“E. Weight The term “ton” will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois.

Unless otherwise specified, the Engineer will accept certified weights for materials measured or proportioned by weight that are shipped by rail or truck transport, provided that only the actual weight of the material used is paid for.

For bituminous materials, net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail or truck transport shipments, unless otherwise specified, will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the Work.

In all cases where measurement of materials is based on certified weights, provide the Engineer with certified weigh bills showing the net tons of materials received in each shipment. The Engineer will not pay for materials in excess of the amounts represented by the certified weigh bills.

Certified Weigh Tickets for Asphalt Mixtures and Aggregate Materials shall list on the ticket:

1. Date

2. Time

Sheet 7 of 10

scale beam or weight indicator in full view at all times. Certified Weigher shall be the only person allowed to operate the scale or weigh recording equipment. Provide weight (haul) tickets in accordance with Department policy and as directed by the Engineer. These requirements apply to entities located both inside and outside the state of Tennessee.

Certified Weigher shall weigh each load with the maximum load not to exceed the legal limit established by law. The proposed haul route shall be known prior to deployment.

Provide a standard brand of platform truck scales with a sufficient rated capacity to weigh the maximum gross load to which they will be subjected. Do not use truck scales to measure weights in excess of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. Clearly post the manufacturer’s rated capacity on the scale manufacturer’s plate and in the shelter provided for the weigher.

At the time of installation or modification of existing scales, test the scales before using to ensure they are within the allowable tolerances. Use a qualified scale technician to perform any alteration (e.g., electrical readout) or change in the rated capacity. Document all changes or alterations made by the scale technician and furnish a copy of the documentation to the Department.

House the recording mechanism of the scale in a suitable shelter furnished with adequate light, heat, chairs, tables, and storage drawers as needed for the convenience of the weigher. In addition, keep the scale platform and scale pit free of debris that could affect the accuracy of the scales.

Provide digital readout and scale printers as the primary weight indicator or as accessory equipment. The Department will inspect and approve all scale control and recording equipment.

Ensure the scale’s accuracy within a tolerance of 0.5%. Provide a straight approach at each end of the platform scale in the same plane as the platform and of sufficient length and width to ensure the level positioning of vehicles longer than the scale platform during weight determinations. Weigh each truck and trailer with no brakes set on any wheel. Locate the scale platform so that surface water will drain away from it and to allow for an adequate foundation of concrete or other approved materials. Construct the foundation of sufficient strength and durability to withstand repeated capacity loading without affecting the accuracy of the scales.

Check the scales as often as necessary to ensure their continued accuracy. If the scales cannot be checked within the time frame set by Department policy, the Engineer may give tentative approval, based on check truckloads weighed on other scales that are approved by the Department or other State agency. The scales shall be calibrated and certified by an independent certified scale company. The calibration and certification shall be performed on a semiannual basis; January through June and July through December. Scales shall be validated on a quarterly basis to ensure their continued accuracy. Validation shall be made by a verified

100SS 100SS

Sheet 8 of 10

known weight, or other scales that are approved by the Department of other State agency. A verified known weight shall be checked for continued accuracy each time the scales are calibrated.

“E. Borrow Areas

Notify the Engineer before opening any borrow area to allow adequate time for the Engineer to take cross-section elevations and measurements of the ground surface after being stripped, and to test the borrow material before use. Obtain approval for the borrow area according to the Procedures for Providing Offsite Waste and Borrow on TDOT Construction Projects. Allow at least 14 days for testing borrow materials or other material from roadside pits proposed for construction purposes.

Borrow materials shall not contain acid producing materials. Representative samples of the proposed borrow material shall be tested for pH (EPA600/2-78-054 or ASTM D4239). Material with a pH less than 5 is considered acid producing and will not be accepted.

Unless otherwise allowed, do not place borrow material until after the roadway excavation material has been placed in the embankments. If the Contractor places more borrow than is required and thereby causes a waste of excavation, the Department will deduct the amount of such waste from the measured borrow volume. Do not excavate beyond the dimensions and elevations established.

The Contractor may remove highway fencing to obtain borrow materials. Replace the fencing removed with new fence at no cost to the Department, and assume responsibility for confining livestock, as necessary.

Excavate borrow pits to be self-draining where possible and practicable, and of a shape that can be easily cross-sectioned.

A. Applying Bituminous Material:

Have all equipment calibrated prior to starting work. The TDOT inspector shall be present during calibration to determine aggregate spread rate and distributor rates. Distributor trucks shall have proper calibration of spray equipment. Spray nozzles should be clean, properly angled, and appropriately sized for the desired application rate. Stop work if the distributor is not applying material properly, such as gaps in application or streaking.

Place a 500 ft. test strip for the bituminous seal coat at the beginning of the project to assure proper coverage and proper equipment calibration. The test section is to verify break time of emulsion and chip retention. The test strip shall be able to carry normal traffic within 3 hours. If normal traffic cannot be carried, the emulsion shall be adjusted and another test strip is required.

At least 14 working days before the scheduled start of construction of any bituminous seal coat, submit a sample of aggregate intended for use for the determination of the appropriate application rates of bituminous material and aggregate. Apply emulsified asphalt by pressure distributor at a uniform rate in accordance with Table 405.06-1 below. The exact rate will be established by the Engineer.

Table 405.06-1: Application Rates for Bituminous Material

Aggregate Size Aggregate Spread Emulsion Shot Rate (per 903.22) Rate (lb/yd2) (gal/yd2) 7 25 – 30 0.30 – 0.45 78 22 – 28 0.28 – 0.38 8 20 – 25 0.20 – 0.35 89 17 – 23 0.17 – 0.28

Before beginning each spread, place building paper across the roadway surface with the forward edge exactly coinciding with the end of the preceding covered spread. Start distributors on the paper, the width of which shall allow the full force of all nozzles to be in effect before the forward edge of the paper is reached. If required by the Engineer, also stop the spread on building paper. Remove the paper immediately after its use, and dispose of properly. Immediately correct all defects in application.

The length of spread of bituminous material shall not exceed that which trucks loaded with cover material can immediately cover.

The spread of bituminous material shall not extend more than 6 inches wider than the width covered by the cover material. Do not allow the bituminous material to chill or otherwise impair retention of the cover material.

400SS 400SS

Sheet 5 of 11 Do not allow traffic on the bituminous material until it has been covered with mineral aggregate.

Treat areas that are inaccessible to the distributor with either hand sprays or pouring pots as directed by the Engineer.

B. Application of Double Bituminous Surface Treatment:

First Application

Apply the first application of emulsified asphalt using pressure distributors at a uniform rate established by the Engineer within the range of 0.30 to 0.38 gallons per square yard. Apply each spread of bituminous material so as not to be more than 6 inches wider than the width covered by the immediate spread of cover aggregate. Each width of spread shall not be less than half the surface to be treated.

Before beginning each spread, place building paper across the roadway surface with the forward edge exactly coinciding with the end of the preceding covered spread. Start distributors on the paper, the width of which shall allow the full force of all nozzles to be in effect before the forward edge of the paper is reached. If required by the Engineer, also stop the spread on building paper. Remove the paper immediately after its use, and dispose of properly. Immediately correct all defects in application.

Treat areas that are inaccessible to the distributor with hand sprays or pouring pots as directed by the Engineer.

If treating less than the full width of the roadway, do not spread the aggregate on the inside 6 inches of either the first or second application until the adjacent lane has been treated. Immediately following each application, uniformly cover the applied bituminous material with Size No. 7 mineral aggregate that is reasonably free of surface moisture.

Spread the aggregate at a rate between 24 and 30 pounds per square yard, as established by the Engineer, using a self-propelled mechanical spreader; except on short projects of 1/2 mile in length or less, self-propelled mechanical spreading equipment will not be required. Back the truck on the aggregate being spread, without driving on or over uncovered bituminous material.

The length of bituminous material spread shall not exceed that which trucks loaded with cover material can immediately cover.

Second Application

Apply the second application of emulsified asphalt in the same manner as the first application, at a uniform rate established by the Engineer within the range of 0.20 and 0.35 gallons per square yard.

Spread mineral aggregate, Size No. 8, in the same manner as the first spread at a rate established by the Engineer within the range of 16 to 28 pounds per square yard.

Immediately after each spread of cover aggregate, broom to achieve uniform coverage. Use a power source, which is independent of the drive train that propels the equipment, to power the revolving brooms of mechanical sweeping equipment. Place additional aggregate by hand on thin or bare areas.

Sheet 6 of 11 405.07 Spreading and Rolling Aggregate

A. Spreading

Immediately after bituminous material has been applied, no more than two minutes, spread and embed the mineral aggregate cover in the bituminous material. Spread the aggregate as close to the application of bituminous material as is practicable, and cover each distributor load applied immediately. Aggregates shall be moistened and visually damp at the time of placement.

Spread the aggregate in accordance with the rates specified in Table 405.06-1. The exact rate will be established by the Engineer. Back the truck on the aggregate being spread, without driving on or over uncovered bituminous material. If treating less than the full width of roadway, do not spread the aggregate on the inside 6 inches of the bituminous spread until the adjacent lane is treated. Immediately after spreading the aggregate, perform hand-brooming to achieve uniform coverage. Place additional aggregate by hand on thin or bare areas.

The speed of the spreader shall be such that the aggregates are not rolling over, and starting and stopping of the spreader is minimized. Use of previously used (swept) aggregates is not permitted.

B. Rolling – Bituminous Seal Coat

Immediately after distributing the aggregate, roll the entire surface by moving in a longitudinal direction, beginning at the outer edges and progressing toward the center of the roadway, with each trip of the roller overlapping the previous trip by half the width of the rear wheel. Perform initial rolling with a self-propelled pneumatic tire roller, and follow with steel-wheel rolling. The amount and sequence of rolling shall be as directed by the Engineer. Complete the initial rolling of the aggregate within 1 hour after applying the bituminous material.

Use power brooms to correct irregularities by sweeping the aggregates from areas of thick or heavy distribution to areas of thin or light distribution. Then continue rolling using both steel- wheel and pneumatic rollers until the aggregate is thoroughly embedded in the bituminous material. The Engineer may require additional rolling at a later date. Redistribute excess or loose aggregate that was thrown out of place.

Slow moving traffic may use the section or roadway upon which the aggregate has been spread.

Rolling and Curing – Double Bituminous Seal Coat

Immediately after spreading and brooming the cover aggregate, roll the entire surface, beginning at the edges and progressing to the center. Begin rolling within 30 minutes after spreading the aggregate. Perform initial rolling with a self-propelled pneumatic tire roller, and follow with steel-wheel rolling. The amount and sequence of rolling shall be as directed by the Engineer.

Allow the first application of bituminous material and aggregate to cure for as long as deemed necessary by the Engineer before beginning the second application. Immediately before the second application of bituminous material, roll the surface with a steel-wheel roller.

