1.2 PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Project Identification: 60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation Project
1. General:
a. The City of Richmond (Owner) is in the process of undertaking a significant
rehabilitation effort associated with performing an engineering assessment
and subsequent rehabilitation design of the Marshall Street 60-inch brick
combined sewer (Marshall St) from the corner of Jefferson Avenue and
Marshall Street (upstream) northwest along Marshall Street to the connection
point at the Arch Sewer (downstream), near the intersection of 16th Street and
Marshall Street. Constructed in the mid-1920’s, Marshall St combined sewer
is a critical component of the Shockoe Bottom drainage system, which serves
to prevent flooding in the Shockoe Bottom downtown business district. Since
being put into service over 90-years ago, a significant deterioration of the
brink combined sewer has caused a sinkhole to form near the intersection of
16th Street and Marshall Street.
The project site is located on Marshall Street (from the corner of Jefferson
Avenue to the Arch Sewer, near the intersection of 16th Street) in Richmond,
VA. Combined sewer flows from the Marshall St sewer into the 29’ x 16.25’
Shockoe arch sewer. Additionally, a 54-inch Interceptor (parallel to the
Shockoe arch sewer) can receive additional flow from the Marshall St
combined sewer during wet weather conditions.
Work under this project consists of: the rehabilitation of approximately
1,900 LF of the 60-inch Marshall Street combined sewer, the rehabilitation
of thirteen (13) existing manholes/access shafts, the installation of two new
manholes/access shafts, the replacement of approximately 30 LF of 12-inch
storm sewer, 600 SF of brick replacement/restoration within the combined
sewer, and the verification/abandonment of inactive service connections.
2. The Work includes:
a. Furnishing all the labor, material, superintendence, power, lighting, heating,
fueling, water, tools, equipment, supplies and associated appurtenances
required for the performance and completion of the Work under this Contract.
01 10 00-2
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Summary of Work
b. Maintenance of the Work area.
c. Maintaining service to existing facilities at all times; including the Interceptor;
provide temporary bypass pumping as necessary or required.
d. Protection of finished and unfinished Work.
e. Repair and restoration of Work and/or adjacent facilities damaged during
construction.
3. Implied and Normally Required Work: It is the intent of these Contract Documents to
provide the Owner with complete operable systems, subsystems, and other items of
Work. Any part or item of Work which is reasonably implied or normally required to
make each installation satisfactory and completely operable is deemed to be included in
the Work and the Contract Amount. All miscellaneous appurtenances and other items
of Work incidental the intent of the Contract Documents are included in the Work and
Contract Amount even though these appurtenances may not be specifically called for in
the Contract Documents.
4. Quality of Work: Regard the apparent silence of the Contract Documents as to any
detail, or the apparent omission from them of a detailed description concerning any
Work to be done and materials to be furnished as meaning that only the best general
practice is to prevail and that only materials and workmanship of the best quality are to
be used. Interpretation of these Contract Documents will be made upon this basis.
5. Compliance with Laws: Comply with all local, Stat, and Federal laws, rules,
ordinances, and regulations applicable to this Contract and the Work completed herein.
Obtain all permits, licenses, or other authorization nec4essary for the prosecution of the
Work. The costs for all such permits shall be included in the Contract Amount and no
separate payment will be made therefor.

60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Summary of Work
B. Contractor to Check Plans and Data
1. Verify all dimensions, quantities and details shown on the Plans, Supplementary
Drawings, Schedules, Specifications or other data received from the Engineer, and
notify him of all errors, omissions, conflicts, and discrepancies found therein. Failure
to discover or correct errors, conflicts or discrepancies shall not relieve the Contractor
of full responsibility for unsatisfactory work, faulty construction or improper operation
resulting therefrom nor from rectifying such conditions at his own expense.
2. The Contractor will not be allowed to take advantage of any errors or omissions, as full
instructions will be furnished by the Engineer, should such errors or omissions be
discovered.
