Nothing herein contained relieves Contractor from the duty
to make independent determinations as to weather and other
conditions affecting the proper completion of the work. Failure
for any reason of Director of Transportation to advise Contractor

Agreement as to quantities are but estimates only. From time to
time Director of Transportation shall direct Contractor as to the
prosecution of the work in such a manner as to increase or
decrease such estimates as to the work actually to be done.
Contractor shall comply with such instructions and shall be paid
only for work actually done based on the unit price set out in
the Agreement.

elsewhere shown or described or not, shall, unless the contrary
is elsewhere specifically directed, remain in place, undisturbed
and suitably protected during the course of the work.

without the necessity of approval by the Board as provided in a
Resolution of the Board adopted April 23, 1974.
The above does not 1 imi t the abi li ty of Di rector of
Transportation to issue further detail drawings, explanations and
instructions which are customarily given by an Engineer during
the course of similar work. Director of Transportation will
furnish - Contractor wi th reasonable promptness such further
detailed explanations, instructions and drawings as may be
necessary for the proper execution of the work, and Contractor

intent of the Contract Documents. In giving such additional
instructions, explanations and drawings Director of
Transportation has author i ty to make minor changes in the work

within the scope of the work in accordance with the intent of the
Contract Documents and do not constitute a basis for modification
of the Contract Documents as to price or time.
SS 7. BRAND OR TRADE NAME - SUBSTITUTE OF EQUALS:
Reference is made to Section 3400 of the Public Contracts
Code, which is by this reference incorporated herein with like
effect as if here set forth in full.
If a potential bidder believes he knows of an equal to a
specified brand or trade name which is not mentioned in the
Contract Documents, then such potential bidder may so advise
Director of Transportation of such fact, giving all relevant
information. If appropriate, an addendum will be issued as to
the alleged equal provided that such issuance may be accomplished
at least 5 days before the time fixed for opening bids.
Unless the subject article or product is expressly
designated for matching others in use in a particular public
improvement either completed or in the course of completion, any
bidder may, as part of its bid proposal, include a request for
substitution of an item equal to any specified by brand or trade
name.
Within 35 calendar days after award of the contract,
Contractor may submit to Director of Transportation data
substantiating such a request, and the difference, if any, in
cost. Director of Transportation shall promptly investigate the
request and make a recommendation to County as to equality. The
governing body of County shall promptly determine whether the
substitute is equal in every respect to the item specified, and
approve or deny the request accordingly, and shall notify
Director of Transportation of the determination made, who shall
advise Contractor in writing of the decision. Unless the request
is granted, substitution will not be permitted.
Nothing herein shall Authorize a change in the contract
price o~ prevent the use of change orders in the manner provided
elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
SS 8. FINAL INSPECTION - NOTICE OF COMPLETION:
When the work is ready for final inspection County shall
cause the work to be inspected and subjected to such tests as
seem to it to be required for the purpose of determining if the
work is complete in every respect.
At a meeting of the governing body of County held within 10
days after final inspection, the governing body shall consider

I

the facts developed at the inspection. If it is found that the
work is apparently complete in every respect, County will accept
the work and a notice of completion will be recorded.
As between the parties, the recordation of the Notice of
Completion, unless recorded because of a cessation of labor,
means only that the time for final payment and the commencement
of the guarantee period commences to run.
SS 9. COUNTY'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT:
(1) Contractor shall be adjudged bankrupt or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (2) a receiver or
liquidator is appointed for Contractor or any of his property, or
(3) Contractor shall refuse or fail after Notice of Warning from
County by Director of Transportation to supply sufficient
properly skilled workmen or suitable materials, or (4)
Contractor fails to prosecute the work with such diligence as
will insure its completion within the stipulated time period, or
(5) Contractor shall fail to make payments to persons supplying
labor or materials for the work, or (6) Contractor does not
comply with applicable law or instructions of Director of
Transportation, or (7) Contractor is otherwise guilty of a
substantial violation of any provision of the Contract Documents,
then County without prejudice to such other and further right,
remedy or relief it may be entitled to, may by 10 days notice to
Contractor, terminate the employment of Contractor and his right
to proceed, either as to the entire work, or at County's option,
as to any portion thereof as to which delay shall have occurred
or breach or miscompliance relates, and may thereupon take
possession of the affected work and complete the work by contract
or otherwise, as County deems expedient. In such case Contractor
shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the
work is finished. If the unpaid balance shall exceed the expense
of completion, and other damage, expense or loss of County
occasioned by Contractor I s failure to properly perform, such
excess shall be paid Contractor. If such expense and damage
exceeds the unpaid balance, Contractor is liable to County for
the excess. If County elects to proceed under this Section, it
may take possession of and utilize in completing the work such
materials, supplies, plant and equipment on site which may be
necessary or convenient for the purpose of completing the work,
County is expressly granted the right - acting via Director of
Transportation, an engineer or otherwise - to operate equipment
and machinery on site for the purpose of determining whether it
has a basis for proceeding under this section.
Decision by County not to proceed under this Section does
not constitute a waiver by County of any right it might from time
to time have against Contractor under the Contract Documents.

SS 10. PAYMENT AND MONTHLY ESTIMATES:
Director of Transportation, once each month, after said work
is commenced and until after the completion and acceptance
thereof, shall make and deliver to Contractor duplicate
certificates stating the value of work then completed according
to the contract, estimated according to the standard of the unit
contract price, and thereupon Contractor shall be paid an amount
sufficient with all previous payments to make the aggregate
ninety percent (90%) of the amount earned as certified.
The partial payments made as the work progresses will be
payment on account on work performed as of the 25th of the month
and shall in no way be considered as an acceptance or any part of
the work or material of the contract, nor shall they in any way
govern the final estimate. No such estimate or payment shall be
made when in the judgment of the Director of Transportation the
total value of the work done since the last estimate amounts to
less than $300.
SS 11. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK (FORCE ACCOUNT BASIS):
Extra work to be paid for on a force account basis as
directed by the Engineer will be paid for as set forth in Section
9-1. 03 of the Standard Specif ications. The labor surcharge,

each classification of equipment are listed in the Department of
Transportation publication entitled Labor Surcharge and Equipment
Rental Rates. A copy of which is on file at the Office of the
Director of Transportation and is hereby incorporated herein in

SS 12. FINAL PAYMENT:
Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the work and
its acceptance by the Board of Supervisors, Director of
Transportation will make a proposed final estimate in writing of
the quantities of work done under the contract and the value of
such work and will submit such estimate to Contractor. Within
thirty (30) days thereafter Contractor shall submit to Director
of Transportation his written approval of said proposed final
estimate or a written statement of all claims which he has for
additional compensation claimed to be due under the contract.
On Contractor 's approval or if he files no claims wi thin
said period of thirty (30) days, Director of Transportation will
issue a final written estimate as submitted to Contractor and
County shall pay the entire sum so found to be due after
deducting therefrom all previous payments and all amounts to be
kept and all amounts to be retained under the provisions of the

contract.
If Contractor within said period of thirty (30) days files
claims, Director of Transportation will issue as a semi-final
estimate the proposed estimate submitted to Contractor and the
County will within thirty (30) days pay the sum found due thereon
after deducting all prior payments and all amounts to be kept and
retained under the provisions of the contract, Director of
Transportation shall then consider and investigate Contractor's
claims and shall make, such revisions in the said estimate as he
may find to be due, and shall then make and issue his final
written estimate. County will pay the amount so found due after
deducting all previous payments and amount to be retained under
the contract.
All prior or partial estimates and payments shall be
subjected to correction in the final estimate and payment.
The final estimate shall be conclusive and binding against
both parties to the contract on all questions relating to the
performance of the contract and the amount of work done
thereunder and compensation therefore, except in the case of
gross error. Acceptance of final payment constitutes a release
of County by Contractor of all claims relating to the work.

three years after Notice of Completion.
SS 15. RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY:

property or life, Contractor shall act without previous
instructions as the situation may warrant. Contractor shall
notify Director of Transportation immediately thereafter. Any
compensation claimed by Contractor, together with substantiating
documentation shall be submitted to County via Director of
Transportation.
SS 16. LABOR CODE:
Reference is made to Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 of the
California Labor Code (commencing with Section 1720). By this
reference said Chapter 1 is incorporated herein with like effect

said Chapter 1 deals, among other things with discrimination,
penal ties and forfeitures, their disposition and enforcement,
wages, working hours, and securing worker's compensation
insurance and directly effect the method of prosecution of the
work by Contractor and subject it under certain conditions to
penalties and forfeitures. Execution of the Agreement by the
parties constitutes their agreement to abide by said Chapter 1,
their stipulation as to all matters which they are required to
stipulate as to by the provisions of said Chapter 1, constitutes
Contractor's certification that he is aware of the provisions of
said Chapter 1 and will comply with them and further constitutes
Contractor's certification as follows: "I am aware of the
provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which
require every employer to be insured against liability for
worker 's compensation or to undertake self-insurance in
accordance with the provisions of that Code, and I will comply

Revisions to the Schedule:
If, as a result of the monthly progress update, it appears
the schedule does not represent the actual prosecution and
progress of the work, the Engineer will request, and the
Contractor shall submit, a revision to the schedule logic and
sequence of the Schedule by the Contractor.
The Contractor may also request revisions to the schedule
logic sequence of the Schedule in the event its planning for the

scheduling of its work, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer
in writing, stating the reasons for the proposed revision(s).
If revision to the schedule logic sequence is contemplated,
the Contractor shall so advise the Engineer in writing a least
two (2) weeks prior to the next Schedule Update Meeting,
describing the revisions and setting forth the reasons therefor.
Updating the schedule to reflect actual progress made up to
the date of an update will not be considered revision to logic,
sequence and schedule; in case of disagreements concerning actual
progress to date, the Engineer's determination will govern.
Request for revisions of activity, costs, or redistribution or
cost following network revisions shall only made in a manner and
amounts which are approved by the Engineer.

