MATERIALS AND ACCESSORIES.
IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO VISIT THE SITE OF THE WORK AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL AVAILABLE
INFORMATION REGARDING THE LOCATION OF EXISTING FACILITIES. FAILURE OF THE CONTRACTOR TO FULLY INFORM HIMSELF OF ALL EXISTING
CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE CAUSE FOR OWNER ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.
ALL EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS USED IN THIS INSTALLATION SHALL BE NEW, OF APPROVED QUALITY AND MANUFACTURE AND, UNLESS
OTHERWISE NOTED, SHALL BE STANDARD CATALOG ITEMS OF THE VARIOUS MANUFACTURERS. EACH COMPONENT OF THE WORK SHALL BE
COMPLETE, CONNECTED AND CAPABLE OF SATISFACTORY FUNCTIONAL OPERATION.

MUNICIPALITY, IN WHICH THE CONSTRUCTION IS LOCATED, AND ANY OTHER ENTITY HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THIS WORK.
ALL EQUIPMENT SHALL FIT THE ALLOTTED SPACE AND SHALL LEAVE REASONABLE ACCESS ROOM FOR SERVICING AND REPAIRS. GREATER SPACE
AND ROOM REQUIRED BY SUBSTITUTED EQUIPMENT SHALL BE PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR AND AT HIS EXPENSE AND MEETING THE
APPROVAL OF THE OWNER. IF THE CONTRACTOR DISCOVERS ANY DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN EQUIPMENT DIMENSIONS AND SPACE ALLOTMENTS
THEREFORE; HE SHALL NOTIFY THE OWNER IN WRITING AND SHALL NOT PROCEED WITH THE WORK UNTIL HE HAS RECEIVED WRITTEN
INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE OWNER.
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DO NO CUTTING THAT MAY IMPAIR STRENGTH OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. NO HOLES, EXCEPT FOR SMALL SCREWS,
MAY BE DRILLED IN BEAMS OR OTHER STRUCTURAL MEMBERS WITHOUT OBTAINING PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE COWNER.

OF THE FINAL ACCEPTANCE. IN ADDITION TO THE GUARANTEE, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE THE PERFORMANCE WARRANTIES AS SPECIFIED
FOR THE EQUIPMENT IN THE VARIOUS SECTIONS.
TESTING: APPLY A WATER PRESSURE TEST TO ALL PARTS OF THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS BEFORE THE PIPING IS CONCEALED AND BEFORE
FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT ARE CONNECTED. USE A HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE OF NOT LESS THAN 125 PSIG APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM FOR A
PERIOD OF FOUR HOURS. THERE SHALL BE NO LEAKS AT ANY POINT IN THE SYSTEM AT THIS PRESSURE.
LEAVE CONCEALED WORK UNCOVERED UNTIL REQUIRED TESTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, BUT IF NECESSARY TO MAKE TESTS ON PORTIONS OF
THE WORK, THOSE PORTIONS OF THE WORK MAY BE CONCEALED AFTER BEING INSPECTED AND APPROVED. REPAIR DEFECTS THAT ARE
DISCOVERED AS A RESULT OF INSPECTIONS OR TESTS WITH NEW MATERIALS. CAULKING, PEENING OR SOLDERING OF SCREWED JOINTS, CRACKS,
OR HOLES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. REPEAT TESTS AFTER DEFECTS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.
CLEANING/STERILIZATION: AS SOON AS THE WATER PIPING HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT, STERILIZE THE LINES BY INTRODUCING INTO
THEM A SOLUTION OF CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE OR CHLORIDE OF LIME. OPEN AND CLOSE ALL VALVES WHILE SYSTEM IS BEING CHLORINATED.
AFTER THE STERILIZING AGENT HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR 24 HOURS, TEST FOR RESIDUAL CHLORINE AT THE ENDS OF THE LINES. REPEAT THE
PROCESS IF LESS THAN 10 PARTS PER MILLION IS INDICATED. WHEN THE TESTS SHOW AT LEAST 10 PARTS PER MILLION OF RESIDUAL CHLORINE,