For the second application of bituminous material and cover aggregate, repeat the same rolling and curing procedures as required for the first application.

“501.12 Placing Concrete

Either unload the concrete into an approved spreading device, or deposit it directly on the base, and mechanically spread the concrete in a manner that prevents segregation of the materials. When using central or transit mixed concrete, deposit it in an approved spreader. Place the mixture so as to minimize rehandling and relocation from point of placement. The mechanical spreader will not be required on areas too small to accommodate the paving equipment, projects that contain 10,000 square yards or less of concrete paving, and on variable width sections and ramps. Placing shall be continuous between transverse joints without the use of intermediate bulkheads. Do not place concrete on frozen grade.

Perform any necessary hand spreading with shovels or other approved tools. Do not allow workmen to walk in the freshly mixed concrete with boots or shoes coated with earth or other foreign substances.

If placing concrete adjacent to a previously constructed lane of pavement and mechanical equipment is to be operated on this existing lane of pavement, that lane shall meet the requirements for opening to traffic specified in 501.22. If the existing lane is to only carry finishing equipment, the Contractor may begin paving the adjoining lanes after 7 days.

Deposit concrete as near to expansion and contraction joints as possible without disturbing them; do not dump concrete from the discharge bucket or hopper onto a joint assembly unless the hopper is well centered on the joint assembly.

Immediately remove all concrete materials that may fall on or be worked into the surface of a completed slab using approved methods. 500SS 500SS

Sheet 4 of 6 When using the slip-form method of concrete paving, place the concrete with an approved slip-form paver meeting the requirements of 501.04.D.11.

Ensure that the sliding forms are rigidly held together laterally to prevent spreading of the forms. The forms shall trail behind the paver for such a distance that no appreciable slumping of the concrete will occur and so that necessary finishing can be accomplished while the concrete is still within the forms. Before the concrete has hardened, correct any edge slump of the pavement, exclusive of edge rounding, in excess of 1/4 inch.

Operate the slip-form paver with as nearly a continuous forward movement as possible, and coordinate all operations of mixing, delivering, and spreading of concrete so as to provide uniform progress while minimizing the stopping and starting of the paver. If, for any reason, it is necessary to stop the forward movement of the paver, also immediately stop the vibratory and tamping elements. Apply no tractive force to the machine, other than that which is controlled from the machine. Replace slabs with random cracks before completion of paving operations.

Contractor may choose to utilize a single lift or two lift paving process according to the following requirements.

A. Single Lift Pavement

Use vibrators to thoroughly consolidate the concrete against and along the faces of all forms and along the full length and on both sides of all joint assemblies. Do not allow vibrators to come in contact with a joint assembly, the grade, or a side form. Do not operate the vibrator for longer than 5 seconds in any one location.

The Contractor may only use hand-operated vibrators on projects containing 10,000 square yards or less of concrete paving and on variable width sections. Only operate vibrators mounted on a machine while the machine is in motion.

Equip the slip-form paver with vibrators meeting the applicable requirements of 501.04.D.1 to vibrate the concrete for the full width and depth of the strip of pavement being placed.

B. Two Lift Composite Pavement

When placing two lift composite pavements, the upper lift shall be of a lesser thickness as designated by contract design. It shall be placed such that the result is a wet-on-wet application. The lower lift will be one foot less in width than the upper lift.

Paving operations shall be adjusted and approved by the Engineer as necessary to assure a wet-on-wet monolithic pavement section. If the bonding between lifts or the consolidation of concrete is determined to be unsuitable by the Engineer, the lower lift shall be removed and replaced prior to the upper lift placement.

1. Lower Lift. Uniformly spread concrete with a spreader or slipform machine. Internal vibration will be required for the lower lift. Tie bars and dowel bars (with the use of dowel baskets) shall be placed in the lower lift at mid-depth of the finished concrete pavement thickness. The lower lift shall not require curing, texturing, or sawing before the upper lift is placed. The lower lift shall be struck off to provide a nominal lower lift thickness that complies with the pavement design. The upper lift shall be struck off to allow for the finished total pavement to conform to the cross section shown in the contract plans.

2. Upper Lift. Place the upper lift within 45 minutes following the placement of the lower lift. Placement of the upper lift shall be such that intermingling of the two concrete mixtures is minimal. External vibration for the upper lift will be allowed if proper consolidation and finishing can be demonstrated in accordance with 501.16. Dowel bars can be inserted during the placement of the upper 500SS 500SS

Sheet 5 of 6 lift. Cure the upper lift only in accordance with 501.18. At no time shall the total thickness be less than shown on the pavement design and the cross section shown in the contract plans.

Frequency of the vibrators shall be established based on the workability of the concrete mixture and past experiences. Electronic, internal, T-shaped, poker vibrators shall be used. Other types of vibrating equipment may be approved by the Engineer. Vibrator impulses shall be delivered directly to the concrete and the intensity of vibration shall be sufficient to consolidate the concrete thoroughly and uniformly throughout the depth and width of the lift. Increase in the speed of the vibrators will be allowed with the permission of the Engineer.

A paving plan shall be supplied to the Engineer for review and approval prior to pouring. The plan shall document procedures to ensure consistency of material properties during concrete placement and finishing, identify and eliminate potential for load misidentification, and maintain speed of production and paving. Concrete for each lift shall be produced from the same ready-mix facility.”

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

714.05 Conduit

Install conduit of the type and size specified at the locations shown on the Plans, or as directed by the Engineer. Install pull or drag wires of the type and size specified in conduit at the locations shown on the Plans.

A. Underground Conduit

1. General. Underground conduit shall consist of encased or direct burial conduit. Install conduit in a trench excavated to the dimensions and lines specified.

Before beginning any excavation, determine the location of all electrical, drainage, and utility lines in the vicinity, and perform work so as to avoid damaging these facilities. Ensure that the conduit will be located so as to avoid conflict with proposed guardrail, sign posts, and other features.

Build conduit runs in straight lines where possible. Where sweeps are necessary, use standard long sweep conduit bends when feasible, and meet the minimum radius required by the National Electric Code. Install pull boxes at intervals so that the tensile strength of the conductors will not be exceeded.

Obstructions encountered when excavating trenches for underground conduit may require minor changes, such as in locations of conduit runs and pull boxes. Obtain the Engineer’s approval before making such changes. Where possible, provide a minimum of 12 inches between the finished lines of conduit runs and utility facilities, such as gas lines, water mains, and other underground facilities not associated with the electrical system. Where the conduit run is adjacent to concrete walls, piers, footings, and similar structures, maintain a minimum of 4 inches of undisturbed earth or firmly compacted soil between the conduit and the adjacent concrete or, when the conduit is encased, between the encasement and the adjacent concrete.

Unless shown on the Plans, do not excavate trenches in existing pavement or surfaced shoulders to install conduit. If it is necessary to place a conduit under an existing pavement, install the conduit by jacking or other approved means with galvanized rigid steel conduit or schedule 80 PVC conduit.

Keep jacking and drilling pits at least 10 feet from the edge of the paved shoulder or sidewalk unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. When the Plans specifically allow excavation of a trench through an existing pavement or surfaced shoulder, restore the pavement and/or surface and base to their original condition. Do not leave boring pits open for extended periods of time.

Unless otherwise specified, cut trenches for conduit on a slight grade for drainage, and make the walls of the trench essentially vertical. Tamp the bottom of the trench as necessary to produce a firm foundation for the conduit.

Excavate trenches for rigid metallic conduit, with or without encasement, to a minimum depth of 18 inches, plus conduit diameter, measured from the finished subgrade.

Sheet and brace the trenches as required, and adequately support all pipe and other structures exposed in trenches as necessary to prevent damage. 700SS 700SS

Sheet 5 of 61 Ream metallic conduit after threads are cut. Ream other conduit as necessary. Cut all ends square and to butt solidly in the joints to form a smooth raceway for cables.

Ensure that conduit joints form a water-tight seal. Coat metallic conduit threads with pipe compound and then securely connect. Make conduit joints with the materials and in the manner recommended by the conduit manufacturer and as approved by the Engineer.

Install conduit bushings in conduit where necessary and required for protection of the conductors. When the conduit is installed for future use, ensure that the ends of metallic conduit runs are properly threaded and capped, and that the ends of non-metallic conduit runs are satisfactorily plugged or capped to prevent water or other foreign matter from entering the conduit system.

a. Encased Conduit. Place encased conduit under roadway and paved shoulders unless trenching is required for installation at the locations shown on the Plans. Unless otherwise specified, construct encasement as follows:

(1) Construct the encasement of Class A concrete meeting the requirements of 604. except that the coarse aggregate shall be size 67 or 78.

(2) Extend the encasement of conduit under roadway pavements or surfaces to the outer edges of the surfaced or paved shoulders, or 1 foot beyond the outer edge of the sidewalk, or 1 foot beyond the outer edge of the curb when no shoulder or sidewalk is indicated.

(3) Extend the conduit at least 6 inches beyond the encasement.

(4) Encase the pipe with a minimum of 3 inches of concrete.

(5) Plug the ends of the conduit temporarily to prevent the entrance of concrete or other foreign material.

(6) Do not encase any conduit with concrete until inspected and approved by the Engineer.

(7) Cure concrete encasement as specified in 604.23, except that the curing period may be reduced to 24 hours if backfilling is to proceed at the time specified in 714.05.A.2.

b. Direct Burial Conduit. When rock is encountered in the bottom of the trench, install the conduit on a bed of well compacted fine grain soil at least 4 inches thick.

2. Backfilling Conduit. Do not backfill encased conduit until the concrete encasement has cured a minimum of 24 hours. After the Engineer has inspected and approved the installation of direct burial conduit, promptly backfill to the required grade with approved material in layers not exceeding 6 inches in loose depth, and compact each layer as directed by the Engineer.

B. Conduit on Structures

Install conduits, conduit fittings, hangers, expansion fittings, and accessories on as shown on the Plans and, unless otherwise specified, in accordance with the following:

1. Run conduit parallel to beams, trusses, supports, pier caps, and similar features in the most direct manner.

2. Install horizontal runs on a slight grade, without forming low spots, to ensure proper drainage. 700SS 700SS

Sheet 6 of 61 3. Run conduits with smooth, easy bends.

4. Hold conduits in boxes with locknuts and provide bushings for protection of the conductors.

C. Testing Conduit

After completing the installation of conduit, test it with a metallic mandrel in the presence of the Engineer. Use a mandrel having a diameter 1/4 inch smaller than the conduit, and a length of 2 inches. Repair, to the Engineer’s satisfaction, all conduits that will not allow passage of the mandrel. If repairs cannot be accomplished, remove and replace the conduit at no additional cost to the Department.

After the mandrel test, scour all conduits with a stiff wire brush having a slightly larger diameter than the conduit.

