CITY OF SANTA ANA SPECIFICATIONS PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX PROJECT TITLE 158 Any defect which will affect the integrity or strength of the pipe discovered during the warranty period shall be repaired at the Contractor’s expense. The text of Subsection 306-1.6 of the Standard Specifications is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Pipe shall be measured along the longitudinal axis between the ends as laid and shall include the actual pipe in place. Joining of HDPE pipe shall be performed by thermal butt-fusion in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Internal weld beads formed by the thermal butt -fusion method shall be removed on the bottom 120 degrees of the pipe, minimum. The bead shall be removed to the pipe’s surface, but under no circumstances shall it be below it. The joint must sufficiently cool to ambient temperature before the bead is removed. Butt-fused joint strength shall be equal to or greater than the strength of the pipe. Threaded or solvent-cement joints and connections shall NOT be permitted. A “Y” Branch fitting shall be installed on the sewer main at each lateral connection per City of Santa Ana Standard Plan No. 1204A. In the case where the lateral is to be connected to a sewer main that has been lined, a “Y” Saddle fitting shall be installed. The connection shall conform to the size and shape of the inside diameter of the new connection. Service connection openings shall be free from rough edges or protrusions. CORING OF NEW SEWER MAIN TO ACCOMMODATE LATERAL CONNECTION SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED. At all locations where more than one (1) lateral serves a single parcel, Contractor shall expose existing lateral connection to the existing sewer main and verify that the lateral is active by CCTV inspection. In addition, the Contractor shall insert a push camera with sounder/locator up the lateral from the main (insertion pit) to mark and locate the point of connection at the property line. If CCTV investigation is inconclusive, lateral shall be treated as active and shall be constructed per plan. If lateral is determined to be dead, lateral shall be plugged and abandoned in place. The Contractor shall connect to the new sewer main and to the existing sewer lateral pipe at property line. During construction, the Contractor shall make provisions for the collection of sewage from cutoff laterals. All sewer laterals shall be reconnected to the main before the termination of each working day. The Contractor shall submit all material information for sewer lateral cleanout connections and appurtenances prior to commencing work. The Engineer shall review and upon approval notify the Contractor by a memorandum. Non-approved materials shall not be used. 505 E Central Ave #B11/6/2024