Time Impact Anaylsis for Changes, Delays, Time Extensions, and
Contractor Requests:
When change orders are initiated, delays are experienced or
the Contractor desires to revise the logic, the Contractor shall
submit to the Engineer a written Time Impact Analysis
illustrating the influence of each change, delay, or Contractor
request on the current contract schedule completion date. Each
Time Impact Analysis shall include a fragment (fragmentary
network analysis) demonstrating how the Contractor proposes to
incorporate the change order, delay or Contractor request into
the Schedule. The analysis shall demonstrate the time impact
based on the date of occurrence of the change, delay, etc., the
status of construction at the point in time; and the event time
computation of all affected activities. The event times used in
the analysis shall be those included in the latest update copy of
the Schedule or as adjusted by mutual agreement.
Activity time delays will not automatically mean that an
extension of contract time is warranted or due the Contractor. It
is possible that a strike or contract modification will not
affect existing critical activities or cause non-critical
activities to become critical, i.e., a strike or modification may
result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that
may exist within an activity chain of the network, thereby not
causing any effect on the contract completion date or time.
Float or slack is not for the exclusive use of or benefit of the
Engineer or the Contractor. Extensions of time or performance
will be granted only to the extent that the equitable time
adjustments for the activity or activities affected exceeds the
total float along the activity chain involved at the time the
change was ordered or delay occurred.
Each Time Impact Analysis shall be submitted in triplicate
and within fifteen (15) days after a delay occurs or notice of
direction for a change is given to the Contractor. In cases
where the Contractor does not submit a Time Impact Analysis for a
specific change order delay, or Contractor request wi thin the
specified period of time, then it is mutually agreed that the
particular change order, delay or Contractor request has no time
impact on the contract completion date and no time extension is
required. Approval or rejection of each Time Impact Analysis by

the Engineer shall be made within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of each Time Impact Analysis unless subsequent meetings and
negotiations are necessary. Upon approval, a copy of the Time
Impact Analysis signed by the Engineer will be returned to the
Contractor. Upon mutual agreement by both parties, fragmentary
network (s) illustrating the influence of change orders, delays
and/or Contractor requests will be incorporated into the Schedule
during the first update after agreement is reached.
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
Payment for any item of work not included in the proposal
but required to be performed by the Contractor in accordance with
either the plans or specifications, shall be considered to be
included in the payment for other contract items of work and no
separate payment will be allowed therefor.
No partial payment will be made for any materials on hand
which are furnished but not incorporated in the work.
TRENCH EXCAVATION SAFETY PLANS:
Attention is directed to Section 6705 of the Labor Code
concerning Trench Excavation Safety Plans. Excavation for any
trench 5 feet or more in depth shall not begin until the
Contractor has received approval, from the Engineer, of the
Contractor's detailed plan for worker protection from hazards of
caving ground during the excavation of such trench. Such plan
shall be submitted at least 5 days before the Contractor intends
to begin excavation for the trench and shall show the details of
the design of shoring, bracing, sloping or other provisions to be
made for worker protection during such excavation. No such plan
shall allow the use of shoring, sloping or a protective system
less effective than that required by the Construction Safety
Orders of the Division of Industrial Safety and if such plan
varies from the shoring system standards established by the
Construction Safety Orders, the plan shall be prepared and signed
by an Engineer who is registered as a Civil or Structural
Engineer in the State of California.

Backfill shall not be placed in trenches or excavations until the pipelines
and structures in the particular section involved have been inspected and
approved for backfilling by the Engineer.
Backfill shall be placed. insofar as practical. as the work progresses,
allowing time for concrete (if used) to attain sufficient strength.
All excavations outside the completed pipelines and structures shall be back-
filled with compacted material to the level of the original ground surface
unless otherwise shown on the drawings or ordered by the Engineer. The
materials used for backfill shall be imported. selected material. or approved
selected excavated materials and shall be placed as directed by the Engineer.
All materials placed within 6" of the pipe or structure shall be free from
rocks or boulders larger than 1 1/2" maximum dimension. and from unbroken
masses of earthy materials which might lodge and thereby cause unfilled pockets
in the excavation.
Unsuitable material encountered at the surface upon which the bedding material
'is to be p1 aced shall be removed to a depth as detennined in the fi e1 d by
the Engineer. Unsuitable material shall be as detennined by the Engineer.
If not otherwise specified, removal of material and additional bedding so
ordered over and above the amount requi red wi 11 be pai d for in accordance
with the specifications unless. however, the necessity for such additional
bedding materials has been occasioned by an act or failure to act on the
part of the Contractor, in which event the Contractor shall bear the expense
of the additional excavation and backfill to the required depth. The
Contractor's attention is called "dewatering" procedures to ensure that an
otherwise stable foundation will not be rendered unfit due to accumulation
of water in the trench excavation. However, the Contractor has the
responsibility to reasonably ascertain the soil conditions prior to bid.
The cost of removing the unsuitable materials should have been known prior
to bid and be included in the bid price.
Imported materials (if any) required for fill or backfill shall be provided
by the Contractor from areas outside the site at his own expense. Such
material shall be as herein specified and must be approved by the Oi strict
before delivery to the site.
1. Structure Backfill. The Contractor shall place all backfill
about structures to the original ground level, or to the
lines shown on the drawings or prescribed by the Engineer.
Fill materials shall be of earth only, and be free from
debris. vegetation. alkali, or other deleterious substances.
All backfill about structures shall be placed in layers
not more than 6" thick prior to compaction, which shall
be obtained by moistening to optimum moisture content prior
to p1 acing and compactinq to maximum density by use of suit-
able equipment approved by the Engineer.

The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to protect
the structure and underground facilities durinq the placement,
compactinq or consolidatinq, and qrading of backfill.
2. Pipeline Backfill. Except as otherwise required by the
construction plans or the standard drawings, the material
used in backfilling to l' above the pipe shall be cohesion-
less, sandy, or sandy gravel material obtained from required
excavation or from approved borrow areas, as shown on the
Contract Drawings or as directed by the Enqineer. This
material shall be carefully placed and compacted to provide
a firm continuous beddinq and encasement for the pipe.
Pi pe sha 11 be shaded the same day it isla i d to protect
it from possible damage and/or thermal expansion. Pipe
zone backfill shall be consolidated by careful flooding
to saturation only, unless compaction by other means is
specified elsewhere in these specifications.
Variations to the foreqoinq pipeline backfill requirement,
when reconmended by the pipe manufacturer or requested by
the Contractor, shall be submitted for approval by the
District prior to,the commencement of such pipe installation.
The method of compaction shall then be proven before
backfilling more than the footage of pipe allowed by the
contract specification. In lieu of a specific contract
requirement, not more than 1000' of pipe shall be laid and
backfilled prior to proving the method of compaction.
The remaining trench backfill shall consist of select backfill
material from the excavation, when available, free from
stones or lumps exceeding 3" in qreatest dimension, and
free from veqetable matter or other unsatisfactory material.
This select material as defined herein and elsewhere in
these specifications, shall be placed in layers not exceedinq
5' in depth. Each lift shall be consolidated in such a
manner that the backfi 11 wi 11 meet the requi rements of these
specifications. Care shall be taken not to disturb the
backfill previously placed, and the Contractor shall at
all times protect the pipe against flotation. '
3. Sewer line Backfill. Backfill shall not be placed in trenches
or excavations until the sewer 1 ines and manholes in the
particular section involved have been inspected and approved
for backfilling by the Engineer.