C. Unforeseen Physical Conditions
1. Promptly notify the Owner and the Engineer in writing of any subsurface or latent
physical conditions at the site or in an existing structure differing materially from those
indicated or referred to in the Contract Documents. The Engineer will promptly review
those conditions and advise the Owner in writing if further investigation or tests are
necessary. Promptly thereafter, the Owner shall obtain the necessary additional
investigations and tests and furnish copies to the Engineer and the Contractor.
2. If the Engineer finds that the results of such investigations or tests indicate that there
are subsurface or latent physical conditions which differ materially from those intended
in the Contract Documents, and which could not reasonably have been anticipated by
the Contractor, a Change Order shall be issued incorporating the necessary revisions.
D. Specifications
1. The Specifications consist of five divisions, of which part are included. Division 1
contains the General Requirements which govern the work and the administration of
the work.
2. Divisions 3 thru 33 contain the Technical Specifications and are divided into individual
sections, each covering a limited area of the work. Taken together, the individual
sections provide details for all the work to be performed under the Contract. Individual
sections, by themselves, may not necessarily contain sufficient details to complete the
work described in that section. Reference to additional sections of the Technical
Specifications may be necessary to determine the total work required to carry out work
specified in any individual section of the Technical Specifications.
3. It is hereby agreed that failure by the Contractor to advise his subcontractors and
suppliers of the necessity to review the Specifications as a whole, and not as individual
sections, to determine the work required or to be supplied, shall not constitute a basis
for a claim for additional compensation or an extension to the Contract completion
time.
E. Intent
1. All work called for in the Specifications applicable to this Contract, but not shown on
the Plans in their present form, or vice versa, shall be of like effect as if shown or
mentioned in both.
2. Work not specified in either the Plans or in the Specifications, but involved in carrying
out their intent or in the complete and proper execution of the work, is required and
shall be performed by the Contractor as though it were specifically delineated or
described.

3. Extra Work
4. Emergency Work
5. Disputed Work
6. Omitted Work
7. Change Order Procedure
1.2 DEFINITIONS
A. In addition to the definitions included in the General Conditions, the following words and terms,
or pronouns used in their stead, shall, wherever they appear in the Contract, be construed as
follows, unless a different meaning is clear from the context:
1. “Change Order” is a contractual modification recommended by the Engineer and signed
by the Engineer, the Contractor and the Owner which orders an addition to, deletion or
revision of the work or an adjustment to the Contract Sum or an adjustment to the
Contract Period.
2. “Overhead” is defined as the cost of administration, field office and home office costs,
general and project superintendence, office engineering and estimating costs, other
required insurance, materials used in temporary structures (not including form work),
additional premiums on the performance bond of the Contractor, the use of small tools,
scheduling costs, and all other costs incidental and non-direct to the performance of the
change or the cost of doing business. Small tools are defined as any tool with a
replacement value less than $1,000 (one thousand dollars).
1.3 CHANGES IN CONSTRUCTION
A. The Owner reserves the right to make such additions, deletions, or changes to this Contract from
time to time as it deems necessary and in a manner not materially affecting the substance thereof
or materially changing the price to be paid in order to carry out and complete more fully and
perfectly the work herein agreed to be done and performed. This Contract shall not be
invalidated by any such additions, deletions or changes. The Contractor hereby waives any and
all claims for additional compensation or lost profits based upon any such additions, deletions or
changes.
B. Construction conditions may require that minor changes be made in the location and installation
of the work and equipment to be furnished and other work to be performed hereunder, and the
Contractor, when ordered by the Engineer, shall make such adjustments and changes as do not
alter the character, quantity, or cost of the work as a whole, and provided, further, that Plans and
01 26 00-2
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Change Order Procedures
Specifications showing such adjustments and changes are furnished the Contractor by the Owner
within a reasonable time before any work involving such adjustments and changes is begun. The
Owner shall be the sole judge of what constitutes a minor change for which no additional
compensation shall be allowed.
1.4 EXTRA WORK
A. The Owner may at any time by a written order and without notice to the sureties require the
performance of such extra work as it may find necessary or desirable.
B. An order for extra work shall be valid only if issued in writing and signed by the Owner, and the
work so ordered shall be performed by the Contractor.
