CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br /> Prevent the flow of surface water runoff into the trench excavation. Control <br /> surface water and other erosion control measures associated the Work in <br /> accordance with 8-01 of the Standard Specifications and modified in these <br /> Special Provisions. <br /> The amount of soil rendered unfit for use as structural fill may be greatly <br /> increased, if drainage efforts are not accomplished in a timely sequence. If <br /> construction proceeds during an extended wet weather construction period and <br /> the moisture-sensitive site soils become wet, they will become unstable. The <br /> severity of construction disturbance will be dependent on the precautions that are <br /> taken by the contractor to protect the moisture and disturbance sensitive soils. <br /> Maintain groundwater level minimum 1 foot below pipe grade and below the <br /> bottom of the excavation in all Work areas during excavation, foundation <br /> preparation, pipe and structure installation and backfilling. Trench dewatering shall <br /> sufficiently control groundwater to prevent softening of the bottom of the <br /> excavations or formation of "quick" conditions or "boils" during excavation. Use <br /> gravel or non-moisture sensitive trench backfill in areas encountering <br /> groundwater. If foundation soils are disturbed or oversaturated with water, then <br /> over excavate and replace the affected areas with suitable fill at no additional cost <br /> to the Owner. Upon completion of dewatering operations, restore the normal water <br /> table to its natural level in such a manner as to not disturb the pipe, its foundation <br /> and structures. Contractor shall be solely responsible to control the rate and <br /> effect of the dewatering in a manner to avoid all objectionable settlement and <br /> subsidence. <br /> Direct discharge flow from trench dewatering to a nearby sewer or storm drain <br /> system unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. Obtain, at no cost, a Discharge <br /> Authorization Permit from the City prior to discharging trench dewatering flows into <br /> 111 <br /> the City sewer or storm drain system. Control groundwater by trench dewatering <br /> systems designed and operated to minimize turbidity of the discharged flow and to <br /> prevent removal of the natural soils or imported fill. <br /> Soils data for use in planning the dewatering system is available from the Soil <br /> Boring Logs in Appendix E or the Contractor may perform its own soils <br /> investigation. Contractor shall be responsible for cost of additional investigative <br /> work Contractor requires for designing the dewatering system. Plan and <br /> implement trench dewatering systems using accepted and professional methods <br /> of design and engineering consistent with the best modern practice. Trench <br /> dewatering systems shall be comprised of gravel-lined sumps, dewatering pumps, <br /> piping and conveyance components necessary for complete and reliable function. <br /> In areas where additional and continual drawdown is required, a series of <br /> dewatering well points can be installed along the proposed trench line alignment <br /> to remove perched water zones prior to excavation. <br /> Before dewatering operations begin. the Contractor shall have available on the <br /> Work site sufficient pumping equipment, or other machinery, or both, to assure <br /> maintaining continuous operation of the trench dewatering system. Supply power <br /> service to dewatering pumps including, but not limited to, electrical, hydraulic, gas. <br /> or diesel. Maintain the dewatering system to allow for continuous operation <br /> without interruptions. If necessary, provide 24-hour supervision and follow-up by <br /> personnel skilled in the operation, maintenance, and replacement of dewatering <br /> system components. Damage to Work in place and the excavation, including <br /> damage to the trench bottom, due to "boiling", material removal, or discharge <br /> pumping from the excavated area. that may result from negligence. inadequate or <br /> improper installation, maintenance and operation of the dewatering system. or <br /> Alverson Stormwater Separation February, 2019 <br /> WO No. -UP3660 Division 7—STORM, SEWER,WATER <br /> SP—158 ' <br />