For all sewer pipe, select cohesion1ess, ~ranular backfill
shall be used up to an elevation 12" above the top of pipe,
imported whenever the En~ineer determines that native material
is not satisfactory. Material for this purpose shall conform
to the requirements as set forth herein. The pipe zone
backfill shall be carefully packed under the haunches of
the pipe and brought up simultaneously on both sides, to
the full specified depth, so as to prevent any displacement
of the pipe from its true a1i~nment. In compactin~ by
floodin~, no ponding of water above the surface of the sand
will be permitted.
Water Line Backfill. Prior to backfilling, all pipe 30"
in diameter and 1ar~er shall be either filled with water
under pressure or braced with stulls sufficiently to prevent
distortion while p1acin~, consolidating and compactin~ back-

accumulation of rubbish. Upon completion of the work and before the final
estimate is submitted, the Contractor shall, at his own cost and expense,
satisfactorily dispose of or remove from the vicinity of the work all plants,
buildings, rubbish, rock, unused and excavated materials belonging to him
or used under his direction during the construction, and in the event of
his failure to do so, the same may be removed and disposed of by the District
at the Contractor's expense. Contractor's responsibility shall include satis-
factory disposal of all debris or protective material resulting from material
delivery such as plastic wrappings, pipe stulls, etc., whether or not the
Contractor furnished such material.
The Contractor shall carryon hi s operations in such sequence and in such
manner as to interfere as little as possible with other improvements. When
the constructi on is adjacent to or on resi denti a 1 property or culti vated
fields or orchards, disposal of material and backfill 'operations shall be
performed in such manner as to restore the properties to their original condi-
tion as nearly as practical as determined by the Engineer. Topsoil shall
be carefully removed, stockpiled, and replaced after the backfill is placed.
As a part of the clean-up operation on faci 1 i ti es in pri vate ri ght-of-way,
the Contractor sha 11 restore the soi 1 the full width of the ri ght-of-way
to a mechanical condition equivalent to that which existed at the time of
the construction operations on such areas, by thoroughly loosening the soil
with subsoilers, or other acceptable means and by discing and leveling if
necessary, any stones, gravel, or other deleterious material left in spoil

Unless otherwise shown on the drawings. the sewer pipe shall be laid contin-
uously through the location of the manhole. After the manhole has been
constructed, the open channel shall be formed by splitting the pipe and
removing the top h~lf. If the open chaMel cannot be formed in this manner,
it shall be formed of concrete wi th the depth equal to the di ameter of the
sewer pipe. The floor of the manhole shall slope at least 2" from the sides
of the manhole to the open channel.
When completed, the top of the manhole cover shall be accurately brought
to the elevation called for on the drawings. or if no elevation is indicated,
it shall be brought flush with the surface of the surrounding ground or pave-
ment. The manholes shall be constructed so that there is not more than 12"
of throat section between the top of the cone and the bottom of the frame.
When located in roadway subgrades, manholes shall be constructed up to the
proper elevation preparatory to street paving, and temporarily covered with
planks or steel plates. After paving operations have been completed the
temporary covers shall be removed and the frames and covers i nsta 11 ed fl ush
with pavement grade.
3.04 CLEANING SEWER LINES. All sanitary sewer mains and laterals shall
be flushed with water and "balled" or cleaned by acceptable method prior
to testing to ensure that all dirt, debris, and obstructions are removed.
This work must be performed in the presence of and to the satisfaction of
the Engineer, and the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least one (1)
working day in advance of starting the cleaning work.
The contractor shall, following backfill, compaction and line
cleaning, provide:
L 3/8" minimum pull ropes from manhole to manhole.

after they and all appurtenances have been completed, backfilled (except
for test tees) and compacted, and are ready for service. In shallow systems,
leakage testing shall follow placement of road base material. Tests shall
be made on each section, including manholes, from one manhole or test tee
to the next, unless grades are flat enough to permit testing two or more
sections at one time.
The method of required test (water test or air test) shall be determined
by the Inspector.

A. Preparation for Tests. Each section of sewer, including house
laterals, between successive manholes shall be tested by closing the lower
end of the section to be tested, the inlet sewer of the upper manhole, and
the ends of house laterals with stoppers, and filling the pipe and manhole
wi th wa ter to a 1 eve 1 of 4' above the invert of the open sewer in the upper
terminal. After the section has been filled, it shall be allowed to stand
for a sufficient length of time to allow the pipe to absorb what water it
will, prior to making the leakage test described in the following paragraphs
(Water Test and Air Test). This period of time for absorption of water shall
not be less than 30 minutes nor greater than 24 hours.
B. Test Procedure and Allowable Leakage.
1. Water Test. The leakage test shall consist of measuring
the quantity of water required to maintain the water level
at the elevation prescribed in the above paragraph for a
period of one (l) hour. The water used in the test shall
be measured through a meter or by other means sati sfactory
to the Engineer. The allowable leakage shall be computed.
from the following formula:
E = 0.0015 DL/h
where E = allowable leakage in gallons
D = inside diameter of the pipe in inches
L = length of line being tested in feet
h = difference in elevation (in feet) between the
water surface in the upper manhole and the invert
of the pipe in the lower manhole
If the leakage during the test periOd exceeds the allowable
leakage, the sewer line shall be overhauled and, if necessary,
relaid until the joints hold satisfactorily under the test.
2. Air Test. Installed pipeline shall be field tested in accord-
ance with the air test specified in the National Clay Pipe
Institute 1967 Supplement to Engineering Manual, and its
supplementary tables contained in the NCPI publication
entitled "Low Pressure Air Test for Sanitary Sewers
{Procedures and Tables)."
Isolation of defects by air test shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to perform; however, if performed by the
District or its agent, they shall be performed at the
Contractor's expense.
C. Alternate Infiltration Test. If excessive groundwater is
encountered in the construction of a section of the sewer, the test for leakage
previOUSly described shall not be used. The end of the sewer at the upper
structure shall be closed SUffiCiently to prevent the entrance of water and
pumping of groundwater shall be discontinued for at least three (3) days,
after which the section shall be tested for infiltration.
\cP
.
F&I Vitrified Clay Sewer Pipe System
02761-10
The infiltration into each individual reach of sewer between adjoining manholes
shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch of inside diameter of sewer per 24
hours per mile. Infiltration in excess of this amount shall be reduced to
a quantity within the specified amount before the sewer will be accepted.
In any case, the Contractor shall stop any individual leaks that may be
observed.
Unless otherwise specified, infiltration will be measured through a meter
or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer.
D. Manhole Leakage. Should an initial test show excessive leakage
in a section of line, it is permissible to draw off the water of a water
test and test the manhole that conta'ned water. This test shall be made
by plugging all openings in the manh~l'l, filling same with water to the same
elevation as used for the initial telL, and checking the loss in a one hour
period. The leakage so determined may be deducted from the total leakage
in the section of pipe initially tested.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the manhole leakage thus determined is
excessive, the Contractor shall wate"proof the interior of the manhole by
applying a coating of grout or an ap~rvved waterproofing material. Excessive
1 eakage is defi ned to be 50 ga 11 ons ppr hour when fi 11 ed to the top of the
barrel sections (not including cone or grade rings). Shallow rectangular
manholes shall be filled to the top of the manhole sections (not including
grade rings), with 50 gallons per hour leakage allowed.
3.06 SEWER PIPE REPAIRS. Sewer pipe leakage in excess of the allowable
maximum shall be corrected by repairs acceptable to the Engineer, and retesting
as required. Mere sealing of leaks shall not be an acceptable repair.
3.07 LATERAL MARKERS. It shall be requi red of the Contractor to pI ace
the required markers at the end of each lateral and to al so return after
curb construction to place the required mark in the face of the curb. An

If the Contractor, upon approval by the Engineer, elects to test a system
utilizing valves and connecting pipe installed by the District, the District
will assume responsibility for any leaks occurring in any pipeline or valve
furnished and installed by the District. In the event Contractor is unable
to satisfactorily test his system because of leaks in the District-installed
system, Contractor shall install temporary bulkheads in his construction
to perform tests, as determined necessary by the Engineer.
Full compensation for furnishing all labor. tools. materials. and equipment
(except water when provided by the District), and for doing all work involved

For convenience of testing, the pipeline may be divided into sections and
each section tested separately. Main line valves may be used in lieu of
special bulkheads, or if valves are not conveniently located, temporary bulk-
heads shall be constructed. Bulkheads shall be constructed to safely withstand
the hydraulic pressures imposed upon them. No payment will be made expressly
for the work and materials required for the bulkheads and any compensation
desired by the Contractor for this work shall be included in the price quoted
for the installation of pipe. The Contractor shall have no claim against
the Di stri ct by reason of requi red construction of bul kheads due to the omi s-
sion of the installation of any or all main line valves.
After the section of pipeline has been bulkheaded and completely filled with
water, it shall be allowed to stand under pressure a sufficient time to allow
the pi pe to obta i n a maximum absorpti on of water and to allow the escape
of air from any air pockets. The pressure shall then be increased to the
specified tesL pressure as hereinafter described. and shall be maintained
at this pressure for not less than four (4) hours.
All pipe shall be tested under a pressure 1 1/2 times the design operating
pressure of the pipe. pressure class/rating marked on pipe. but not less
than 150 pounds per square inch. Maximum test pressure shall not exceed
that determined by the Engineer.
If any leakage is evidenced in the testing of the pipeline, the various
sections of the pipeline shall be isolated for testing between available
valves. or between bulkheads located as directed by the Engineer. The maximum
allowable leakage for pipe shall be two (2) gallons per day per mile of pipe