C. The amount of compensation to be paid to the Contractor for any extra work so ordered will be
determined as follows:
1. By such applicable unit prices, if any, as are set forth in the Contract Documents: or
2. If no such unit prices are set forth, then by a lump sum or other prices mutually agreed
upon by the Owner and the Contractor; or
3. If no such unit prices are set forth in the Contract Documents and if the parties cannot
agree upon a lump sum or other unit prices, then by the actual and reasonable costs.
D. Regardless of the manner in which the adjustment to the Contract Price on account of extra work
is determined, such adjustment shall be deemed to include all amounts whether direct, indirect or
consequential, resulting from the performance of the extra work, including, but not limited to,
administration, overhead, superintendence, additional insurance, materials used in temporary
structures, allowances made by the Contractor to subcontractors, additional premiums on the
Bonds and rent for tools and equipment (whether for use in performing the extra work or in
remaining idle during the performance of such extra work). The adjustment in the Contract
Price, if any, shall constitute full and mutual accord and satisfaction for all costs related to this
change.
E. Records of extra work performed hereunder, if any, will be reviewed at the end of each day by an
authorized representative. Duplicate copies of accepted records shall be made and signed by
both the Contractor and an Authorized Representative, and one copy shall be retained by each.
F. Unless otherwise specified, payment requests for approved and duly authorized extra work shall
be submitted by the Contractor upon a certified statement supported by receipted bills.
G. The Contractor shall be entitled to an extension of time for extra work duly authorized by the
Owner and recorded in the Change Order authorization only for the number of days required, in
the opinion of the Engineer, to complete such extra work, and then only if the Contractor has
strictly complied with all the requirements of the Contract Documents.
1.5 EMERGENCY WORK
A. In emergencies affecting the safety of persons or the Work or property at the site or adjacent
thereto, the Contractor, without special instruction or authorization from the Owner is obligated
to act at his discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. He will give the Owner
prompt written notice of any significant changes in the Work or deviations from the Contract
Documents caused thereby. If the Contractor believes that additional work done by him in an
01 26 00-3
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Change Order Procedures
emergency which arose from causes beyond his control entitles him to an extension of the
Contract Completion Date or an increase in the Contract Price, he may make a claim therefore as
provided in Section 4.2 of the General Conditions of the Contract.
1.6 DISPUTED WORK
A. If the Contractor is of the opinion that any work required, necessitated, or ordered violates the
terms and provisions of this Contract, he shall promptly notify the Engineer, in writing, of his
contentions with respect thereto and request a final determination thereof. If the Engineer
determines that the work in question is Contract work and not a change in work or that the order
complained of is proper, he will direct the Contractor to proceed and the Contractor shall
promptly comply. In order, however, to reserve his right to claim compensation for such work or
damages resulting from such compliance, the Contractor shall, within 15 working days after
receiving notice of the Engineer's determination and direction, notify the Owner in writing that
the work is being performed or that the determination and direction is being complied with under
protest. Failure of the Contractor so to notify shall be deemed as a waiver of claim for extra
compensation or damages therefore.
B. Before final acceptance by the Owner, all matters of dispute must be adjusted to the mutual
satisfaction of the parties thereto. Final determinations and decisions, in case any questions shall
arise, shall constitute a condition precedent to the right of the Contractor to receive the money
therefore until the matter in question has been adjusted.

A. The Owner may at any time by a written order and without notice to the sureties require the
omission of such Contract work as it may find necessary or desirable.
B. An order for omission of work shall be valid only if signed by the Owner and the work so
ordered must be omitted by the Contractor. The amount by which the Contract price shall be
reduced shall be determined as follows:

representation that the Contract Schedule meets the requirements of the Contract
01 32 16-2
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Construction Progress Schedule
Documents and that the Work will be executed in the sequence and duration
indicated in the Contract Schedule.
1.5 SCHEDULING FORMAT
A. The Contract Schedule shall be computer produced in the Critical Path Method
(CPM) format. The schedule shall be computer produced utilizing project
scheduling software such as Primavera, Microsoft Project, SureTrak, or other
equivalent software as approved by the Engineer.
