The Mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the Public Comment period; If the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, during a public hearing or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter or if the speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting.

LEVINE ACT:
The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) limits campaign contributions that may be made to elected or appointed City officials (including councilmembers and the mayor) and certain candidates for elective city offices. The Act prohibits an agent of a party from contributing any amount to councilmember while a proceeding for a contract valued at $50,000 or more, permit, license, or other entitlement for use is pending that does not solely involve purely ministerial decisions. The Act also prohibits parties and participants in the above entitlement proceedings from contributing more than $500 during the proceeding and for 12 months after the proceeding and requires disclosure of the prohibited contributions. The Act prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from taking part in an entitlement proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. The law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is responsible for administering the Levine Act. More information about the Act and its implementing regulations can be found on the FPPC’s website here:

Agenda Title: 2026 Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project – Bid Authorization Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution approving plans and specifications; authorizing advertisement for sealed bids; authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project (City Contract Number 2026-646) in the amount not to exceed Engineer’s Estimate of $3,450,000 plus a ten percent construction contingency of $345,000, for a total construction authorization not to exceed $3,795,000; and approving a task order with Tanner Pacific, Inc. for construction management services in an amount not to exceed $259,738.
Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
As part of the current Five-Year Pavement Plan for FY24-25 through FY28-29, the City’s Pavement Rehabilitation Program has identified and scheduled thirteen streets for pavement reconstruction in the summer of 2026 that are in poor condition and require a significant amount of rehabilitation work. To avoid cutting into newly paved roads, all existing sanitary and storm sewer pipes, drain inlets, and manholes located under these streets were proactively inspected and evaluated, and several sanitary sewer mains were identified for replacement or repair prior to this year’s pavement project. Additionally, several other sanitary sewer and storm sewer mains in poor condition throughout the City were identified and included in this project as well.
Analysis
MNS Engineers, Inc. is serving as the project engineer of record, as authorized by City Council on August 26, 2025, has completed the preparation of the Plans and Specifications (Attachments B and C) for construction of the subject improvements. The construction scope of work includes replacement of approximately 989 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe using trenchless methods; replacement of 1,850 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe using open trench methods; reconnection of sewer laterals; rehabilitation of manholes; open trench spot repairs; lining of storm drain pipes located within easements; and replacement of storm drain inlets. The bid opening is scheduled for early July and construction is anticipated to start in August and finish in November 2026. Construction activities will be closely coordinated with the 2026 Pavement Rehabilitation Project (City Contract Number 2026-647). 11

Instructions To Bidders 7 of 9
11.5. If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder submitted a responsive Bid, and that the Bidder is responsible, then that Bidder will be deemed the apparent “Lowest Responsible Bidder”.
11.6. If the Engineer finds that the Lowest Monetary Bidder’s Bid is not responsive, or that the Lowest Monetary Bidder is not responsible, then the Engineer may review the responsiveness and responsibility of the next Low Monetary Bidder.

Take possession of the Project site and all materials, supplies, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by Contractor; accept the assignment of any or all of the subcontracts; and then complete the Work by any method the City may deem expedient. If requested by the City, Contractor shall remove any part or all of Contractor’s materials, supplies, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery from the Project site within seven (7) days of such request; and if Contractor fails to do so, the City may remove or store, and after ninety (90) days sell, any of the same at Contractor’s expense.
Terminate the Contract.

Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the expiration of thirtyfive (35) days after Final Completion and acceptance of all Work by the City If the unpaid balance of the Contract Amount (to which the Contractor is otherwise entitled in accordance with the Contract) exceeds the cost of completing the Work (including all additional costs and expenses made necessary thereby, plus all losses sustained, including any liquidated damages provided under the Contract Documents), such excess shall be paid to Contractor.

G.C. 6 VALUE ENGINEERING
The City is receptive to proposals from the Contractor identifying ways to reduce project costs and will share 50% of the cost savings with the Contractor if the proposal is accepted. The City encourages the Contractor to submit cost saving proposals on construction methods, products or materials that are equal to, or better than, what is specified by the project plans or specifications.
The City is not obligated to accept and implement the proposal; however, if the City does accept the proposal for implementation, the City will share 50% of the cost savings with the Contractor.
The cost savings shall be limited to the project for which the proposal is made. The City retains the right to implement the Contractor’s proposal on future projects without obligation to sharing the future cost savings. The cost saving/value engineering program is administered by the City in accordance with California Public Contract Code Section 7101.
