is received by the city/county prior to the closing time, and provided further, the
city/county is satisfied that a written confirmation of the telegraphic modification over

by the city/county until the sealed bid is open. If written confirmation is not received

of the available data does not satisfy the locality that the bidder is qualified to carry out
properly the terms of the contract.
9. Unit Price

overhead so that the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the quantity shown for
each item by the unit price bid represents the total bid. Any bid not conforming to this
requirement may be rejected as informal. Special attention is drawn to this condition, as

a) The contract will be awarded to the responsive, responsible Bidder submitting the
lowest/best bid. The bidder selected will be notified at the earliest possible date.
The locality reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality in
bids received where such rejection or waiver is in its interest.
b) The locality reserves the right to consider as unqualified to do the work any bidder
who does not habitually perform with his own forces the major portions of the work
~-- involved in construction of the improvements embraced in this contract.
15. Execution of Agreement/Performance and Payment Bonds
a) Performance and Payment Bonds, requires all prime contractors which enter into a
formal contract in excess of X25,000 with the State, any department, board, agency,
municipality, county, school district or any division or subdivision thereof, to obtain a

"' impair the obligations of any surety or sureties under any bond or bonds furnished under

health, life, limb or property, the Contractor shall make no change in the materials used
or in the specified manner of constructing and/or installing the improvements or supply
additional labor, services or materials beyond that actually required for the execution of
the Contract, unless in pursuance of a written order from the Locality authorizing the
Contractor to proceed with the change. No claim for an adjustment of the Contract Price
will be valid unless so ordered.
c) If applicable unit prices are contained in the Agreement, the Locality may order the
Contractor to proceed with desired unit prices specified in the Contract; provided that in
case of a unit price contract the net value of all changes does not increase the original
total amount of the agreement by more than twenty-five percent (25%) or decrease the
original the total amount by eighteen percent (18%) for counties or twenty-five percent
(25%) for cities.
d) Each change order shall include in its final form

