Following installation of water mains and sewer force mains, all water mains and sewer force mains shall be flushed to wash all dirt, trash, and debris from the lines prior to pressure testing and disinfection in the case of water mains. The pipe flushing shall be accomplished such that a full diameter pipe flush is accomplished. The contractor shall coordinate with the water utility owner for operating all valves and provision of water for flushing purposes. B. The Contractor shall be responsible for all planning and execution of the pipe flushing activities and shall submit a flushing plan to the Owner or Engineer for review and acceptance. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for handling and discharge of all water used during flushing. The contractor shall prevent any nuisance flooding of roads or private property and shall be responsible for any property damages as a result of flooding during pipe flushing. 3.13 HYDROSTATIC TESTING FOR PRESSURE MAINS A. Hydrostatic tests shall consist of a pressure test and a leakage test. Hydrostatic tests shall be conducted on all newly laid pressure pipes, joints and valves including all service lines to the curb stops. Air testing of pressure pipes will not be permitted under any circumstance. Tests shall be made on sections not exceeding 2,000 feet. The Contractor shall furnish all closure pieces in the pipe as required. Equipment to be furnished by the Contractor shall include, but not be limited to, graduated containers, pressure gauges, hydraulic force pumps, and 29 - WN.01 114.001 suitable hoses and piping. The Owner will monitor and approve a satisfactory test. The Contractor shall dispose of all flushing and testing water. B. The Contractor may conduct hydrostatic tests after the trench has been partially backfilled with the joints left exposed for inspection for his informational purposes only. The hydrostatic tests for acceptance shall only be conducted after the trenches have been completely backfilled and compacted as specified. Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete thrust blocking, tests will not be made until at least five (5) days have elapsed after the thrust blocking is installed. if high -early cement is used for the concrete thrust blocking, the time may be reduced to 24 hours if the owner concurs that the concrete has cured and reached adequate strength. C. All water mains to be tested shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test pressure of 150 psi. All sewer force mains to be tested shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test pressure of 100 psi. The duration of each test shall be for a period of 2 hours. If during the tests, the integrity of the tested line is in question, the Owner may require 6 hour tests. The basic provisions of AW WA C-605 shall be applicable. D. Pressure Test Each section of pipe to be tested, as determined by the Owner, shall be slowly filled with water and the specified test pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, taps shall be made, and appropriate valves installed to ensure bleeding of all air from the main. If defective pipes, fittings, valves, or hydrants are discovered in consequence of this pressure test, all such items shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor with sound material and the test shall be repeated until satisfactory results are obtained. Provisions of AW WA C-605, where applicable, shall apply. E. Leakage Test: After completion of the pressure test, a leakage test shall be conducted to determine the quantity of water lost by leakage under the specified test pressure. Applicable provisions ofAW WA C-605 shall apply. 2. Allowable leakage in gallons per hour for the pipeline shall not be greater than that determined by the formula: L= SD is 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. 30 - WN.01114.001 P = Average test pressure during leakage test in pounds per square inch gauge. 3. Leakage is defined as the quantity of water to be supplied in the newly laid pipe or any valved section under test, which is necessary to maintain the specified leakage test pressure after the pipe has been filled with water and the air expelled. Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that allowed, the Contractor shall locate and replace or repair the defective joints, pipe or valves until the leakage from subsequent testing is within the specified allowance. 3.14 DISINFECTION OF WATER MAINS A. Following flushing and hydrostatic testing and before being placed in service, all new water mains shall be chlorinated in accordance with the specifications below and the procedures outlined in AWWA C-651 "Standard Procedure for Disinfecting Water Mains". B. Sections of pipe to be disinfected shall first be flushed (full diameter) to remove any solids or contaminated material that may have become lodged in the pipe. If no hydrant is installed at the end of the main, then a blow -off valve shall be provided large enough to develop a velocity off at least 2.5 feet per second in the main. C. All taps required for chlorination or flushing purposes, or for temporary or permanent release of air shall be provided for by the Contractor as a part of the construction of piping. After the disinfection, all such taps shall be sealed to the satisfaction of the Owner. D. Before being placed into service, all new piping and repaired portions of, or extensions to existing mains shall be chlorinated so that the initial chlorine residual is not less than 50 mg/l and that a chlorine residual of not less than 25 mg1I remains in the water after standing 24 hours in the pipe. E. Chlorine may be applied as a liquid chlorine (gas -water mixture), or a mixture of water and high-test calcium hypochlorite. The Contractor shall assume responsibility for safe handling of chlorine and shall meet requirements of OSHA and other regulatory agencies for safe handling of chlorine. F. The preferred point of application of the chlorinating agent is at the beginning of the pipe line extension or any valved section of it, and through a corporation stop inserted in the pipe. The water injector for delivering the chlorine -bearing water into the pipe should be supplied from a tap made on the pressure side of the gate valve controlling the flow into the pipe line extension. Alternate points of applications may be used when approved or directed by the Owner. 