6.3 SUBSTITUTES AND "OR EQUAL" IT,EMS
Whenever an item of material or equipment is specified or described in the Contract Documents
by using the name of a proprietary item or the name of a particular Supplier, the specification or
description is intended to establish the type, function and quality required. Unless the
specification or description contains or is followed by words reading that no like, equivalent or
"or equal" item or no substitution is permitted, other items of material or equipment or material
or equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by Engineer. If in Engineer's sole discretion an
item of material or equipment proposed by Contractor is functionally equal to that named and
sufficiently similar so that no change in related Work will be required, it may be considered by
Engineer for approval. If in the Engineer's sole discretion an item of material or equipment
proposed by Contractor does not qualify as an "or equal" item, it may be considered as a
proposed substitute item. Contractor sha11 submit sufficient information as required by the
Engineer to a11ow the Engineer to determine that the item of material or equipment proposed is
essentially equivalent to that named and is an accepta.ble substitute therefore. Request for review
of proposed substitute and "or equal" will be not be accepted by Engineer from anyone other
than Contractor.
Request for substitute and "or equal" items by Contractor must be submitted in writing to
Owner's Representative and will contain all information as Engineer deems necessary to make a
determination. All data provided by Contractor in support of any proposed substitute or "or
equal" item will be at Contractor's expense. Engineer will be allowed a reasonable time to

Change Directive. Upon receipt of any such document, Contractor shall promptly proceed with
the Work involved which will be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract
Documents (except as may otherwise be specifically provided).
If the Owner and Contractor are unable to agree as to the extent, if any, of an adjustment in the
Contract Price or an adjustment of the Contract Time that should be allowed as a result of a
Work Change Directive, a claim may be made therefore as provided in these General Conditions.
Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the
Contract Time with respect to any Work performed that is not required by the Contract
Documents as amended, modif'ied and supplemented as provided in these General Conditions
except in the case of an emergency as provided or in the case of uncovering work as provided in
article for Uncovering Work.
The Owner and Contractor shall execute appropriate Change Orders or Written Amendments
recommended by Owner's Representative covering:
changes in the work which are (i) ordered by the Owner (ii) required because of acceptance

Section III — General Conditions
� after the start of the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. Notice of the amount of the
claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after the start of such
occurrence or event, unless Owner's Representative allows additional time for claimant to
� submit additional or more accurate data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by
cla.imant's written statement that the claimed adjustment covers a11 known amounts to which the
claimant is entitled as a result of said occurrence or event. No claim for an adjustment in the
� Contract Price will be valid if not submitted in accordance with this paragraph. The value of any
Work covered by a Change Order or of any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price will be
determined as follows: (i) where the Work involved is covered by unit prices contained in the
� Contract Documents, by application of such unit prices to the quantities of the items involved (ii)
where the Work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents, by
a mutually agreed lump sum (which may include an allowance for overhead and profit), (iii)
� where the Work is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
agreement is reached to establish unit prices for the Work.
Where the work involved is not covered by unit prices contained in the Contract Documents and
� where the Owner's Representative, the Owner, the Engi.neer, the Engineer's Consultant, and
Contractor cannot mutually agree on a lump sum price, the City of Clearwater shall pay for
directed changes in the WORK, on "COST REIlVIBURSEMENT" basis. The Contractor shall
� apply for compensation, detailing Contractors forces, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and
other items of direct costs required for the directed work.
�
�
�
�
�
��
The application for Cost Reimbursement shall be limited to the following items:
1. Labor, including foremen, for those hours associated with the direct work (actual
payroll cost, including wages, fringe bene�ts, labor insurance and labor taxes
established by law). Expressly excluded from this item are all costs associated with
negotiating the subject change.
2. Materials associated with the change, including sales tax. The costs of materials shall
be substantiated through vendors' invoices.
3. Rental or equivalent rental costs of equipment, including necessary transportation
costs if specifically used for the WORK. The rental rates sha11 not exceed the current
rental rates prevailing in the locality or as defined in the rental Rate Blue Book for
Construction Equipment (a.k.a. DataQuest Blue Book). The rental rate is defined as
the full-unadjusted base rental rate for the appropriate item of construction equipment
and shall cover the costs of all fuel, supplies, repairs, insurance, and other costs
associated with supplying the equipment for work ordered. Contractor-owned
equipment will be paid for the duration of time required to complete the work. Utilize
lowest cost combination of hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly rates. Do not exceed
estimated operating costs given in Blue Book. Operating costs will not be allowed for
equipment on stand-by.
4. Additional costs for Bonds, Insurance if required by the City of Clearwater.
The following fixed fees shall be added to the costs of the directed work performed
by the Contractor or Subcontractor.
� A. A fixed fee of fifteen percent (15%) shall be added to the costs of Item 1 above. If
work is performed by a subcontractor, the Contractor's fee shall not exceed five
percent (5%), and the subcontractor's fee shall not exceed ten percent (10%).
� B. A fixed fee of ten percent (10%) sha11 be added to the costs of Item 2 above.
SectionIII.doc Page 29 of 46