lump sum contract.
8. Claims for Extra Cost
a) If the Contractor claims that any instructions by Drawings or otherwise involve extra cost
or extension of time, he shall, within ten days after the receipt of such instructions, and in
any event before proceeding to execute the work, submit his protest thereto in writing to
the Locality, stating clearly and in detail the basis of his objections. No such claim will be
considered unless so made.
b) Claims for additional compensation for extra work, due to alleged errors in ground
elevations, contour lines, or bench marks, will not be recognized unless accompanied by
certified survey data, made prior to the time the original ground was disturbed, clearly
showing that errors exist which resulted, or would result, in handling more material, or
performing more work, than would be reasonably estimated from the Drawings and maps
issued.
c) Any discrepancies which may be discovered between actual conditions and those
represented by the Drawings and maps shall be reported at once to the Locality and work
shall not proceed except at the Contractor's risk, until written instructions have been
received by him from the Locality.
d) If, on the basis of the available evidence, the Locality determines that an adjustment of
the Contract Price and/or time is justifiable, a change order shall be executed.
9. Termination Delavs and Liquidated Damages
a) Right of the Locality to Terminate Contract.
In the event that any of the provisions of this contract are violated by the Contractor, or by
any of his subcontractors, the Locality may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
the Surety of its intention to terminate the contract. The notices shall contain the reasons
for such intention to terminate the contract, and unless such violation or delay shall cease
and satisfactory arrangement of correction be made within ten days, the contract shall,
upon the expiration of said ten (10) days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such
termination, the Locality shall immediately serve notice thereof upon the Surety and the
Contractor. The Surety shall have the right to take over and perform the contract.
Provided, however, that if the Surety does not commence performance thereof within ten
(10) days from the date of the mailing to such Surety of notice of termination, the Locality
may take over the work and complete the project by bid/contract or by force account at
the expense of the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the Locality for any excess
cost incurred. In such event the Locality may take possession of and utilize in completing
the work, such materials, appliances, and plant as may be on the site of the work and
necessary therefore.
b) Liquidated Damages for Delays.
If the work is not completed within the time stipulated in the applicable bid for Lump Sum
or Unit Price Contract provided, the Contractor shall pay to the Locality as fixed, agreed,
and liquidated damages (it being impossible to determine the actual damages
occasioned by the delay) the amount of ($ 500.00 ) for each calendar day of
delay, until the work is completed. The Contractor and his sureties shall be liable to the
Locality for the amount thereof.
c) Excusable Delays
• The right of the Contractor to proceed shall not be terminated nor shall the Contractor
be charged with liquidated damages for any delays in the completion of the work due
to:
Any acts of the Government, including controls or restrictions upon or requisitioning
of materials, equipment, tools, or labor by reason of war, national defense, or any
,,,, other national emergency;
Any acts of the Locality;
• Causes not reasonably foreseeable by the parties to this Contract at the time of the
execution of the Contract which are beyond the control and without the fault or
negligence of the Contractor, including, but not restricted to, acts of God or of the
public enemy, acts of another Contractor in the performance of some other contract
with the Locality, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine, restrictions, strikes, freight
embargoes, and weather of unusual severity such as hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones
and other extreme weather conditions.
Provided, however, that the Contractor promptly notifies the Locality within ten (10)
days in writing of the cause of the delay. Upon receipt of such notification, the
Locality shall ascertain the facts and the cause and extent of delay. If, upon the
basis of the facts and the terms of this contract, the delay is properly excusable, the
Locality shall extend the time for completing the work fora period of time
commensurate with the period of excusable delay.
10. Assignment or Novation
The Contractor shall not assign or transfer, whether by an assignment or novation, any of its
rights, duties, benefits, obligations, liabilities, or responsibilities under this Contract without
the written consent of the Locality; provided, however, that assignments to banks or other
financial institutions may be made without the consent of the Locality. No assignment or
novation of this Contract shall be valid unless the assignment or novation expressly provides
that the assignment of any of the Contractor's rights or benefits under the Contract is subject
to a prior lien for labor performed, services rendered, and materials, tools, and equipment
"° supplied for the performance of the work under this Contract in favor of all persons, firms, or
corporations rendering such labor or services of supplying such materials, tools, or
equipment.
11. Disputes
a) All disputes arising under this Contract or its interpretation except those disputes covered
by FEDERAL LABOR STANDARDS PROVISIONS whether involving law or fact or both,
or extra work, and all claims for alleged breach of contract shall, within ten (10) days of
commencement of the dispute, be presented by the Contractor to the Locality for
decision. Any claim not presented within the time limit specified in this paragraph shall
be deemed to have been waived, except that if the claim is of a continuing character and
notice of the claim is not given within ten (10) days of its commencement, the claim will
be considered only for a period commencing ten (10) days prior to the receipt of the
Locality.
b) The Contractor shall submit in detail his claim and his proof thereof
c) If the Contractor does not agree with any decision of the Locality, he shall in no case
allow the dispute to delay the work but shall notify the Locality promptly that he is
proceeding with the work under protest.
12. Technical Specifications and Drawings
Anything mentioned in the Technical Specifications and not shown on the Drawings or vice
versa, shall be of like effect as if shown on or mentioned in both. In case of difference
between Drawings and Technical Specifications, the Technical Specifications shall govern.
In case of any discrepancy in Drawings, or Technical Specifications, the matter shall be
immediately submitted to the Locality, without whose decision, said discrepancy shall not be
adjusted by the Contractor, save only at his own risk and expense.
13. Shop Drawinos
a) All required shop drawings, machinery details, layout drawings, etc. shall be submitted to
the Engineer in five {~ copies for approval sufficiently in advance of requirements to
afford ample time for checking, including time for correcting, resubmitting and rechecking
if necessary. The Contractor may proceed, only at his own risk, with manufacture or
installation of any equipment or work covered by said shop drawings, etc. until they are
approved and no claim, by the Contractor, for extension of the contract time shall be
granted by reason of his failure in this respect.
b) Any drawings submitted without the Contractor's stamp of approval will not be considered
and will be returned to him for proper resubmission. If any drawings show variations from
the requirements of the Contract because of standard shop practice or other reason, the
Contractor shall make specific mention of such variation in his letter of transmittal in order
that, if acceptable, suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of contract price
and/or time, otherwise the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility for
executing the work in accordance with the Contract even though the drawings have been
approved.
c) If a shop drawing is in accordance with the contract or involves only a minor adjustment
in the interest of the Locality not involving a change in contract price or time; the engineer
may approve the drawing. The approval shall not relieve the Contractor from his
responsibility for adherence to the contract or for any error in the drawing.
14. Requests for Supplementary Information
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to make timely requests of the Locality for any
additional information not already in his possession which should be furnished by the Locality
under the terms of this Contract, and which he will require in the planning and execution of
the work. Such requests may be submitted from time to time as the need approaches, but
each shall be filed in ample time to permit appropriate action to be taken by all parties
involved so as to avoid delay. Each request shall be in writing, and list the various items and

