and will not require ripping or blasting.
3.1.2 Drainage
Excavation shall be performed so that the area of the site and the area immediately
surrounding the site and affecting operations at the site will be continually and effectively
drained. Water shall not be permitted to accumulate in the excavation. The excavation
shall be drained by pumping or other satisfactory methods to prevent softening of the
foundation bottom, undercutting of footings, or other actions detrimental to proper
construction procedures.
3.1.3 Freezing
When freezing weather is expected, excavations shall not be made to the full depth,
unless the footing concrete can be placed immediately. If excavation is already at full
depth, the excavation shall be protected from frost.
3.1.4 Excavation for Slabs and Footings
The excavations shall conform to the dimensions and elevations of the drawings
applicable to footings and other foundation structures which are cast in place.
3.1.4.1 Limits

TAMP sand.
Place guard wire and warning tape.
Place approximately 14 of select fill above sand (select fill shall contain no particles
that would be retained on a 1 inch sieve).
TAMP and COMPACT select fill to a minimum of 95% of maximum dry density in
accordance with AASHTO-T-99. Compacted depth should be approximately 12
above sand.
Place approximate 14 more of select fill.
TAMP and COMPACT again to a minimum of 95% of maximum dry density.
Place the remaining amount of select fill required and COMPACT and TAMP a third
time. The finished level of the top of the trench shall not exceed 2 inches above the
surrounding grade.
The disturbed area shall be cleaned, raked, and seeded. All trench backfilling shall be to
the approval of the Airport Manager and the Project Engineer. THE CONTRACTOR
SHALL GUARANTEE THAT NO SETTLEMENT OCCURS WHICH LEAVES A

2.2 MATERIALS
2.1.1 Drilling Fluids
Disposal of fluids is the responsibility of the Contractor. Dispose of fluids in a manner

that is in compliance with all permits and applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.
Use a high quality bentonite drilling fluid to ensure hole stability, cuttings transport, bit
and electronics cooling, and hole lubrication to reduce drag on the drill pipe and the
product pipe. Use only fluid with a composition which complies with all Federal, State,
and local environmental regulations. Mix the bentonite drilling fluid with potable water
(of proper pH) to ensure no contamination is introduced into the soil during the drilling,
reaming, or pipe installation process. The Contractor is responsible for any required pH
adjustments. Disposal of the drilling fluids is the responsibility of the Contractor.
Conduct disposal in compliance with all relative environmental regulations, right-of-way
and work space agreements, and permit requirements. Collect drilling fluid returns in the
entrance pit, exit pit, or spoils recovery pit. Immediately clean up any drilling fluid spills
or overflows from these pits. Drilling fluids may not be disposed on the airport without
the approval of the airport manager.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
Insure all utilities are located and clearly marked prior to start of excavation or drilling.
3.1.1 Drill Set-Up
Design and construct the drill entrance and exit pits.
3.1.2 Drill Entrance and Exit Pits
Drill entrance and exit pits are required. Maintain at minimum size to allow only the
minimum amount of drilling fluid storage prior to transfer to mud recycling or processing
system or removal from the site. Do not allow drilling mud to flow freely on the site or
around the entrance or exit pits. Remove spilled mud and restore ground to original
condition.[ Provide shore pits in compliance with OSHA Standards, 29 CFR 1926.652].
When drilling near wetlands or water courses, provide secondary containment to prevent
drilling fluids from entering the wetlands, and secure written approval of secondary
containment plan from the Contracting Officer.
3.1.3 Drill Entrance and Exit Angle
Ensure entrance and exit angles and elevation profile maintains adequate cover to reduce
risk of drilling fluid breakouts and ground exit occurs as specified herein. Ensure that
entrance and exit angles generate pullback forces that do not exceed 5 percent strain on
the polyethylene pipe.
02400 Page 3
3.1.4 Pilot Hole
The type and size of the pilot string cutting head and the diameter of the drill pipe is at
the Contractor's discretion.
Drill the pilot hole along the path shown on the plan and profile drawings. Pilot hole
tolerances are as follows:
a. Vertical Tolerance: Provide minimum cover below channel bottom as specified

