<br />STRUCTURES:
<br />A.Walls of structurcs 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 />1.For concrete pipe Lip to and induding thirty-:lm:e inches (33"")inside diameter,extra strength concrete conforming to AASHTO Desigrlati0n 11
<br />ImM..
<br />2.For concrete pipe thirty-six inches (36")inside diameter and larger,reinforced concrete pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation M 170M Class
<br />IlL
<br />3.Plastic pipe conforming to AASHTO Designation M294.
<br />B.All concrete pipe joints with County road rights.of-way shall be scaled 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 concrcte pipe,vitrified clay pipe,spiral welded stcel 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 ofthirty inches (30")to the
<br />centerline of the roadways and twelve inches (12")at the bottoms of borrow ditches each side ofthe 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 ofraad right-of-way,not from right-or-way
<br />(border)lines.
<br />REPAIRS OF THE COUNTY RIGHT-OF-WAY:
<br />A.All excavations shall be back11lled and compacted immediately after work therein has been completed.n.Trenched shall not be left open farther than 300 fcet in advance of pipe laying operations,or 200 feet to the rear thereof,unless othenvise pennitted by the
<br />Engineer.
<br />C.Unless otherwise pennitted 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-fect where 80%compaction is required.
<br />E.No portion of the excavation(s)shall be compacted by ponding or jctting unless a maintenance bond is provided.
<br />F.Gravel backfill material shall be utilized only where specifIcally so stated on the face ofthc 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 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 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 />B.All surfacing materials of roadways and driveway approaches cut or damaged by or as a rcsult of construction operations,shall be replaced within ONE
<br />WEEK following the backfilling of excavation,weather pennitting,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 />I.Asphalt Concrete:Combined mineral aggregate shall conform to the quality and gradation requirements for Type "B"one-half inch(l/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-]0),unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.Placement of
<br />asphalt concrete surfacing shall conform to the applicable provisions of Sectio1l39 of the California Standard Specifications.
<br />2.Aggregate Base:Combined mineral aggregates shall conform to the quality and the grading for three-quarter inch (3/4")maximum size
<br />aggregate Class 2 Aggregate Base specified in Section 26 of the California Standard Specifications.
<br />I.Before acceptance of repairs to thc County road rights-of-way,all unsightly and detrimental dirt,dust and/or debris shall be removed and the construction