A. 1. (i) Minimum Wages. All laborers and
mechanics employed or working upon the site of the
work (or under the United States Housing Acf of
1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the
construction or development of the project), will be
paid unconditionally and not less than once a week,
and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are
permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of
Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3), the
full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits
(or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment
computed at rates not less than those contained in
the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor
which is attached hereto and made a part hereof,
regardless of any contractual relationship which
may be alleged to exist between fhe contractor and
such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made
or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon
Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are
considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR
5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or
costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but
not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs, which cover the particular weekly period,
are deemed to be constructively made or incurred
during such weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the
appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the
wage determination for the classifcation of work
actually performed, without regard to skill, except as
provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or
mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate
specified for each classification for the time actually
worked therein: Provided, that the employer's
payroll records accurately set forth the time spent in
each classification in which work is performed. The
wage determination (including any additional
classification and wage rates conformed under 29
CFR Part 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis-Bacon poster
(WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the
contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the
work in a prominent and accessible place where it
can be easily seen by the workers.
{ii)(a) Any class of laborers or mechanics
which is not listed in the wage determination and
which is to be employed under the contract shall be
classified in conformance with the wage rate and
fringe benefits therefore only when the following
criteria have been met.

classification requested is not performed by a
classification in the wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the
area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including
any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage
determination.
(b) If the contractor and the laborers and
mechanics to be employed in the classification (if
known), or their representatives, and HUD or its
designee agree on the classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits
where appropriate), a report of the action taken
shall be sent by HUD or its designee to the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative, will

employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio
of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any
craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio

specified in the contractor's or subcontractor's
registered program shall be observed. Every
apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the registered program for the
apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a
percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified

program, the contractor will no longer be permitted
to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.

of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be
greater than permitted under the plan approved by
the Employment and Training Administration. Every
trainee must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the approved program for the trainee's
level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable
wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not
mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the
full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the
corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage
determination which provides for less than full fringe
benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on
the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered
and participating in a training plan approved by the
Employment and Training Administration shall be
paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the work actually performed.

site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for
the work actually pertormed. In the event the

approval of a training program, the contractor will no
longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than
the applicable predetermined rate for the work
performed until an acceptable program is approved.

,_ A. Size: the minimum main size shall be eight (8) inches, except that six inch (6")
will be permitted only at the direction of the City Engineer or his designated
appointee (in low flow situations, in standard length cul-de-sacs or lines less than
200 feet in length which will not be extended in the future).
B. Sanitary Sewer mains in new subdivisions shall be placed to produce a
minimum velocity of 2 feet per second (based on the calculated flows) and in no
case be flatter or steeper than the grades as set forth below:
Size in) Grade (ft/ftl Grade % Max. Grade(%1
6"	0.0050	0.50%	12.35%
8"	0.0040	0.40%	8.40%