G.C. 7 CHANGES IN THE WORK
The City shall have the right to make any reasonable changes in the project plans or quantities determined to be necessary or expedient. In case such changes increase or diminish the work shown, the Contractor shall be paid for the work actually done at a mutually agree upon adjustment to the Contract price, based upon the accepted Bid Proposal or according to the provisions of Paragraph 7, Changes in Work. The Contractor shall not be entitled to extra payment, nor shall any claim be made on account of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted.
G.C. 8 CHANGES IN CONTRACT PRICES
Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work under this Contract are ordered by the Engineer and increase the amount of work to be done, such added work shall be known as extra work; and when such corrections, alterations, or modifications decrease the amount of work to be done, such subtracted work shall be known as work omitted.
The difference in cost of the work affected by such change will be added to or deducted from the amount of said Contract price, as the case may be, by a fair and reasonable valuation, which shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:
a. By agreed lump sum
b. By agreed unit prices
c. By Force Account
If neither a nor b methods can be agreed upon and the Contractor receives written order to make such changes, the Contractor shall be compensated by Force Account for his actual necessary costs, including labor, material, and equipment rental, as determined by the Engineer, plus a negotiated 74 fixed fee for profit and such overhead items as home and branch office expenses, general expenses, general superintendence, indirect labor, and licenses. The negotiated fixed fee shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of actual necessary direct costs.
In addition to the actual cost of labor, the amount due the Contractor shall include the cost of compensation insurance, contributions made to the State as required by the provisions of the Unemployment Reserve Act, Chapter 352, Statutes of 1935, as amended; and for taxes paid the Federal Government, as required by the Social Security Act, approved August 14, 1935, as amended to date, plus other payments the Contractor must make to, or on behalf of, the workers.
For use of equipment owned by the Contractor, the rental rates therefore shall be based upon the current prices prevailing in the locality, not to exceed the rates promulgated by the California (State) Department of Transportation in effect at the time the work was performed.
It is understood that labor, materials, and equipment may be furnished by the Contractor, or by the subcontractor, or by others on behalf of the Contractor. When the work is performed by other than the Contractor’s organization, the Contractor shall reach an agreement with such other forces as to the distribution of payments made for such, and no additional payment therefore will be made by the City.
When Force Account work is performed by a bona fide and approved subcontractor, the negotiated fixed fee markup is limited to ten percent (10%) for the subcontractor, and five percent (5%) for the prime Contractor, on the performing subcontractor’s actual costs, and no markup will be allowed for any intermediary subcontractor between the performing subcontractor and the prime Contractor.
All labor furnished on Force Account work shall be adjusted daily upon report sheets, furnished by the Contractor and signed by both parties, which daily report sheets hall thereafter by considered the true record of Force Account labor provided.
In order that a proper estimate may be made by the Engineer of the net cost of labor and materials entered into Force Account work, in accordance with the procedure hereinbefore stated, the Contractor shall furnish weekly an itemized statement of materials and labor supplied together with the cost of such material and the wages paid, and shall furnish vouchers for quantities and prices of such labor, material, or work. In case the Contractor fails to comply with the above provisions, he shall have no claim for compensation against the City.
City reserves the right to contract with any person or firm other than the Contractor for any or all extra work. The Contractor’s attention is especially called to the fact that he shall be entitled to no claim for damages for anticipated profits on any portions of work that may be awarded to others.
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra work that the Engineer has not recognized as such, he shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing as to when and where alleged extra work is to be performed. If the Engineer directs by written order that the alleged extra work be performed, the Contractor shall comply, and shall make claim for compensation therefore each month not later than the 20th day of the month during which the work claimed to be extra work was performed, and he shall submit a weekly complete statement of materials used and expenses incurred on account of extra work performed, showing allocation of all materials and expenses. All such claims shall state the date of the Engineer’s written order. 75 Unless such notification is made in writing and unless complete statements of materials used and expenses incurred on account of such alleged extra work are furnished as above required, the Contractor shall not be entitled to consideration for payment for alleged extra work, and any future claims for compensation for such alleged extra work shall be invalidated.
G.C. 9 BRAND OR TRADE NAME - SUBSTITUTE OF EQUALS
Reference is made in Section 3400 of the California Public Contracts Code, which is by this reference incorporated herein with like effect as if here set forth in full.