B. The Progress Schedule shall be updated monthly and submitted as indicated in
Article 1.6, Submittals.
C. The Contract Schedule shall show Contract tasks, percent complete, progress bars,
baseline schedules, milestones, start and finish dates, and other breakdowns as
required by the Engineer. The Contract Schedule shall show clearly the sequence of
activities and shall list specifically the following activities:
1. Interim milestone completion dates. Phasing and staging of the Work as
specified shall be prominently identified.
2. Submittals and the Engineer’s review of submittals.
3. District inspection of the Work, including Preliminary Final Inspection,
Final Inspection, punch list(s), and Acceptance.

equipment (DFE) indicated for incorporation in the Work.
D. Descriptions of scheduled activities shall include sufficient detail to identify the
work that is to be accomplished.
1. The Contract Schedule shall contain sufficient activities to clearly show the
sequence and interdependencies of the Work. The schedule shall be
prepared in such a way that an activity or group of activities will correspond
directly with the bid item breakdown and/or the breakdown of lump sum bid
items. The Engineer may request that additional activities be added.
2. Activity durations shall be expressed in whole days. Work that is to be
performed by Subcontract shall be clearly defined.
3. Float suppression techniques, such as preferential sequencing (crew
movement, equipment use, and form reuse), extended duration, imposed
dates, scheduling of work not required for the Contract, and others, shall not
be used to affect or limit float in the Contract Schedule. The use of
constraint dates should be minimized, and must be approved by the
01 32 16-3
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Construction Progress Schedule
Engineer.
4. Critical Path operations are those activities with a total float equal to or less
than zero. Contract Schedules with negative total float may be found to be
impractical by the Engineer.
5. A Contract Schedule showing that Work is completed in less than the
completion time specified in the Section 01 10 00 may be found to be
impractical by the Engineer.
E. A Contract Schedule showing that Work that is completed in less than the
completion time specified in Section 01 10 00 - Summary of Work, that is found to
be practical by the Engineer, shall be considered to have Float. The Float shall be
the time between the Scheduled Completion Date as indicated on the approved
Contract Schedule and the Contract Completion Date, calculated by adding the
completion time specified in Contract Specifications Section 01 10 00 - Summary of
Work, to the Notice to Proceed date.
F. Float shall not be for the exclusive benefit of either the District or the Contractor.
Float shall be a resource available to both parties. Failure to meet the Scheduled
Completion Date shall not mean delay, provided the Contract Completion Date is
met. The District shall not be responsible for any damages, including the
Contractor’s extended overhead costs or early completion delay damages, related to
the use of Float or failure to meet the Scheduled Completion Date.
G. Compensable delay, for which liquidated damages or extended overhead may be
assessed, shall mean failure to meet the Contract Completion Date or any dates
specified in Bid Form and General Conditions. Failure to meet the Scheduled
Completion Date shall not entitle the Contractor to compensable delay, if the
Contract Completion Date is met. The City shall not be responsible for any damages
related to the use of Float or to a failure to meet an Early Completion Date,
including Contractor’s extended overhead costs or early completion delay damages.
H. The use of Negative Lag is not allowed. Positive lag may be allowed subject to
approval by the Engineer.
I. A schedule found to be impractical for the preceding reasons or any other reasons
shall be revised by the Contractor and resubmitted.

written comments according to the following schedule form the date of receipt:
Contract Schedule: 10 calendar days
Four-Week Work Plan: 5 calendar days
B. The Contractor shall make all corrections to the Contract Schedule requested by the
Engineer and resubmit the schedule for approval. If the Contractor does not agree
with the Engineer’s comments, the Contractor shall provide written notice of
disagreement within five days from the receipt of the Engineer’s comments. The
Engineer’s comments on the Four-Week Work Plan for which the Contractor
disagrees shall be resolved in a meeting held for that purpose, if necessary.
C. At least once each month, or as often as deemed necessary by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall submit a Progress Schedule showing the progress of the Work to
date and anticipated activities to be worked on, and the Monthly Progress Status
Report as specified in Article 1.07. The submittal of the Progress Schedule update
and Monthly Progress Status Report shall be at least five days prior to the submittal
of a payment invoice. No invoice will be accepted nor payment made if there is not
an approved current update in place.