Test conduits that have been installed under a previous contract with a mandrel and clean as described above before installing the cables.

714.06 Pull Boxes

Construct pull boxes in accordance with the design, dimensions, and at the locations shown on the Plans. Construct concrete pull boxes of Class A concrete meeting the requirements of 604. Place non-metallic pull boxes only in non-traffic bearing locations and not in paved areas.

Provide a cast iron frame and cover or reinforced concrete cover, as shown on the Plans, with each pull box.

Plug unused conduit entrance holes and openings for conduit to be extended by others with suitable plugs of plastic, bituminous fiber, or other approved material to prevent the entrance of foreign matter.

714.07 Underground Cable for Lighting Circuits

Underground cable for lighting circuits shall consist of direct burial cable, preassembled cable in duct, or cable in conduit, as shown on the Plans.

If it is necessary to install a cable under an existing pavement or surfaced shoulder, install conduit, when specified, in accordance with the applicable provisions of 714.05, and place the cable within the conduit.

Construct walls of trenches for cables to be essentially vertical. Unless otherwise specified, install underground cable as follows:

1. Excavate trenches for direct burial cable to a minimum depth of 24 inches plus the cable diameter as measured from finished subgrade.

2. In general, locate the trenches to avoid conflict with proposed guardrail, sign posts, and other features.

3. Protect direct burial cable, and preassembled cable in duct, in trenches by cushioning with sand or earth that passes a 1/4-inch screen. Place the cable, or preassembled cable in duct, and sand or earth in the trench so that a minimum 3-inch thickness of the cushion material will completely surround each cable. 700SS 700SS

Sheet 7 of 61 A. Direct Burial Cable

Do not unreel cables and pull into the trench from one end. Unreel the cables, lay them alongside the trench, and then lay in the trench. Allow the cables to “snake” slightly in the trench to provide adequate slack for settling of earth. Ensure that there are no crossovers of cable in the trench. Where cable is brought up into the base of the lighting standard, leave sufficient slack for making the connections inside the standard.

B. Preassembled Cable in Duct

When installing in the trench, do not pull preassembled cable in duct taut, but allow it to “snake” in the ditch to provide not less than 18 inches slack per 100 feet of trench. The minimum bending radius on the cable duct shall be 18 inches. Where the duct is brought into the base of the lighting standard or into a pull box, leave sufficient length for trimming the duct to expose enough cable to allow for the connections to be made inside the standard or pull box.

C. Cable in Conduit

Carefully pull cables in conduits into place using approved methods so that the cable will be installed without electrical or mechanical damage. Pull all cables within a single conduit at the same time. If necessary to ease the pulling, the Contractor may use a lubricant of the type recommended by the cable manufacturer. When cables are pulled through hand holes in pole shafts, place a pad of firm rubber or other suitable material between the cable and the edges of the opening to prevent cable damage.

After the cable has been installed in the conduit, seal the ends of buried conduit with approved pliable and non- hardening material to prevent the entrance of dirt, moisture, or other foreign material.

D. Splices

Splice conductors as shown on the Plans. Only make splices at accessible points, such as handholes and pull boxes, unless otherwise shown on the Plans. After making a conductor splice, insulate it with heat-shrinkable tubing, supplied by the manufacturer, with an adhesive coating on the inner wall.

E. Ground Wire

Install ground conductors of the type and size shown on the Plans, and to be continuous in trenches with direct burial cable, and continuous inside preassembled cable in duct, and in conduit. Connect the ground conductors to the ground rod at all control points, to the ground lug in pole foundations, and to all metallic conduit runs using a grounding bushing, except that the connections to conduit in pole foundations may be omitted. Make all connections as shown on the Plans.

F. Backfilling Underground Cable

Backfill cable as specified in 714.05.

G. Cable Identification

To assist in the identification of circuits at the pull boxes, mark the phase conductors with colored rubber-based, or equivalent, paint. When final connections are made, provide permanent tape wire markers to identify the branch circuit conductors (X1A, X1B, etc.), neutral (X1N, etc.), and the ground (g). 700SS 700SS

CSXT operates more Businesses and than 1,200 trains daily, over 21,000 miles of track, helping North America maintain the strongest and most productive Government Agencies transportation system in the world.

In addition to CSXT’s vitally important customer service We Serve: responsibilities, the company wants to be a good neighbor in the communities where we operate. That is why we have prepared this information. We want to make it easier for communities and other project sponsors to work with us when they have construction and improvement projects that may involve CSXT rail property.

CSXT’s Public Projects team is involved in a wide variety of projects initiated by government agencies, local businesses and others. Accurate and timely communication of information between CSXT and these parties improves planning, relationships and successful completion of projects. The tools in this manual explain important steps project sponsors must follow, including information required in connection with any public project proposal.

CSXT places the highest priority on safety – for its employees and for the public. Because CSXT is a business and its shareholders ultimately own its rail system, the company must also give careful consideration to anything that could adversely affect customer service, compensation for use of railroad property, and risk to railroad operation.

The Project Managers – Public Projects are the initial contact for CSXT and are assigned territories by state. Please contact them directly about public projects using the information provided. General Engineering Consultants (GEC) provide additional engineering services to assist CSXT in managing public projects.

CSXT hopes the information and procedures provided here will make it easier for us to work together.

CSX Corporation PAGE 7 Revised July 2017 Requirements for Preliminary Engineering Review

Key Points n Starting CSXT Preliminary Engineering (PE) early by providing conceptual plans lowers project costs and shortens the time required for CSXT review and approval n Using standard agreements lowers costs and saves time n If the proposal requires easement CSXT Property Right, the project sponsor should provide the proper submittals to the GEC when beginning PE. n If the proposal requires a utility encroachment, the project sponsor should contact CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) when beginning PE. n PE typically costs $8,000 to $25,000 n CSXT PE Review will not begin until the PE Agreement is fully executed and PE funds are received.

Overview Any project proposals that may affect or be near the CSXT right-of-way must be evaluated by CSXT. To initiate a construction or improvement project, a PE agreement is required to identify the project sponsor, the scope, define the tasks to be accomplished, and specify the payment required. Once the plans for the project are approved by CSXT, a construction agreement will be developed.

Purpose The purpose of the PE is to identify issues related to safety, engineering, customer service, operations, legal and regulatory matters, expense, risk and other considerations specific to any proposed project. CSXT review of plans is only to determine that the plans, and improvements constructed in accordance with the plans, satisfy CSXT’s requirements. Plans should be submitted early in project development to ensure that CSXT requirements can be incorporated.

Process Steps To Be Taken n Notify CSXT Public Projects Group of the project by providing location information and conceptual plans. n Provide CSXT authorization to incur preliminary engineering costs. n Review and complete a standard PE agreement and provide payment for expenses as specified in the agreement. n Provide project information; attend meetings (as needed), review site with CSXT or GEC personnel. n Submit initial plans to CSXT or designated GEC for review. n Respond to CSXT or designated GEC comments and adjust design if necessary. n Submit final design for CSXT or designated GEC review. n CSXT will perform final review to ensure compliance with railroad requirements. n CSXT will estimate the cost of the work to be done by CSXT, including flagging. n If CSXT takes no exceptions to the design plans (or once all CSXT concerns have been addressed), CSXT will prepare a standard construction agreement for execution.

Costs and Expenses These matters are covered in more detail in the section that follows (“Payment of CSXT’s Costs and Expenses”). For the reasons described in that section, CSXT requires advance payment for its costs and expenses of reviewing and handling the PE. All expenses of the party seeking the review will be borne by that party, including expenses for CSXT employees or GEC personnel attending meetings, reviewing plans, preparing correspondence and other activities to support the review of the project.

Timing It is in the interest of all parties to complete the PE review before commitments are made or construction steps begin. CSXT will work to be responsive, with timing depending upon the complexity of the project. CSXT and its GEC will work with the project sponsor to schedule PE and construction to meet project schedule objectives whenever possible, considering available resources.

CSX Corporation PAGE 8 Revised July 2017 Requirements for Preliminary Engineering Review

Property Rights - Construction and improvement projects involving CSXT property will require a conveyance of property rights, FOR EXAMPLE: n Highway-Rail Grade Crossings n Bridges Over CSX n Parallel Roads/Facilities n Road/Bridge Widening Projects

Use these instructions as a guide to the real estate review process for property right conveyances.

- Simple Steps for Submission 1.Submit the following items to the GEC assigned to your location*: n Plan sheet calling out the easements areas and easement types (temporary, perpetual, aerial, etc.); n Metes and bounds description for each easement area; n Formal offer (include appraisal report if available); n Cover letter with project scope.

*Any missing information will result in a delay in processing

2. GEC forwards the submission to CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) 3. Receive Receipt Confirmation Email from REFM 4. REFM Review: Location, Title, Appraisal 5. Deed Preparation 6. Closing - upon receipt of fully-executed construction agreement

Standard Documents and Estimates CSXT executes hundreds of agreements each year for preliminary engineering and construction of projects. CSXT has developed standard agreements which can be executed by CSXT without additional legal review. Non-standard agreements or modifications to the CSXT standard agreement terms will require additional legal review and may increase project duration and/or cost. Sample standard agreement documents are available in the Appendix. CSXT will begin each project with a PE estimate and PE agreement. After execution of the PE agreement and receipt of the PE deposit, CSXT will complete the PE phase of the project. At the end of the PE phase, CSXT will provide the project sponsor a construction estimate for all required CSXT costs during the construction phase of the project. CSXT provided estimates are valid for one year from date of approval noted on the estimate form.

CSX Corporation PAGE 9 Revised July 2017 Payment of CSXT’s Costs and Expenses

Key Points and Procedures n Preliminary Engineering (PE) costs are paid in advance. n CSXT construction expenses will be estimated during PE and the estimate will be incorporated into the construction agreement. Advance payment is required to cover these expenses prior to the start of project construction. n If CSXT anticipates that actual expenses will exceed the advance payment, additional payment will be required. Project work may be stopped until additional payment is received. n If CSXT’s actual expenses are less than the sum of any deposits the difference will be refunded after final cost accounting. n All funding sources must be identified up front, and any time funding sources change, CSXT must be immediately informed. CSXT requires the completion of a “New Project Funding Form” at the beginning of each project. By completion of this form, the project sponsor agrees to reimburse CSXT for project related costs. Each time project funding changes, a new “New Project Funding Form” must be completed.

Overview The types of projects being addressed in this manual usually do not directly benefit and, in some cases, create risk to, and hurdles for, CSXT’s core business of providing transportation service vital to its customers and the American economy. For these reasons, CSXT seeks payment for its costs and expenses incurred in connection with project review or construction.