per inch of pipe inside diameter. If the leakage exceeds this amount, the
section being tested will be considered defective. The Contractor shall
determine the points of leakage, make the necessary repairs and perform another
test. This procedure shall be continued until the leakage in each section
falls below the allowable maximum for that section of pipeline.
Leakage shall be determined by metering the water injected into the pipeline
while under the required pressure. The Contractor shall submit to the District
before and after the test the gage and meter used so that these devi ces may
be tested by this District.
The Contractor shall provide all calibrated meters for measurement of leakage,
all bulkheads or skillets, piping. calibrated gages, pumps and other equipment,
all water not furnished by the District, and all power and labor necessary
for the performance of pressure tests sati sfactory to the Engi neer. The
Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment and labor to fill each section
of pipeline tested and for pumping the water from one test section to another
as may be necessary for obtaining and maintaining the required water pressure
and for filling the entire pipeline with water after the conclusion of the
testing, as hereinafter provided.
The Contractor, at his own expense, shall do any excavation necessary to
locate and repair leaks or other defects which may develop under test,
including removal of backfill already placed, shall replace such excavated
material. and shall make all repairs necessary to meet the required water
ti ghtness after whi ch the test shall be repeated until the pi pe meets the
test requirements. All tests shall be made in the presence of the Engineer.
After the pi pe has met successfully all test requi rements specifi ed herei n.
the entire pipeline shall be filled with water and so maintained until the
completion of the contract unless otherwise ordered by the Engineer.

2.03 CONCRETE MIXING. Concrete shall be ready-mixed, supplied from an
off-site 'commercial ready-mix plant approved by District, each load accompanied
by a bonded weightmaster's certificate listing the quantity of each concrete
ingredient, admixture quantity, water content and slump, and time of loading
and departure from ready-mix plant. Also include notations to indicate equip-
ment was checked and found to be free of contaminants prior to batching.
A. Ready-Mixed Concrete. Unless aporoved otherwise in advance of
batching, all concrete of a single design mix for anyone day's pour shall
be from a single batch plant of a single supplier. Conform to ASTM C94.
except materials, testing and mix design shall be as specified herein. Use
transit mixers equipped with automatic devices for recording number of revolu-
tions of drum.
All applicable mixing reguirements specified herein for concrete mixed at
the site shall govern transit-mixed concrete and the District shall have
free access to the batching plant at all times.
For concrete mixed in top-loading truck mixers, each batch shali be turned
not less than 40 and not more than 300 revolutions of the mixer drum at mixing
speed when the fine and coarse aggregate are charged into the mixer simultane-
ously (cement and water may be charged separately). When the fine and coarse
aggregate are charged into the mixer separately, each batch shall be turned'
not less than 60 and not more than 300 revolutions of the drum at mixing
speeds.
For concrete mi xed in end-loading truck mi xers, each batch sha 11 be turned
not less than 60 and not more than 300 revolutions of the mixer drum at mixing
speed when the mi xer is loaded in excess of 50 percent of the gross drum
volume as provided hereinafter. When the mixer is loaded (not to exceed
50 percent of the gross drum volume) the provisions specified for top-loading
truck mixers will apply.
\z:5
..
Cast-in-Place Concrete
03300-l3
Truck mixers shall be loaded in accordance with manufacturer's capacity
ratings, but in no case shall the volume of mixed concrete exceed 50 percent
of the gross volume of the drum for top-loading mixers and 58 percent of
the gross volume of the drum for end-loading truck mixers.
Mixing speed shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations,
but in no case shall the speed be less than 4 revolutions per minute or greater
than a speed resulting in a peripheral velocity of the drum of 225 feet per
minute. The power unit shall be equipped with a governor to insure constant
speed. Each truck mixer shall be equipped with a device for counting the
number of revol uti ons of the drum, whi ch devi ce shall be interlocked so as
to prevent the di scha rge of concrete from the drum before the requi red number
of turns. After the drum is once started, it shall be revolved continuously
until it has completely discharged its batch. Water shall not be 'admitted
to the mix until the drum has started revolving. The right is reserved to
increase the required minimum number of revolutions or to decrease the desig-
nated maximum number of revolutions allowed, if necessary, to obtain satisfac-
tory mixing, and the Contractor will not be entitled to additional compensation
because of such increase or decrease.
B. Mixinq Water Limitations. If water is added at the batching
plant, ready-mixed concrete shall not be held in the mixer for more than
one and one-half hours from the time the water is added. When temperature
',of concrete is 850F or above, reduce holding time to 45 minutes. Do not
deliver ready-mixed concrete to job with total specified amount of water
incorporated therein. Without 2~ gallons of water per cubic yard, then incor-
porate in mix before concrete is di scharged from mi xer truck. If no water
is added at the batching plant, measured quantities of water shall be added
at the site and a minimum of fifteen minutes mixing given, or mixing to over-
come segregation. Adding of water shall be under observation of Inspector.
Each mixer truck shall arrive at the job site with its water container full.
In event container is not full or concrete tests to a greater slump than
speCified, the load is subject to rejection.
C. Job Mixed Concrete. Contractor shall obtain the approval of
the District for equipment and procedures proposed for job mixed concrete.
D. Consistency and Slump. Adjust quantity of water so concrete
does not exceed maximum slumps specified when placed or specified water cement
ratio; use minimum necessary for workability required by the part of the
structure being cast. Measure consistency of concrete in accordance with
ASTM C143. Concrete exceeding maximum slump will be rejected.

3.04 CONVEYING AND PLACING CONCRETE.
A. Do not pour concrete until reinforcing steel and forms have been
inspected and approved. Notify District not less than one full working day
in advance of readiness for inspection of forms and reinforcing. Specific
approval of individual forms by the Engineer shall be obtained before ordering
of concrete. The Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of 24 hours
notice of a scheduled concrete pour following the completion of forming.
Upon inspection of the forms, reinforcing, waterstop placement, etc., the
Engi neer wi 11 immedi ate ly issue a written approval to pour concrete showi ng
approval of the scheduled pour or disapproval. In the event of disapproval,
the Engineer will show the Contractor the specific deficiencies, for correction
within the 24 hour period prior to the scheduled pour. Upon notification
by the Contractor of correction of deficiencies and reinspection and approval
by the Engi neer, the pour may proceed as schedul ed. In the event requi red
correct ions are not made, or are not approved, the di sapprova 1 of the pour
shall stand and the pour shall not proceed as scheduled, but shall be resched-
uled.
Any concrete not in accordance with these specifications, out of line, level,
or plumb; or showing cracks, rock pockets, voids, stalls, honeycombing, expo-
sure of reinforcing, or any other damage which will be detrimental to the
work will be considered defective and must be corrected and replaced as
directed by the Engineer at no additional cost to the District. Any concrete
work that is not formed as indicated; is not true within l/250th of the span;
is not true to intended alignment; is not plumb or level where so intended;
is not true to intended grades and levels; has voids or honeycombs that have
been cut, resurfaced or fi 11 ed, unless under the di rect i on of the Engi neer;
has any sawdust, shavings, wood or embedded debris; or does not fully conform
to the contract provisions, shall be deemed to be defective and shall be
removed from the site.

shall be submitted daily to the Engineer.
B. Weather.' Do not pl ace concrete during rain or freezing weather
unless approved measures are taken to prevent damage to concrete. Concrete
placed during periods of dry winds, low humidity, high temperatures, and
other conditions causing rapid drying shall be initially cured with a fine
fog spray of water applied immediately after finishing and maintained until
final curing operations are started. Also under hot weather conditions,
steps shall be taken to reduce concrete temperatures and water evaporation
by proper attention to ingredients, prOduction methods, handling, placing,
protection, and curing.
1. Preventative measures taken for concrete placement during
hot or cold weather shall be approved by' the Engineer.
There shall be no placing of concrete when ambient tempera-
tures are below 350F or above 100oF, or when such wi 11 be
the case within 24 hours of the pour. Any concrete previously
placed shall be protected from freezing.
C. Conveyinq. Db not drop concrete from its point of release at
mixer, hopper, tremies, or conveyances more than 6-feet, nor through reinforc-
ing bars in a manner that causes segregation. Provide form windows, tremies,
elephant trunks, and equivalent devices as required. The use of chutes for
conveying or depositing concrete is not allowed except for small isolated
portions of the work and only with prior approval. Deposit concrete directly
into conveyances and from conveyances to fina 1 points of repose. Depos it
concrete so that the surface is kept level throughout, a minimum being permit-
ted to flow from one portion to another.
D. Placing Concrete. Concrete shall be placed and compacted within
90 minutes after water is first added to the mix, and no concrete shall be
placed after there is evidence of initial set. This placing time shall be
reduced to 45 minutes when the temperature of the concrete is 850F or above.

