<br />removed from the fobsrte daily
<br />STRUCTURES:
<br />A Walls of structures shall be such quality and strength that theywill resist all pressures and will not crack or be deformed in such a way as to create a hazard
<br />or maintenance problem at any time Therefore, the minimum structural requirements for concrete pipe placed under county road rights -of -way shall
<br />conform to the following American Association of State Highway and transportation Officials (AASHTO) designations
<br />1 For concrete pipe up to and including thirty-three inches (33") inside diameter, extra strength concrete conforming to AASHTO Designation NI
<br />170NI
<br />2 For concrete pipe thirty-six inches (36") inside diameter and larger, reinforced concrete pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation NI 170NI Class
<br />III
<br />3 Plastic pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation N1294
<br />B All concrete pipe joints with County road rights -of -way shall be sealed against leakage and/or infiltration with rubber gasket in conformance with Section
<br />65-1 06 of the California Standard Specifications, or with other methods as may be permitted under the Special Provisions
<br />C Cast -in -place concrete pipe, vitrified clay pipe, spiral welded steel pipe, or corrugated aluminum alloy pipe shall not be installedwrthin the County road
<br />rights -of -way unless specifically so stated in the Special Provisions, and only under the conditions as provided

<br />below a flat plane extending across the rights -of -way, no part of which shall extend above the elevations stated above, manholes, lampholes, valves, etc not
<br />included Future surface elevations shall be anticipated as nearly as possible and structure elevations shall be established for future adjustments accordingly
<br />E The County hereby reserves the right to specify in the Special Provisions the gage and surface treatment of any galvanized corrugated metal pipe that is to be
<br />installed
<br />F All longitudinal mility facilities are to be established (and dimensioned on sketches) from surveyed centerline of road right-of-way, not from right-of-way
<br />(border)lines
<br />REPAIRS OF THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY:
<br />A All excavations shall be backfilled and compacted immediately after work therein has been completed
<br />B Trenched shall not be left open farther than 300 feet in advance of pipe laying operations, or 200 feet to the rear thereof, unless otherwise permitted by the
<br />Engineer
<br />C Unless otherwise permitted under the Special Provisions, backfill shall be placed and mechanically compacted in such a manner that the relative compaction
<br />throughout the entire fill within the County road right-of-way shall conform to the percentages of compaction as shown on the Trench detail
<br />D Backfrll material shall be placed in horizontal uniform layers not to exceed in thickness, before compaction, 0 67 foot in the bedding region, one —foot where
<br />900-o compaction is required, and two -feet where 300-o compaction is required
<br />E No portion of the excavation(s) shall be compacted by pending orjetling unless a maintenance bond is provided
<br />F Gravel backfrll material shall be utilized only where specifically so stated on the face of the permit It shall be compacted by means of a high -frequency
<br />internal vibrator, the compactor to be a size and type approved by the Engineer Points of compaction shall not be greater than 13" centers and to the full
<br />depth of the lift
<br />G All pavements, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, borrow ditches, pipes, head walls, road signs, trees, shrubbery, and/or other permanent road facilities impaired by
<br />or as a result of construction operations at the construction siba s) occupied by materials and/or equipment, shall be restored immediately upon backfrlling of
<br />the excavation to the original grades and cross sections, and to a condition as good as, or better than existing prior to construction
<br />H All surfacing materials of roadways and driveway approaches cut or damaged by or as a result of construction operations, shall be replaced within ONE
<br />WEEK following the backfilling of excavation, weather permitting, with compacted layers of surfacing materials at least as thick as the existing, and no less
<br />than two inches C") of asphalt concrete over six inches (6") of aggregate base, both as specified below
<br />1 Asphalt Concrete Combined mineral aggregate shall conform to the quality and gradation requirements for Type "A" one-half inch(1'2 )
<br />maximum aggregate, coarse or medium gradation as specified in Section 39 of the California Standard Specifications The bituminous binder to
<br />be mixed with mineral aggregate shall be paving asphalt having (Grade PG 63-10), unless otherwise directed by the Engineer Placement of
<br />asphalt concrete surfacing shall conform to the applicable provisions of Section 39 of the California Standard Specifications
<br />2 Aggregate Base Combined mineral aggregates shall conform to the quality and the grading for three-quarter inch (34") maximum size
<br />aggregate Class 2 Aggregate Base specified in Section 26 of the California Standard Specifications
<br />I Before acceptance of repairs to the County road rights -of -way, all unsightly and detrimental dirt, dust and/or debris shall be removed and the construction
<br />areas left in a neat and presentable condition(s)