Section III — General Conditions
C. No markup shall be added to the costs of Items 3 and 4.
The fixed fees shall be considered the full compensation for all cost of general
supervision, overhead, profit, and other general expense.
11.2 ALLOWANCES AND FINAL CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENT
It is understood that Contractor has included in the Contract Price all allowances so named in the
Contract Documents and sha11 cause the Work so covered to be furnished and performed for such
sums as may be acceptable to Owner and Engineer. Contractor agrees that: (i) the allowances
include the cost to Contractor (less any applicable trade discounts) of materials and equipment
required by the allowances to be delivered at the Site, and a11 applicable taxes; and (ii)
Contractor's costs for unloading and handling on the site, labor, installation costs, overhead,
profit and other expenses contemplated for the allowances have been included in the Contract
Price and not in the allowances and no demand for additional payment on account of any of the
foregoing will be valid.
Prior to fmal payment, an appropriate Change Order will be issued as recommended by Owner's
Representative to reflect actual amounts due Contractor on account of Work covered by
allowances and all the Work actually performed by the Contractor, and the Contract Price shall
be correspondingly adjusted.
11.3 UNIT PRICE WORK
Where the Contract Documents provide that all or part of the Work is to be Unit Price Work,
initially the Contract Price will be deemed to include for all Unit Price Work an amount equal to
the sum of the established unit price for each separately identif'ied item of unit price work times
the estimated quantity of each item as indicated in the Agreement. The estimated quantities of
items of Unit Price Work are not guaranteed and are solely for the purpose of comparison of
Bids and determining an initial Contract Price. Determinations of the actual quantities and
classifications of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor will be made by Owner's
Representative. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by Contractor to
be adequate to cover Contractor's overhead and profit for each separately identif'ied item. The
Owner or Contractor may make a cla,im for an adjustment in the Contract Price if: (i) the quantity
of any item of Unit Price Work performed by Contractor differs materially and signif'icantly from
the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Contract Documents; and (u) there is no
corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work; and (iii) if Contractor believes
that Contractor is entitled to an increase in Contract Price as a result of having incurred
additional expense or the Owner believes that the Owner is entitled to a decrease in Contract
Price and the parties are unable to agree as to the amount of any such increase or decrease. On
unit price contracts, Owner endeavors to provide adequate unit quantities to satisfactorily
complete the construction of the project. It is expected that in the normal course of project
construction and completion that not all unit quantities will be used in their entirety and that a
fmalizing change order which adjusts contract unit quantities to those unit quantities actually
used in the construction of the project will result in a net decrease from the original Contract
Price. Such reasonable deduction of fmal Contract Price should be anticipated by the Contractor
in his original bid.

event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature of the claim. Notice of the extent of
the claim with supporting data shall be delivered within sixty (60) days after such occurrence,
unless Owner's Representative allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate
data in support of the claim, and shall be accompanied by the claimant's written statement that
the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the claimant has reason to believe it is
entitied as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for adjustment in the Contract
Time (or Milestones) shall be deternuned by Owner's Representa,tive. No claim for an
adjustment in the Contract Time (or Milestones) will be valid if not submitted in accordance with

replacement, (ii) the Contract Price has been reduced by amendment or Change Order, (iii) the
Owner has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work, or (iv) Owner's

Representative, and Engineer in writing that Contractor considers any such part of the Work

4 ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE WORK
This article deleted. See SECTION III, ARTICLE 18 — ORDER AND LOCATION OF THE
WORK.
5 EXCAVATION FOR UNDERGROUND WORK
The contractor is responsible to take all necessary steps to conduct all excavation in a manner
which provides for the successful completion of the proposed work while at a11 times
maintaining the safety of the workmen, the general public and both public and private property.
The contractor's methods of work will be consistent with the standard practices and requirements
of a11 appropriate Safety Regulatory Agencies, particularly the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements for excavation. Unless otherwise specifically stated in
these plans and specif'ications, the methods of safety control and compliance with regulatory
agency safety requirements are the full and complete responsibility of the contractor.
For the purposes of the Contractor's safety planning in the bidding process, the contractor is to
consider a11 excavation to be done in the performance of this contract to be in soil classified as
OSHA "Type C". The Contractor's attention is called to specific requirements of OSHA for
excavation shoring, employee entry, location of excavated material adjacent to excavation, the
removal of water from the excavation, surface encumbrances and in particular the requirement of
a"Competent Person" to control safety operations. The Contractor will identify his Competent
Person to City staff at the start of construction.
City staff are required from time to time to perform inspections, tests, survey location work, or
other similar activity in an excavation prepared by the contractor. City staff in conformance with
the OSHA Excavation Safety Requirements are to only enter an excavation in compliance with
these OSHA standards. The City's staff reserve the option to refuse entry into the Contractor's
excavation if, in the opinion of the City's staff, the entry into the Contractor's excavation is
unsafe or does not conform OSHA requirements. If this circumstance occurs, the contractor must
either provide the necessary safety requirements or provide alternate means for the
accomplishment of the City's work at the Contractor's expense.
The restoration quantities, if any, contained in the bid proposal for this contract to not contain
sufficient quantities to a11ow the contractor to perform excavation work using strictly the "open
cut" method whereby no shoring systems are used and trench side slopes are cut to conform to
OSHA safety requirements without a shoring system. In addition to safety reasons, the
Contractor is required to use excavation and trench-shoring methods in compliance with all
safety requirements which a11ow the Contractor to control the amount of restoration work
necessary to complete the project.
Not more than one hundred (100) feet of trench shall be opened at one time in advance of the
completed work unless written permission is received from the Engineer for the distance
specified. For pipe installation projects, the trench shall be six (6) inches wider on each side than
SectionN.doc Page 6 of 128 2/9/2012
�
Section N — Technical Specifications
� the greatest external horizontal width of the pipe or conduit, including hubs, intended to be laid
in them. The bottom of the trench under each pipe joint sha11 be slightly hollowed, to allow the
body of the pipe to rest throughout its length. In case a trench is excavated at any place,
� excepting at joints, below the grade of its bottom as given, or directed by the Engineer, the filling
and compaction to grade shall be done in such manner as the Engineer shall direct, without
compensation.