b. Slabs. Place concrete at a rate that ensures all depos-
its are joined to concrete that is still plastic and
within 10 minutes of the previous pour. Concrete
,adjoining alternate slabs shall not be placed until
the adjoining concrete has cured as required elsewhere
in this specification for at least seven days unless
otherwise approved by the Engineer.
5. Field Tests. During the progress of construction, the
District wi.ll have tests made to determine whether the
concrete, as being produced, complies with the standards
of quality specified herein. These tests will be made in
accordance with ASTM C3l and ASTM C39.
Each test will consist of a minimum of four cylinders,
and the District, at his discretion, may take such tests
as frequently as necessary to prove the quality of the
concrete. In no case shall less than one test be made of
each day's pour or of each 50 yards of concrete. The
Contractor shall furnish the concrete for such tests but
the remaining testing expense will be borne by the District.
Specimens will be cured under job conditions.
For all concrete, the standard age of test wi 11 be 28 days,
but the 7-day test may be used provided that the relation
between the 7 and 28 strengths of the concrete is established
by tests for the materials and proportions used.
Slump tests will be in accordance with ASTM Cl43.
Enforcement of Strength Reguirement. Concrete is expected
to reach a higher compressive strength than that indicated
as mlnlmum compressive strength. At least the specified
minimum cement shall be used, and more cement shall be used,
if necessary, to meet all mi nimum and maximum requi rements
shown in the table. Failure to meet these conditions shall
be considered failure of the concrete.
One test shall consist of the results of testing three (3)
standard specimens in accordance with ASTM C3l and C39,
except that if one specimen in a test shows manifest evidence
of improper sampling, molding, or testing, it shall be
discarded and the remaining two strengths averaged. Should
more than one specimen presenting a given test show defects
due to improper sampl ing, mol ding, or testing, the enti re
test shall be discarded.

. .
If the concrete fails to meet the specifications in the
preceding paragraph, the District shall have the right to
ask for additional curing of the affected portion followed
by cores taken in accordance with ASTM C42 all at the
Contractor's expense. If the additional curing does not
bring the average of three cores taken in the affected area
to at least the strength specified, the District may require
strengthening of the affected portions of the structures
by means of additional concrete or steel, or he may require
repl acement of these affected porti ons, a 11 at the
Contractor's expense. Core tests for below-strength concrete
shall be paid for by the Contractor even though such core
tests indicate the concrete has obtained the required minimum
compressive strength.
E. Compaction. Effective compaction shall be obtained by vibration,
agitation, spading, and rodding until the concrete is free from voids, air
bubbles, or rock pockets. Vibrators shall not be used to transport concrete
within the forms. No less than one spare, vibrator for each two vibrators
in use on a pour, each in good working condition shall be kept on the job
during pours. One experi enced workman sha 11 be assi gned to the ope rat i on
of each vibrator as his only duty. Operations not deemed to be satiSfactory
by the District shall be immediately corrected.
1. Vibration. All concrete, with the exception of concrete
slabs 4 inches or less in depth, shall be compacted with
high frequency, internal mechanical vibrating equipment
supplemented by hand spading and tamping. Concrete slabs
4 inches or less in depth shall be consolidated by wood
or metal grid tampers, spading and settling with a heavy
leveling straight edge. Carefully vibrate concrete around
waterstops and ensure the waterstops are not bent or damaged.
a. Vibrators. Vibrators shall be designed to operate
with vibratory element submerged in the concrete, and
shall have a frequency of not less than 7,000 impulses
per minute when submerged. The vibrating equipment
shall be adequate at all times in number of units and
power of each unit to consolidate the concrete to the
maximum practicable density so that it is free from
air pockets, honeycomb, entrapped air and so it closes
snugly against all surfaces of forms and embedded items.
b. Operation of Vibrators. Do not allow vibrators to
contact forms or reinforcing. In vibrating a freshly
placed layer of concrete, the vibrator shall be inserted
vertically through the preceding layers that are still
completely plastic and slowly withdrawn, producing

the maximum obtainable density in the concrete without
creating voids. Under no circumstances shall the
vi brator enter or di sturb concrete that has stiffened
or partially set. The interval of vibrator placing
shall not exceed two-thirds the effective visible
vibration diameter of the submerged vibrator. Avoid
excessive vibration that causes concrete segregation
or causes an inordinant amount of entrained air to
move to the face of the forms, whi ch sha 11 be causes
for rejection of the concrete pour.
c. Re-Vibration of Retarded Concrete. Concrete containing
retarding admixture for structural walls and columns
shall be placed by a schedule that allows each layer
of concrete to be in place and compacted for at least
30 minutes before the next layer of concrete is placed.
Bleed water on the surface of the concrete shall be
removed before additional concrete is placed and the
concrete in place re-vibrated before the next' lift
is placed. At tops of walls and columns concrete
containing excess water or fine aggregate caused by
vibration shall be removed while plastic, and the space
fi 11 ed with compacted concrete of the correct propor-
tions, vibrated in place.
F. Sl abs. Set screeds at maximum 8 foot centers, as approved, and
verify correct elevations with instrument level, and consideration for any
camber in the form. Compact and tamp concrete to bring 3/8 inch mortar to
surface, and wood float to straightedges and screeds. Make finished surfaces
level or" sloped as detailed, with maximum deviation of 1/4 inch from 10 feet
straightedge for exposed finishes, and there shall be no low spots to impound
water. Do not use steel or plastic floats of any kind of initial floating
operations. Unless otherwise specified, do not apply hereinafter specified
finishes until surface water disappears and surface is sufficiently hardened.
Remove all bleed water and laitance as it appears.
G. Tolerances.
1. Forms, sleeves, and inserts shall be set, and concrete shall
be cast, to the lines and grades indicated on the plans
and as detail ed in these specifi cat ions. The maximum
deviation from true line and grade shall not exceed the
tolerances listed in the following table.

3.05 CURING FORMED CONCRETE. Maintain forms containing concrete in a thor-
oughly wet condition until forms are removed. Maintain all concrete in a
continuously moist condition for not less than 7 consecutive days after pouring
(14 days on projects subject to Federal Wage Determinat i on). Keep concrete
moist with fine fog spray until protected by curing materials. Use water
curing method, specified liquid membrane-forming compound, or concrete curing
paper or mats, all subject to approval for each specific use. Vertical
surfaces shall not be cured by sprinkling method unless specifically approved
by the Engineer.

mixed grout, adding only water in the amount recommended
and other structural
Use an approved pre-
by the manufacturer,
B. Generally, use driest practicable mix and pack into place so
no voids remain between steel and the supporting concrete.
C. When necessary, use sufficient water to produce a flowable mixture,
and pour, first forming sand dams to retain the grout until partially set.
When suffi ci ent set is atta i ned, remove dams and pack grout to refusa 1 on
all four sides, to eliminate voidS; fill any resulting edge voids with drier
mix.
D. In all locations where the surface of the grout will be exposed
to view or in an area of high humidity, non-shrink grout shall be recessed
to approximately one-half inch back of the exposed surface and the recessed
area filled with cement mortar grout.

3.08 EQUIPMENT BASES. Provide all concrete bases or foundations shown
for equipment or fixtures included in other Sections of the work unless the
Drawings or Specifications indicate that bases are to be furnished as part
of the equipment.
A. Material. In general, use Class "A" or Class "B" concrete as
required by Article 1.04, unless otherwise specified on the Drawings.
B. Installation of Nuts and Bolts. Work from approved setting
Drawings. Use steel or plywood templates and apply nuts above and below,
to hold bolts in vertical position. During the course of the placement of
any concrete, the Contractor shall have sufficient personnel, of whatever
skill or trade required, available to check the location of all embedded
anchor bolts, edge angles for grating, or any other item which may be deemed
appropriate by the Engineer. This check shall be made immediately after
the work has progressed to a point such that the item shall not be subject
to disturbance and prior to the concrete having obtained sufficient set such
that adjustment of the items, if necessary, cannot be made with unacceptable
damage to the concrete. If the operation is such that repeated checks are
required, they shall be made.
C. Size. Generally, the size indications and dimensions of bases
shown on Drawings are approximate. The actual size, in all cases, shall
be determined from the equipment furnished. Work from approved equipment
supplier's drawings.
3.09 FINISHING FORMED CONCRETE.
A. Within 5 days following the removal of forms, the following finish-
ing operations shall be performed. No other finishing operations are required
for permanently concealed concrete (i .e., concrete below permanent ground
surface or operating water level). When specifically approved by the Engineer,
finishing of concrete may be performed by units, (i .e. a complete wall, a
complete structure, etc.), in which case 10% minimum concrete payment shall
be retained for the finishing operation.
Finishing operations to be performed:
1. Remove projections and offsets.
2. Saturate form tie holes with water and fill voids with mortar