on the plans. Pilot hole may go deeper if necessary to prevent breakout.
b. Horizontal Tolerance: Plus/minus 60-inches from the centerline of the product
pipe.
c. Curve Radius: No curve is acceptable with a radius less than 1,000-feet.
d. Entry Point Location: Make pilot hole entry point within plus/minus 60-inches of
the location shown on the drawings or as directed by the Resident Engineer in the
field. Ensure that entry point location does not conflict with RSA or TSA
boundaries.
e. Exit Point Location: Make the exit point location within plus/minus 60-inches of
the location shown on the drawings or as directed by the Contracting Officer in
the field. Ensure that exit point location does not conflict with the RSA or TSA
boundaries.
f. Mandatory pipeline cover requirements are as shown on the drawings or as
specified.
3.1.5 Guidance Systems
Unless otherwise indicated, walkover guidance systems are acceptable for this project. If
additional precision is deemed necessary, due to utility crossings discovered in the field,
the resident engineer may require, at his discretion, the use of a grid system. If required a
magnetic survey tool locator installed behind the pilot string cutting head and an electric
grid (tru-tracker) system shall be used for guidance.
3.1.6 Reaming
Conduct reaming operations at the Contractor's discretion. Determine the type of back
reamer to be utilized by the type of subsurface soil conditions that are encountered during
the pilot hole drilling operation. The reamer type is at the Contractor's discretion.
3.1.7 Pull Back
Fully assemble the entire pipeline to be installed via directional drill prior to
commencement of pull back operations. Support the pipeline during pullback operations
in a manner to enable it to move freely and prevent damage. Install the pipeline in one
continuous pull. In general splices in the conduit are not allowed. The contractor must
obtain written authorization from the project engineer to use any splices. Minimize
torsion stress by using a swivel to connect the pull section to the reaming assembly.
02400 Page 4
Maximum allowable tensile force imposed on the pull section is not to exceed 90 percent
of the pipe manufacturer's safe pull (or tensile) strength. If the pull section is made up of
multiple pipe size or materials, the lowest safe pull strength value governs and the
maximum allowable tensile force is not to exceed 90 percent of this value. Minimize
external pressure during installation of the pullback section in the reamed hole. Replace
damaged pipe resulting from external pressure at no cost to the Government. Buoyancy
modification is at the discretion of the Contractor.
3.1.7 Conduit Splices and Transitions
When placing HDPE conduit underground through a bore, use one continuous length of
flexible HDPE conduit. In instances where a continuous run of conduit is not possible,
individual sections shall be joined using heat-welded (fused) connections. After emerging
from a bore, the HDPE will typically terminate in a manhole at both ends. To join lengths
of conduit together after emergence from a bore, follow these procedures:
a. If the emerging HDPE conduit is to be joined to PVC conduit, the HDPE

conduit section shall be run into the bell end of the PVC conduit and cemented
using a special two-part bonding agent such as BonDuit Conduit Adhesive
with minimum connection strength as shown in Table 1. Adhesives typically
used for connecting PVC segments are not of sufficient strength for HDPE-to-
PVC transitions and shall not be used. Alternatively, the HDPE conduit may
be connected to a PVC coupling on the end of a length of PVC conduit. If the
connection is not occurring in a vault it shall also be completely encased in a
minimum of 3 inches of concrete.
b. Connections between sections of HDPE conduit shall be joined by heat-
welded connections only. Mechanical connections are not allowed. The
connection shall be of strength equal to or greater than that of the original
pipe. Acceptable joining techniques are butt, saddle, and socket fusion.
Electofusion is also acceptable. The contractor shall select the method of
fusion from the aforementioned list, and submit to the project engineer
documentation demonstrating the strength of the connection.
TABLE I Adhesive minimum pullout-force requirements for bonding

HDPE to PVC conduit materials.

1 Inch 2 1/8 Inch 760 lb
1 Inch 2 3/8 Inch 1,140 lb
2 Inch 2 Inch 1,520 lb
4 Inch 3 Inch 4,560 lb
02400 Page 5
3.2 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Maintain drilling logs that accurately provide drill bit location (both horizontally and
vertically) at least every 1 foot along the drill path. In addition, keep logs that record, as a
minimum the following, every 15 minutes throughout each drill pass, back ream pass, or
pipe installation pass:
a. Drilling Fluid Pressure