6 CONCRETE
Unless otherwise directed, a11 concrete work shall be performed in accordance with the latest
editions of the Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures by the Portland Cement Association, the
American Concrete Institute, and FDOT's Standard Specifications. All appropriate testing sha11
be performed according to the American Society of Testing Materials.
Unless otherwise specified, all concrete shall have fiber mesh reinforcing and have a minimum
compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i. at 28 days. T'he cement type shall be Type I and shall
conform to AASHTO M-85. The aggregate shall conform to ASTM C-33. All ready mix concrete
shall conform to ASTM C-94. The slump for all concrete shall be in the range of 3" to 5", except
when admixtures or special placement considerations are required.
The Contractor shall notify the Project Inspector a minimum of 24 hours in advance of all
concrete placement.
All concrete shall be tested in the following manner:
Placement of less than 5 cubic yards (cy) sha11 be tested at the Engineer's discretion. Otherwise,
for each class, for each day, for every 50 cy or part thereof exceeding 5 cy, one set of 3
compressive strength cylinders will be required (1 at 7 days and 2 at 28 days). At the discretion
of the Engineer, unacceptable test results may require the Contractor to provide further tests, as
determined by the Engineer, to determine product acceptability, or need for removal, and
compensation or denial thereof.

City of Clearwater - Erosion Control
This notice is to inform the prime contractor that the City of Clearwater holds them responsible
for soil erosion control on their site.
The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has the responsibility to minimize the amount of
soil erosion into the City's streets, storm sewers and waterways.
The construction of a new residence or commercial site and major remodeling of an existing site
creates a potential for soil erosion. These instances are usually the result of contractors and
subcontractors accessing the property with equipment or construction materials. T'hen rain storms
redistribute the eroded soil into the adjacent streets, storm systems and waterways.
When erosion takes place, a City Inspector will place a correction notice at the site. The
procedure will be as follows:
1 st occurrence - Warning
2nd occurrence - $32 Re-inspection Fee
3rd occurrence - $80 Re-inspection Fee
4th occurrence - Stop Work Order
Dependent on the severity of the erosion, the City's Engineering Department may elect to rectify
the erosion problem and charge the contractor accordingly.
The attached drawings and details aze recommendations for the contractor to use as means to
support the site from eroding. The contractor may elect to shovel and sweep the street daily or on
an as needed basis. However, erosion must be held in check.
If the contractor would like to meet with a City inspector on any particular site, please contact
Construction Services at 562-4750 or Planning & Development Services at 562-4741.
Erosion Control Required - City of Clearwater's Code of Ordinances requires erosion control on
all land development projects.
Erosion control must be in place and maintained throughout the job. Failure to do so may result
in additional costs and time delays to the pernut holder.
Contact Engineering Department with specif'ic questions at 562-4750.

600 2 2 8�
750 2 1/2 2 1/2 90
For each 25 feet of material hose used in excess of 150 feet, the required air pressure shall be
increased by 5 psi.
Air Compressor: Any standard type of compressor shall be satisfactory if it is of sufficient
capacity to provide, without interruption, the pressures and volume of air necessary for the
longest hose delivery. The air compressor capacity determinations shall include allowances made
for the air consumed in blowing rebound, cleaning, reinforcing and for incidental uses.
Compressor equipment sha11 be of such capacity so as to insure air pressures at the special mixer
capable of producing the required material velocities.
Water Supply: The water pressure at the discharge nozzle should be suff'iciently greater than the
operating air pressure to assure the water is intimately mixed with the other materials. If the line
water pressure is inadequate, a water pump or pressurized tank shall be introduced into the line.
The water pressure shall be uniformly steady (nonpulsating).

preparation or construction activities within or adjacent to the work zone, including all
staging and/or lay down areas. Protective barriers sha11 be installed as follows:
l. At or greater than the full dripline of a11 species of Mangroves and Cabbage Pa1ms.
2. At or greater than the full dripline or a11 protected native pine trees and other conifer
species.
I:
C.
3. At or greater than two-thirds of the dripline of all other protected species
4. At or greater than the full dripline of trees within a specimen tree stand.
Protective barriers are to be constructed using no less than two-inch lumber for upright posts.
Upright posts are to be at least four feet in length with a minimum of one foot anchored in
the ground. Upright posts are to be placed at a maximum distance of eight feet apart.
Horizontal rails are to be constructed using no less than one inch by four-inch lumber and
shall be securely attached to the top of the upright post. The project City's representative
must approve any variation from the above requirements.
Whenever a protective barrier is required, it shall be in place until all construction activity is
terminated. The area within the barrier limits shall remain undisturbed by any activity during
construction. Native ground cover and understory vegetation existing withi.n the barriers shall
remain throughout construction. Exotic plant species may only be removed by manual labor
utilizing hand tools or by other means if authorized in writing by the City's representative.
D. Prior to the erection of any required protective barrier, all surface foreign material, trash or
debris sha11 be removed from the area enclosed by the barrier, and after erection of the barrier
no such material or litter shall be permitted to remain within the protected area. No
equipment, chemieals, soil deposits or construction materials shall be placed within such