Section 800
810 General Requirements
810.01 Acceptance testing criteria are the minimum requirements to be used
within the jurisdiction of the City of Kerrville. The jurisdiction of the City of
Kerrville is defined as the area bound by the ETJ of the City of Ierrville.
This includes any private system which will connect or which may connect
to City utilities.
810.02 Calibration of all gauges pressure or vacuum gauges shall have a
sticker affixed upon the gauge certifying it has been calibrated within the
preceding six months before the equipment is allowed to be used for
acceptance testing.
810.03 The Contractor will not be permitted to load the new piping by
opening a valve connected to an existing system. The Contractor may use an
.~ existing service or install a new service in the existing main. The connection
shall be installed with a mechanical backflow prevention device and shall be
metered.
820 Water Main Testing
821 Acceptance Testing of Water Main
821.01 Laboratory Testine of Backfill -Backfill must meet the requirements
as set forth in Section 600 and as shown in the standard details. During
construction the backfill for water mains must be compacted to 95-100%
Standard Proctor (ASTM D-698) and field density tests must be taken and
compared to the corresponding proctor horizontally every 100 linear feet at a
vertical depth of 2-ft. Backfill with too much moisture that, upon a visual
.., inspection, shows pumping will be rejected and require drying and
reworking. Backfill that fails a density test must be recompacted for a length
and depth specified by the inspector and retested. All tests must be done in
the presence and under the direction of a city inspector. Copies of all tests
must be forwarded to the City Engineer or his designated representative
within two weeks of the test date. The CiTy Engineer or a city inspector may
require testing at intervals greater than described if needed.
821.02 Hydrostatic Testing: After the pipe has been installed and backfilled
and al] service laterals, fire hydrants and other appurtenances installed and
connected, a pressure test, followed by a leakage test, shall be conducted by
the Contractor and witnessed by a City of Kerrville Inspector. The use of a
reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow prevention device shall be used when
-- City of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- ( Acceptance Testing
loading the water main (see Water details, Section 380). The Contractor will
furnish all the equipment required for the tests. Before applying the
specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. If permanent
air vents are not located at all high points, the Contractor shall install
corporation cocks at such points.
All water services and fire hydrant leads, with the main 6-inch gate valve
open, the hydrant valve seats closed and nozzle caps open, shall be included
in the test.
A. Pressure Test: New mains shall be hydrostatically field tested
before acceptance by being placed under 1.5 times system pressure,
(or 175 psi) for a period of not less than 24 hours. It is the intent of
these specifications that all joints be watertight and that all joints
which are found to leak either by observation or during any test shall
be made watertight by the Contractor. Repairs shall be made by the
Contractor to correct any leaking or defective materials.
B. Pressure Pipe Leakage Test: A leakage test will follow the
pressure test and be conducted on lengths not to exceed 1000 feet or
each valved section. The leakage test shall be at 150 psi for at least 2
hours and not to exceed 6 hours.
C. Allowable Leakage: Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of
water that must be supplied into the newly laid pipe or any valved
section thereof to maintain pressure within 5 psi of the specified test
pressure after the pipe has been filled with water and the air has been
expelled. Leakage shall not be measured by a drop in pressure in a
test section over a period of time. Allowable leakage shall be defined
as any leakage under the following formula:
L = SD(P)t~ / 133,200
Where:
L =allowable leakage, in gallons per hour
S =length of pipe tested, in feet
D =nominal diameter of the pipe, in inches
P =average test pressure during the leakage test, in psig
If repairs are required, the hydrostatic field test shall be repeated until the pipe installation
conforms to the specified requirements and is acceptable by the City Engineer.
D. Location and Correction of Leakage: If such testing discloses
leakage in excess of this specified allowable, the Contractor, at his
City of Kemille Standard Specifications Section 800- 2 Acceptance Testing
expense, shall locate and correct all defects in the pipe line until the
leakage is within the indicated allowance.
All visible leakage in pipe shall also be corrected by Contractor at his
own expense.
E. Operation of valves: No valve in the City's water distribution
system shall be operated by the Contractor without prior authorization
by the City. The Contractor shall notify the City when a valve is to be
operated and shall operate the valve only in the presence of the City's
representative.
821.03 Disinfection of Potable Water Lines: The Contractor shall protect all