Examples of Costs and Expenses Agency shall reimburse CSXT for all costs and expenses incurred by CSXT in connection with the Project, including, without limitation: n All out of pocket expenses n Travel and lodging expenses n Telephone, facsimile, and mailing expenses n Costs for equipment, tools, materials and supplies n Sums paid to CSXT’s consultants and subcontractors n CSXT labor in connection with the Project (included but not limited to flagging), together with CSXT labor overhead percentages established by CSXT pursuant to applicable law n For estimating purposes only, typical flagging costs are $1,300 per day.

Insurance Requirements Document updated June 2017

CSX Corporation PAGE 12 Revised July 2017 Entry onto CSXT Property

Key Points Written permission is required for all parties entering CSXT property. n Construction Agreements authorize entry onto CSXT property. n Temporary right-of-entry agreements can also be used for limited purposes. n CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) handles temporary rights of entry for non-construction activities. n CSXT Public Projects handles temporary rights of entry for construction activities. n All parties must adhere to CSXT Safety procedures. n Appropriate insurance is required.

Overview To maintain efficient customer service and to ensure the safety of CSX employees and of those parties requesting access to CSXT property, CSXT requires all parties accessing its right-of-way for investigative activities or for the performance of construction work to have a written agreement with CSXT fully detailing each party’s responsibilities. Activities by others with the potential to affect CSXT’s property, operations, and or personnel without actually entering CSXT property must also be reviewed with CSXT and appropriate arrangements and agreements completed.

The process by which an appropriate agreement covering entry and/or the other necessary conditions or requirements can be developed and implemented is typically dependent upon the scope of the activities proposed by an outside party or agency. Although the type of agreement may vary, most agreements include insurance and liability provisions, work procedures and conditions and reimbursement provisions relating to payment to CSXT for costs it may incur in relation to the entry or work. The following summarizes the various types of CSXT agreements and contracts most frequently utilized to accommodate the requested entry and the proposed work activities.

Entry for Construction Work via CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) Entry for construction work (not exclusively associated with utility work) will require a Construction Agreement or a Temporary Right-of-Entry Agreement, as determined by the magnitude of potential impacts to CSXT.

A Construction Agreement will be required for construction work that could impact CSXT facilities or operation, such as construction or rehabilitation of a bridge over CSXT, roadway construction or other highway improvements, or grading and/or drainage work.

Construction work that will not impact CSXT facilities or operation may be handled by a Temporary Right-of-Entry Agreement, as determined by CSXT Public Projects.

Entry for Non-Construction Work via CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) A Temporary Right-of-Entry agreement is utilized by CSXT primarily in situations where outside parties or agencies desire to undertake investigative work such as performing survey work, taking borings, performing bridge inspections or undertaking other activities requiring only access to CSXT property and not construction work activities. Different agreements are used for temporary private crossings.

Applications for Temporary Right-of-Entry agreements for investigative and non-construction work activities (including movement of off-highway or oversized loads at grade crossings) within CSXT’s right-of-way can be obtained by contacting CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) at www.csx.com. Click on “Community – Property and Projects,” and then click on “Learn more” under “Utility installations and Rights of Entry.”

Entry For Other Purposes via CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) CSXT may use other forms of agreements covering entry by outside parties or agencies depending on work scope or other factors. The process to obtain right of entry for these purposes as listed below may also be initiated through CSX Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) at https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/value-added-services/property-real-estate/ permitting-utility-installations-and-rights-of-entry/ n Environmental Right-of-Entry n Utility Permit/License Agreement for pipeline and wire line construction – both for specifications and applications n Land Lease applications n Movement of oversized loads across CSXT tracks at private or public highway-rail grade crossings n Movement of off highway construction equipment across CSXT tracks at private or public highway-rail grade crossings CSX Corporation PAGE 13 Revised July 2017 Construction Monitoring Requirements Key Points n Construction work affecting CSXT will be monitored by CSXT and its consultants at the project sponsor’s expense. n Construction monitoring is in addition to flagging and other protective services.

Overview To ensure the safety of the public and CSXT employees, maintain quality rail service to CSXT customers and to protect CSXT assets, CSXT may require construction monitoring (in addition to flagging protection) of the project. The construction monitoring will be conducted by CSXT and its consultants at project expense.

General Guidelines Construction monitoring includes intermittent or continuous on-site presence of CSXT or its consultants during construction activities.

n The construction project sponsor, owner, or agency in charge will pay for the cost of construction monitoring. Construction monitoring will be specified, and the estimated cost will be included in the construction agreement for the project. n Construction monitoring is in addition to railroad-approved flagging. n Construction monitoring includes CSXT review and approval of all plan changes and required contractor submissions during the construction phase of the project. n The project sponsor is responsible for its safety and the safety of its property, contractors, and employees. CSXT, as part of its construction monitoring, will review the work site for activities that could interfere with safe operation of the railroad. n CSXT and its consultants are not responsible for monitoring the general work activities under the direction of the project sponsor for compliance with safety regulation. Any observed unsafe acts or conditions will be reported immediately to the project sponsor or contractor representative.

CSX Corporation PAGE 14 Revised July 2017 Railroad Flagging for Activities On or Near CSXT Property and Tracks Key Points n Flagging services are required when projects are within close proximity to active rail lines, as required by federal law. n Flagging services can only be performed by personnel qualified by CSXT. n Arrangements for flagging services may take up to 90 days to schedule.

Overview In the interest of public safety and the safety of employees and property, CSXT will work cooperatively with agencies, consultants, contractors and others who need to access railroad property when work brings them in close proximity to active railroad tracks to determine the appropriate flagging services needed and to make arrangements for those services.

Conditions When CSXT Flagging Services Are Required: n When any entity is working on, near or adjacent to active railroad tracks. n When an outside party is using railroad property or performing operations that may affect railroad property or facilities. This includes occasions when a party has been given express permission from CSXT to enter railroad property or perform such operations under the terms of a Construction agreement, Temporary Right-of-Entry agreement or other appropriate documentation. n When work off railroad property has the potential to impact CSXT property or operations. n When off-highway construction equipment is crossing the railroad at a private or public crossing. n When oversized equipment or highway vehicles are to cross the railroad at a private or public crossing. n In other instances as determined by CSXT.

Qualified Flagging Personnel CSXT flagging services may only be performed by personnel qualified by CSXT who are trained in the proper procedures related to rail operations and safety requirements, familiar with rail operations and procedures in a project area and able to communicate directly with CSXT dispatching personnel and train crews.

Arrangements for CSXT Flagging Services n CSXT will make arrangements for flagging services related to planned work by an outside party under the terms of a temporary right-of-entry agreement, construction agreement, environmental license agreement or other mutually acceptable arrangements. n Advance notice must be provided to secure CSXT flagging services. The level of advance notice may vary from site to site or project to project or if CSXT determines, under the provisions of its labor agreements with its union forces, that flagging services can only be provided as a result of the flagging position being bid and awarded to qualified CSXT personnel. n Advance notice must be provided to cancel CSXT flagging services. If advance notice to cancel is not provided, the project sponsor will be responsible for paying for the flagging until CSXT is notified. Requests to cancel or end flagging should be given at least 3 days in advance.

Responsibility for Costs and Expenses n All costs and expenses associated with CSXT flagging services are the sole responsibility of the agency, consultant or contractor. n CSXT will provide its estimated costs prior to the start of the project work or its assignment of flagging personnel. n Once flagging personnel are formally assigned by CSXT to a specific work location, the period of assignment can only be changed with appropriate advanced arrangements. n Charges for providing flagging services beyond a normal eight-hour weekday are calculated and billed at an overtime rate. n For initial planning purposes, typical flagging cost is $1,300 per day.

CSX Corporation PAGE 15 Revised July 2017 Examples of Flagging Costs and Expenses

Charges billed by CSXT to the agency, consultant or contractor may include, but are not limited to: n Employee Salary n Hourly employee charges are based on the time an employee departs and returns to his or her headquarters location. As such, the charges can be expected to exceed the level actually incurred during the assigned coverage period or while the flagman is present at the specific work location. n This period also includes the time required for flagging personnel to perform the required preparations and termination procedures associated with flagging services at a location. n Overhead Costs n These charges are assessed against the hourly employee charges and determined in accordance with standard accounting procedures or as mandated by State and/or Federal regulations. n Employee Expenses or Per Diem Rate n This amount is calculated based on an employee’s actual expenses or on a per diem rate according to the terms of applicable collective bargaining agreements between CSXT and its assigned union flagging employees. n The amount includes travel and lodging expenses and the cost for a leased, rented, CSXT, or personal vehicle to be used for transportation. n Administrative, Accounting, and Billing Services n This amount is related to the time associated with setting up the agreement, arranging for and supervising the employee, billing and collection of costs, and other expenses associated with CSXT providing flagging services. n Contracted Construction Inspection Services n CSXT may elect to use a contracted construction inspector in lieu of, or in addition to, a CSXT employee flagman.

CSX Corporation PAGE 16 Revised July 2017 Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Surface Maintenance and Replacement Key Points n Report issues with crossing surfaces to TellCSX ([email protected]) n Coordination is required for work near crossings. n Highways must be closed to vehicular traffic for crossing replacement or maintenance work. n Agreements with CSXT are required for crossing work and work near crossings. n Crossing surface maintenance and replacement must be performed by CSXT. n Crossing surfaces must meet criteria set by CSXT’s Engineering Standards. For identification purposes, each crossing has a distinct DOT inventory number (such as 123456A) posted at the crossing and the railroad milepost.

Overview The crossing surface provides a path for highway vehicles to cross railroad tracks. The objective is to provide a safe, smooth, and cost effective crossing for highway and railroad traffic. Highway and railroad maintenance work in the vicinity of highway- rail grade crossings must consider safety concerns for both highway and railroad traffic before, during, and after the time the work is implemented.

Identification of the crossing and location Each crossing has a unique DOT inventory identification number posted at the crossing. There is often more than one crossing on the same road. The crossing number (such as 123456A) must be used to identify the specific crossing in all communications with the railroad to reduce possible confusion about the specific location.

Crossing Construction Railroad track is continuous through the crossing and includes railroad ties, rail and fasteners below the surface of the crossing. The crossing surface for highway traffic can be made of several different materials. Drainage is required for all four quadrants at a crossing.

Crossing Surface Types and Selection Crossing surface material and construction methods are selected for each crossing based on the type of highway and railroad traffic, past experience and funding available from highway agencies for individual projects.

Standard types of CSXT approved crossing surfaces are Concrete or Timber/Asphalt. Projects funded by outside parties may be constructed with other materials if specified by the outside party and approved by CSXT. Modular Platform “Tub” type crossings may be considered for use at locations with slow rail operations of 15 MPH or less and high road vehicle count and/or heavy vehicles.

Crossing Maintenance and Replacement Crossing maintenance and replacement of the track and crossing surface are performed by CSXT and may be billable to an outside party or highway authority as specified in an agreement. The responsibility for the maintenance of public crossing approach pavement varies by state and is specified in some individual crossing agreements or orders.