F. At all times, due care shall be taken to protect the critical root zone of trees protected by this
section, and root pruning requirements shall apply to such trees.
62.2 ROOT PRUNING
A. Where proposed construction improvements involve excavation and/or impacts to the critical
root zone of protected trees, the Contractor shall be required to have an International Society
of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist perform, or directly supervise root pruning to reduce
the impacts of construction. The critical root zone is equivalent to the tree's dripline. Prior to
any clearing, grubbing or excavation activities, the affected roots must be severed by clean
pruning cuts at the point where grubbing or excavation unpacts the root system. Roots can be
pruned utilizing specified root pruning equipment designed for that purpose or by hand
digging a trench and pruning roots with a pruning saw, chain saw or other equipment
designed for tree pruning. Root pruning by trenching equipment or excavation equipment is
strictly prohibited. Roots located in the critical root zone that will be impacted by

Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist.
C. Any proposed root pruning trenches shall be identified on site (i.e. staked or painted)
inspected and approved by the City's representative prior to actual root pruning.
D. Root pruning shall be performed as far in advance of other construction activities as is
feasible, but at a m.inimum shall be performed prior to ANY impacts to the soil. Associated
tree protection measures should be implemented upon completion of said root pruning.
E. If there is a likelihood of excessive wind and/or rain exceptional care shall be taken on any
root pruning activities.
F. Root pruning shall be limited to a minimum of ten inches per one inch of the trunk diameter
from the tree base. Any exception must be approved by the City's representative prior to said
root pruning.
G. Roots shall be cut cleanly, as far from the trunk of the tree as possible. Root pruning shall be
done to a minimum depth of 18" from existing grade, or to the depth of the disturbance if less
than 18".
H. Root pruning shall be performed using a Doscocil Root Cutting Machine or equivalent.
� Alternate equipment or techniques must be approved by the City's representative, prior to
any work adjacent to trees to be preserved.
' I. Root pnuung sha11 be completed, inspected and accepted prior to the commencement of any
excavation or other impacts to the critical root zones of trees to be protected.
J. Excavations in an area where root are present shall not cause the tearing or ripping of tree
' roots. Roots must first be cleanly severed prior to continuing with the excavation, or tunneled
around to prevent damage to the root.
, K. Tree roots shall not be exposed to drying out. Root ends shall be covered with native soil or
burlap and kept moist until final backf'ill or final grades has been established.
L. When deemed appropriate (e.g., during periods of drought) the City representative may
' require a temporary irrigation system be utilized in the remaining critical root zones of root
pruned trees.
' M. When underground utility lines are to be installed within the critical root zone, the root
pruning requirement may be waived if the lines are installed via tunneling or directional
boring as opposed to open trenching.
I 62.3 PROPER TREE PRUNING

B. Bent Sub: A section of drill pipe behind the cutting tools that is inclined at an angle at one to
three degrees from the a�cis of the bore in the desired direction of steering. The bent sub allows
steering while rotating the cutting tools.
C. Drilling Fluid/Mud: A mixture of water, bentonite, and/or polytners continuously pumped to the
drilling tools to facilitate the removal of soil cuttings, and stabilization of the bore. These fluids
also cool the cutting tools and lubricate the drill pipe and product pipe string.
D. Drill String: The total length of the drill pipe in the borehole.
E. Drilling ToolBit: Any tool or system of tools which excavates at the face of a bore.
F. Entry Pit: The location where the pilot bore initially penetrates the ground surface and where the
HDD rig is positioned.
G. Exit pit: The location where the pilot bore exists the ground surface.
H. Horizontal Directional Drilling: A surface-launched, guided, steerable drilling system used for
the trenchless installation of pipes, conduits, and cables. A pilot bore path is excavated in a
shallow arc from a surface-launched drill rig. Excavation takes place with fluid assisted cutting
from a drilling tool on the drill string. The pilot bore is directed by the positioning of a bent sub.
Tracking of the drill string is achieved by using a downhole wireline survey tool which shall be
augmented by using an energized wire grid at the surface. The bore is filled with drilling
fluid/mud for stabilization, to cool the cutting tools, and to mix the cuttings into a slurry, which is
circulated to the entry point where solids are removed before the drilling fluids are returned to the
bore. The bore path is enlarged with subsequent reaming passes until the desired diameter is
achieved. The product pipe, conduit, or cable is then pulled into the fluid-stabilized bore hole.
I. HDD Work Plan: Written descriptions, together with sketches, profile drawings, schedules, and
other documents defining CONTRACTOR's plans and procedures for horizontal directional
drilling. This HDD Work Plan also includes a detailed inadvertent return and subsidence analysis
and any changes proposed to the boring lengths, depths, entry/exit pit locations or angles.
J. Inadvertent Return — Uncontrolled flow of drilling fluid/mud to the surface at a location other
than the entry or exit pit. In certain conditions, this may also be known as hydrofracture or frac-
out.
K. Geotechnical Investigation Report: A report which provides the geotechnical boring locations and
logs, geotechnical and environmental laboratory data results, and testing procedures. The report
is provided for information purposes only and is not part of the Contract Documents.
L. Obstruction: Any hard object lying completely or partially within the design pathway of the bore
and pipe that prevents further advancement of the drill pipe, pre-reamer, reamer, and/or pipe, after
all reasonable CONTRACTOR attempts to advance past the object or re-drill around the object
have failed.
M. Pilot Bore: The action of creating the frst guided pass of the HDD process which is then reamed
in one or more passes to the size required to allow pullback of the pipe.
N. Pullback: The part of a horizontal directional drilling process in which the drill pipe, swivel, and
product pipe or cable is pulled back through the bore to the entry.