b. Drilling Fluid Flow Rate
c. Drill Thrust Pressure
d. Drill Pullback Pressure
e. Drill Head Torque
Make all instrumentation, readings, and logs available to the Resident Engineer at all
times during operation and provide a copy to the Project Engineer after installation is
complete.
3.3 CLOSEOUT ACTIVITIES
Immediately upon completion of work, remove all rubbish and debris from the job site.
Remove all construction equipment and implements of service leaving the entire area
involved in a neat condition acceptable to the Resident Engineer. Immediately clean
"blow holes" or "breakouts" of drilling fluid to the surface and return the surface area to
its original condition. Dispose of all drilling fluids, soils, and separated materials in
compliance with Federal, State, and local environmental regulations. Submit an
electronic copy of the boring record to the Project Engineer within five days after
completing the pull back. Include in the record a plan, profile, and all information
recorded during the progress of the work. Clearly tie the record drawings to the project's
survey control. Maintain and submit upon completion signed complete work logs of
guided directional drill operations.

yielding spots in the subgrade areas having inadequate compaction and deviations of the
surface from the requirements set forth herein shall be corrected by loosening and
removing soft or unsatisfactory material and by adding approved material, reshaping to
line and grade and recompacting to density requirements specified herein. The completed
subgrade shall not be disturbed by traffic or other operations and shall be maintained by
the Contractor in a satisfactory condition until the surface course is placed.
3.8 PLACEMENT OF SOIL STERILANT
Water-soil liquid soil sterilant (herbicide) shall be applied to all finished roads,
walkways, parking areas, and areas where crushed rock was installed. Apply herbicide
per the manufacturers instructions.
3.10.1 Testing
Compaction testing shall be arranged by the contractor and performed by an independent

testing company (in the presence of the Resident Engineer) at the expense of the
contractor. If these tests show that the compaction is less than specified, the contractor
3.10.2 Certification
The contractor shall furnish a certificate that all materials, compositions, densities and
mixtures to be used in the construction of access roads and walkways meet local or state
requirements. The contractor shall provide the Resident Engineer, at the time of delivery,
two copies of the aggregate delivery ticket or bituminous concrete delivery ticket. The
tickets shall indicate the delivery date, time dispatched, name and location of the project,

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 TRANSPORTING AND PLACING
3.1.1 Transporting
Transport the hot-mix asphalt from the mixing plant to the site in clean, tight
vehicles. Schedule deliveries so that placing and compacting of mixture is
uniform with minimum stopping and starting of the paver. Provide adequate
artificial lighting for night placements. Hauling over freshly placed material will
not be permitted until the material has been compacted as specified, and allowed
to cool to 60 degrees C 140 degrees F.
3.1.2 Placing
Place and compact the mix at a temperature suitable for obtaining density, surface
smoothness, and other specified requirements. Upon arrival, place the mixture to the full
width by an asphalt paver; it shall be struck off in a uniform layer of such depth that,
when the work is completed, it will have the required thickness and conform to the grade
and contour indicated. Regulate the speed of the paver to eliminate pulling and tearing of
the asphalt mat. Unless otherwise permitted, placement of the mixture shall begin along
the centerline of a crowned section or on the high side of areas with a one-way slope.
Place the mixture in consecutive adjacent strips having a minimum width of 3 m 10 feet.
The longitudinal joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal joint in the course
immediately below by at least 300 mm 1 foot; however, the joint in the surface course
02740 Page 6
shall be at the centerline of the pavement. Transverse joints in one course shall be offset
by at least 3 m 10 feet from transverse joints in the previous course. Transverse joints in
adjacent lanes shall be offset a minimum of 3 m 10 feet. On isolated areas where
irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical spreading and
finishing equipment impractical, the mixture may be spread and luted with hand tools.
3.2 COMPACTION OF MIXTURE
After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by rolling.
Compact the surface as soon as possible without causing displacement, cracking or
shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the
discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently
slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any
displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any
other cause, shall be corrected at once. Furnish sufficient rollers to handle the output of
the plant. Continue rolling until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross
section, and the required field density is obtained. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to
the roller, keep the wheels properly moistened but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with hand
tampers. Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-
cracking, or is in any way defective shall be removed full depth, replaced with fresh hot
mixture and immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall
be done at the Contractor's expense. Skin patching will not be allowed.
3.2.1 Density Requirements
Unless otherwise indicated in the final compacted density of the mix shall be as follows:
Table 3: Density Requirements

