be allowed to stand for a period of not less than ours to allow absorption by the cement lining of the metal pipe before applying the pressure test. During this period, the bulkheads, valves, manholes, and connections shall be examined for leaks and any found shall be sealed. A test pressure of not less than 150 psi shall be applied to valved or bulkheaded sections by means of a hand pump or small power pump. The Contractor shall furnish, install, and operate at his own expense the necessary connection, pumps, meters, and gauges in filling the line and making the test. The water necessary to maintain the test pressure shall be measured through a meter or other means satisfactory to the Engineer. . rr ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE No pipe installation will be accepted until or unless the leakage in the foregoing test is less than the following values (based on nominal diameters, a 24 -hour day, and 150 psi pressure): L = (S x D X (P) ^1/2) / 133,200 Where: L = allowable leakage in gallon per hour _ S = length of pipe tested in feet D = nominal diameter of the pipe in inches P = average test pressure during the leakage test in pounds per square inch The leakage shall be considered the amount of water entering the pipe line during the test, Less the measured leakage through valves or bulkheads. t.. STERILIZATION When repairs are made to existing mains or when new main extensions are provided, they must be disinfected by the Contractor by using enough chlorine or chlorine compounds to fill the repaired or new mains and appurtenances with water containing 50 ppm chlorine. After the water containing this amount of chlorine (which is greater than that normally present in drinking water) has been in contact with the pipe and appurtenances at lest 24 hours, the water shall be replaced with water to be transported normally. Samples of normal water from the new or repaired main shall be submitted to laboratories for the bacteriological examination to be assured that the disinfected procedure was effective.