D. If, according to the approved Contract Schedule, the Contractor is thirty or more
days behind the Contract Completion Date or the completion date of any milestone
indicted, considering all approved time extensions, the Contractor shall submit a
revised schedule, showing a practical plan to complete the Work within the
specified Contract completion time. The County may withhold progress payments
until a revised schedule, acceptable to the Engineer, is submitted by the Contractor.
1.10 REQUESTS FOR TIME EXTENSIONS
A. If the Contractor requests an extension of time for the completion of an interim
milestone date or Contract Completion Date, the Contractor shall furnish necessary
justification for such extension so that the Engineer can determine whether or not
the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the
Contract. Submission of proof based on revised activity logic, duration, and costs is
obligatory to any approvals. The cost of such justification or subsequent schedule
revisions shall be borne solely by the Contractor.
1. The schedule shall clearly display that the Contractor has used, in full, all
the float time available for the work involved in its request.
2. The Engineer’s determination as to the total number of days of Contract
extension will be based upon the current approved Progress Schedule for the
time period in question, and all other relevant information. Actual delays in
activities that, according to the schedule, do not affect the extended and
predicted Contract completion dates as shown by the Critical Path, will not
be the basis for a change to the Contract Completion Date.
01 32 16-6
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Construction Progress Schedule
3. After receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, the Engineer
will review the facts and advise the Contractor in writing of the Engineer’s
decision. If the Engineer determines that the Contractor is entitled to an
extension of time to an interim milestone, the Contract Completion Date
will remain the same, unless the Engineer specifies another date. Any
change to Contract milestones or to the Contract Completion Date will be
made by Change Order.
B. As part of each request for extension, a fragnet showing all schedule logic revisions,
duration changes, and cost changes for the work in question and its relationship to
other activities on the current approved Progress Schedule for the time period in
question shall be submitted.
1. If the Engineer has not yet made a full determination as to the amount of
time extension to be granted and the parties are unable to agree as to the
amount of extension to be reflected in the schedule, the Contractor shall
reflect that amount of time extension in the Progress Schedule as may be
determined to be appropriate by the Engineer for such interim purpose. It is
understood and agreed that such interim determination by the Engineer for
the purposes of this Article 1.10.B.1 will not be binding upon either party
for any other purpose, and that, after the Engineer has made a final
determination as to any time extension, the Contractor shall revise the
Progress Schedule in accordance with the final decision.
1.11 INCLEMENT WEATHER
A. The Contract Period will be adjusted to account for unusually severe weather
conditions which prevent or inhibit the Contractor’s performance of the Work and
lengthen the critical path indicated on the Schedule (such unusually severe weather
conditions referred to herein as “Inclement Weather”). It is the intent of this
provision to offset the impact of Inclement Weather with unusually favorable
weather conditions which immediately precede and/or follow the occurrence of
inclement Weather.
B. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of the occurrence of
Inclement Weather within two days after the onset of such Inclement Weather
and shall describe in reasonable detail the type of Inclement Weather
encountered by the Contractor and the Work thereby interfered with or
interrupted.
C. This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions
for unusually severe weather. In order for the Engineer to award a time
extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied:
1. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period
must be found to be unusually severe, that is, more severe than the
inclement weather anticipated for the project location during any given
month.
2. The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the
completion of the project. The delay must be beyond the control and
01 32 16-7
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Construction Progress Schedule
without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
D. Schedule: The following Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Inclement Weather Delays is
based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for
the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time
evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated inclement
weather delays in all-weather dependent activities.

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
10 9 9 6 8 7 8 7 6 5 7 9
E. Records: Upon acknowledgement of the Notice to Proceed and continuing throughout
the contract, the Contractor will record daily, and submit to the Engineer, the occurrence
of inclement weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual
inclement weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or
more of the Contractor's scheduled work day.