O. Pullback Loads: The loads (forces) applied to a drill string and product pipe during the pullback
process. In addition to the tensile pullback loads, bending, buckling and combination loads must
be considered in design.
P. Reamer: A cutting tool pushed or pulled through the borehole in order to enlarge the pilot bore
hole to a diameter sufficient for the installation of the product pipe.
Q. Settlement Point: A point with elevation and spatial location established by survey prior to
construction. The point is re-surveyed periodically to monitor ground movements. The point
may be a nail, pin, subsurface settlement rod, borehole extensometer, or other device that can be
readily located and surveyed.

02623 as applicable. The CONTRACTOR shall repair any defects discovered during the test,
and repeat until the pipe passes the test.
Obstructions: The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER immediately in the event that
any obstruction is encountered that prevents further advancement of the drill pipe, or pullback of
the pre-reamer, reamer, and/or pipe. The CONTRACTOR shall make all diligent and reasonable
efforts to advance past the object by drilling slowly through the object, pulling back, and drilling
along a new bore path that avoids the object, or excavating and exposing and removing the object,
and all other reasonable attempts to continue the bore. The CONTRACTOR shall notify the
ENGINEER or proposed measures to attempt to advance past the object, prior to initiating the
attempt. If the CONTRACTOR attempts to pullback and re-drill, the CONTRACTOR shall
adhere to line and grade tolerances established in this Specification section, unless the

cleaned. The ends of the pipes and outside of the gaskets shall be moderately coated with
petroleum jelly, cup grease, soft soap or graphite paste, and the gasket shall be slipped over one
pipe end. After the other pipe has been brought to the correct position, the gasket shall be
centered properly over the pipe ends with the lips against the pipes. The housing sections then
shall be placed. After the bolts have been inserted, the nuts shall be tightened until the housing
sections are firmly in contact, metal-to-metal, without excessive bolt tension.
E. Prior to the installation of sleeve-type couplings, the pipe ends shall be cleaned thoroughly for a
distance of 8 inches. Soapy water may be used as a gasket lubricant. A follower and gasket, in
that order, shall be slipped over each pipe to a distance of about 6 inches from the end, and the
middle ring shall be placed on the already laid pipe end until it is properly centered over the joint.
The other pipe end shall be inserted into the middle ring and brought to proper position in relation
to the pipe already laid. The gaskets and followers shall then be pressed evenly and firmly into
the middle ring flazes. After the bolts have been inserted and all nuts have been made up
fingertight, diametrically opposite nuts shall be progressively and uniformly tightened all around
the joint, preferably by use of a torque wrench of the appropriate size and torque for the bolts.
F. Valve boxes with concrete bases shall be installed as shown on the Drawings. Mechanical joints
shall be made in the standard manner. Valve stems shall be vertical in all cases. Place cast iron
box over each stem with base bearing on compacted fill and top flush with final grade. Boxes

August 11, 2011
Pursuant to your authoriza.tion, DRIGGERS ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. has
completed the geotechnical investigation at the requested locations along the planned pipeline route.
Presented herein are the results of our field and labora.tory siudies together with a discussion of subsurface
soil and groundwater conditions encountered.
PLANNED CONSTRUCTION
Information provided to us indicates that the subject proj ect will invoive the consh-uction of parallel
concentrate disposal and backwash pipelines between R/O (Reverse Osmosis) Plant # 1 located on Duncan
Avenue north of Airport Drive and the Brackish R/O WaterTreatm�nt Plant #2located east oftT. 5.19,
north of Gulf-to-Bay. We understand that the pipes would be 6 to 12 inches in diameter and would be
constructed generally utilizing a combination of directional drilling, jack and bore and direct burial methods.
The route investigated runs east along Airport Drive and the south end of the Clearwater Air Park
properry from Duncan Avenue to Hercules Avenue, with a crossing at Keene Road; east along Marilyn
Street to N.E. Coachman Road; crossings ofN.E. Coachman Road and Belcher Road; east along Sharkey
Road to Old Coachman Road; south along Old Coachman and east on Drew Street to U.S. 19.

