PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:

A. The following subsections describe the measurement of and payment for the work to
be done under the items listed in the BID.

B. Each unit or lump sum price stated in the BID shall constitute full compensation as
herein specified for each item of work completed in accordance with the drawings and
specifications.

C. The prices for those items which involve excavation shall include compensation for
disposal of surplus excavated material, handling water, and installation of all
necessary sheeting and bracing.

D. In all items involving excavation, the price shall be based on doing the entire
excavation in earth. Where rock is excavated, the price therefor, shall be in addition
to the cost of excavating earth, and no deduction will be made in the amount for earth
excavation.

(NTS: In following paragraph add "force mains" where appropriate.)

E. The prices for all pipe items (sewers and building connections) shall constitute full
compensation for furnishing, laying, jointing, and testing pipe; earth excavation and
backfill; cleaning up; and screened gravel.

(NTS: Use the following two paragraphs if more than one size sewer pipe.)
1.02 LIMITS OF NORMAL EXCAVATION:

A. In determining the quantities of excavation to which unit prices shall apply, the limits
of normal width and depth of excavation shall be as described below, unless other
limits are indicated on the Drawings or specified.

B. For pipes in trench, the normal width of the trench shall be measured between vertical
planes which are a distance apart equal to the sum of 18 in. (450 mm) plus 1-1/3 times
the nominal inside diameter of the pipe. If the width so computed is less than 3 ft.
(0.9 m), a width of 3 ft. (0.9 m) shall be taken as the normal width for payment. The
normal depth shall be measured to a distance of 0.2 ft. (60 mm) below the bottom of
the pipe in earth and 0.7 ft. (210 mm) in rock, unless there be a cradle underneath the
pipe, in which case the normal depth shall be measured to the underside of the cradle.
The width of trench for the cradle shall be assumed to be that specified above for
pipes in trench.