piping materials from contamination during storage, handling and
installation. Prior to disinfection, the pipeline interior shall be clean, dry and
unobstructed. All openings in the pipeline shall be closed with watertight
plugs when pipe laying is stopped at the close of the day's work.
Water for the Work shall be metered and furnished by the Contractor.
However, fees for water usage will be waived on Capital Improvement
Projects.
The Contractor, at his expense, will supply the test gauges and the Sodium
Hypochlorite conforming to ANSUAWWA B300, which contains
approximately 5 percent to fifteen percent available chlorine. Calcium
Hypochlorite conforming to ANSUAWWA B30Q which contains
approximately 65 percent available chlorine by weight, may be used in
granular form or in 5 g tablets for 16" diameter or smaller lines.
During construction, granules or tablets shall placed in the pipe for
disinfection. Water mains and appurtenances must be completely installed,
°- flushed, disinfected, and satisfactory bacteriological sample results received
prior to permanent connections being made to the active distribution system.
°- A. Procedure and Dosage: Connection to the existing system will be
allowed with a valve arranged to prevent the strong disinfecting
dosage from flowing back into the existing water supply piping. The
-- valve shall be kept closed. No other connection shall be made until
the disinfection of the new line is complete and the water samples
have met the established criteria. The valve shall remain closed at all
~-- times. The new pipeline shall not be filled by opening the valve to
the existing system. The new pipeline shall be filled completely by
using an existing service or by installing a new service. Regardless
--- of the method used, a backflow prevention device shall be installed.
Every part of the line shall contain a minimum concentration of 50
ppm available chlorine.
,w City of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- 3 Acceptance Testing
The disinfecting solution shall be retained in the piping for at least 24
hours and all valves, hydrants, services, stubs, etc. shall be operated
so as to disinfect all their parts. After this retention period, the water
shall contain no less than 25 parts per million chlorine throughout the
treated section of the pipeline.
The heavily chlorinated water shall then be carefully flushed from the
potable water line until the chlorine concentration is no higher than
the residual generally prevailing in the existing distribution system or
approximately one part per million. Proper planning and appropriate
preparations in handling, diluting, if necessary, and disposing of this
strong chlorine solution is necessary to insure that there is no injury
or damage to the public, the water system or the environment.
Additionally an authorized representative of the City must witness the
flushing.
Approval for discharge of the diluted chlorine water or heavily
chlorinated water into the wastewater system must be obtained from
the Water and Wastewater Utility Department. The line flushing
operations shall be regulated by the Contractor so as not to overload
the wastewater system or cause damage to the odor feed systems at
the lift stations.
B. Bacteriological Testing: After final flushing of the strong
disinfecting solution, water samples from the line will be tested for
bacteriological quality by the City and must be found free of coliform
organisms before the pipeline may be placed in service. One test
sample will be drawn from the end of the main and additional
samples will be collected at intervals of not more than 1000 feet
along the pipeline. All stubs shall be tested before connections are
made to existing systems.
The Contractor, at its expense, shall install sufficient sampling taps at
proper locations along the pipeline. Each sampling tap shall consist of
a standard corporation cock installed in the line and extended with a
copper tubing gooseneck assembly. After samples have been
collected, the gooseneck assembly may be removed and retained for
future use.
Samples for bacteriological analysis will only be collected from
suitable sampling taps in sterile bottles treated with sodium
thiosulfate. Samples shall not be drawn from hoses, fire hydrants or
unregulated sources. The City, at its expense, will furnish the sterile
sample bottles and collect the test samples. Testing fees will be paid
by the Contractor at the time of sampling.
If the initial disinfection fails to produce acceptable sample test
results, the disinfection procedure shall be repeated. Before the
CiTy of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- 4 Acceptance Testing
piping may be placed in service, satisfactory test results must be
obtained.
An acceptable test sample is one in which: (1) the chlorine level is
similar to the level of the existing distribution system; (~) there is no
free chlorine and (3) the total coliform count is zero. An invalid
sample is one, which has excessive free chlorine, silt or non-coliform
growth. if invalid sample results are obtained for any pipe, the
Contractor may, with the concurrence of the Inspector, flush the lines
and then collect a second series of test samples for testing by the City.
After this flushing sequence is completed, any pipe with one or more