31 - WN.01114.001 G. Valves shall be manipulated by the Owner's personnel so that the strong chlorine solution in the line being treated will not flow back into the line supplying the water. H. Treated water shall be retained in the pipe at least 24 hours. After this period, the chlorine residual at pipe extremities and at other representative points shall be at least 25 mg/1. 1. In the process of chlorinating newly laid pipe, all valves or other appurtenances shall be operable while the pipe line is filled with the chlorinating agent and under normal operating pressure. J. Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly flushed from the newly laid pipe at its extremity until the replacement water throughout its lengths shows upon test, a free chlorine residual not in excess of that normally carried in the system. K. After flushing, water samples collected on 2 successive days from the treated piping system, as directed by the Owner, shall show acceptable bacteriological results. All bacteriological sampling and testing shall be provided by the Contractor. All such bacteriological analyses must be performed by a laboratory certified by the State of Florida. Sample locations shall be identified on the "as - built drawings" and submitted to the Engineer with the acceptable bacteriological results. L. Proper chain of custody procedures must be followed and samples shall only be collected by certified laboratory personnel in the presence of the Owner's personnel. M. Copies of testing results and all related correspondence with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) shall be submitted to the Owner. N. Should the initial treatment result in an unsatisfactory bacterial test, the original chlorination procedure shall be repeated by the Contractor until satisfactory results are obtained. *** END OF SECTION *** 32 - WN.01114.001 SECTION 15100 - VALVES AND APPURTENANCES PART1- GENERAL 1.01 SCOPE OF WORK A.

PROSECUTION OF WORK —REGIONAL DISPUTES REVIEW BOARD. (REV 4-1-02) (FA 12-12-02) (7-03) ARTICLE 8-3 (Pages 73-75) is expanded by the following new Subarticle: 8-3.7 Disputes Review Board: For this Contract, a Disputes Review Board will be available to assist in the resolution of disputes and claims arising out of the work on the Contract. -41 - WN.01114.001 8-3.7.1 Purpose: The Board will provide special expertise to assist in and facilitate the timely and equitable resolution of disputes, claims, and controversies between the Department and the Contractor in an effort to avoid construction delay and future claims. It is not intended that the Department or the Contractor default on their normal responsibility to cooperatively and fairly settle their differences by indiscriminately assigning them to the Board. It is intended that the Board encourage the Department and Contractor to resolve potential disputes without resorting to this alternative resolution procedure. The Board will be used when normal Department -Contractor dispute resolution is unsuccessful. Either the Department or the Contractor may refer a dispute to the Board. Referral to the Board should be initiated as soon as it appears that the normal dispute resolution effort is not succeeding. It is a condition of this Contract that the parties shall use the Dispute Review Board. The Department and the Contractor agree that the submission of any unresolved dispute or claim to the Board is a condition precedent to the Department or the Contractor having the right to proceed to arbitration or litigation of such unresolved dispute or claim. The Department's Claim Review Committee will not entertain any issues on this project. The recommendations of the Board will not be binding on either the Department or the Contractor. The Board will fairly and impartially and without regard to how or by whom they may have been appointed, consider disputes referred to it and will provide written recommendations to the Department and Contractor to assist in the resolution of these disputes. 8-3.7.2 Continuance of Work During Dispute: During the course of the Disputes Review Board process, the Contractor will continue with the work as directed by the Engineer in a diligent manner and without delay or otherwise conform to the Engineer's decision or order, and will be governed by all applicable provisions of the Contract. Throughout any protested work, the Contractor will keep complete records of extra costs and time incurred. The Contractor will permit the Engineer and Board access to these and any other records needed for evaluating the dispute. 8-3.7.3 Membership: The Disputes Review Board will consist of members pre -selected by the Engineer and the President of the Florida Transportation Builders' Association (FTBA), and posted on the Department's Website. If during the life of the contract, a Board member has a discussion regarding employment or entered into any agreement for employment after completion of the contract with the Department, the Contractor or any subcontractor or supplier on the project, he/she shall immediately disclose this to the Contractor and the Department and shall be disqualified from serving on the Board. 42 - WN.01114.001 Once established, the Board will remain active and in full force and effect. If, after the Department has made final acceptance of the project, there are unresolved disputes and claims remaining, the Disputes Review Board shall remain active and in full force and effect until the project is otherwise administratively closed by the Department following final payment so that the Board may continue in operation until all unresolved disputes and claims are resolved. 