Crossing work requires closing the entire highway-rail grade crossing. Replacement of track components through a crossing requires removal of the crossing surface, replacement of track ballast, and surfacing the track through the crossing prior to replacement of the crossing surface. If the subgrade needs to be improved, the application of a hot mixed asphalt underlayment should be considered. Drainage will be reestablished for all four quadrants. After the crossing surface is replaced, the highway approach paving is completed and then the road is opened to highway traffic. Replacement of the track and crossing surface usually requires that the highway be closed for several days.

Crossing surfaces are also removed and replaced when track maintenance work is performed through a crossing such as rail replacement, tie replacement, and track surfacing (smoothing). Each crossing has the surface removed and replaced after the work has been completed. Crossings are usually closed for several days during this maintenance work.

Requesting Crossing Surface Replacement or Upgrades Highway agencies seeking replacement of crossing surfaces should contact CSXT Public Projects. The request for the work and the recommended surface must be reviewed and approved by CSXT. If approved, Public Projects will prepare a standard agreement and include the cost estimate for the project.

CSX Corporation PAGE 17 Revised July 2017 Alterations to Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning Devices Key Points n Any alterations to highway-rail grade crossing warning systems must adhere to all applicable laws, regulations and national standards. n Requests to CSXT for new or modified public at-grade crossing warning devices must be initiated by the highway agency. n Preliminary Engineering agreements are used to define the project scope and prepare design and estimate information for each project. n The requesting project sponsor will be responsible for advance payment for engineering, design and installation of warning devices. n The coordination of traffic intersection signals with warning devices will be determined by the highway agency or regulatory agency. n Construction agreements are used to implement the projects.

Overview The Public Projects Group will process all projects proposing alterations to public highway-rail grade crossing warning systems. Included will be projects for opening new crossings, closing existing crossings, modifying or widening of existing crossings, installing new warning systems, removing and/or relocating existing warning systems and modifying/upgrading existing warning systems.

Identification of the crossing and location Each crossing has a unique DOT inventory identification number posted at the crossing. There is often more than one crossing on the same road. The number (such as 123456A) must be used to identify the specific crossing in all communications with the railroad to reduce possible confusion about the specific location.

Design Considerations Highway-rail grade crossing warning systems must adhere to all applicable Federal and State standards and regulations, and local policies, laws and ordinances, as well as CSXT standards. The highway agency, not CSXT, is responsible for determining the level and configuration of warning devices for a public highway-rail grade crossing. In addition, the highway agency or other governmental agency responsible for making warning system and equipment determinations is responsible for selecting appropriate vehicular traffic control signs and/or devices for a specific public highway. Loop Detection Circuitry will not be designed, installed, owned, or maintained by CSXT.

Recommended practices and additional information are available in American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) manuals and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Engineering, Cost Estimation, Installation CSXT will provide engineering, design, and cost estimates for the installation of highway-rail grade crossing warning devices at the expense of the project sponsor as part of the Preliminary Engineering for a project. Changes to highway-rail grade crossing surfaces may also require engineering and estimating by CSXT. Because of labor agreements with CSXT’s union forces, CSXT will install the highway-rail grade crossing warning devices.

Operation of Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Warning Devices Highway-rail grade crossing warning systems are designed to activate in advance of a train entering the crossing. Train speed changes while approaching the crossing may cause the warning system to activate longer than expected. Trains stopping or making forward and reverse movements near the crossing may cause the warning system to activate and then clear after an appropriate time without a train entering the crossing.

Traffic Light Preemption Interconnection The highway agency will determine if preemption is required. Preemption of the cycle of traffic signals at highway intersections near highway-rail grade crossings requires careful review by highway traffic engineers to determine the appropriate timing and sequence for both the traffic signal and the highway-rail grade crossing warning system. Preemption for the traffic signal may be simultaneous with, or in advance of, the warning system activation. The appropriate sequence and timing shall be provided by the highway agency and distributed to CSXT to facilitate CSXT’s signal design. CSXT will furnish one preemption interconnection circuit of a normally closed contact that is designed to open upon the approach or presence of a train and will terminate the closed preemption interconnection circuit in a common cable junction box to be used for the interconnection of the traffic signals and the grade crossing warning devices.

CSX Corporation PAGE 18 Revised July 2017 Overhead and Undergrade Bridge Projects Key Points n Overhead and undergrade bridge projects must comply with CSXT’s policies and standards, which are available in the appendices of this manual. n All work on overhead and undergrade bridges must be reviewed and approved by CSXT. n CSXT should be involved early in the project development phases to allow required bridge standards to be incorporated into the design of the project. n A preliminary engineering agreement and construction agreement will be required. n CSXT property and operations (including train speeds) shall not be negatively impacted by the project. n No temporary reduced clearances will be permitted. n CSXT requires that new overhead bridges (including existing bridge replacements) span CSXT’s right-of-way and have a minimum 23’ vertical clearance above top of rail. n All new undergrade bridges must have a ballast deck. n MSE walls are prohibited on CSXT property. n Vehicular Clearance signage for clearance under CSXT bridges is the responsibility of the road authority, not CSXT.

Overview Given the efficiencies and environmental benefits of moving goods by rail, CSXT continues to see strong demand for rail services across its network. It is critical that CSXT maintain the ability to expand its network in the future.

CSXT requires that new overhead bridges (including existing bridge replacements) span CSXT’s right-of-way and have a minimum 23’ vertical clearance above top of rail. CSXT requires that new undergrade bridges provide accommodations for future operating needs, as determined by CSXT.

During project construction, rail operations must not be impeded. Temporary run-around track(s) and/or phased construction may be necessary as determined by CSXT.

General Guidelines n All bridge projects over or under CSXT shall be governed by the appropriate criteria found in the appendices. This includes but is not limited to replacements, new construction, substructure modifications and/or repairs, superstructure replacement or repair, and deck replacement or overlay. n Temporary and final drainage plans must be approved by CSXT. n CSXT’s access to its property must be maintained. n Plans must show all tracks and horizontal and vertical track clearances for both the existing conditions and the proposed project. n Bridge demolition criteria are found in the Overhead Bridge Criteria in the appendices of this manual. n Upon completion of construction, a full set of as-built drawings, showing actual measured vertical and horizontal clearances, shall be furnished to CSXT.

CSX Corporation PAGE 19 Revised July 2017

Parallel Road Construction

Key Points n Proposed parallel public roads shall be located off CSXT property. n Safety at existing highway-rail grade crossings must be considered and not adversely impacted. n No additional drainage may be directed onto railroad property. n CSXT’s access to its property must not be impeded. n Construction may result in the need for alterations to crossing warning systems or facilities.

Overview In the interest of public safety, parallel public roads shall be located off CSXT property. Parallel roads involving intersections with existing or proposed highways where public or private crossings are present should be aligned to provide sufficient distance from the crossing for the largest vehicle (design vehicle) permitted to use the road to stop between the railroad and the parallel road traffic control signs, markings, and warning devices without interfering with railroad operations, obstructing or preventing the operation of traffic control devices or obstructing the crossing in any manner.

General Guidelines The design of highways, highway intersection, and configuration of highway-rail grade crossings is the responsibility of the highway agency. Drainage for highway runoff, the railroad corridor, and adjacent property must be designed to reduce or maintain existing railroad drainage and to prevent standing water and potential erosion. Access for CSXT equipment to the railroad property, structures, and track cannot be restricted or prevented.

Federal and State design manuals, the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and additional recommended practices available in American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association manuals (AREMA) provide design information to be considered by the highway agency responsible for the project engineering. The table of contents of this document has additional information on the MUTCD and AREMA manuals and information.

CSX Corporation PAGE 20 Revised July 2017 Painting and Cleaning CSXT Bridges to Improve Appearance

Key Points n CSXT understands the desire of communities to improve the appearance of bridges and other structures. Safety of CSXT employees, the general public and neighbors restrict some alternatives for bridge appearance improvement. n CSXT may permit others to paint CSXT bridges if labor agreement, technical and responsibility requirements are resolved. n Any surface preparation methods must follow all applicable environmental guidelines and must be approved in advance by CSXT. n CSXT will not accept proposals to attach signage to CSXT bridges. n A written request should be submitted to CSXT’s Public Projects Group to initiate consideration of such projects.

Overview Requests are occasionally made by outside parties for various beautification projects, including painting of overhead and undergrade bridges. These requests are considered on a case-by-case basis by CSXT. The cost of painting and future aesthetic maintenance will be the responsibility of the project sponsor proposing to paint the CSXT bridge. CSXT will make every effort to cooperate, consistent with maintaining the safety of the public and the safe operation of the railroad.

Consideration of Bridge Painting Projects Bridge painting proposals must be reviewed and approved by CSXT to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations, CSXT specifications, and to ensure that the proposal will not impact CSXT’s property or operations.

n CSXT will require an agreement for all bridge painting proposals. n A public agency must be a party to the agreement. n CSXT will incur no costs or liabilities as a result of the project. n The public agency or its designee will be responsible for maintenance of the painted surfaces, including aesthetic damage caused by highway vehicles and vandalism. n A railroad flagman will be required at the project expense.

Materials must not be stored on CSXT property. n Control of paint overspray and vapors during application. The work must be done complying with appropriate regulations and over spray controlled to prevent damage to adjacent property and vehicles in the area. n Containment system, clean up and disposal of all paint and other material removed from the bridge. The clean-up and disposal of material from the surface preparation for painting and actual painting must comply with all appropriate regulations. n Pictures and conceptual drawing should be submitted with the initial request from the community to simplify the initial review and comment by CSXT. n Work site safety plan including keeping all personnel away from the tracks and fall protection measures where required. n Additional specifications are included in the Appendix titled “Aesthetic Bridge Paint Specifications.” Important environmental information is included in the Appendix titled “Soil and Water Management Policy.”

CSX Corporation PAGE 21 Revised July 2017 Cleaning and Painting of Bridges over CSXT

Key Points n CSXT understands that maintenance of bridges over CSXT may include cleaning and painting. The safety of CSXT employees, the general public, and the project sponsor’s contractors is of paramount importance to CSXT. n A written request should be submitted to CSXT’s Public Projects Group to initiate this type of project. The request will be reviewed for safety considerations and compliance with CSXT engineering and environmental standards. n An agreement is required to accommodate engineering, review of plans, flagging, right-of-entry, and payment of CSXT incurred costs.

Overview All work over CSXT has the potential to impact CSXT property and rail operations. CSXT will review bridge painting and cleaning projects to ensure environmental and engineering standards are met. This review, flagging protection and construction monitoring costs will be paid by the project sponsor.

Requirements for Initiating and Implementing Bridge Cleaning and Painting A Preliminary Engineering agreement is required to cover CSXT’s review of the project and preparation of a cost estimate and construction agreement.

To ensure safety, a railroad employee flagman must be present to control railroad operations in the area during the planned work.