Requirement Specification Limit
Mat Density, Percent of Theoretical 92.0 96.0
Maximum Density (TMD)
Joint Density, Percent of TMD 90.5 92.5
3.3 JOINTS
In general cold joints are not allowed. If a cold joint is necessary it must be approved in
advance by the resident engineer and shall conform to the specification herein. The
formation of hot joints shall be performed ensuring a continuous bond between the
courses and to obtain the required density. All joints shall have the same texture as other
sections of the course and meet the requirements for smoothness and grade.
3.3.1 Transverse Joints
Do not pass the roller over the unprotected end freshly laid mixture, except when
necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint, it shall
be made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course. The tapered edge
02740 Page 7
shall be cut back to its full depth and width on a straight line to expose a vertical face
prior to placing material at the joint. Remove the cutback material from the project. In
both methods, all contact surfaces shall be given a light tack coat of asphalt material
before placing any fresh mixture against the joint.
3.3.2 Longitudinal Joints
Longitudinal joints which are irregular, damaged, uncompacted, cold (less than 80
degrees C 175 degrees F at the time of placing adjacent lanes), or otherwise defective,
shall be cut back a maximum of 75 mm 3 inches from the top of the course with a cutting
wheel to expose a clean, sound vertical surface for the full depth of the course. All
cutback material shall be removed from the project. All contact surfaces shall be given a
light tack coat of asphalt material prior to placing any fresh mixture against the joint.
The Contractor will be allowed to use an alternate method if it can be demonstrated that
density, smoothness, and texture can be met.
3.4 BASE COURSE
Construct a graded aggregate base course on a well-graded surface. Provide line and
grade stakes for control. The base course shall consist of aggregate processed, deposited,
spread, and compacted. The Contractor shall be responsible for protection of completed
areas against detrimental effects. Recondition, re-shape, and re-compact areas damaged
by rainfall or other weather conditions. Compact to a field density of at least 95% of the
Maximum Density at Optimum Water Content.
3.5 QUALITY CONTROL
3.5.1 TESTING
Testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the

Government. Testing shall be performed by an approved commercial testing laboratory or
by the Contractor subject to approval. Tests shall be performed in sufficient numbers to
ensure that specified density is obtained. Test results shall be furnished to the Resident
Engineer.
3.5.1.1 In-Place Density
Conduct any necessary testing to ensure the specified density is achieved. A nuclear
gauge may be used to monitor pavement density in accordance with ASTM
D2950/D2950M.

contaminant can be removed. In the case of form or reinforcement displacement, placing
may be continued only if the displacement is corrected within specified tolerances. The
placing of concrete shall be a continuous operation at each deposit site and shall be
completed within 1-1/2 hours after the addition of water. Concrete shall be deposited in
12 to 18 inch layers as level as possible prior to consolidation operations. Under no
circumstances shall fresh concrete be placed over concrete that is no longer plastic. Time
between placements at each deposit site shall not exceed one hour for regular mixes and
two hours for retarded mixes.

3.1.5 Cylindrical Concrete Piers
Tops of piers shall be furnished flat within the confines of the Sonotube forms. Unless
otherwise approved, the edges shall have a 1/2 or 3/4 radius. No spillage
(mushrooming) over the tops of forms will be allowed.
3.1.6 Consolidation
Consolidation of concrete during and after placing shall be performed using an internal
vibrator with a vibration frequency not less than 150 hertz. Each layer shall be
consolidated so that concrete is thoroughly worked around reinforcement, embedded
items and forms. Vibrators shall penetrate about 6 inches into underlying layers to ensure
proper union of the layers. Movement of the vibrator over the layer shall be such as to
ensure uniform plasticity without pooling of cement.
3.1.7 Finish
After the concrete has been placed and consolidated, the surface shall be screed with
straight edges, floated, and troweled to the required finish level. All concrete surfaces
shall have a smooth finish except for exposed top surfaces which shall have a broom
finish. Broom lines shall be straight and parallel to the form edges and well defined.
Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings, the foundation surface shall be level +/- 1/8"
and all exposed edges shall be chamfered 1 inch (1/2 or 3/4 radius on circular tops). A
NEAT, CLEAN, PROFESSIONAL CONCRETE FINISH IS REQUIRED! Concrete not
meeting this requirement shall be completely removed and replaced at the contractors
expense.
Apply a Concrete Curing Compound (SealMaster or as approved) as directed by the

