Compaction shall be obtained by the Specified Density Method. Compaction operations shall be
conducted according to the latest edition of Mn/DOT Specification 2331, or as modified herein.
Each lift shall be uniformly compacted to a density not less than 95 percent of the Marshall Density
indicated on the Job Mix Formula submitted to the Engineer.
Samples of the placed bituminous mixture will be submitted to an independent testing laboratory for
gradation and extraction. Sample locations shall be as directed by the Engineer or field
representative. Samples shall be obtained at the rate of 1 per 500 Ton of each mix placed per lift with
a minimum of one sample per mix per lift day.
Determination of in place pavement density will be made by nuclear testing. Samples will be taken
from each day's production at the direction of the Engineer and prior to placement of the next course
but not later than the next working day following the date of placement. Samples shall be taken at the
rate of 1 sample per 500 tons per course with a minimum of one sample per day per course.
Sampling and testing will be done by an independent testing laboratory. Immediately after taking the
cores, sampling holes shall be refilled with the same type of material and properly compacted.
One retest of each failing test will be permitted and the higher of the two densities will be used in
determining the pay factor. All retesting shall be done within three working days after placement of
the bituminous mixture. Pay factors will be based on the applicable tables as shown in the latest
edition of Mn/DOT Specification 2331. All retesting shall be at the expense of the Contractor.
Additional sampling and testing may be done, if in the Engineer's opinion, or if there is evidence that
satisfactory results are not being achieved.
Not withstanding the provisions contained herein, a smooth, uniform, tightly knit surface conforming
to the specified grade and cross section is required. Rutting, scuffing, and raveling of the surface will
be considered a failure, and subject to corrective action. An open graded or coarse surface will also
be considered a failure. Should the final surface exhibit any of these characteristics in a few isolated
areas, (10 percent of the entire length paved under this Contract or less), the sections in question
shall be repaired or replaced as directed by the Engineer. Where the failure extends beyond 10
percent of the length paved, the Engineer may require removal and replacement, an FA 1 seal coat
in accordance with Mn/DOT Spec. 2356, a "Type 41A" overlay in accordance with Mn/DOT Spec.
2331, or a monetary deduction for future corrective action; such corrective action would apply to the
entire surface paved under this Contract unless the Engineer determines that a shorter segment is
acceptable.

tested for excessive leakage upon completion and before connections are made to the service
by others. Each test section of the sewer shall be subjected to exfiltration testing, either by
hydrostatic or air test method as described below. The requirements set forth for maximum
leakage shall be met as a condition for acceptance of the sewer section represented by the test.
If the ground water level is greater than 3 feet above the invert elevation of the upper manhole
and the Engineer so accepts, infiltration testing may be allowed in lieu of the exfiltration
testing. In which case, the allowable leakage shall be the same as would be allowed for the
hydrostatic test.
All testing shall be performed by the Contractor without any direct compensation being made,
and the Contractor shall furnish all necessary equipment and materials, including plugs and
standpipes as required.

3. HYDROSTATIC TESTING
After the pipe has been laid including fittings, services, valves and hydrants, and the line has
been backfilled in accordance with these Specifications, all newly laid pipe, or any valved
section thereof including building services unless otherwise directed-by the Engineer, shall be
subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test. -- o~ .....-
Each valved section of pipe shal! be ~loWly filled with water. The specified test pressure,
measured at the highest point ofe!evation,shall be applied by means of a pump connected
to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump, pipe connection, gauges, and all necessary
apparatus shall be furnished by the Contractor. Before applying the specified test pressure,
all air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, taps shall be made if necessary at
points of highest elevation and afterward tightly plugged.
The test pressure shall be brought to 150 psi. Thereafter, the test shall be considered
satisfactory if without additional water, the pressure remains constant for a period of 2 hours.
A passing test will not lose more than 2 psi.
4. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY TEST
After the hydrostatic test has been successfully completed, a conductivity test shall be
conducted in accordance with the following specification:
4.1 Test Procedure
The system (pipeline and hydrants) shall be tested for electrical continuity and current
capacity. Backfilling shall have been completed. The line may be tested in sections of
convenient length as accepted by the Engineer.
Direct current of 350 amperes, f: 10 percent, shall be passed through the pipe line for 5
minutes. Current flow through the pipe shall be measured continuously on a suitable ammeter
and shall remain steady without interruption or excessive fluctuation throughout the5 minute
test period.
Insufficient current or intermittent current or arcing, indicated by large fluctuation of the
ammeter needle, shall be evidence of defective electrical contact in the pipeline. The cause
shall be isolated and corrected. Thereafter, the section in which the defective test occurred
shall be retested as a unit and shall meet the requirements.
Standard Detail Specifications
Water Main Systems
Albertville, MN
04/00
Page W-11
4.2 Notes on Test Procedure
Sources of D.C. current for these tests may be motor generators, batteries, arc welding
machines, etc.; D.C. arc welding machines will probably be the usual source. These machines
are available in adequate capacity for these tests and are equipped with controls for regulating
the current output.
Cables from the power source to the section of the system under test should be of sufficient
size to carry the test current without overheating or excessive voltagedrop. Usable sizes will
probably be in the range of 2/0 to 4/0 A.W.G.
Connections for the test shall be made at hydrants. The hydrants shall be in the open position
with the caps on during the test. The cable shall be clamped to thetop operating nut. Note:
After the test, the hydrant shall be shut oft and a cap loosened to allow hydrant drainage.
Tighten cap after drainage.
A hook-on type D.C. ammeter placed on one of the cables leading to the hydrant is a
convenient method of measuring current.
In using arc welding machines, the current control should be set at a minimum before starting.
After starting the machine, advance the control until the current indicated on the ammeter is
at the desired test value. Caution: In case of open circuits at joints or connections, the voltage
across the defective joint or connection will be in the order of 50-100 volts.
5. DISINFECTION OF WATER MAINS
5.1 General
All pipelines installed shall be disinfected with a strong chlorine solution. Disinfecting may be
done concurrently with pressure and leakage testing or after pressure and leakage testing at
the option of the Contractor. Each section line that is repaired shall be disinfected after such
repairs are made. All necessary disinfection equipment and materials shall be provided by the
Contractor.