A written request by the party wishing to undertake such projects should be forwarded to CSXT’s Public Projects Group for handling. The request should include information about the location and the project objectives to assist CSXT with completion of the review. The following information should be included:

n The project sponsor and appropriate public agency that will execute appropriate agreements for implementation as well as future maintenance of the painted surfaces. n Qualifications and experience of the painting contractor. CSXT will accept state qualified bridge painting contractors working for the responsible agency or company. n Containment system, clean up and disposal of all paint and other material removed from the bridge. The clean-up and disposal of material from the surface preparation for painting and actual painting must comply with all appropriate regulations. n The materials removed during the surface preparation must not impact the surrounding area including ground, water, or air. Materials must not be stored on CSXT property. n Control of paint overspray and vapors during application. The work must be done complying with appropriate regulations and over spray controlled to prevent damage to adjacent property and vehicles in the area. n Pictures and conceptual drawing should be submitted with the initial request from the community to simplify the initial review and comment by CSXT. n Work site safety plan including keeping all personnel away from the tracks and fall protection measures where required. n Important environmental information is included in the Appendix titled “Soil and Water Management Policy.”

CSX Corporation PAGE 22 Revised July 2017 Public Road Crossing Openings and Closures

Key Points n Both federal and state government policies discourage the creation of new highway-rail grade crossings. To enhance highway-rail grade crossing safety, CSXT endorses the United States Department of Transportation’s goal of reducing the number of at-grade crossings through consolidation, elimination, grade separation and restriction of the number of new crossings installed. n Grade separated structures are the best alternative to add new roads or additional highway capacity. n CSXT and state and federal agencies have worked with many communities to develop and implement projects that improve highway traffic flow without the creation of new highway-rail grade crossings. n CSXT, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and state agencies encourage communities to consider all alternatives before planning to create new grade crossings and encourage closure of existing grade crossings where possible. n CSXT may provide incentive payments for crossing closures. n To comply with and in support of the federal initiative to reduce crossings, CSXT requires the community to identify three comparable active grade crossings to be closed for each new grade crossing. n New crossings, if approved, shall be maintained at the appropriate agency’s expense.

Overview CSXT understands the importance of highway-rail grade crossings and their relevance to such priorities as economic development, emergency vehicle access and other growth opportunities in the communities through which we operate. Because of the safety concerns associated with highway-rail grade crossings, however, every effort must be made to obtain alternative access or additional capacity using grade separations, or by other roads leading to existing crossings.

Crossing Closure Incentive Program Eliminating crossings is a goal of CSXT, states and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Likewise, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing Handbook acknowledges that the first alternative that should always be considered for a highway-rail at-grade crossing is elimination. Elimination of a crossing provides the highest level of crossing safety because the point of intersection between highway and railroad is removed. Closing adjacent crossings simplifies the design, installation and operation of highway-rail grade crossing warning systems. To help ensure the success of this effort, CSXT may provide incentive payments for the closure of public crossings.

Considerations for Crossing Openings and Closures The addition of any grade crossing brings the potential for incidents involving trains and motor vehicles. For this reason, both federal and state government policies discourage the creation of new grade crossings. CSXT, other railroads, the United States Department of Transportation and most states encourage communities to carefully consider all alternatives, including grade separations (crossings that go over or under railroad tracks), as opposed to the creation of new at-grade crossings. The cost of a grade separation should not outweigh the enhanced safety it would provide for motorists.

CSXT, the FRA and other railroads actively participate in programs such as Operation Lifesaver, an initiative dedicated to educating the public on the importance of practicing safe driving procedures at grade crossings. For more information about crossing safety, visit: http://www.beyondourrails.org/safety

Before agreeing to the establishment of a new crossing, CSXT expects communities to engage in a study with the purpose of identifying existing redundant public crossings for closure. To comply with and in support of the federal initiative to reduce grade crossings, CSXT requires that the community identify the closure of three or more comparable active public at-grade crossings.

As discussed above, the appropriate public authority will be expected to reimburse CSXT for its cost of design, installation and future maintenance of the crossing.

Policies and Procedures to Guide New Crossing Requests: The project sponsor requesting a new crossing or seeking to convert a private crossing to a public crossing will be asked to prepare a written request, presenting the following information:

CSX Corporation PAGE 23 Revised July 2017 1. A description of the proposed highway project, including proposed passive or active traffic control devices, and the need for preemption and/or interconnection with traffic signals, together with a scale drawing or sketch of the proposed highway and vicinity.

2. Expected Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and proposed vehicular speed limit, photographs, aerial map.

3. A detailed explanation of the necessity of the crossing.

4. Identify at-grade crossings to be closed. Include their vehicular speed limit, AADT, and traffic type.

5. The determination by the highway or regulatory authority of the need for passive or active traffic control devices and other safety treatments (i.e., signage, roadway medians, etc.), as selected by the highway authority consistent with applicable federal and state MUTCD guidelines and requirements.

6. A plan to satisfy any appropriate regulatory authority’s requirements, procedures and approval. The project sponsor should coordinate with all applicable agencies (state, county, city, etc.) to ensure proper procedures are followed.

7. Provide CSXT authorization to incur costs for its Preliminary Engineering to review the crossing request (whether or not is approved), design and construction expenses, and for the ongoing maintenance of the crossing surface and related grade crossing warning devices.

CSXT will review the request for a new crossing and inform the project sponsor whether or not the new crossing is approved. CSXT may deny a new crossing request due to safety or operational concerns.

CSX Corporation PAGE 24 Revised July 2017 Bicycle/Pedestrian Pathways and Multi-Use Trails Key Points n Private or public parallel bicycle/pedestrian pathways and trails are not permitted on CSXT property. n CSXT prefers grade separated bicycle/pedestrian pathways and multi-use trails. n Bicycle/pedestrian pathways and trails cannot cross tracks at grade outside of existing highway easements. n Pedestrian safety is enhanced when pathways and sidewalks are designed such that they cross the tracks at as close to a right angle as practical. n The highway agency’s design must include additional safety measures for at-grade pathways and trails within existing highway easements. These measures should include detectable warnings. Pathways and trails greater than 5’ in width require either physical requirements or traffic control devices. n CSXT will oppose condemnation proceedings aimed at recreational use of trackside property. n New crossings, if approved, shall be maintained at the appropriate agency’s expense.

Overview CSXT recognizes that communities often wish to establish recreational pathways and trails in the proximity of active railroad lines. While CSXT will work with communities to accommodate such requests, it is critical for project sponsors to recognize that CSXT requirements must be met and safety precautions taken to protect the public and CSXT employees. In addition, certain requests, such as pathway crossings at grade outside of existing highway easements, will not be permitted.

CSXT Policy on Pathways and Trails Parallel to CSXT Property At CSXT safety is paramount. CSXT’s policy is not to permit private or public parallel bicycle/pedestrian paths that come within the railroad’s right-of-way. CSXT will insist upon safety measures such as fencing and signage where such pathways or parks are established parallel to the railroad’s right-of-way. The cost of installing, inspection and future maintenance are the responsibility of the trail sponsor or agency. CSXT will oppose any attempt to establish recreational usage of CSXT property through condemnation. Regardless of construction of pathways and trails, CSXT reserves the right to use CSXT right of way for operational necessities.

Pathways and Trails Crossing CSXT Tracks and Right-of-Way Bicycle/pedestrian pathways and trails cannot cross tracks at grade outside of existing highway easements. Grade separated pathway and trail crossings are preferred in all cases, and required when outside of an existing highway easement. Pathways and trails under existing railroad structures are discouraged and will only be allowed under special circumstances. Pathways and trails under existing railroad structures will require a canopy. The canopy shall allow CSXT to inspect, maintain, or repair its structure and shall not be attached to the CSXT structure. Please refer to the Trail Construction Under CSXT Bridges, for additional information (located in appendices to this document). Pathways and trails over and under the railroad track shall have protective fencing.

Bicycle/pedestrian pathways and trails crossing at-grade within a highway easement must have appropriate signs and warning systems as determined by the responsible highway and/or regulatory agency. When designing new sidewalk grade crossings, placing the sidewalk outside of the area occupied by grade crossing traffic control devices for vehicular traffic is important. This includes making sure that the counterweights and support arms for the automatic gates for vehicular traffic do not obstruct the sidewalk when the gate is fully lowered.

All expenses associated with the design, installation and maintenance of the pathway/trail, including the costs of signs, crossing surfaces and warning systems associated with an at-grade crossing, will be paid by the project sponsor.

Chapter 8 Section D of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides design information to be considered by the highway agency responsible for the project engineering. The table of contents of this document has additional information on the MUTCD manual.

CSXT prosecutes trespassers and every precaution must be taken to ensure that the public remains clear of CSXT’s property.

CSX Corporation PAGE 25 Revised July 2017 Quiet Zone Proposals

Key Points n This section was developed as a guideline for communities that approach CSXT in regards to the implementation of a Quiet Zone under the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) final rule on the use of locomotive horns at public highway-rail grade crossings (49 CFR Part 222, the “Rule”), and to ensure CSXT’s full compliance and cooperation with respect to the Rule. n According to the FRA, the implementation of Quiet Zones – without appropriate safeguards and equipment – increases the risk of accidents at highway-rail grade crossings. In this context, CSXT encourages communities considering whether to pursue the implementation of a Quiet Zone to take into account the installation of appropriate Supplemental Safety Measures (“SSMs”), as defined in the Rule, as well as the consolidation and/or closing of adjacent crossings, all of which will act as a safeguard to potentially reduce the risk of accidents at each crossing below the risk level that existed prior to the implementation of the Quiet Zone. n Communities that wish to implement Quiet Zones will be required to strictly comply with the Rule. n Pursuant to the Rule, notifications and/or applications to implement or continue Quiet Zones are to be made to the FRA and must involve all relevant state and local agencies, CSXT, and any other rail carriers operating in the area. n CSXT requires prepayment for all work performed to design, implement, and maintain railroad facilities within Quiet Zones. n CSXT desires to be a good corporate citizen. CSXT also places importance on the quality and timeliness of service to its customers and the communities it serves. As such, consistent with the Rule, CSXT will seek to encourage communities requesting Quiet Zones to implement and SSMs that optimally achieve safety while minimizing the impact on railroad operations. n CSXT has published a Quiet Zone Manual, located here: https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/library/files/about-us/property/quiet-zones/

Overview CSXT will fully comply with the Rule, which provides requirements for the sounding of locomotive horns when approaching public highway-rail grade crossings. The Rule also provides guidance for conditions under which a public authority with jurisdiction over the roadway crossing CSXT tracks may apply for and establish Quiet Zones. A Quiet Zone is a section of a rail line that contains one or more consecutive public crossings at which locomotive horns are not routinely sounded. (For full details on the rules, CSXT recommends that communities either visit the FRA web site at www.fra.dot.gov or contact the FRA’s Office of Safety at 202-493-6299).

