Procedures and standards for inspecting and testing the installation of new sewers, and other <br />appurtenances are also outlined in the established performance provision elements of the Standard Plans and <br />Specifications. <br />1) Contains design and construction standards and specifications for the installation of new sanitary sewer <br />systems, and other appurtenances, and for the rehabilitation and repair of existing sanitary sewer <br />infrastructure. <br />The City's Specifications by reference incorporate the American Public Works Association Standard <br />Plans and Specifications for Public Works Construction ("Green book"), which helps ensure proper <br />design and construction of sewer facilities. <br />Additionally, the City has standardized its use of equipment in the pumping stations for ease of <br />maintenance and replacement. This includes the pumps, liquid level indicators, electrical components, <br />valves, piping and radios. <br />The City also uses cured -in -place pipe lining technology where these methods are cost effective and <br />practical to supplement traditional replacement and rehabilitation methods. The City has adopted the <br />American Public Works Association Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction <br />("Greenbook") as its standard specification for sewer projects. The Greenbook specifications for <br />pipeline rehabilitation are used as the standard for City projects. <br />2) Contains procedures and standards for inspecting and testing the installation of new sewers, other <br />appurtenances and for rehabilitation and repair projects. Inspection and testing of new construction is <br />accomplished by trained City Public Works Agency construction inspectors. These inspectors ensure <br />that all sewer projects are completed in accordance with the City's standards. <br />April 2020 5-1 <br />19F-24 <br />