If a potential bidder believes he knows of an equal to a specified brand or trade name which is not mentioned in the Contract Documents, then such potential bidder may so advise the Engineer of such fact, giving all relevant information. If appropriate, an Addendum will be issued as to the alleged equal provided that such issuance may be accomplished at least 5 days before the time fixed for opening bids.
Unless the subject article or product is expressly designated for matching others in use in a particular public improvement either completed or in the course of completion, any bidder may, as part of its bid proposal, include a request for substitution of an item equal to any specified brand or trade name. At the preconstruction meeting, the Contractor may submit to the Engineer data substantiating such a request, and the difference, if any, in cost. The Engineer shall promptly investigate the request and make a recommendation to the City as to equality.
The City shall promptly determine where the substitute is equal in every respect to the item specified, and approve or deny the request accordingly, and shall notify the Engineer of the determination made, who shall advise the Contractor in writing of the decision. Unless the request is granted, substitution will not be permitted. In accordance with Section 3400 of the California Public Contracts Code, the Contractor shall be provided a period of not less than 35 days after the award of contract for submission of data substantiating a request for a substitution of “an equal” item.
Nothing herein shall authorize a change in the Contract price or prevent the use of change order in the manner provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
G.C. 10 FINAL INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND NOTICE
OF COMPLETION
Upon written notice from the Contractor that the entire work required by the Contract Documents is complete and that all submittals required by him are made, and after the Contractor has delivered the bonds, certificates of inspection, proof of insurance, guarantees, warranties, releases, and other documents, all as required by the Contract Documents or by law, a post construction conference will be held to review the work and resolve any unsettled matters. Present at the conference shall be the Engineer, the Inspector, the Contractor, and the Contractor’s Superintendent. Following this conference, Engineer will make a final inspection, the Contractor, and the City will notify the Contractor in writing of any deficiencies in the submittals and other documents required of him.

G.C. 11 GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY OF WORK
The Contractor shall submit all products and materials to be used to the Engineer for approval. The Contractor shall provide a list of submittals at the pre-construction conference.
Notwithstanding inspections and acceptance by the City of work furnished under this contract, the Contractor warrants to the City that all materials and equipment furnished under the contract, including that provided pursuant to change orders, will be of good quality and new, that the work will be free from defects in material or workmanship and that the work will conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Work not conforming to these requirements, including substitutions not properly approved and authorized, may be considered defective.
This warranty by the Contractor is in addition to any warranties or guarantees required by the special provisions or technical specifications for specified items of equipment or materials. This warranty shall be in effect notwithstanding any disclaimers, or limiting or conditional terms contained such separate warranties furnished by manufacturers or suppliers.
If, within one year after the date of final acceptance of the work by the City, any of the work is found not to be in accordance with the Contract Documents the Contractor shall correct it promptly after written notice from the City to do so, and pay for any damage to other property resulting from such non-conforming work. If the Contractor fails to make the repairs or replacements promptly, or in any emergency when delay could cause risk or damage or loss, the City may have the nonconforming work removed, replaced or corrected at the expense of the Contractor and his surety.
If the amount of the performance bond is insufficient to cover such work, the Contractor shall be liable to pay any such deficiency on demand by the City. Nonconforming work which is remedied under this Section shall be subject to an extended warranty obligation for a period of one year after the non-conforming work has been remedied.
All workmanship performed, and materials/equipment installed, as part of this contract shall be guaranteed for a period of one year, commencing upon issuance of the Notice of Completion for the work under this contract.
G.C. 12 CITY’S RIGHT TO STOP WORK OR TERMINATE THE CONTRACT The City, without prejudice to such other right, remedy or relief it may be entitled to, may by giving ten (10) days notice to the Contractor, terminate the employment of the Contractor and it his right to proceed, if:
A. The Contractor shall be adjudged bankrupt or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

E. The Contractor shall fail to make payments to persons supplying labor or materials for the work.
F. The Contractor does not comply with applicable law or instructions of the Engineer.
G. The Contractor is otherwise guilty of a substantial violation of any provision of the Contract Documents.
If the City determines that the Contractor has failed to perform any of its obligations under the Standard Contract Agreement or to otherwise comply with the Standard Contract Agreement, then, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, City may terminate the Standard Contract Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Contractor provided, however, that if the City’s determination of the Contractor’s failure to perform under or comply with the Standard Contract Agreement can be cured by Contractor within thirty (30) days from the date that City discovers Contractor’s failure to perform or comply, then the City may provide Contractor with a notice of Contractor’s failure to perform or comply and provide Contractor with a definite period of time, to be specified in the notice and not to exceed a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, to cure. Failure to perform or comply to City’s satisfaction within the definite time period specified in the notice are grounds for termination by City.