5.2 Flushing
The pipeline shall be flushed at a velocity of at least 2.5 feet per second immediately prior to
disinfection. A 24-hour notice is required to the City Water Department for pipeline flushing.
5.3 Disinfectants
Disinfection shall be performed using either chlorine gas or calcium hypochlorite solution.
Chlorine gas shall conform to AWWA 8301 and shall be handled under pressure as an
aqueous solution. Calcium hypochlorite shall conform to AWWA 8300 and shall be granules
with 70 percent available chlorine.
5.4 Feeding
Chlorine gas shall be used only as a solution. Introduction of chlorine gas into the pipeline
directly will not be permitted. When chlorine is used, a chlorinator and booster pump with
injector shall be provided.
Calcium hypochlorite shall be made into a solution and pumped into the pipeline with a
suitable chemical feed pump.
5.5 Application
Pipelines shall be disinfected by either the continuous feed method or the slug method.
In using the continuous feed method, chlorine feed shall be proportional to the rate of flow into
the pipe so the entering water contains at least 50 mgll of available chlorine. Chlorine
application shall be continuous until the entire pipeline is filled with the chlorine solution. The
treated water shall be retained in the pipeline for at least 24 hours and the chlorine residual
at the end of the period shall be at least 25 mgll.
In using the slug method, chlorine shall be fed at a rate that will produce at least 300 mgll in
the water entering the pipeline and a sufficient quantity of water shall be chlorinated so all
parts of the pipeline will be exposed to chlorine concentration of 300 mgll for at least 3 hours.
During disinfection all valves and hydrants shall be operated to ensure all appurtenances are
disinfected.

5.6 Bacteriological Tests
The chlorine solution shall be flushed out of the line and samples shall be collected and tested
for bacteriological quality after the line has set for a minimum of 24 hours. Thesamples shall
be collect~d by the City Water Department personnel and the cost of these tests paid for by
the Contractor. A 24-hour notice is required to the City Water Department for pipeline flushing.
5.7 Repeat Testing
If initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory bacteriological samples, the disinfection shall
be repeated until satisfactory bacteriological samples are obtained. Costs for additional
disinfection shall be borne by the Contractor.
5.8 Inspection
The above operation shall be supervised by a qualified Inspector furnished by the Consultant.
If a qualified Inspector cannot be supplied, the City shall furnish an Inspector. The City shall
have a least a 24-hour notice for said inspection.
6. WATER MAINS CROSSING SEWERS
Water mains crossing sanitary sewers, storm sewers, or house sewers shall be laid to provide
a .separation of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the water main and the top of the
sewer. When local conditions prevent a vertical separation as described, the following shall
be used:
1. Sewers passing over or under water main shall be constructed of materials equal to
water main standards of construction.
2. Water mains passing under sewers shall, in addition, be protected by providing:
1. A vertical separation of at least 18 inches between the bottom of the sewer and the
top of the water main.
2. Adequate structural support for the sewers to prevent excessive deflection of joints
and settling on and breaking the water mains.
3. The length of water pipe be centered at the point of crossing so joints will be
equidistant and as far as possible from the sewer.
Water mains shall be laid at least 10 feet horizontally from any sanitary sewer, storm sewer
or sewer manhole whenever possible. When local conditions prevent a horizontal separation
of 10 feet, a water main may be laid closer to a storm or sanitary sewer provided that:
1. The bottom of the main is a least 18 inches above the top of the sewer;