F. Impacted Days: The number of actual inclement weather days shall include days
impacted by actual inclement weather (even if inclement weather occurred in previous
month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day in each month, and
be recorded as full days. If the number of actual inclement weather delay days exceeds
the number of days anticipated in the Schedule of Monthly Anticipated Inclement
Weather Delays, above, the Engineer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar
days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a
modification in accordance with Section 01 26 00 – Change Order Procedure.

1.1 SUMMARY
A. Section includes administrative and procedural requirements for quality assurance and
quality control.
B. Testing and inspecting services are required to verify compliance with requirements
specified or indicated. These services do not relieve Contractor of responsibility for
compliance with the Contract Document requirements.
1. Specific quality-assurance and quality-control requirements for individual
construction activities are specified in the Sections that specify those activities.
Requirements in those Sections may also cover production of standard products.
2. Specified tests, inspections, and related actions do not limit Contractor's other
quality-assurance and quality-control procedures that facilitate compliance with
the Contract Document requirements.
3. Requirements for Contractor to provide quality-assurance and -control services
required by Engineer, Owner, or authorities having jurisdiction are not limited
by provisions of this Section.
1.2 DEFINITIONS
A. In addition to the definitions included in the General Conditions, the following words
and terms, or pronouns used in their stead, shall, wherever they appear in this Contract,
be construed as follows, unless a different meaning is clear from the context:
1. “Quality-Assurance Services” are activities, actions, and procedures performed
before and during execution of the Work to guard against defects and
deficiencies and substantiate that proposed construction will comply with
requirements.
2. “Quality-Control Services” are tests, inspections, procedures, and related
actions during and after execution of the Work to evaluate that actual products
incorporated into the Work and completed construction comply with
requirements. Services do not include contract enforcement activities
performed by Engineer.
3. “Mockups” are full size physical assemblies that are constructed on-site.
Mockups are constructed to verify selections made under sample submittals; to
demonstrate aesthetic effects and, where indicated, qualities of materials and
execution; to review coordination, testing, or operation; to show interface
between dissimilar materials; and to demonstrate compliance with specified
installation tolerances. Mockups are not Samples. Unless otherwise indicated,
approved mockups establish the standard by which the Work will be judged.

lowest point corresponding to the junction of the manhole bench and
walls
b. The spin-cast unit shall then be initialized, and pumping of the material
shall commence.
c. As the mortar begins to be centrifugally cast evenly around the interior of
the structure, the rotating applicator head may be cycled up and down,
when installing in rough, non-uniform vertical structures, at a controlled
retrieval speed *conducive to providing a uniform material thickness on
the structure walls.
2. Horizontal Structures/Pipes
a. The Geopolymer lining material delivery hose shall be coupled to a
medium- velocity spray application nozzle.
b. Pumping of the material shall commence and the material shall be spin
cast onto the pipe surface.

interior of the cavity, the rotating applicator head shall produce a uniform
material thickness to the repair surface.
j. Controlled multiple passes shall then be made, if necessary, until the
specified minimum finished thickness is attained. If the procedure is
interrupted for any reason, the operator shall arrest the longitudinal
transition of the applicator head until flows are recommenced.
k. Material thickness may be verified at any point with an approved depth
gauge. If additional material is required at any level, the gyroscopic
applicator head shall be placed at the location and application shall
recommence until that area meets the required thickness.
l. The lining material shall be applied to a damp surface, with no free
water.
m. The medium-velocity spray nozzle and the gyroscopic spin casting head
may be used in conjunction to facilitate uniform application of the
material to irregularities in the contour of the pipe walls.
n. If desired, the liner may be troweled following the spray application.
Initial troweling shall be in an upward motion, to compress the material
and solidify the pipe wall.
o. Proper steps shall be taken to ensure the material is cured in a moist and
moderate climate as directed by the manufacturer. General underground
conditions are usually adequate to meet this curing requirement.
However, when situations of dry and/or hot conditions are present, the
use of a wind barrier and fogging spray may be required

60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Sanitary Sewer Line Television Inspection
B. Notification: Notify the Owner at least 24 hours in advance of any CCTV inspection so
that the Owner may observe inspection operations.