The City Manager is empowered to terminate the Standard Contract Agreement and issue the notices provided for in this Section on behalf of City. In the event of termination, the Contractor shall immediately cease all work being performed under the Standard Contract Agreement.
Termination of the Standard Contract Agreement by City shall constitute the withdrawal of any consent or authorization of City for Contractor to perform any construction or other work under the Standard Contract Agreement in the public right-of-way or on public property, excepting only that work necessary to leave all work site areas in a clean and safe condition.
The City’s right to terminate may be for the entire work, or at the City’s option, as to any portion thereof as to which delay shall have occurred or breach or miscompliance related, and may thereupon take possession of the entire work or portion thereof. In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance shall exceed the expense of completion, and other damage, expense or loss of the City occasioned by the Contractor’s failure to properly perform, the Contractor shall pay such excess. If such expense and damage exceeds the unpaid balance, the Contractor is liable to the City for the excess. If the City elects to proceed under this Section, it may take possession of and utilize in completing the work such materials, supplies, pain and equipment on site which may be necessary or convenient for the purpose of completing the work. The City is expressly granted the right, acting via an Engineer or otherwise, to operate equipment and machinery on site for the purpose of determining whether it has a basis for proceeding under this Section.
G.C. 13 PAYMENT AND MONTHLY ESTIMATES
1. Schedules, Reports and Records As stated in Section 9-2 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction “Greenbook” (latest edition), the Contractor is required to submit to 78 the Engineer for approval, a schedule of values for bid items. Lump Sum bid items are to be broken out into appropriate segments to create the schedule. This is to be integrated with the project work schedule and submittal schedule. These schedules will be used in the evaluation of Contractor Progress Payment Requests to the City.
2. Pay Period On or immediately after the first day of each month, the Contractor is to submit to the Engineer a “Request For Progress Payment.” This request is to be for work performed and for materials on the site up to and including the last day of the month. The Request For Progress Payment is to be submitted on a “Payment Application and Certificate” form (CP-14).
3. Retentions Pursuant to Section 9-3.2 of the Specifications, 5 percent of each month’s amount earned by the Contractor will be retained by the City until 50 percent of the contract work is completed. At that point, at the Engineer’s discretion, if work is proceeding satisfactorily, retention may be discontinued except for the amount previously retained. Pursuant to Section 9-
3.2 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction “Greenbook” (latest edition), the Contractor may elect to place sufficient acceptable securities with the City or in an escrow account, in lieu of the Engineer’s retention of the funds. Earnings from such an escrow account shall accrue to the benefit of the Contractor. All procedures and documentation shall be as provided by State Law.
4. Preparation and Processing of Monthly Progress Payment Requests Each monthly progress payment shall be submitted on a copy of the form “Payment Application and Certificate” (CP-14).
It shall be prepared and certified by the Contractor and submitted to the Engineer, on or immediately following the last day of the month. It shall include the Contractor’s itemization, prepared in a format approved by the Engineer and including the approved schedule of values. The “Payment Application and Certificate” (Form CP-14) shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Contractor.
Preparation of the request for progress payment should be preceded by consultation between the Contractor and the Engineer to determine acceptable percentages of completion for items in the Schedule of Values for which work has been performed. The extension of the total amount due per Schedule Item should agree with the percentage of completion. This may necessitate expressing the percentage figure to four decimal places.
Pursuant to Section 9-3.3 of the Specifications, requests for payments for materials on the site shall be accompanied by invoices, bills of sale, delivery tickets or other documentation that establishes the City’s title and the value of materials for which payment is requested.
Requests for payment of Change Orders authorized by the City shall be accompanied by signed daily work orders for labor, equipment and materials if performed on a time and material basis.
These are to be submitted on “Cost of Work Record” forms (CP-18).