Policy on Quiet Zones The Rule clearly defines requirements that must be satisfied by the public authority requesting that a Quiet Zone be established or continued. CSXT will expect the public authority to strictly comply with these requirements.

Identification of the crossing and location Each crossing has a unique DOT inventory identification number posted at the crossing. There is often more than one crossing on the same road. The crossing number (such as 123456A) must be used to identify the specific crossing in all communications with the railroad to reduce possible confusion about the specific location.

Preliminary Planning for Quiet Zones Preliminary work by CSXT personnel and/or its consultants is likely to be required in connection with the proposed new or continued Quiet Zone, including, but not limited to: updating crossing inventory information; attending meetings; participating, to the extent feasible, in diagnostic reviews of the public, private and pedestrian crossings in a proposed Quiet Zone; preparing and processing estimates covering the cost of work to be performed by CSXT, if applicable; and processing necessary agreements. CSXT will coordinate preliminary planning activities with each public authority pursuant to an initial agreement that will also provide for payment to CSXT for services provided during development of Quiet Zones.

CSX Corporation PAGE 26 Revised July 2017 Getting Started: Process for Pursuing a Quiet Zone 1. Groups or individuals interested in Quiet Zones should first contact the public authority responsible for the highway where the Quiet Zone would be located. Public authorities should then contact the FRA for additional information on Quiet Zone requirements and procedures.

2. The public authority shall initiate contact with CSXT to: [email protected]. Those making this contact will be furnished with the Quiet Zone policy and advised of the appropriate contact within the CSXT Public Projects Group for the initial planning activities with CSXT.

3. If the public authority decides to proceed with preliminary planning for a Quiet Zone, the public authority shall deposit funds with CSXT for CSXT’s Quiet Zone related expenses. After this deposit is received, CSXT will assist by providing, when required, DOT inventory information and attending diagnostic review meetings, to the extent schedules permit. CSXT resources to attend these meetings are limited and thus CSXT will seek flexibility in establishing meeting dates and times in order to permit CSXT representatives to attend.

4. The preliminary planning for a Quiet Zone project should include a review of the following principles:

a. CSXT will cooperate and work in good faith with local communities and the appropriate public authority to provide all possible assistance in a manner that protects the safety of local citizens and their communities as well as CSXT’s employees.

b. In accordance with the Rule, CSXT’s support of a Quiet Zone proposal will require the plan to meet very specific FRA measures and requirements, which in some cases, may be subject to FRA review, approval and on-going oversight. Accordingly, CSXT retains the right to review and comment on the requests.

c. CSXT expects the involvement of the state DOT, FRA, and/or state regulatory authority in any diagnostic review of a public, private and pedestrian crossing in the Quiet Zone corridor being proposed.

d. As discussed above, the appropriate public authority will be expected to reimburse CSXT for its cost of design, installation and future maintenance of safety enhancements, including, but not limited to, its installation of Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs) and Alternative Safety Measures (ASMs). As an example, CSXT installs and maintains active warning systems at highway-rail grade crossings that may be modified or expanded for a Quiet Zone. Curbs, medians, pavement markings and other traffic control signs such as advance warning signs are installed and maintained by Public Authorities. The specific responsibilities are expected to be resolved during the preliminary planning for a Quiet Zone.

e. If one or more SSMs or ASMs selected to be installed require work by CSXT, a separate standard Preliminary Engineering Agreement will be required to cover CSXT’s engineering, review, handling, and estimate preparation connected with the proposed work. A separate Construction Agreement will be used for implementation of the projects. The cost of this work will be the responsibility of the requesting public authority.

f. SSMs or ASMs installed and maintained by the public authority as described above are important parts of traffic control at each crossing. The Public authority is responsible for periodic inspection and repair of these items.

5. Standard CSXT Public Projects Group design and estimating procedures will be used for projects related to Quiet Zones.

6. Vehicle Loop Detection Circuitry will not be designed, installed, owned, or maintained by CSXT.

7. Wayside Horn Systems are not authorized for use on CSXT.

3.2. Estimate. CSXT has estimated the total Reimbursable Expenses for the Project to be approximately $ [INSERT DOLLAR AMOUNT] (the “Estimate” as amended or revised). In the event CSXT anticipates that actual Reimbursable Expenses may exceed such Estimate, it shall provide Agency with the revised Estimate of total Reimbursable Expenses for Agency’s approval and confirmation that sufficient funds have been appropriated to cover the total Reimbursable Expenses as reflected in the revised Estimate. CSXT may elect, by delivery of notice to Agency, to immediately cease all further Engineering Work, unless and until Agency provides such approval and confirmation.

3.3. Payment Terms.

3.3.1. Advance Payment in Full. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agency, Agency will deposit with CSXT a sum equal to the Reimbursable Expenses, as shown by the Estimate. Agency shall pay CSXT for Reimbursable Expenses in the amount set forth in CSXT Schedule PA attached hereto, a copy of which shall accompany the advance payment.

4. Appropriations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that CSXT shall first have approved the specifications therefore, as set forth in Section 2 hereof, AGENCY may also engage in periodic spot painting to remove graffiti (the “Spot Painting”).

2. PROJECT

A. All plans, specifications, drawings and other documents necessary or appropriate to the design and performance of the Project, including but not limited to paint color and temporary attachment specifications (if any), shall be prepared, at AGENCY’s sole cost and expense, by AGENCY or its Designees.

These requirements are intended to provide safe and continuous passage of all train traffic during and after construction of bridges over its tracks. Part of these requirements is for the outside party to submit a detailed plan of the project as well as provide details of the construction methodology. This document provides information on the requirements by CSXT for overhead bridges.

Plans and specifications for new or reconstructed bridges over CSXT’s railroad tracks or right-of-way shall meet the following requirements:

I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

A. CSXT’s valuation station and the distance from the nearest milepost at the intersection of the centerline of the track and the centerline of the bridge shall be shown on the General Plan.

B. The existing and proposed minimum horizontal and vertical clearances shall be marked clearly on the General Plan and Elevation.

C. At least one subsurface exploration boring for each substructure unit adjacent to the track shall be furnished to CSXT’s during the design submittal. Borings shall provide enough information to design shoring and foundations.

D. Prior to construction activities, all overhead bridge projects will require the procurement of the appropriate property rights from Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) and other construction agreement(s) with CSX Transportation.

E. All lifting equipment and connection devices shall have capacity for 150% of the actual lifting load. The factor of safety provided by the manufacturer in the lifting capacity data shall not be considered in the 150% requirement. A licensed professional engineer, familiar with lifting and rigging, in the State where the construction work is proposed must sign and seal all plans and calculations related to critical lifting on the project.

II. CLEARANCES:

A. Horizontal Clearance: Standard horizontal clearance from centerline of the track to the face of the pier or abutment shall typically be 25’-0” or greater, but never less than 18’-0”, measured perpendicular to the track. Provisions for future tracks, access roads, other CSXT facilities, and drainage may require the minimum clearance be increased or use of multi-span structures. The toe of footings shall not be closer than 11’-0” from centerline of the track to provide adequate room for sheeting.

B. Vertical Clearance: A standard vertical clearance of 23’-0” shall be provided, measured from top of high rail to lowest point of structure in the horizontal clearance area which extends 6’-0” either side of the centerline of track.

C. Temporary Construction clearances to be used shall be subject to approval by CSXT. Typically reductions in clearance for construction are not permitted.

D. CSXT shall be furnished as-built drawings showing actual clearances as constructed.

III. CRASHWALLS:

AREMA Specifications, Chapter 8, Article 2.1.5 covers the requirements for crashwalls. Crashwalls are required when face of the pier is closer than 25’-0” from centerline of the track, measured perpendicular to the track, except as noted below.

Crashwalls shall meet the following requirements:

A. Crashwalls for single column piers shall be minimum 2’-6” thick and shall extend a minimum of 6’-0” above the top of high rail for piers located between 18’-0” and 25’-0” from the centerline of the nearest track. The wall shall extend minimum 6’-0” beyond the column on each side in the direction parallel to the track.

B. For multi-column piers, the columns shall be connected with a wall of the same thickness as the columns or 2’-6”

SPECIAL PROVISION

REGARDING

BUY AMERICA REQUIREMENTS

All manufacturing processes for iron and steel products, and coatings applied thereon, used in this project shall occur in the United States except that if the proposal has bid items for furnishing domestic and foreign iron and steel, the bidder will have the option of (1) submitting a bid for furnishing domestic iron and steel, or (2) submitting a bid for furnishing domestic iron and steel and a bid for furnishing foreign iron and steel. If option (2) is chosen the bid will be tabulated on the basis of (a) the total bid price using the bid price for furnishing domestic iron and steel and, (b) the total bid price using the bid price for furnishing foreign iron and steel.

For the total bid based on furnishing foreign iron and steel to be considered for award, the lowest total bid based on furnishing domestic iron and steel must exceed the lowest total bid based on furnishing foreign iron and steel by more than 25 percent. The 25 percent differential applies to the total bid for the entire project, not just the bid prices for the steel or iron products.

Iron and steel products are defined as products rolled, formed, shaped, drawn, extruded, forged, cast, fabricated or otherwise similarly processed from iron and steel made in the United States. Iron products are included, however, pig iron and processed, pelletized, and reduced iron ore may be purchased outside the United States.

Manufacturing begins with initial melting and continues through the coating stage. Any process which modifies chemical content, physical size or shape, or the final finish is considered a manufacturing process. Coatings include epoxy, galvanizing, painting or any other surface protection that enhances the value and/or durability of a material.

The contractor shall provide a certification to the Engineer with each shipment of iron and steel products to the project site that the manufacturing processes for the iron and steel products occurred in the United States. No steel shall be placed until the contractor ensures the requirements of this Special Provision are met.