8-3.7A Procedure and Schedules for Disputes Resolution: Disputes will be considered as quickly as possible, taking into consideration the particular circumstances and the time required to prepare detailed documentation. Steps may be omitted as agreed by the Department and the Contractor and the time periods stated below may be shortened in order to hasten resolution. a. If the Contractor objects to any decision, action or order of the Engineer, the Contractor may file a written protest with the Engineer, stating clearly and in detail the basis for the objection, within 15 days after the event. b. The Engineer will consider the written protest and make his decision on the basis of the pertinent contract provisions, together with the facts and circumstances involved in the dispute. The Engineer's decision will be furnished in writing to the Contractor within 15 days after receipt of the Contractor's written protest. c. This decision will be final and conclusive on the subject, unless a written appeal to the Engineer is filed by the Contractor within 15 days of receiving the decision. Should the Contractor preserve its protest of the Engineer's decision, the matter can be referred to the Board by either the Department or the Contractor. d. Upon receipt by the Board of a written duly preserved protest of a dispute, either from the Department or the Contractor, it will first be decided when to conduct the hearing. e. Either party furnishing any written evidence or documentation to the Board will furnish copies of such information to the other party a minimum of 15 days prior to the date the Board sets to convene the hearing for the dispute. If the Board requests any additional documentation or evidence prior to, during, or after the hearing, the Department and/or Contractor will provide the requested information to the Board and to the other party. f The Contractor and the Department will each be afforded an opportunity to be heard by the Board and to offer evidence. Neither the Department nor the Contractor may present information at the hearing that was not previously distributed to both the Board and the other party. g. The Board's recommendations for resolution of the dispute will be given in writing to both the Department and the Contractor, within 15 days of completion of the hearings. In cases of extreme complexity, both parties may agree to allow additional time for the Board to formulate its recommendations. The Board will focus its attention in the written report to matters of entitlement and allow the parties to determine the monetary damages. If both parties' request, and sufficient documentation is available, the Board may make a recommendation of monetary damages. h. Within 15 days of receiving the Board's recommendations, both the Department and the Contractor will respond to the other and to the Board in writing, signifying either acceptance or rejection of the Board's recommendations. The failure of either party to respond within the 15 day period will be deemed an acceptance of the Board's -43 - WN.01114.001 recommendations by that party. If the Department and the Contractor are able to resolve the dispute with or without the aid of the Board's recommendations, the Department will promptly process any required Contract changes. i. Should the dispute remain unresolved, either party may seek reconsideration of the decision by the Board only when there is new evidence to present. No provisions in this Specification will abrogate the Contractor's responsibility for preserving a claim filed in accordance with 5-12. j. Although both the Department and the Contractor should place great weight on the Board's recommendation, it is not binding. If the Board's recommendations do not resolve the dispute, all records and written recommendations of the Board will be admissible as evidence in any subsequent dispute resolution procedures. 8-3.7.5 Contractor Responsibility: The Contractor shall furnish to each Board member a set of all pertinent documents which are or may become necessary for the Board, except documents furnished by Department, to perform their function.

The Contractor must make a timely request for payment or deductions by submitting an invoice, no later than 12 O'clock noon, Monday, after the estimate cut-off date for any month during which any delivery of scrap steel to the material fabricator is made. The Contractor will not be given the option of accepting or rejecting this adjustment, and failure to timely submit an invoice constitutes a material breach of the Contract. SSP adjustments will be made only when the delivery month SSP (DSSP) varies by more than 5% of the SSP prevailing in the month when bids were received (BSSP), and then only on the portion that exceeds 5%. No adjustment will be made for changes in, including but not limited to, the cost of manufacturing, fabrication, shipping, storage, etc. The Indexed items are defined as follows: 1. Steel Girders (including structural bolts, metal attachments, and structural steel in sign supports). 2. Reinforcing bar paid under Section 415. 3. Steel Piling. The Department will determine the monthly SSP, by averaging the Consumer Buying Price indices for Shredded Auto Scrap (Chicago) and No. 1 Heavy Melt (Chicago) as published by the American Metal Market (AMM). The SSP will be based on averages in effect from the I` thou the 10ih of each month. The price shall be adjusted to dollars per pound [kg]. The SSP will be available prior to the 15`h of the month at the following URL: www.dot.state.fl.us/construction/scrapsteel/scrapsteel.htm . The Contractor will certify the following for the period represented by each invoice: a) The dates and amounts of steel shipped from the mill to the material fabricator. b) The amount of scrap steel (by weight) incorporated into the Indexed items. Payment on progress estimates will be adjusted to reflect adjustments in the prices for scrap steel materials in accordance with the following: SCA = (ID)(Q) Where SCA = Steel cost adjustment, in dollars; Where Q = quantity of scrap steel, in pounds [kg]. Where ID = Cost Difference = [DSSP — 0.95(BSSP)] when the SSP has decreased between the month of bid and month of this progress estimate. Where ID = Cost Difference = [DSSP — 1.05(BSSP)] when the SSP has increased between the month of bid and delivery. Adjustments will be paid or charged on the current progress estimate to reflect the index difference at the time the steel was shipped from the mill to the material fabricator. -49 - WN.01114.001 The Prime Contractor receiving an adjustment under this provision shall distribute the proper proportional part of such adjustment to subcontractors or suppliers as applicable. No adjustments will be made for any indexed items manufactured from steel having a mill shipping date prior to the letting date of the Contract. SUBARTICLE 9-5.1 (Page 92) is expanded by the following If the work extends over a period in excess of 45 calendar days, the Contractor may claim partial payment for work completed and accepted by the Department by submitting an invoice based on the pay items and unit prices contained in the Contract to the Engineer in charge of the project.