manufacturer and as approved. Concrete Curing Compound should generally be applied
once the concrete is firm enough to walk on with no surface water present (about one
hour after final trowelling or when application will not mar surface).
3.2 CURING
Concrete shall be maintained above 50 degrees F and less than 120 degrees F and in a
moist condition during the cure period. The cure period shall be 7 days when Type I
Portland cement is used and 3 days when Type III Portland cement is used. Exposed
surfaces shall be covered with burlap, cotton, or other approved fabric or sand. If air
temperatures are expected to exceed 75 degrees F, water curing shall be continuous and
forms shall be loosened as soon as the concrete has set sufficiently to prevent damage. In
conditions where air temperature may be expected to fall below 40 degrees F, equipment
and covering to maintain a 50 degree concrete temperature shall be provided. Salt or
other chemicals to prevent freezing shall not be permitted.

BASIC ELECTRICAL MATERIALS AND METHODS
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 GENERAL
This section covers the requirements for electrical work. The work covered under this
section consists of furnishing all labor, tools, equipment and material to install the
electrical work shown on the drawings and/or described by these specifications.
1.1.1 Workmanship
All electrical installation work shall be performed by experienced electricians regularly

engaged in this type of work and properly licensed when required. All materials and
equipment shall be installed in conformance with the contract documents, and in
accordance with recommendations of the manufacturer as approved by the Resident
Engineer.
1.1.2 Interpretation of Drawings
In general, the drawings utilize accepted diagrammatic symbolism to indicate electrical

construction work. This symbol does not have any dimensional significance. The layout
of wiring, circuits, outlets, and equipment is developed as an engineering aid and should
not be interpreted as a release from responsibility for installing the work without space
conflict, but all work shall be installed in accordance with the diagrammatic intent of the
drawings. The contract drawings indicate the extent and approximate location and
arrangement of equipment, conduit, and wiring. The Contractor shall determine exact
location from field measurements, so that the outlets and equipment will be properly
located and accessible. If any conflicts occur necessitating departures from the contract
drawings, details of departures and reason shall be submitted as soon as possible for
written approval from the Site Representative. In the event of a discrepancy between the
specifications and the drawings, the specifications shall prevail.
1.1.3 Rules
The installation shall conform to this specification, the contract drawings and to the
applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code, local code, or FAA standards.
In cases where regulations and/or contract documents are conflicting or discrepancies
occur, the more stringent requirement shall be followed and enforced.
16050 Page 1
1.1.4 Coordination
It is the responsibility of the contractor to totally familiarize himself/herself with the

scope of the work involved and to coordinate his work with the other trades and
personnel involved with the job site.
Additionally it is the responsibility of the contractor to coordinate any facility outages

with the appropriate FAA and airport personnel. Under no circumstances does the
contractor have the authority to de-energize any FAA equipment.
1.1.5 Lock Out - Tag Out (LOTO)
It is the responsibility of the contractor to prepare a LOTO plan for energizing the new
equipment. The contractor shall submit a plan to the FAA for approval before any
electrical work can begin. The contractor shall locate all power lines and transformers
inside the AOA that provides electrical service to the facilities covered in this
specification and will install new labels as approved by the FAA on all above ground
transformers. Provide two sets of spare fuses for all transformers and power racks. See
attachment for an example of information needed for the LOTO plan.
1.1.6 TRDR forms
The contractor will complete all tests and complete the TRDR forms as shown in the
attachment.
1.1.7 Utility Service and Interruption of Service
Contact on site FAA personnel to coordinate outages for power and equipment
connections. The FAA Operations at this facility are providing aircraft flight control
and assistance information which is required for safety of the aircraft and the public,
therefore, any power loss to facility equipment is very serious and must be carefully
coordinated with facility personnel. Unscheduled interruptions of electrical service
to FAA facilities or equipment may cause aircraft accidents and loss of life. Work
requiring a temporary or permanent de-energizing of equipment shall be scheduled
in writing with the onsite FAA maintenance personnel through the Contracting
Officers Representative. Only onsite FAA maintenance personnel are authorized
to energize, de-energize equipment or to operate a circuit breaker, switch or fuse
in a FAA facility. Determine all interface requirements and provide material and
labor needed to complete any connections to be scheduled during an outage. Work
procedures shall include lock-out/tag-out procedures in accordance with FAA