The Engineer will review the request, check all mathematical entries, percentages and extension, and when satisfactory, will transmit the Form CP-14 to the Director of Public Works with recommendation for payment. Upon approval, the Engineer will submit, the progress payment request to the City’s Finance Department for payment to the contractor. Payment will then be issued to the Contractor by the City, with retention of a portion of the funds by the City, as indicated above. If a retention securities escrow account has been established, the City will make 100% payment of the approved monthly progress payment.
79 Upon satisfactory completion of the Contract work, and official acceptance by the City, the retained amount will be paid to the Contractor by City, or the City will authorize the release of impounded securities to the Contractor, all subject to the provisions of Section 9-3.1 of the Specifications.
G.C. 14 FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK IN THE TIME AGREED UPON
It is agreed by the parties to the Contract that time is of the essence; and that in the case all the work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit set forth, damage will be sustained by the City and it is, therefore, agreed that the Contractor will pay to the City as damages the amount of the actual damage as determined, due to the failure to complete the work in the time agreed upon. In addition, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor and to deduct from payments for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses, which are directly chargeable to the contract and which accrue during the period of such delay, except that the cost of final surveys and preparation of the final estimate shall not be included in such charges. The expenses and damages described above shall be deducted from any money due the Contractor under this contract; the Contractor and his sureties shall be liable for any such excess cost.
The Contractor shall not be deemed in breach of its contract and no forfeiture due to delay shall be made because of any delays in the completion of the work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contract, provided the Contractor requests an extension of time in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6-6 of the Standard Specification for Public Works Construction “Greenbook” (latest edition). Unforeseeable causes of delay beyond the control of Contractor shall include acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of the government, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and weather, or delays caused by failure of the City or the owner of a utility to provide for removal or relocation of existing utility. Failure of the Contractor, its agent, servants, employees, officers, subcontractors, directors, or of any party contracting to perform part or all of the work or to supply any equipment or materials shall not be excusable delays. Excusable delays (those beyond Contractor’s control) shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The sole remedy of the Contractor shall be to seek an extension of time.
G.C. 15 FINAL ACCEPTANCE, RECORDING AND PAYMENT
Upon determination by the Engineer that the contract work, or a designated phase thereof, is substantially complete and usable for its intended purpose, the City may issue a “Notice of Substantial Completion” to the Contractor. Substantial completion shall not constitute final acceptance of the work, nor shall it relieve the Contractor of its obligation to complete punch list items, submit required closeout documents, execute final change orders, provide releases, submit record drawings/as-builts, or satisfy any other remaining requirements of the Contract Documents.
The acceptance and closeout process is as follows:
1. When the Contractor believes the contract work, or a designated portion thereof, is substantially complete and usable for its intended purpose, the Contractor shall submit a written request for Substantial Completion. Upon review, if the Engineer determines that 80 the work satisfies the requirements for Substantial Completion, the Engineer may issue of a “Notice of Substantial Completion” to the Contractor.
2. Upon issuance of the “Notice of Substantial Completion,” the Contractor’s required oneyear warranty period, or as described in the Contract Documents, shall commence for the substantially completed work or designated portion thereof, and the City may assume operational responsibility for and use of the completed facilities. The Contractor shall remain responsible for protecting the work, correcting defective work, completing punch list items, and satisfying all remaining Contract requirements. Achievement of Substantial Completion shall establish the date for determining compliance with Contract Time requirements, except for separately specified closeout obligations that remain applicable after issuance of the “Notice of Substantial Completion”.
3. Following issuance of the “Notice of Substantial Completion,” the Contractor shall complete all remaining closeout requirements within sixty (60) calendar days, unless otherwise extended in writing by the Engineer. Closeout requirements may include, but are not limited to, completion of punch list items, execution of final change orders, submittal of required releases, delivery of record drawings/as-builts, warranties, manuals, certifications, final quantity documentation, and submittal of the final invoice.
4. Upon completion of all punch list items and closeout requirements to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the Engineer may recommend to the City Manager and City Council that the contract work, or designated phase thereof, is complete and ready for final acceptance by the City. Final acceptance and release of payment may be withheld if unresolved claims, disputed compensation requests, or unexecuted change orders remain, as permitted under the Contract Documents.
5. Following City Council adoption of a resolution accepting the completed contract work, or designated phase thereof, the City Clerk will file a “Notice of Completion” with the County Recorder of the County of San Mateo.