Should an impasse develop in any regard as to the need for remedial work or the extent required, the Statewide Disputes Review Board will render a final decision by majority vote. Remedial work will not apply if any one of the following factors is found to be beyond the scope of the Contract: a) Determination that the pavement thickness design is deficient. The Department will make available a copy of the original pavement thickness design package and design traffic report to the Responsible Party upon request. b) Determination that the Accumulated ESALs (Number of 18 Kip Equivalent Single Axle Loads in the design lane) have increased by 25% or more over the Accumulated ESALs used by the Department for design purposes for the warranty period. In calculating ESALs, the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) will be obtained from the Department's traffic count data and the T24 (Percent Heavy Trucks during a 24 hour period) will be obtained from the Department's traffic classification survey data. c) Determination that the deficiency was due to the failure of the existing underlying layers that were not part of the Contract work. d) Determination that the deficiency was the responsibility of a third party or its actions, unless the third party was perforating work included in the Contract. If a measured distress value indicates remedial action is required per Table 338-1, Table 338-2 and/or Table 338-3, the Responsible Party must begin remedial work within 45 calendar days of notification by the Department or a rating of the Statewide Disputes Review Board. The Disputes Review Board will determine the allowable duration for the completion of the remedial work, but not to exceed 0 months. However, after each survey, if the Department determines the extent and magnitude of pavement distresses in any areas will not affect the traffic safety, strength of pavement structure or highway SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS - 75 - WN.01114.001 aesthetics, the Engineer, at his sole option, may defer the remedial work associated with the pavement distresses. In the event remedial action is necessary and forensic information is required to determine the source of the distress, the Department may core and/or trench the pavement. The Responsible Party will not be responsible for damages to the pavement as a result of any forensic activities conducted by the Department. As applicable to distress criteria for rutting, ride and cracking for Category I and Category 2 pavements, when two LOTS requiring remedial action are not separated by three or more LOTS that otherwise require no remedial action, the remedial work shall be required for the total length of all such contiguous LOTS, including the intermediate LOTS otherwise requiring no remedial action. Additionally, for Category 1 and Category 2 pavements, where the limits of remedial action are defined as 150% of the distressed area, and where such areas of remedial action required due to rutting, raveling, cracking, slippage or bleeding are not separated by 1,000 feet, the remedial work will be required for the entire area contiguous to the distressed areas, including intermediate areas otherwise requiring no remedial action. The Responsible Party has the first option to perform all remedial work that is determined by the Department to be their responsibility. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the problem poses an immediate danger to the traveling public and the Responsible Party cannot begin remedial work within 72 hours of written notification, the Engineer has the authority to have the remedial work performed by other forces. The Responsible Party is responsible for all incurred costs of the work performed by other forces should the problem (remedial work) be determined to be the responsibility of the Responsible Party. Remedial work performed by other forces does not alter any of the requirements, responsibilities or obligations of the Responsible Party. The Responsible Party must complete all remedial work to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any disputes regarding the adequacy of the remedial work will be resolved by the Statewide Disputes Review Board. Approval of remedial work does not relieve the Responsible Party from continuing responsibility under the provisions of this Specification. Notify the Engineer in writing prior to beginning any remedial work. Meet the requirements of the Department's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and implemented modifications thereto when performing any remedial work. Perform all signing and traffic control in accordance with the current edition of the Department's Roadway and Traffic Design Standards for Design, Construction, Maintenance and Utility Operations on the State Highway System.