failed samples must be disinfected again in accordance with the
approved disinfection procedure followed by appropriate sampling
and testing of the water.
The City of Kemille Laboratory will notify the assigned City of
Kerrville Inspector in writing of all test results. The Inspector will
subsequently notify the Contractor of all test results. The Laboratory
will not release test results directly to the Contractor.
830 Wastewater Testing
831 Acceptance Testing of Wastewater Manholes
Manholes shall be tested separately and independently of the wastewater
°° lines.
831.01 Vacuum Method: Apre-vacuum test shall be performed by the
Contractor after assembly and prior to backfilling. A vacuum test will be
performed after backfill and base installation.
All lift holes and exterior joints shall be plugged with anon-shrink grout
prior to backfilling. No grout shall be placed in horizontal joints prior to
testing.
Testing after backfill and compaction are complete will be the basis for
acceptance of the manhole.
A. Equipment:
~- 1. Plug Design: Pneumatic plugs shal] be used. All plugs
shall be designed to resist internal testing pressures without
the aid of external bracing or blocking.
w 2. Singular Control Panel: To facilitate test verification by the
Inspector, all air used shall pass through a single, above
•- ground control panel.
City of KemiOe Standard Specifications Section R00- 5 Acceptance Testing
3. Equipment Controls: The above ground air control
equipment shall include ashut-off valve, pressure regulating
valve, pressure relief valve, input pressure gauge and a
continuous monitoring pressure gauge having a pressure range
from 0 to at least 10 psi. The continuous monitoring gauge
shall be no less than 4 inches in diameter with minimum
divisions of 0.10 psi and an accuracy of+/-0.04 psi.
4. Separate Hoses: Two separate hoses shall be used to: (1)
connect the control panel to the sealed line for introducing
low-pressure air, and (2) a separate hose connection for
constant monitoring of air pressure build up in the line. This
requirement greatly diminishes any chance for over pressuring
the line. A separate hose shall also be required to inflate the
pneumatic plugs from the above ground control panel.
B. Procedures:
1. Manhole section interiors shall be carefully inspected; units
found to have through-wall lift holes, or any penetration of the
interior surface by inserts provided to facilitate handling, will
not be accepted. Coating shall be applied after the testing
unless coating is applied is applied at the factory. All lift
holes and exterior joints shall be plugged with an acceptable
non-shrink grout. No grout shall be placed in horizontal joints
prior to testing.
2. After cleaning the interior surfaces of the manhole, the
Contractor shall place and inflate pneumatic plugs in all of the
connecting pipes to isolate the manhole; sealing pressure
within the plugs shall be as recommended by the plug
manufacturer. Plugs-and the ends of pipes connected by
flexible boots shall be blocked to prevent their movement
during the vacuum test.
3. The vacuum test head shall be placed on the top of the cone
section or, inside of the top of the manhole cone section, and
the compression seal band inflated to the pressure
recommended by its manufacturer. The vacuum pump shall
be connected to the outlet port with the valve open. When a
vacuum of 10 inches of mercury has been attained, the valve
shall be closed and the time noted. Tampering with the test
equipment will not be allowed. Vacuum gauges shall not
show evidence of sticking, and gauge that shows evidence of
CiTy of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- 6 Acceptance Testing
sticking shall be replaced with a calibrated gauge prior to any
additional testing.
4. The manhole shall have passed the test if the vacuum does
not drop below 9 inches of mercury within 2 minutes. The
actual vacuum shall be recorded at the end of the test time
minutes during which the valve was closed.
5. When the standard vacuum test cannot be performed
because of design or material, testing shall be performed as
directed by the City Engineer.
831.02 Smoke Testing: All rings and covers shall be smoke tested by City
personnel upon completion of project and prior to final acceptance. Any
defects shall be repaired.
831.03 Failure to Pass the Test -- Records of Tests: If the manhole fails to
pass the initial test method as described in (1) Test by the Vacuum Method,
_ the Contractor shall locate the leak, if necessary by disassembly of the
manhole, checking gaskets and replacing if necessary, re-lubrication and re-
assembly, or Contractor may install an acceptable exterior joint sealing
product on all joints and then retested. If any manhole fails the vacuum
M. twice, the Contractor shall consider replacing that manhole. If the Contractor
chooses to attempt to repair that manhole, the manhole must be retested until
it passes. In no case shall cold applied preformed plastic gaskets be used for
~~ repair. Records of all manhole repairs/testing shall be made available to the
City Engineer prior to acceptance. Any damaged or visually defective
products, or any products out of acceptable tolerance shall be removed from
the site.
At a minimum, test records on all manholes that fail, shall include the