6. The City may continue to make progress payments for properly completed and accepted work in accordance with the Contract Documents, less any retention and amounts otherwise held under the Contract Documents. Issuance of the “Notice of Substantial Completion” shall not, by itself, require release of retention or payment of amounts otherwise withheld or retained by the City.
7. A period of thirty-five (35) calendar days will elapse from the date of filing of the “Notice of Completion of Contract” with the County Recorder before final payment of retained amounts will be made to the Contractor.
8. If no stop notices are received by the City within the stated thirty-five (35) calendar day period, the City will issue final payment of retained amounts for the contract work, or designated phase thereof, to the Contractor. If any stop notice is received by the City within the thirty-five (35) calendar day period, it will be referred to the City’s legal 81 counsel, and final payment of retained amounts will be deferred or adjusted in accordance with the advice of legal counsel until such stop notice matter has been satisfactorily resolved.

The Contractor is also directed to review the entire Statute, Chapter 1414, Section 20207.4 and Section 20104 of the Public Contract Code.
The City’s records setting forth the fair and reasonable cost of repairing, replacing, rebuilding or reasonable cost of repairing, replacing, rebuilding or restoring any damage or defects when performed by one other than the Contractor shall be binding and conclusive as to the amount thereof upon the Contractor.

Such notice allows the City to consider preventative action, to monitor the Contractor’s increased costs resulting from the situation, to marshall facts, and to plan its affairs.

D. The inside and outside of pipe ends shall be cleaned with a cotton or non-synthetic cloth to remove dirt, water, grease, and other foreign materials. The pipe ends shall be cut square, faced, and carefully aligned immediately prior to heating.
E. Upon achieving the proper melt pattern, the pipe ends shall be brought together in a firm, rapid motion applying sufficient pressure to form a pipe bead (1/8 inch to 3/16 inch in height) around and inside the entire circumference of the pipe.
F. Terminal sections of pipe that are joined within the insertion pit shall be connected with Central Plastics Electrofusion Couplings, or equal, or connectors with tensile strength equivalent or greater to the pipe being joined.
G. All joints shall be de-beaded along the interior of the pipe.
3.06 PIPE INSTALLATION
A. After the service connections have been located and marked by the Contractor the Contractor will excavate and expose so the Contractor can isolate all sewer service connections prior to replacing the existing sewer. Service Lateral excavation shall be performed in such as manner as to avoid humps in the new sewer due to unevenly distributed resistance on the sides of the exposed existing sewer.
B. Where practical, the Contractor may utilize existing manholes or insertion pits. If the Contractor for his convenience uses a manhole not designated for replacement, the Contractor will replace the manhole at his own expense. Manhole inverts, 244
PIPE BURSTING 333119-7
2026 Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project benches, and channels shall be removed to permit access for installation equipment as appropriate. When installing through an existing manhole, the input and output pipe openings shall be enlarged sufficiently to accommodate the maximum OD size of the pipe bursting device. At no time shall the bursting device and/or the installation process place undue stress on the existing manhole opening surface.
Benches and channels shall be reconstructed after the new pipe is in place.
C. The pipe bursting tool shall be designed and manufactured to force its way through existing pipe materials by cutting and fragmenting the pipe and compressing the old pipe sections into the surrounding soil as it proceeds. The bursting unit shall generate sufficient force to cut, burst, and expand the existing pipeline. The pipe bursting tool shall be pulled through the sewer by a winch located at the upstream manhole, or downstream manhole if authorized in writing by the Owner. The bursting unit shall pull the polyethylene pipe (PE) with it as it moves forward. The bursting head shall incorporate a shield/expander to prevent collapse of the hole ahead of the PE pipe. The pipe bursting unit shall be remotely controlled. The bursting action of the tool shall increase the external dimensions sufficiently, causing breakage of the pipe at the same time expanding the surrounding ground.
This action shall not only cut and break the pipe but also create the void into which the burster can be winched and enables forward progress to be made. At the same time the polyethylene pipe, directly attached to the sleeve on the rear of the burster, shall also move forward. The burster shall have its own forward momentum while being assisted by power winching. The power winch shall give the burster constant tension by which it can move forward. To form a complete operating system, the burster must be matched to a constant tension power winching system.
