<br /> STRUCTURES:
<br /> A. Walls of structures shall be such quality and strength that they will 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 /> I. For concrete pipe up to and including thirty-three inches(33")inside diameter,extra strength concrete conforming to AASHTO Designation M
<br /> 170M.
<br /> 2. For concrete pipe thirty-six inches(36")inside diameter and larger,reinforced concrete pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation M 170M Class
<br /> III.
<br /> 3. Plastic pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation M294.
<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 installed within the County road
<br /> rights-of-way unless specifically so stated in the Special Provisions,and only under the conditions as provided.
<br /> D. All structures to be buried within the County rights-of-way shall be set at such elevations as to allow minimum coverage of thirty inches(30")to the
<br /> centerline of the roadways and twelve inches(12")at the bottoms of borrow ditches each side of the roadways. The depths of structures shall be established
<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 utility 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. Backfill 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 /> 90%compaction is required,and two-feet where 80%compaction is required.
<br /> E. No portion of the excavation(s)shall be compacted by ponding or jetting unless a maintenance bond is provided.
<br /> F. Gravel backfill 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 18"centers and to the firll
<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 site(s)occupied by materials and/or equipment,shall be restored immediately upon backfilling 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(2")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`B"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 64-10),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 /> 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