~~ following and shall be part of the project records turned in with the
acceptance package.
°+ Name of the manhole manufacturer
Date tested/date re-tested
Passed/failed and state what was done to correct the problem
Test Method Used
Location/station of manhole
Precast/cast-in- place bottom
Type of Coating
Any repairs made to the joints.
831.04 Inspection: The City Engineer Representative shall make a visual
inspection of each manhole after it has passed the testing requirements and is
considered to be in its final condition. The inspection shall determine the
CiTy of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- 7 Acceptance
completeness of the manhole; any defects shall be corrected to the City
Engineer satisfaction.
The City Engineer Representative may, at any time, require a calibration
check of the instrumentation used. The Vacuum gauge shall have a
calibration sticker within the last six (6) months.
832 Quality Testing for Installed Pipe
832.01 Laboratory Testing of Backfill -Backfill must meet the requirements
as set forth in Section 600 and as shown in the standard details. During
construction the backfill for sewer mains must be compacted to 95-100%
Standard Proctor (ASTM D-698) for 4-10 feet of cover or 95-100% of
Modified Proctor (ASTM D-1557) for more than 10 feet of cover and density
tests must be taken and compared to the corresponding proctor horizontally
every 100 linear feet and vertically at the following depths (depending on
depth of sewer main): 2 ft, 5 ft, 7.5 ft, 10 ft, 12.5 ft. Backfill that fails a
density test must be recompacted for a length and depth specified by the
inspector and retested. In addition, where Moisture Sensitive Material is
used as backfill (See Section 600 and standard details) the material must be
within 3% (+ or -) of the optimum moisture content for the respective
proctor, otherwise it will be wetted (or dried) and reworked as necessary.
Backfill with too much moisture that, upon a visual inspection, shows
pumping will be rejected and require drying and reworking. All tests must
be done in the presence and under the direction of a city inspector. Copies of
all tests must be forwarded to the City Engineer or his designated
representative within two weeks of the test date. The City Engineer or a city
inspector may require testing at intervals greater than described if needed.
832.02 Low Pressure Air Test of Plastic Gravity Flow Wastewater Lines:
A. General: Wastewater lines shall be air tested between
manholes. Backfilling to grade shall be completed before the
test and all laterals and stubs shall be capped or plugged by
the Contractor so as not to allow air losses, which could cause
an erroneous, test result. Manholes shall be plugged so they
are isolated from the pipe and cannot be included in the test.
All plugs used to close the sewer for the air test shall be
capable of resisting the internal pressures and must be
securely braced. Place all air testing equipment above ground
and allow no one to enter a manhole or trench where a
plugged sewer is under pressure. Release all pressure before
the plugs are removed. The testing equipment used must
include a pressure relief device designed to relieve pressure in
the sewer under test at 10 psi or less and must allow
continuous monitoring of the test pressures in order to avoid
City oFKemille Standard SpeciFcations Section 800- 8 Acceptance
excessive pressure. Use care to avoid the flooding of the air
inlet by infiltrated ground water. (Inject the air at the upper
plug if possible.) Use only qualified personnel to conduct the
test.
B. Ground Water: During construction any ground water shall
be noted on the approved construction drawings.
If ground water is noted during construction, test holes shall
be dug to the pipe zone at intervals of not more than 100 feet
and the average height of ground water above the pipe (if any)
shall be determined before starting the test.
C. Test Procedure: The City Engineer may, at any time,
require a calibration check of the instrumentation used. Use a
pressure. gauge having minimum divisions of 0.10 psi. All air
used shall pass through a single control panel. Clean the sewer
to be tested and remove all debris where indicated. Wet the
sewer prior to testing. The average back pressure of any
groundwater shall be determined (0.433 psi) for each foot of
average water depth (if any) above the sewer.
Add air slowly to the section of sewer being tested until the
internal air pressure is raised to 4.0 psig greater than the
average back pressure of any ground water that may submerge
the pipe. After the internal test pressure is reached, allow at
least 2 minutes for the air temperature to stabilize, adding
only the amount of air required to maintain pressure. After the
temperature stabilization period, disconnect the air supply.
Determine and record the time in seconds that is required for
the internal air pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig
greater than the average back pressure of any ground water
that may submerge the pipe. Compare the time recorded with
the specification time for the size and length of pipe as given
in the following table:
CiTy of Kemille Standard Specifications Section 800- 9 Acceptance Testing