3.2 CCTV INSPECTION OF PIPELINES
A. The specifications call attention to certain features but do not purport to cover all details
entering into the required work
B. General: Perform CCTV inspection on one sewer section (i.e. manhole to manhole) at a
time.
C. CCTV Inspection: Perform CCTV inspection immediately after pipeline cleaning,
unless specifically allowed by the OWNER. Do not allow inspection camera to
immediately follow behind the cleaning mechanism, but rather follow once at a
minimum distance of 8-feet from nozzle. Verify the pipeline is clean, verify or measure
the pipe sizes, determine existing condition of the pipeline and locate service
connections.
D. Flow Control: Adequately control the flow in the pipeline being CCTV inspected. Do
not exceed the depth of wastewater flow shown below:
Pipe Diameter Depth of Flow (Inches) (Percent of Pipe Diameter)
6 – 10 10
12 – 24 15
Over 24 20
1. If during CCTV inspection of a sewer section, the wastewater flow depth
exceeds the maximum allowable, reduce the flow depth to an acceptable level
by performing the CCTV inspection during minimum flow hours, by diversion
pumping or by pulling a camera with swab, high-velocity jet nozzle or other
acceptable dewatering device. If pulling with a jet nozzle, the camera must be a
minimum of 8-feet from the nozzle.
E. Pipeline Inspection Camera: Move the pipe inspection camera through the pipeline in
the downstream direction at a uniform rate, stopping when necessary to ensure proper
documentation of the sewer's condition and service connections, but do not pull the pipe
inspection camera at a speed greater than 30 feet per minute or 9 meters per minute.
Position camera for inspection at the center point of the diameter or as nearest the center
of non-circular piping.
F. Pipeline Conditions: Inspect pipelines by use of the pan-and-tilt feature of the pipe
inspection to determine the condition of the pipeline. Document the conditions, defects
and observations of pipelines using NASSCO’s Pipeline Assessment and Certification
Program© codes.
G. Locating Point Repairs Necessary to Complete Inspection: If point repair is needed in
order for the continuous inspection to be completed from manhole to manhole due to
33 01 30.16-6
12439/50922
60-Inch Marshall Street Sewer Rehabilitation 04/2017 Sanitary Sewer Line Television Inspection
impassibility or sewer collapse, make a special note in the documentation and inspection
report as outlined in Section 3.3 below.
H. Inspection of Infiltration: Quantify visible leakage of extraneous flow into the sewer by
the operator and recorded on electronic log and audio.
I. Communication: Whenever non-remote powered and controlled winches are used to pull
the television camera through the line, set up telephones, radios, or other suitable means
of communication between the operators positioned at the two manholes of the sewer
line being inspected to ensure that good communications exist between members of the
crew.
J. Visual Recording of CCTV Inspection: Make CCTV inspections continuous for pipe
segments between manholes. Do not leave gaps in the visual recording of a sewer
segment and do not show a single segment on more than one visual recording, unless
specifically allowed by the Owner.
K. Passage of Inspection Camera: If during CCTV inspection of a pipeline, the camera is
unable to pass an obstruction even though flow is unobstructed, inspect the pipeline
from the other direction (reverse setup) in order to obtain a complete inspection of the
pipeline. Whenever such a condition arises, notify the Owner to determine if an
obstruction removal or point repair is necessary. When the Contractor encounters a
protruding tap that prevents the passage of the camera, grind the protruding tap as
specified in Section 33 01 30.41 – Special Cleaning unless otherwise directed by the
Owner. After the protruding tap is removed, complete the CCTV inspection of the
pipeline.
1. When the camera is moving from the other direction in order to survey on either
side of an obstruction and a second repair location is encountered away from the
first obstruction, notify the Owner and request a review of the CCTV video.
L. CCTV Inspection Quality: Reject CCTV inspections that have camera distortions,
inadequate lighting, dirty lens, excessive lighting or blurred/hazy picture of the
associated line segment. Re-televise any CCTV inspection deemed unacceptable by the
Owner at no additional cost to the Owner. Payment for televised inspection will not be
made until Owner approves the quality of the inspection report and DVD-ROMs.