While plans were not available at the tune our investigation was conducted and this report was
prepared, we were informed that the pipeline would generally ntn along the south side ofthe roadway to
the large wetland near Marilyn Street and CrraharnDrive; along the center ofthe right-of-way from the
wetland to McKinley Street and Marilyn Street; along the north side of the right-of-way along Marilyn
Street and Sharkey Ro.ad. to Old Coachman Road; along the west side of Old Coachman and along the
south side of Drew Street.
Jack and Bore crossings are anticipated crossing Belcher Road at Sharkey Road and at the Old
Coachman Road and prew Street intersection. There may also be a jack and bore crossing at NE
Coachman.. The crossing of Keene Road along:Airport Drive may be constructedby either j ack and bore
or directional drilling methods. We understand that the minimum jack and bore depths will be 10 to 12
feet. The pipeli.nes will be constructed by directionally drilling beneath the wetland along Sharkey Road.
The anticipated pipe depth will be on ttie order of 30 feet in this vicinity. The remainder of the pipelines
would likely be constructed by shallow directional drilling with about 3 to 6 feet of cover. Deeper
directional drilling would l�ely be utilized beneath roads and where necessary to avoid e�cisting utilities.
There may be some areas of open cut and direct burial to accommodate connections or to facilitate
construction. A nominal3 foot depth of cover is anticipated for open cut construction.
GEOTECHIVICAL INVESTIGATION PRUGRAM
SOIL BORINGS - Twenty-five (25) Standard Penetration Test (SPT� borings were requested and
advanced to the requested nominal depths of 15 to 60 feet beneath present grades. The borings were
positioned in the field by our geotechnician utilizing the requested locations along the pipeline aiignment, as
described above, and at loca.tions free of surface obstructions and buried utility lines. The boring locations
were staked in the field for location by the proj ect surveyor. Locations of the borings are illustrated on the
appended Plate I. Note that the upper 6 feet of each boring was advanced with hand auger equipment
with hand cone penetrometer soundings as a precaution against encountering unknown buried utility lines.
Logs of the hand cone and SPT portions of each test boring are presented in the report
attachments. Ground surface elevations on the logs were provided to us by the proj ect surveyor. The logs
contain visual soil descriptions and estimated Unified and AASHTO Soil Classifications corresponding to
each sample interval. The logs also depict tabulated and plotted cone penetrometer and Standard

LABORATORY CLASSIFICATION TESTS - A limited laboratory classifica.tion testing program was
' undertaken to aid in clia.racterizing the engineeri.ng properties of the subsurface soils. Our laboratory tests
included grainsize analyses, Atterberg liquid limit and plastic limit detemiinations and organic content tests.

Corrosivifiy series testing (pH, Resistivity, Sulfates and Chlorides) �was alsa performed on selected soil
types from the anticipated pipe depths atplanned j ack and bore locations. Results of the testing program
are presented on the Summary of Labara.tory Test Results in the appendix. Grainsize analyses are also
included in the report atta.chments reflecting the percent finer (by weight) versus the equivalent grai.n
diameter or U.S. Standard Sieve size.
GENERALIZED SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
SOII. CONDITIONS - The Standard Penetration Test borings have identified a subsurface profile
consisting of an upper unit of fine sands with some to minim a1 silt, clay and organic fines content. These
soils generally comprise the SP to SP-SM Unified and AASHTO A-3 Soil Classifications. Some ofthe
upper sands contained gravel and limerock, evidence ofthe previous roadway and utility construction along
the alignment.
These sandy soils were penetrated to the boring completiondepths at locations B-1 through B-13
and B-16. At therem �n;ng boring locations, interbedded silty to clayey sands and clays were penetrated
belowthe upper sands. These soils comprise the SM, SC and CH Unified and AASHTO A 2-4, A-2-6
and A-7-6 class�cations. The clayey soils were typically first encountered at depths of 4 to 10 feet at
boring locations B-18 through B-25. Corrosivity series testing on soil samples at the anticipated jack and
bore locations suggest that the soils are generally moderately aggressive. However, the sands tested from
a depth of about 20 feet at boring location B-12 are in the extremely aggressive category based upon the
pH value less than 6.0. As requested, selected soil parameters for the varying soil types encountered during
our studies are presented in Table II in the report attachments.
Penetration resistances indicate that the sandy soils are typically very loose to loose in relative
density with medium dense to occasional very dense zones below about 15 feet. The clays recovered
typically exhibited at firm to hard consistency, with some occasional soft clays. Please also note the losses
in drilling fluid circulation which were encountered at the following boring locations and depths:

B-20 @ 34.5'
B-21 @ 35'
B-22 @ 39.5'
B-23 @ 39'

Other than theloss of circulation wluch occutred in a gravel seam within fill at a depth of about 6
feet in boring B-11, the remaining losses of circulation occurred belowthe anticipated.pipeline depth.
Howe�er it should be noted that very loose to loose sands were also encountered at relatively shallow
depths at boring locations B-1 through B-15 and boring location B-21.
GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS - Groundwater was not encountered within a depth of 10 feet at
boring locations B-17 throughB-19, B-24 and B-25 when the borings were conducted in mid-March,
2011. Groundwater levels were measured at a depth range of 3.3 to 14.9 feet below grade at the
remaining bori.ng locations.
Based upon the antecedent rainfall, we would estimate that normal wet season groundwater levels
may generallyoccur at depths shallower than the measured depths. Many ofthe borings revealed fill soils
and, thus there are no soil indicators of seasonal high groundwater levels. Further, all of the alignment is
within developed areas and development and drainage improvements can also affect groundwater levels.
A summary of ineasured and estimated normal seasonal high �oundwater levels is presented in
Table I in the report attachments. Many ofthe estimates are based upon available soil indicators in near-by
borings. The estimated seasonal high groundwater Ievels in borings B-17 through B-25 represent a
perched condition above low permeability silty and clayey soils. Confirmation ofpotential seasonal
fluctuations would necessitate installing shallow piezometers and monitoring groundwater levels during the
wet season.