The test may be stopped if no pressure loss has occurred
during the first 25% of the calculated testing time. If any
pressure loss or leakage has occurred during the first 25% of
the test period, then the test shall continue for the entire test
duration as outlined above or until failure.
Any drop in pressure, from 3.5 psig to 2.5 prig (adjusted for
groundwater level), in a time less than that required by the
above table shall be cause for rejection.
Low-pressure air tests must conform to the procedure
described in ASTM C-924 or other equivalent procedures.
832.03 Pressured Sewer/Forced Mains Test: The use of a reduced pressure
zone (RPZ) backflow prevention device shall be used when loading the force
main from the city's potable water mains (see Sewer Details, Section 480).
Leakage in the pressure sewer hydrostatic test shall be defined as the quantity
of water that must be supplied into the pipe or any valved section thereof, to
maintain pressure within 5 pounds per square inch of the specified test
pressure after the air in the pipeline has been expelled. The test pressure shall
be 50 psi above the normal operating pressure. The minimum test time is 4
hours. The maximum allowable leakage shall not exceed 10 gallons per inch
diameter per mile of pipe per day. If the quantity of leakage exceeds the
maximum amount calculated, remedial action shall be taken to reduce the
leakage to an amount within the allowable limit.
832.04 Effluent/Reuse Line Pressure Testing: Shall be performed in
accordance with Section 821.01 Hydrostatic Testing of Water Mains. In no
City of Kerrville Standard Specifications Section 800- ] 0 Acceptance Testing
case shall the allowable leakage be greater than that specified in the TNRCC
Chapter 317.2.
832.05 Deflection Test: Deflection tests shall be performed on all flexible
pipes. For pipelines with inside diameters less than 27 inches, a rigid
mandrel shall be used to measure deflection. The test shall be conducted
after the final backfill has been in place at least 30 days. No pipe shall
exceed a deflection of five percent. If a pipe should fail to pass the
deflection test, the problem shall be corrected and a second test shall be
conducted after the final backfill has been in place an additional 30 days.
"` The tests shall be performed without mechanical pulling devices.
The design engineer should recognize that this is a maximum deflection
criterion for all pipes and a deflection test less than five percent may be more
appropriate for specific types and sizes of pipe. Upon completion of
construction, the design engineer or other Texas Registered Professional
"" Engineer appointed by the owner shall certify, to the City Engineer, that the
entire installation has passed the deflection test. This certification may be
made in conjunction with the notice of completion.
_ Test(s) must be performed without mechanical pulling devices and must be
witnessed by the City Engineer or his designated representative.
r Any deficiencies noted shall be corrected by the Contractor and the test(s)
shall be redone.
w.. The rigid mandrel shall have an outside diameter (O.D.) equal to 95% of the
inside diameter (I.D) of the pipe. The inside diameter of the pipe, for the
purpose of determining the outside diameter of the mandrel, shall be the
average outside diameter minus two minimum wall thicknesses for O.D.
controlled pipe and the average inside diameter for I.D. controlled pipe, all
,_ dimensions shall be per appropriate standard. Statistical or other "tolerance
packages" shall not be considered in mandrel sizing.
_ The rigid mandrel shall be constructed of a metal material that can withstand
200 psi without being deformed. The mandrel shall have nine or more
"runners" or "legs" as long as the total number of legs is an odd number. The
_ barrel section of the mandrel shall have a length of at least 100% of the
inside diameter of the pipe.
A proving ring shall be provided and used for each size mandrel in use.
Contractor shall submit his proposed pipe mandrels and proving rings to the
City Engineer or his designated representative for concurrence prior to
testing the line.
Method Options:
a) Adjustable or flexible mandrels are prohibited.
CiTy of Kemille Standard Specifications Section 800- 11 Acceptance Testing
b) A television inspection is not a substitute for the deflection test.
c) A deflectometer may be approved for use on a case by case basis.
d) Mandrels with removable legs or runners will be accepted.