3. Patch all damaged areas due to spalling, voids, rock pOckets
and bleeding of cement (generally caused by form leaks)
with mortar over a concrete adhesive bonding agent manufac-
tured for this purpose and appl ied in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Cut out all rock pockets 'to
sound concrete, edges square to the surface and back beveled,
and patch with tempered mortar applied over an approved
epoxy concrete adhesive. Large areas (as determined by
the Engineer), and all other damaged areas over 1/2 inch
in depth shall be repaired similarly. Other damaged areas
less than 1/2 inch in depth shall be similarly repaired,
but an approved white concrete bonding agent may be used
in place of epoxy concrete adhesive.
4. Finish patches flush with adjoining surfaces and cure the
same as the original concrete.
Attention is directed to the need for properly curing the
repa i r patches, and for util i zi ng the proper bondi ng agent
for a given situation (i .e., below operating water level).
Information regarding the manufacturer's recommended use
shall be furnished to the Engineer for his evaluation.
Pursuant to the speci fi cati ons, a 11 concrete must be cured
for seven (7) days after pouring or patching, including
sacked concrete, except concrete sacked after 7 days following
pouring or patching needs no further curing.
5. Small air holes may be considered those which would be covered
over by sacking, and need not be repaired on external wall s
being waterproofed or other areas not required to be sacked
under the specifications. Air holes larger than this shall
be considered voids.
Mi nor cement paste lea ks a re those not expos ing aggregate
and which can be covered over by sacking, and should be
treated similarly to small air holes. Anything larger shall
be considered a rock pocket or a bleed hole, depending upon
the condition. Some small bleed holes may, at the discretion
of the Engineer, not need to be chi pped out, but may be
merely sandblasted to sound concrete prior to patching.
B. All exposed interior and exterior formed concrete (i .e., concrete
not permanently concealed from direct visible exposure under facility operating
conditions, including gallery and equipment room' walls and ceilings), and
all concrete to be coated in the finished structure shall, in addition to
the foregoing, be Brush-Off Bl ast Cl eaned (SSPC-SP7 -63) to open a 11 paste
and air holes and to remove curing compound and dust. It shall then be rubbed
with cement of consistent color and burlap and/or with brick and water to
eliminate pockets and produce reasonable smooth surfaces suitable for painting.
A reasonable smooth surface shall be defined as a surface with no projections
or form marks greater than 1/16 of an inch and no indentations after finishing.
Chamfers and fillets shall be made straight and true, and uniform.
Concrete to be temporarily concealed until facility is expanded shall be
considered exposed concrete.

C. Monolithic Trowel Finish. For all floor, slab, and flatwork
surfaces not otherwise indicated or specified. After surface water disappears
and floated surface is sufficiently. hardened, steel trowel and retrowel to
smooth surface. After concrete has set enough to ring trowel, retrowel to
a smooth uniform finish free of trowel marks or other blemishes. Avoid exces-
sive troweling that produces burnished areas.
D. Steel Float Finish. Same as monolithic trowel finish, except
omit second retroweling. Apply on following area and surfaces:
1. Apply on floor slab surfaces in water-bearing structures.
2. Areas scheduled to receive resilient floor coverings.

3. Core Tests. Should strength of concrete, as indicated by
tests, fall below required minimum, then additional tests
of concrete which the unsatisfactory samples represent may
be required by District. Testing Laboratory will make such
test in accordance with ASTM C42. Contractor shall fill
the holes made by cutting cores with dry pack concrete.
Tests for below-strength concrete shall be paid for by the
Contractor even though such tests indicate the concrete
has obtained the required minimum compressive strength.
4. Air Content. 'At time that compression test cylinders are
cast, test a sample of the same concrete for air content
in accordance with ASTM C231.
3.17 WATERTIGHTNESS OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES.
A. All concrete structures designed to contain or convey fluid shall
be tested for watertightness by the Contractor by filling with water to levels
approximating what will be attained during operation and measuring the drop
in level due to leakage, if any. These tests shall be made under the direction
of the District, and if necessary, the tests shall be repeated until water-
tightness is insured.
B. Rate of filling shall be limited to minimize shock-effect to
new concrete construction. Water shall be held under each condition long
enough to satisfy the District that the structures are watertight. Structures
shall be free of internal or external water leakage.
C. The total loss of water-level in any basin ,or flume shall not
exceed 1/2 inch depth in 24 hours. Leakage shall be located and stopped
and the structure again tested until this requirement is met. If the structure
does not meet the test, the Contractor shall repair or replace at his own
expense, such part of the work as may be necessary to secure the desired
results, as approved by the District.
D. Regardless of the rate of leakage, there shall be no visible
leakage from any concrete structure.
3.18 ALTERATIONS AND REWORK. Existing concrete surfaces to receive new
concrete shall be heavily sandblasted to expose coarse aggregate and produce

THIS AGREEMENT, entered into between the State of California.
Department of Fish and Game, hereinafter called the Department. and
Ivan Tenf'lcnt of Riverside County Road DPDilrtmpnt , State of
Californla , hereinafter called the operator, is as follows:
WHEREAS,pursuant to Section 1603 of California fish and Game
Code, the operator, on the 20th day of December, 1988, notified the
Department that he intends to substantially divert or obstruct the
natural flow of, or substantially change the bed, channel, or bank of,
or use material from the streambed of, the following water: Santa
Gertrudis and Tucalota creeks , in the County of Riverside, State of
California, Section __ Township __ Range __.
WHEREAS, the Department (represented by Michael Giusti has made
an inspection
of subject area on the 9th day of March , 19~, and) has determined
that
:uch operations may substantially adversely affect existing fish and
Jildlife resources including: Riparian and wetland habitats.
THEREFORE, the Department hereby proposes measures to protect fish
and wildlife during the operator's work. The operator herby agrees to
accept the 'following recommendations as part of his work: (see attached
list of proposed measures).
If the operator's work changes from that stated in the
notification specified above, this agreement is no longer valid and a
new notification shall be submitted to the Department of Fish and Game.
Failure to comply with the provisions of this agreement and with other
pertinent code sections, including but not limited to Fish and Game
Code Sections 5650, 5652, and 5948, may result in prosecu~ion.
Nothing in this agreement authorizes the operator to trespass on
any land or property, nor does it relieve the operator of
responsibility for compliance with applicable federal, state, or local
laws or ordinances. A consummated agreement does not necessarily
constitute Department of Fish and Game endorsement of the proposed
operation, or assure the Department's concurrence with permits required
from other agencies.
This agreement becomes effective on Date of Operator's Siqnature and
terminates March 1, 1991 .

STREAMBED ALTERATION CONDITIONS FOR NOTIFICATION NUMBER: V-88-693
The following provisions constitute the limit of activities agreed to
and resolved by this agreement. The signing of this agreement does not
imply that the Operator is precluded from doing other activities, at
the site. However, activities not specifically agreed to and resolved
by this agreement are subject to separate notification pursuant to Fish,
and Game Code Sections 1600 et seq..
The operator proposes to alter the streambed by realigning and armoring
the stream. The adjacent uplands will be developed for residential
dwellings.
1. The operator shall evaluate the possibility of using an alternative
means of armoring the banks of the stream. It is preferable that a
material which will allow vegetation to establish on the side slopes be
used. A material such as "Armorf1ex" or an equivalent would help
reduce impacts from realigning the channel.
2. The operator shall use a hydroseed mix of native species to help
reestablish grasses and small shrubs within the new channel. This
condition does not have to be met if Riverside County Flood Control
3hows proof that these plants would cause a serious flood hazard.
Proof of flood hazard shall be submitted to the Department for its
concurrence and approval. (No.2 amended, see page 6 )
3. The operator shall complete the revegetation of the areas
identified on the plans submitted with this notification.
4. All revegetation shall be completed within 90 days of completion of
the new channel.
5. The operator shall irrigate the plants until they are able to
survive without irrigation or will establish a permanent irrigation and
maintenance program and submit a written description to the Department
for its approval and inclusion in this agreement.
6. The operator shall monitor all revegetation activities for the
first six months and provide monthly reports on the success of the
revegetation to the Department. The Operator shall monitor quarterly

necessary to complete operations. The disturbed portions of any stream
channel or lake margin within the high water mark of the stream or lake
shall be restored to as near their original condition as possible.
9. Restoration shall include the revegetation of stripped or exposed
areas.
11. If a stream channel has been altered during the operations, its
low flow channel shall be returned as nearly as possible to its natural
state without creating a possible future bank erosion problem, or a
flat wide channel or sluice-like area. If a lake margin has been
I altered, it shall be returned as nearly as possible to its natural
state without creating a future bank erosion problem. The gradient of

Preface:
The objective of the mitigation program is to provide compensatory
mitigation for resource losses which will occur as a result of the
proposed project. The mitigation program will be accomplished
through the implementation of an integral process including
planning, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting. The elements of
the proposed mitigation program are outlined on the following
pages.
Existing wetlands habitat along Santa Gertrudis and Tucalota Creeks
consist of r~parian woodland dominated by scattered mulefat
(Baccharis alutinosa), arroyo willow (Salix lasiolepis), and
Fremont's cottonwood (Populus fremontii). with the exception of a
few large cottonwood trees, the riparian woodland community is in
an early seral stage of succession and is primarily even-aged. This
is apparently a result of periodic disturbance in the form of
flooding. It is anticipated that in the absence of such flooding,
the community would develop to a mature cottonwood-willow riparian
forest. within the limits of the proposed project, this riparian
woodland community currently occupies 2.92 acres.
The proposed project would result in the
disturbance of 60.5 acres of "waters
including the 2.92 acres of wetlands.
placement of fill and/or
of the United States"
The proposed on-site mitigation will consist of two distinct areas:
wetland channel sites and upland areas adjacent to the channel.
The primary wetland channel site will consist of a 20-foot wide
corridor running the length (3.23 miles) of the proposed channel
(7.83 acres total). The mitigation area will be located at the base
of one side slope.
Additionally, a channel will be constructed to convey stormflow
from surrounding developments to Tucalota Creek. Riparian woodland
vegetation will be established in the tributary channel providing
approximately 1.8 acres of riparian woodland.
A total of 9.6 acres of riparian woodland will be established as
mitigation for impacts to the existing 2.92 acres. This will
provide an in-kind replacement ratio of 3.3 to 1.
In addition to the 9.6 acres of riparian woodland, 9.5 acres of
"upland woodland" will also be created. This habitat type will be
established adjacent to the proposed Tucalota Creek channel and
adjacent to the storm runoff channel. This will result in the
creation of a total of 19.1 acres of habitat.
Side slopes of Tucalota

,The mitigation areas will be monitored for a five-year period.
Corrective measures will be undertaken as needed to ensure
compliance with specified success criteria.