HORIZONTAL DISTANCE CRITERIA CANNOT BE MET DUE TO AN EXISTING UNDERGROUND FACILITY CONFLICT, THE
SEWER SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED OF DUCTILE IRON PIPE WITH SLIP—ON OR MECHANICAL JOINTS AND PRESSURE
TESTED AT 150 P.S.I.
A VERTICAL DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 18 INCHES SHALL BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN ANY WATER AND SEWER MAINS. THE
SEWER SHALL BE A DUCTILE IRON SINGLE 20 FEET LENGTH CENTERED ON THE CROSSING IF THE MINIMUM VERTICAL
DISTANCE IS LESS THAN 18 INCHES OR IF THE SEWER IS INSTALLED ABOVE THE WATER MAIN (REGARDLESS OF
SEPARATION)
IN HIGHLY CONGESTED AREAS, WHERE EITHER WATER OR SEWER FACILITIES ARE EXISTING, IF THE SEPARATION
REQUIREMENTS CANNOT MET, SPECIAL CONSIDERATION MAY BE GIVEN SUBJECT TO A COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE
CONDITIONS.
THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE EXALTRATION RATE OF GRAVITY SANITARY SEWERS CONSTRUCTED IN A PUBLIC WELLFIELD
PROTECTION AREA SHALL BE FIFTY (50) GALLON PER INCH PIPE DIAMETER PER MILE PER DAY FOR RESIDENTIAL
LAND USE, AND TWENTY (20) GALLON PER INCH PIPE DIAMETER PER MILI PER DAY FOR NON—RESIDENTIAL LAND

100 P.S.I.
—FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE PRESSURE SANITARY REWER FORCE MAIN EXFILTRATION RATE SHALL NOT BE
GREATER THAN HALF (1/2) THE ALLOWABLE LEAKAGE RATE SPECIFIED IN AWWAS 600-82 AT A TEST
PRESSURE OF 100 P.S.I.
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL VERIFY NATURE, DEPTH AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING UNDERGROUND UTILITIES PRIOR TO
START OF CONSTRUCTION.
ALL OTHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE UTILITY FACILITIES SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED AT LEAST FIVE (5) FEET FROM ANY
SEWER MAIN AS MEASURED FROM THE OUTSIDE BELL OF THE UTILITY PIPES.
WHEN THE FIVE (5) FEET SEPARATION BETWEEN PROPOSED AND EXISTING LINES IS NOT POSSIBLE, THE CONTRACTOR
SHALL HAND DIG OR EXPOSE THE WATER AND SEWER PIPES BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH POWER EQUIPMENT
EXCAVATION.
IN NO CASE SHALL THE CONTRACTOR INSTALL UTILITY PIPES, CONDUITS, CABLES, ETC., IN THE SAME TRENCH
PARALLEL AND ABOVE AN EXISTING WATER OR SEWER PIPE EXCEPT WHERE THEY CROSS. ANY DESVIATION FROM
NOTES 6, 7 AND 8 SHALL BE APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE RESPONSIBLE WATER AND SEWER UTILITY.
MIAMI—DADE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTES
STORM DRAINAGE LINES IF ANY ARE TREATED THE SAME AS SANITARY SEWER LINES, EXFILTRATION DRAINAGE
TRENCHES ARE EXEMPTED.
MINIMUM 10 FEET HORIZONTAL SEPARATION BETWEEN WATER MAINS AND SEWER LINES IS REQUIRED. IF UNABLE TO
MANTAIN MINIMUM SEPARATION HORIZONTALLY, EACH PIPE SHALL BE SHELVED WITH MINIMUN 18 INCHES VERTICAL
SEPARATION.
FORCE MAIN MUST HAVE AN 18 INCHES VERTICAL SEPARATION FROM WATER LINES; NO EXCEPTIONS.
SEWER LINES, INCLUDING LATERALS, MUST HAVE 18 INCHES VERTICAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN WATER MAINS AND/OR
6 INCHES MINIMUM CLEARANCE IF SEWER LINE IS DIP AND HAS NO JOINTS WITHIN 10 FEET OF INTERSECTION (I.C.,
ONE 20 FT. JOIN DIP CENTERED ON INTERSECTION), STORM DRAINAGE LINES ARE EXEMPT IF DIP WATER MAIN
SEPARATION OF 6 INCHES IS MAINTAINED AND BOTH PIPES HAVE NO JOINTS WITHIN 10 FEET OF INTERSECTION.
SEWER LATERALS (SERVICES) SHALL HAVE 18 INCHES CLEARANCE FROM WATER MAINS.