GEOTEC�INICAL EVALUATION AND REGOMMENDATIONS
DIRECTIONALLY DRILLED CONSTRUCTION - Directionally drilled construetion methods
should generally conform to the Section 555 ofthe most current Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT� Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. The results of our geotechnical
investigation indica.t� that the directional drilling extending to a depth of about 30 feet near boring locations
B-14 and B-15 will primarily penetrate through an upper unit of generally very loose to loose fine sands
with variable silt, clay and organic fines content. Between about 30 to 35 feet, the borings suggestthe
presenee of firm to hard clays and dense, slightly cemented sands.
Care must certainly be exercised during the directional drilling process in order to appropriately
stabilize the horizontal boreliole with drilling slurry so as to avoid potential cavi.ng of overlyi.ng soils that
could cause unaccepta.ble settlementsto overlying or adjacent ntilities, roadways or slruet�es. Conve�sely,
one must avoid over-pressuring the drilling slurry, particularly within the very loose sands at shallow depths,
that could result in unacceptable discharge of drilling slurry to the ground stuface. Accordingly, greater
pipeline depths may be preferable. As previously rioted, there was a loss of drilling fluid circulation witivn
the loose clayey sands penetrated between about 3 8 to 43 feet at boring location B-15 as well as within
the gravel seam at a depth of 6 feet at boring location B-11. The contractor should also be aware ofthe
potential for more permeable sandy seams within the clays and limestone unit.
JACK-AND-BORE CONSTRUCTION - Jack and Bore construction methods should generally
conform to the Section 556 of the most current FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge
Construction. Where pipeline construction may involve jack and bore construction at selected road
Driggers Engineering Services Incorporated
�
crossings, a casing at a depth of about 10 to 12 feet, ormore, would likely encounter very loose to loose
sands in the vicinity of boring locations B-3, B-4, B-12 aud B-13. At the Old Coachman Road - Drew
Street intersection, borings B-20 through 23 suggest that conditions ranging from very loose to loose silty
to clayey sands and fiim to very stifFclays depending upon the depth of the casing. Appropriate excavation
shoring and dewatering will likely be required as discussed subsequently in this report. As with the
directionally drilled conshuction, installation ofthe j ack-and-bore casing must also consider protection of
the overlying roadwa.ys and utility lines particularly where the excavations are in very Ioose to loose sands.
Note tha.t dewatering will be necessary not only fqr the pits, but along the entire length ofthe casing. This
could be accomplished by intermediate dewatering points or by lowering groundwater levels sufficiently
below each pit to provide aradius of influence encompassing the length of the casing. It is, however, the
responsibility of the contractor to devise his own means and methods to accomplish the required
construction.
OPEN CITT CONSTRUCTION - We understand that open-cutting and backfilling may be utilized for
some areas along the route as well as at directionally drilled connection points and j acking and receiving
pits. For shallow pipe connection depths of some 4 to 6 feet, and dependi.ng upon groundwater levels at
the time of construction, dewatering would be expected to be necessary. It is anticipated that a series of
wellpoints would be installed along the pipeline alignment. Piezometers should be installed at points along
the alignment to confirm the effectiveness of the dewatering.
For deeper excavations associated with j acking and receiving pits and excavations where sloping
of excavations would not be practical, sheet piling or trench boxes will lilcely be needed to support the
excavation side walls. Where sheet piling may be utilized, special care must be exercised to limit the
development of any significant vibrations associated with installation and withdrawal activities which could
result in settlements of adj acent roadways, utilities and structures. Forthis reason, it would be imperative,
in our opinion, that sheet piles be installed utilizing techniques that do not impart unacceptable vibrations.
There are specialty contractors with the capability for installing and removing sheeting utilizing non-vibration
techniques. We would recommend contacting Giken American Corporation (phone: 407/3 80-3232) for
details relative to this methodology.
Excavation Shorin� - With respect to the design of an excavation braeing system, we recommend
consideration ofthe following soil parameters which would be applicable for the principally sandy
soils generally evidenced within the anticipated excavation depths:

The at rest lateral earth pressure coefficient is recommended if the shori.ng will essentially be
restrained against lateral deformation of the top which would be needed to approach the active
earth pressure state. The effect of any surcharge loads during construction, suchas stockpiled soii,
must be superi.mposed. Naturally, the design must include an appropriate factor of safety with
respectto the design loads. The contractormust comply with applicable OSHA requirements with
respect to excavation safety.
In order to provide a firm stable working surface, we recommend undercutting the soils aminirnum
of 12 inches belowthe bottom oftheplanned pit elevation. 9Ve recommend careful geqtechnical
inspection at the undercut elevation to identify any unexpected pockets or zones of increased
compressibilitythatmaywarrantfurtherundercutting. However, excessive undercutting shouldbe
avoided if possible.
Following removal of the undercut soils, the excavation should be backfilled to the planned pit
bottom elevation utilizing crushed concrete, crushed granite or hard durable crushed limerock
ha.ving a grading corresponding to an FDOT No. 57. The gravel should be uniformly compacted
so as to produce a firm and unyielding subgrade for construction. The gravel layerwill also aid in
collecting seepage into the excavation. Care must be exercised in the prepara.tion ofthe subgrade
prior to placement of the gravel to avoid any remolding or disturbance of soils at the undercut
elevation.
Dewaterin� - Depending upon the depth of excavation and groundwater levels at the time of
construction, dewatering may be needed to maintain groundwater levels aminimum of 12 inches
beIow excavation depths as well as below any jack and bore casing elevation. It is anticipated that
dewatering would generally be accomplished throug� installation of wellpoints. Due to the stratified
nature of the soils encountered at the boring locations, we suggest that the wellpoints be properly
designed and sand encased so as ta maximize the efficiency ofthe dewatering system. However,
the responsibility of the contractor to devise his own means and methods to accomplish the
Driggers EngineerinG Services Incorporated
E
required dewatering. As with all dewatering programs, it is important to mainta�n careful
observations of the effectiveness of the system prior to initiating excavation and construction
activities. It would, therefore, be important to install piezometers at points along the alignment to
confirm the effectiveness of the dewatering. The dewatering system must consider potential
settlement effects in the vicinity ofthe roads, utilities or neighboring structures. Therefare, it is
recommended that the contractor retain a competent dewatering eonsultant to assist in properly
designing the dewatering system.
Suitabilitv of Egcavated Soils for Use asBackfill - The upper fine sands indicated in our
geotechnical studies will certainly represent suitable materials forreplacement and compaetion as
backfill far open cut construction and inthe jacking andreceivingpits. These fine sands comprising
the SP to SP-SIVI Unified Soil Classifications or the AASHTO A-3 designation should respond
effectively to conventional vibra.tory compaction. Sands with increased fines content, such as the
silty to clayey sands {SM to SC, or A-2-4 and A-2-6 soils) typicallypenetrated below the cleaner
sands could be blended with the cleaner sands to enhance theirworkability. Clay soils (CH or
A-7-6) should be excluded from backfill.
It is important to recognize that the soilsmay exist athigh moish�e contents when excavated below
the:water ta:ble. Accordingly, these soil types may require some adjustment in moisture content
to achieve effcient and effective compaction. In general, it is beneficial to adjust moisture contents
to within f2% ofthe optimum moisture as established by the appropriate Proctor moisture-density
relationship as required by project specifications.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSPECTION AND TESTING - Pipe bacl�'ill and backfill pla.ced
in j acking and receivingpits should be placed and compacted aceording to City of Clearwater or proj ect
specifications. Backfill under all types ofpaving should be compacted inmaximum 12 inch lifts to no less
than 98 percent ofthe Modified Proctor dry density (AASHTO T-180). Backfill outside ofpaved area
should be compacted to no less than 95% ofthe maximum T-180 dry density. We recommend testing
of backfill at a rninirnum frequency of one test per fill lift at intervals not exceeding 300 feet of pipe
excavation.
LIlVIITATIONS - The geotechnical investigation program was undertaken to provide general information
to assist in the design and consmzction of the planned piping at the areas investigated. Our investigation may
not have included all information that the prospective contractor may require in the preparation of his bid

proposal. The contractor is certainly encouraged to conduct such additional studies as he may deem
necessary to qualify his proposal. Studies reIative to envirorunental issues or impacts, other than the
groundwater sampling and testing included herein, was not within our authorized scope of services.
Note that no sampling and testing of groundwater was requested or performed for comparison of
existing groundwater conditions with the parameters listed in The Sta:te of Florida IDepartment of
Environmental Protection "Generic Permit for the Discharge of Produced Groundwater from anyNon-
Contaminated Site Activity", dated February 14, 2000. If open cuts and dewatering are contemplated,
it is our understanding that this groundwater sampling and testing would be required by the City of
Clearwater prior to any groundwater discharge.

STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (ASTM Ik158b)
In the Statidard Penetration Test borings, a rotary drilling rig is
used to advance the borehole to the desired test depth. A viscous
drilliag fluid is cireulat� through the drill rods and bit to stabitize the
borehole and to assist in removal of soft and rock cuttings up and out
ofthe borehoie.
Upon reaching the desired test depth, the 2 inch 0.D. sptit-barrel
sampier or "split spoon", as it is sometimes catled, is attached to an N-
size drilt rod and Iowered to the bottom of the borehole. A 140 pound
automaric haznmer, attached to the drilt string at the ground surface, is
then used to drive the sampter into the fom�ation. The hammer is
successively raised and dropped for a distance of 30 inches using an
automated lifting mechanism. The number of bIows is rewrded for
each 6 inch intervat of penetration or unril virtual refusal is achieved.
In the above manner, the samp(es are ideatiy advanced a total of t8
inches. The sum of the bEows required to effect the finat 12 inches of
penehation is calted the blowcount, penehatioa resistance or "N" vatue
of the particular ma.terial at the sample depth..
Af%r peneGation, the rods and sampler are relracted to the ground
surface where the core saznple is removed, sealed in a glass jar and
transported to the laboratory far verificadon of fceld classification and
storage.
SOIL SYMBOLS AND CLASSIFICATION
Soil and rock samples secured in the field sampling operation were
visuaily classified as to texture, color and consistency. Soil
classifications are presented descriptively and symbolically for ease of
interpretation. The stratum identification lines represent the
approximate boundary between soil types. In mauy cases, this
transition may be graduat.
Gonsistency of the soil as to relarive density or undrained shear
strength, unless othetwise noted, is based upon Standard Penetration
resistauce vataes of "N" values and indusuy: accepted standards. "N"
vaiues, or blowc�unts, are presented in both tabular and graphical form
on each respecti�e boring tog at each sampte interval. The graphical
piot of blawcouat versus depth is for 1lushration putposes only and
does not warrant contiauiry in soil consistency or linear variation
between sample intervals. �
50%.3' The borings represent subsurface conditions at respective boring
locations and sample intervats onty. Variarions in subsurface
DEN07ES �nditions may occur between 6oring Locations. Groundwater depths
5Q BLOWS FOR shown represent water depths at the dates and time shown only. The
4.3• PENETRA.nQ�! absence of water table informati�n does not necessarily imply that
groundwater was not encountered.