IV. MONITORING
schedule: Year 1: Monthly
Year 2: Quarterly
Years 3 - 5: Semi-annually
1. Success criteria for tree height and tree and shrub
survival have been established for the project by the
California Department of Fish and Game (Notification No. V-88-
693) as follows:
TREE HEIGHTS
SPECIES SIZE AT HEIGHT
PLANTING 3 years 5 years
Arroyo willow 1 gallon 10 feet 15 feet
(Salix lasiolepis)
Fremont's cottonwood 1 gallon 5 feet 9 feet
(Populus fremontii) 5 gallon 9 feet 15 feet
15 gallon 13 feet 20 feet
California sycamore 1 gallon 5 feet 9 feet
(Platanus racemosa) 5 gallon 7 feet 13 feet
15 gallon 10 feet 1B feet
SURVIVAL
All plantings shall have a m~n~mum of 80% survival in the
first year and 100% thereafter for the life of the project.
This shall apply to trees and shrubs.
PERCENT COVER
In addition to the success criteria established by the
California Department of Fish and Game, a success criteria
based upon percent cover shall be utilized. Plantings shall
achieve minimum of 75% cover by the fifth year of monitoring.
This shall apply to trees and shrubs. Hydroseeded species
shall attain a minimum of 75% cover each year.
2. Conduct simple random sample of trees and shrubs for growth
measurement
Using simple random sampling techniques, the mean growth
Shall be calculated for the entire tree population within
the mitigation area. Calculations shall be based on the
mean height of all trees upon the first site visit and
upon the mean height of a population sample (30% sample)
for subsequent site visits. A random number table and the
tree identification numbers shall be used to identify
those trees to be measured during random sampling.

3. Conduct simple random sampling of hydroseeded areas for
establishment success and percent cover
Line-plot transects will be utilized for determining
establishment success and percent cover. Permanent
transect lines shall be established within the
hydroseeded areas. These lines shall be permanently
marked on the site and shall be identified on site plans.
Along each line, random plots shall be sampled to
determine species frequency and percent cover.
4. Determine percent cover of trees and shrubs
Percent cover of trees and shrubs shall be determined
during field surveys by visual estimation. During field
visits in the fall (Le. October), a biologist
experienced in ecological measurement shall determine
percent cover by visual estimation. Percent cover shall
be determined for the entire mitigation area and shall be
the combined cover of all tree and shrub species to be
planted.
5. Identify plants not in vigorous condition and/or dead/dying
plants for replacement
During each site visit, those plants which are not in a
vigorous condition or which are identified as dead or
dying shall be noted by tag number. The list of all such
plants shall be submitted to the proj ect proponent.
Additionally, recommendations shall be submitted
identifying those plants which should be replaced to
comply with success criteria. Each year, a map showing
those plants not in vigorous condition and/or dead or
dying shall be submitted to the project proponent prior
to the optimal planting period.
6. Identify other corrective measures necessary for mitigation
success.
Corrective measures necessary to ensure compliance with
success criteria will depend on site conditions during
monitoring. It is anticipated that corrective measures
could include: modifications to irrigation system,
planting additional trees and/or shrubs, provide
additional fertilization or, exclude vandals/trespassers.
Additional corrective measures may be identified and
implemented during the monitoring efforts.
7. Identify exotic plants for removal
All exotic plants (i.e. castor bean, giant reed,
tamarix,...) shall be removed prior to landscaping.
Following landscaping, the location of exotic plants

shall be noted on a site map once each year. The map
shall be submitted to the project proponent. It is
expected that the landscape contractor shall be
responsible for the removal of exotic plants and that
removal shall be conducted concurrently with the
replacement of dead/dying plants. Therefore,
identification of exotic plants shall be conducted during
the late summer. The removal of exotic plants shall be
accomplished manually (i.e. removing above ground
vegetation and digging up and removing roots). If manual
removal is found to be ineffective, herbicide shall be
appl~ed directly to the exotic plants.
8. Wildlife usage of mitigation area
A. A breeding bird survey will be conducted on the
mitigation site each year during the monitoring period.
The survey shall be conducted during the optimal time for
detecting bird species which breed on the site (i.e. May,
during the two hour following dawn, five consecutive
days). All bird species observed or detected by auditory
means (calls) shall be noted. Data generated' by the
breeding bird survey will indicate the habitat value of
the mitigation area with respect to avifauna.
Additionally, the breeding bird survey may indicate the
need for corrective measures with respect to parasitic
species (i.e. brown-headed cowbird eradication).
B. In addition to the breeding bird survey, incidental
observations of wildlife species will be recorded during
monitoring efforts. This will include elements such as
reptiles, mammal sign, and wintering bird species.
V. MITIGATION AREA MAINTENANCE
schedule: as required in conjunction with monitoring
1. verify replacement of plants not in vigorous condition and
dead/dying plants
It is expected that replacement of plants shall be
conducted by the landscaping contractor once each year
during the five year monitoring period. Optimal planting

Gentlemen:
Transmitted herewith, is the report of our geotechnical investigation
performed for the referenced project. The site under consideration is
located approximately 1500 feet northeast of Winchester Road and
approximately 1.4 miles northwest of Ynez Road in the San Gertrudis
Creek bed in the Rancho California Area of Riverside County, California
Our investigation indicates the site is underlain by a variety of
alluvial material types. The major limitations for the construction are
due to relatively high groundwater and potentially liquefiable soils,
Generally, these soils were observed within the upper 15 feet. Below
that depth, soils were observed to be relatively dense and resistant to
1 i quefacti on.
Our analysis indicates that the structure may be satisfactorily
supported upon driven friction piles. We have considered precast
concrete piles and steel H piles for our analysis. Due to the presence
of potentially liquefiable soils within the upper l5 feet, we have
recommended that neither vertical nor lateral support be utilized in the
analysis of pile foundations within that zone.
It has been our pleasure to be of service to you on this project. If
you have any questions, please contact our office.
Respectfull y,

INTRODUCTION
Thi s report presents the resul ts of a Geotechni ca 1 Investi gati on
performed at the site of the proposed bridge across San Gertrudis Creek.
The site under consideration is located approximately 1500 feet
northeast of Winchester Road and approximately 1.4 miles northwest of
Ynez Road in Rancho California, Riverside County, California. A site
plan provided by Rancho Pacific Engineering, was used to locate our
boring locations during our investigation.
SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our investigation was to determine certain engineering
characteristics of the subsoil and to develop foundation design
parameters for the proposed bridge. Our investigation included field
exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and the
preparati on of thi s report. Our i nvesti gati on was performed in
accordance with contemporary soil engineering principles and practice,
We make no other warranty, either express or implied.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project area is located across San Gertrudis Creek, approximately
1500 feet northeast of Winchester Road and approximately 1.4 miles
northwest of Ynez Road in Rancho California, Riverside County,
California. The proposed bridge is to be constructed across San
Gertrudis Creek as part of the proposed Margarita Road.
At the time of our investigation the surface of the site was covered
with trees, marsh plants and weeds. Access to the site of San Gertrudis
Creek was made possible by a paved road used by an active grading
project. The site lies within the 100 year flood plain with drainage
directed westerly along the flow line of the creek. Our field work was
performed across the creek and terminated at the northerly embankment.
SEISMIC CONDITIONS
The site is located in a seismically active area of southern California.
A review of known faults in the area indicate that the site will be most
affected by earthquake events along the Elsinore, San Jacinto and San
Andreas Fault Zones. There are no active faults mapped within the
immediate area. The closest fault to the site is the Wildomar Fault,
the easterly branch of the Elsinore Fault Zone. This feature lies 2.2
miles to the west of the proposed bridge site. We anticipate that
seismic hazards to the site will be primarily due to ground shaking,
lurching within the soil s at the abutment, and liquefaction. Each of
these items may be satisfactorily mitigated in the design of the
structure.