D. A winch shall be attached to the front of the bursting unit, connecting to or through the guide head. The winch shall provide a constant tension to the bursting in order that it may operate in an efficient manner. The winch shall have twin capstan with twin hydraulic drive motors and twin gear boxes for independent operation. In no case shall the winch cable storage spool be considered part of the twin capstan pulling system. The winch shall be hydraulically operated providing a constant tension throughout the operation. The winch shall be of the constant tension type but shall be fitted with a direct reading load gauge to measure the winching load.
The winch must automatically maintain a constant tension at a set tonnage reading.
The constant tension winch shall supply sufficient cable in one continuous length so that the pull may be continuous between approved winching points. The winch, cable and cable drum must be provided with safety cage and supports so that it may be operated safely without injury to persons or property. The Contractor shall provide a system of guide pulleys and bracing at the exit pit to minimize cable contact with the existing line between launch and exit pits. The supports to the trench shoring in the insertion pit shall remain completely separate from the winch boom support system and shall be so designed such that neither the pipe nor the winch cable shall be in contact with them. The Contractor shall secure the pipe to concrete structures or manholes after the pipe has been installed through the length of sewer being replaced. The Contractor shall install an Engineer approved water 245
PIPE BURSTING 333119-8
2026 Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project stop or flange adapter that is fused and seated perpendicular to the pipe axis, around the pipe exterior, and grouted into the structure wall to create a watertight seal at the manhole wall. The new pipe shall be installed to initially extend 12 inches inside the manhole opening. The structure or manhole connections shall be made a minimum of 12 hours after pipe insertion.
3.07 TESTING
A. Test pipe and lateral connections in accordance with Section 027700.
3.08 CONSTRUCTION METHOD
A. Equipment used to perform the work shall be located away from buildings so to minimize noise impact. Provide a silent engine compartment with the winch to reduce machine noise, as required to meet local codes and regulations.
B. The Contractor shall install all pulleys, rollers, bumpers, alignment control devices and other equipment required to protect existing manholes, and to protect the pipe from damage during installation. Lubrication may be used as recommended by the pipe and lubricant Manufacturers. Lubrication fluids shall be contained in stabilized mud pits or tanks. Lubrication fluids shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner. Under no circumstances will the pipe be stressed beyond 72 percent of polyethylene pipe Manufacturer's specified minimum yield strength. Winch line is to be centered in pipe to be burst with adjustable boom.
C. The installed pipe shall be allowed to cure for the Manufacturer's recommended amount of time, but not less than twelve (12) hours, for cooling and relaxation due to tensile stressing prior to any reconnection of service lines, sealing of the annulus or backfilling of the insertion pit. Sufficient excess length of new pipe, but not less than four (4) inches, shall be allowed to protrude into the manhole to provide for occurrence. Restraint of pipe ends shall be achieved by means of Central Plastics Electrofusion couplings or equivalent. The Electrofusion couplings shall be slipped over pipe ends against manhole wall and fused in place. Installation of Electrofusion couplings shall be done in accordance with the Manufacturers recommended procedures.
D. Following the relaxation period, the annular space shall be sealed. Sealing shall be made with non-shrink, watertight materials approved by the Engineer and shall extend a minimum of twelve (12) inches into the manhole wall in such a manner as to form a smooth, uniform, watertight joint. The terminating, pipe ends in manholes shall be connected by flexible coupling or PVC repair coupling or equivalent, to eliminate ground water infiltration. Installations of couplings shall be done in accordance with the Manufacturers recommended procedures.
3.09 SAGS IN LINE
A. Following installation of the new sewer main by pipe bursting, If the postinstallation video inspection reveals a sag in the existing sewer resulting in a 246
PIPE BURSTING 333119-9
2026 Sanitary Sewer and Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project standing water to a depth equal to or greater than 25% of the pipe interior diameter, the Contractor shall take necessary measures to eliminate the sag by digging a sag elimination pit and bringing the bottom of the pipe trench to a uniform grade or by other measures that shall be acceptable to the Engineer.
3.10 FINAL CLEANING AND TELEVISION INSPECTION
A. Prior to final inspection and acceptance of the new pipe, the Contractor shall flush and clean the system by removing all accumulated construction debris, rocks, gravel, sand, silt, and other foreign material from the pipe.
B. After completion of the pipe installation service reconnecting, finish work at the manholes, and final cleaning, the sewer shall be televised in accordance with Section 330131. The post CCTV video shall be submitted to the Engineer or Owner for approval and acceptance of the sewer main.