The Wildomar Fault, the easterly branch of the Elsinore Fault Zone, is
approximately 2.2 miles west of the proposed bridge site. Based on the
proximity of the Wildomar Fault, we have considered it to be the "design
fault" for our evaluation.
Based on the data presented by Greensfelder (1974), we estimate the
maximum credible event to be a magnitude of 7.5. For our analysis, we
have used a maximum probable event magnitude of 6.0. This would produce
a peak horizontal bedrock acceleration of 0.57g at the subject site.
Based on statistical data recovered at various earthquake sites, Seed &
Idriss developed curves for peak soil accelerations for use in the
liquefaction analysis. Based on the analysis by Seed & Idriss, we
estimate a peak soil acceleration of O.29g. For design purposes, the
repeatable ground acceleration can be estimated as 65 percent of the
peak soil acceleration with a value of 0.19g.
DISCUSSION
The site is underlain by a variety of alluvial soils consisting of
layers of sand with gravels, sands with silts, silty sand, and silts.
Generally, the consistency of the subsoil may be described as loose to
dense with increased depth.
Groundwater was encountered at depths ranging from 17 to 28 feet beneath
the existing ground surface. For our analysis, we have considered
groundwater at the surface to account for surface water flow
The consistency of the subsoils for the upper 15 feet was observed to be
relatively loose to moderately dense. This was confirmed by
observations of undisturbed samples removed from the penetration sampler
as well as relatively low Standard Penetration Test blow counts.
Calculations were made in order to estimate the liquefaction potential
of the suboils during a seismic event. The method used in making this
determination was in accordance with the simplified procedures developed
by H. Bolton Seed and presented in various publications of the
Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. We have considered a lateral
acceleration of O.l9g in these calculations. Our calculations generally
indicate that the factor of safety against liquefaction is low to
moderate for the upper l5 feet of subsoil. Generally, below 15 feet,
the liquefaction potential appears to be low with factors of safety
greater than l.2. Our design criteria is based on a Factor of Safety of
1,2 or greater for nonliquefiable soils outlined after H. Bolton Seed
and I. M. Idriss. Based on our lab data and analysis, we believe a
liquefaction hazard exists for the upper 15 feet. Our liquefaction
analysis is summarized in Appendix C.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of our field and laboratory investigation, it is our
opinion that the proposed bridge is feasible from a soil mechanic's
standpoint. As stated in the previous section, our analysis indicates
that a liquefaction hazard does exist on the site. This generally means
that a significant loss of the strength of the subsoil should be
anticipated during a seismic event. Therefore, foundations will be
designed at depths below 15 feet as discussed in the Foundation Section
of this report on piles.
Foundation Design:
,
Piles: The results of our investigation indicate that a combination of
point-bearing and friction piles may be used to support the proposed
structure. For our analysis we have considered precast driven concrete
and HP Steel pilings. Support for the point-bearing and friction piles
will commence at a depth of approximately 15 feet beneath the existing
ground surface. Above that depth, neither lateral nor vertical support
should be assumed.
We have

considered the following pile types and sizes: IS-inch
prestress, precast concrete, l4-inch square prestress
and steel HPlO X 57 piles. The chart below indicates the
vertical load bearing capacity of each of the pile types and

Thes~ are single pile capacities, and should be modified in the case of
group piles. This modification should be in accordance with the "Group
Efficiency Factor" as follows:
(n-l)m+(m-l)n
Efficiency = 1 - Q
90nm
m = number of rows
n - number of piles in a row
Q = D/S, in which Q is numerically equal to
angle whose tangent is D/S, degrees
S = spacing center to center of piles, ft.
D = pile diameter ft.
The recommendations previously presented are for driven friction piles.
For preliminary design purposes, we have assumed the use of precast
concrete pil es and steel H-P il es. Other pil e types may al so be
considered. During the installation of the pile foundations, monitoring
should be performed in order to estimate the load capacity of the
individual piles as they are driven. We recommend the use of the ~ave
Equation Analysis for this purpose. The soils which were encountered
are considered to be cohesionless and are not considered to be
s i gnifi cantl y sensi tive. Shoul d pil e load tests be performed, it is our
opinion that they be perfonned immediately after placement. We
recommend that such testing be performed in an area of our exploratory
borings. We further recommend that a continuous record of the drivlng
characteristics be made.
Lateral Design:
Resistance to lateral loads will be provided by a combination of
friction acting at the base of the foundation and passive earth
pr~ssure. A coefficient of friction of 0.33 between soil and concrete
may be used with dead load forces only. A passive earth pressure of 225
pounds per square foot, per foot of depth, may be used for the sides of
footings which are poured against recompacted or dense native material,
For cantilever retaining walls, we recommend using an equivalent fluid
pressure of 70 pounds per cubic foot. This value should be modified in
order to provide for surcharge loads such as those caused by heavy
trucks adjacent to the retaining wall,

Laterally loaded piles should be analyzed as beams imbedded in an
elastic medium. This requires the use of the modulus of subgrade
reaction. This term will be dependent upon the depth of the foundation
as well as certain characteristics of the pile foundation itself. As
stated in the preceding section, this lateral support should not be
considered within the upper 15 feet. This is due to the presence of
potentially liquefiable soil s during a seismic event. It is probable
that the lateral design may be based upon a condition when liquefaction
also is occurring. Subgrade modulus is a function of both the depth of
the foundation and the width of the foundation. We recommend that
horizontal subgrade modulus be used which is equal to 25 times the depth
divided by the pile width. This value is in units of kips per cubic
foot.
GENERAL
The findings and recommendations of this report are based upon an
interpolation of soil conditions between boring locations. We recommend
that the pile driving operation be performed under the observation of a
representative of Inland Foundation Engineering, Inc. A continuous
count of the number of blows required for each foot should be made
available to the Soil Engineer on the site. Information on the type of
driving equipment should be submitted prior to construction.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
For our field investigation, three exploratory borings were excavated by
means of a truck mounted rotary auger rig at the approximate locations
shown on Figure No. A-5. Continuous logs of the materials encountered
were made on the site by a Soil Engineer. These are presented on Figure
Nos. A-2 through A-4.
Representative undisturbed samples were obtained within our borings by
driving a thin-walled steel penetration sampler with successive 30 inch
drops of a 140 pound hammer. The number of blows required to achieve
each six inches of penetration were recorded on our boring logs and used
for estimating the relative consistencies of the subsoils. Two
different samplers were used. The first sampler used was the Standard
Penetration Sampler for which published correlations relating the number
of hammer blows to the strength of the soil are available. The second
sampler type was larger in diameter, carrying brass sample rings having
inner diameters of 2.5 inches. Undisturbed samples were removed from
the sampler and placed in moisture sealed containers in order to
preserve the natural soil moisture content. They were then transported
to our laboratory for further observations and testing.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING
Representative undisturbed and bulk soil samples were obtained in the
field and returned to our laboratory for additional observations and
testing. Laboratory testing was generally performed in two phases The
first phase consisted of testing in order to determine the compaction of
the existing natural soil and the general engineering classifications of
the soils across the site. This testing was performed in order to
estimate the engineering characteristics of the soil and to serve as a
basis for selecting samples for the second phase of testing. The second
phase consisted of soil mechanics testing. This testing included direct
shear, consolidation and expansion testing and was performed in order to
provide a means of developing specific design recommendations based on
the strength and settlement characteristics of the soil.
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPACTION TESTING
Uni t Wei ght and Moi sture Content Oeterminati ons: Each undi sturbed
sample was we1ghed and measured 1n order to determine its unit weight.
A small portion of each sample was then subjected to testing in order to
determine its moisture content. This was used in order to determine the
dry density of the soil in its natural condition. The results of this
testing are shown on the Boring Logs (Figure Nos. A-2 through A-4).
Classification Testing: Seven soil samples were selected for
classiflcatlon testing. This testing consists of mechanical grain size
analyses and Atterberg Limits determinations These provide information
for developing classifications for the soil in accordance with the
Unified Classification System. This classification system categorizes
the soil into groups having simil ar engineering characteristics. The
results of this testing ar2 very useful in detecting variations in the
soils and in selecting samples for further testing. The results of this
testing are presented on Figure Nos. B-3 and B-4.

SOIL MECHANICS TESTING
Direct Shear Testing: Two samples were selected for direct shear
test1ng. ThlS testlng measures the shear strength of the soil under
various normal pressures. and is used in developing parameters for
foundation design and lateral design. Testing was performed using
recompacted and undisturbed test specimens which were saturated for a
minimum of 24 hours prior to testing. Testing was performed using a
strain controlled test apparatus with normal pressures ranging from 375
to 2190 pounds per square foot. The results of this testing are s~own
on Figure Nos. B-5 and B-6.
Triaxial Shear Testing: One sample was selected for Triaxial Shear
Testlng. This testing measures the shear strength of the soil under
various normal pressures and is used in developing parameters for
foundation design and lateral design. Testing was performed using
recompacted test specimens. Testing was performed using remolded strain
controlled test apparatus with confining pressures ranging from 1440 to
4320 pounds per square foot. The results of this testing are shown on
Figure No. B-7.