The above requirements do not prevent a minimal use of foreign materials, if the cost of such materials used does not exceed 0.1 percent of the total contract cost or $2,500.00, whichever is greater. If steel

SPECIAL PROVISION

REGARDING

WATER QUALITY AND STORM WATER PERMITS

Scope The conditions of this Special Provision apply to all construction on this project pursuant to the following:

1. Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1344), and all implementing regulations, including without limitation regulations of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers governing permits for discharges of dredged or fill material into of the United States in 33 CFR Part 323; and 2. The Tennessee Water Quality Control Act (T.C.A. §69-3-101, et seq.) and all implementing regulations, including without limitation the Rules of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation governing NPDES permits in Chapter 1200-4-10, and Aquatic Resource Alteration permits in Chapter 1200-4-7; and 3. Section 26a of the TVA Act of 1933 as amended (49 Stat. 1079, 16 U. S. C. sec. 831y1.) and all implementing regulations, including without limitation the regulations of the Tennessee Valley Authority governing construction in the Tennessee River System in 18 C.F.R., Part 1304; and 4. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Reelfoot Lake Watershed Management permit program (T.C.A. section 70-5-1,), and all implementing regulations, including without limitation regulations authorizing any activity, practice, or project which has or is likely to have the effect of diverting surface or subsurface water from the Lake or have the effect of draining or otherwise removing water from Reelfoot Lake; and 5. Coast Guard Bridge Permit (USCG) (Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1899) and all implementing regulations, including but not without limitation for projects which impact streams deemed navigable by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Responsibility It is understood and agreed that the Contractor assumes all responsibilities of the permittee as indicated in the permit that relates to protection of the "waters of the United States" and/or "waters of the State of Tennessee." It is also understood and agreed that the Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any additional permits required by the Contractor’s method of construction, including without

SP107FP SP107FP Sheet 2 of 4 limitation haul roads, temporary channels or temporary ditches, or off-site waste and/or borrow areas. It is also understood that the Contractor shall be responsible for implementing the provisions of the Water Quality (including, but not limited to, TDEC ARAP, USACE 404, TVA Section 26a, Coast Guard, TWRA) and Storm Water [including, but not limited to, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Statewide Stormwater Management Plan (SSWMP)] Permits and requirements that pertain to construction activities. The Contractor by signing this contract is indicating that the Contractor has reviewed a copy of the permit provisions, including NPDES Permit provisions at http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/construction/permits/npdes.pdf, the site specific SWPPP, the contract plans, Standard Specifications and contract Special Provisions and finds the permit requirements and erosion prevention and sediment control (EPSC) procedures to be reasonable, workable, and binding. It is also understood that the Contractor shall not be released from the project site responsibilities under the NPDES permit provisions until the Notice of Termination (NOT) is submitted to TDEC by the TDOT Regional Construction Supervisor. The NOT is a certification that the construction project site is permanently stabilized and that all construction related discharges have ceased. This means that the use of EPSC measures to alleviate concerns of surface erosion and transport of sediment to surface water conveyances or to waters of the state is no longer necessary. Furthermore, it means that permanent controls, hard surfaces and/or vegetation, employed at the site are deemed adequate to prevent erosion and sediment transport and no other potential sources of construction-related pollution are on the project. It is also understood that the Contractor shall not be released from any warranty provided for EPSC plantings, including sod and trees. If the entire project is complete as outlined in Subsection 105.15 of the Standard Specifications, the Contractor shall be required to supply a performance bond as outlined in Subsection 802.15 of the Standard Specifications to cover any warranty for EPSC plantings.

NPDES Permit Required Action The Contractor (or their representative) shall accompany the EPSC inspector (TDOT personnel or TDOT hired consultant) on all EPSC inspections of the entire construction project including permitted locations and potentially impacted streams as well as attend all QA/QC Project Assessments. EPSC Inspections shall be conducted as required in the most current TN Construction General Permit. EPSC inspections shall be performed on the schedule established in the TN Construction General Permit until the site is permanently stabilized to determine if the permit requirements are being met. Where sites or portion(s) of construction sites have been temporarily stabilized, or runoff is unlikely due to winter conditions (e.g. site covered with snow or ice), such inspection only has to be conducted once per month until thawing or precipitation results in runoff or construction activity resumes. Written notification of the intent to change the inspection frequency and the justification for such request must be submitted to the TDOT Project Supervisor and the TDEC Central Office before proceeding. An individual representing the Contractor, who holds a current TDEC “Fundamentals of Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Level I” certification shall accompany the EPSC inspector on all required EPSC inspections. The Contractors project supervisor(s) shall also hold

SP107FP SP107FP Sheet 3 of 4 a current TDEC “Fundamentals of Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Level I” certification. Proof of required personnel training for the individual(s) shall be provided to the TDOT Project Supervisor prior to beginning of construction. The TDOT EPSC inspector shall document all deficiencies on the required TDOT EPSC Inspection Report form (provided in the SWPPP). The Contractor (or their representative) shall sign the TDOT EPSC Inspection Report form and any supporting documentation indicating that he is in agreement with the report, recommendations and repair schedule as stated within the documentation. Additionally, the Contractor shall make necessary maintenance and repairs relative to deficiencies in these permit conditions or requirements within twenty-four (24) hours after an inspection identifies the maintenance or repair need, and/or when directed to do so by the TDOT Project Supervisor, unless conditions make a particular activity impracticable. Any such conditions that make immediate repairs impracticable shall be documented and provided to the TDOT Project Supervisor, via the inspection report, and be accompanied by an expected repair schedule based on forecasted weather conditions. The Contractor further agrees that he will execute two (2) copies of the Notice of Intent (NOI) form of the permit (provided by the Department), indicating his acceptance of the stipulations contained therein. The Contractor further agrees, that should he fail to execute said copies and return them to the TDOT Construction Division within ten (10) calendar days after submittal of the contract proposal to him, that the Department may at its discretion cancel the award with the Contractor forfeiting his bid bond. Further, the Contractor agrees to review the site specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that will be made available prior to or at the pre-construction conference, for any additional EPSC requirements. The Contractor shall sign and submit two copies of the SWPPP signature page (provided by the Department within the site specific SWPPP). The Contractor may submit for review and approval changes/revisions to the SWPPP to better prevent erosion and sediment transport at any time after contract execution. Rejection of any submittals does not relieve the contractor of any liability for appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs). If at any time during this contract, the requirements for the Water Quality Permits and/or the Storm Water Permits for Construction Related Activities are changed/revised/updated, the Contractor shall be notified in writing by the Department of such requirements. The Contractor shall comply with the new requirements within thirty (30) days of the Department notification. If at any time the Contractor becomes aware that sedimentation is occurring or has occurred in streams impacted by the specified project, the Contractor shall immediately notify the TDOT Project Supervisor to evaluate the EPSC measures employed. A determination of the cause for sedimentation will be made by the Department. The Contractor shall immediately repair or replace defective EPSC measures, and install, as applicable, additional or other EPSC measures with the goal of eliminating future sedimentation. Once a remediation plan is provided by the Department, the Contractor shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after notification, begin the remediation as required. Based on the cause of sedimentation, the Department will determine if the cost of remediation will be performed at the Contractor’s expense.

Failure to Comply In the event a Notice of Violation (NOV) or Order pursuant to the Tennessee Water Quality Control Act or the Federal Clean Water Act is issued on this project, any and all fines will be the

SP107FP SP107FP Sheet 4 of 4 sole responsibility of the Contractor as outlined in Subsection 107.01 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Failure of the Contractor to comply with this Special Provision or take immediate corrective actions required within twenty-four (24) hours (unless documented conditions make a particular maintenance or repair activity impracticable immediately) shall be reason for the TDOT Project Supervisor to suspend all other work on the Project, except erosion prevention and sediment control (EPSC) and traffic control, applying non-refundable deductions of monies from the Contract per calendar day from monies due to the Contractor for any EPSC work on the Project. This deduction can be made for each location, as determined by the TDOT Project Supervisor, for each calendar day that the deficiency is allowed to remain and charged as item description “Failure to Comply with Permit Deduction”. A deduction shall be made from monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages, as indicated in Subsection 108.09 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction January 1, 2015, as amended. If the Contractor does not make necessary corrections/adjustments in a timely manner as required above, the Department will implement the provisions of Subsection 209.07 and Subsection 109.08 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction that provides for the Department making repairs and recovering the costs thereof from the Contractor. The Department will not participate in any payment or reimbursement for fines and will not authorize time extensions due to delays in project progress for work stoppage, to remedy the violations stated within the NOV, required by the TDOT Project Supervisor as stated in Subsection 105.01 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure To help prevent the discharge of oil into navigable waters, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Program.The SPCC Program is under the authority of Section 311 (j)(1)(C) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) in 1974. The rule may be found at Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 112. Additional information regarding the preparation and requirements of a SPCC Plan can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/oem/content/spcc/.

If applicable based upon the total aggregate capacity of aboveground oil storage, the contractor shall develop a site specific SPCC Plan per EPA requirements. This plan shall be provided to the Project Supervisor as part of the required submittals during the project Pre- Construction Meeting or at which time the conditions on the project site meet the applicable criteria. The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any other necessary local, state, and federal permits as applicable. The SPCC Plan and/or permits shall be kept on-site.

The contractor shall be responsible complying with all aspects of the site specific SPCC Plan including but not limited to: performing any required inspections as directed by the SPCC Plan as well as implementing material and spill management practices per the project’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). In the event, where a release containing a hazardous substance in an amount equal to, or in excess of a reportable quantity established under either 40 CFR 117 or 40 CFR 302 occurs during a 24-hour period, the contractor shall immediately notify the Project Supervisor.

14. Linear Transportation Projects.

Activities required for crossings of waters of the United States associated with the construction, expansion, modification, or improvement of linear transportation projects (e.g., roads, highways, railways, trails, airport runways, and taxiways) in waters of the United States. For linear transportation projects in non-tidal waters, the discharge cannot cause the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States. For linear transportation projects in tidal waters, the discharge cannot cause the loss of greater than 1/3-acre of waters of the United States. Any stream channel modification, including bank stabilization, is limited to the minimum necessary to construct or protect the linear transportation project; such modifications must be in the immediate vicinity of the project.

This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work, including the use of temporary mats, necessary to construct the linear transportation project. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures, work, and discharges, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate.

This NWP cannot be used to authorize non-linear features commonly associated with transportation projects, such as vehicle maintenance or storage buildings, parking lots, train stations, or aircraft hangars.

Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity if: (1) The loss of waters of the United States exceeds 1/10-acre; or (2) there is a discharge in a special aquatic site, including wetlands. (See general condition 32.)

(Authorities: Sections 10 and 404)

Note 1: For linear transportation projects crossing a single waterbody more than one time at separate and distant locations, or multiple waterbodies at separate and distant locations, each crossing is considered a single and complete project for purposes of NWP authorization. Linear transportation projects must comply with 33 CFR 330.6(d).

Note 2: Some discharges for the construction of farm roads or forest roads, or temporary roads for moving mining equipment, may qualify for an exemption under section 404(f) of the Clean Water Act (see 33 CFR 323.4).

Note 3: For NWP 14 activities that require pre-construction notification, the PCN must include any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant crossings that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification (see paragraph (b) of general condition 32). The district engineer will evaluate the PCN in accordance with Section D, “District Engineer's Decision.” The district engineer may require mitigation to ensure that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects (see general condition 23). 2017 Nationwide Permit General Conditions

Dear Ms Wiseman:

You recently submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) form as part of an application package to obtain coverage under a General NPDES Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. The Division of Water Resources (the division) acknowledges receipt of the most recent version of the application for the above referenced project on February 7, 2018. After review, the application was deemed to be complete on February 13, 2018. Enclosed is the Notice of Coverage (NOC) form which shows the site name and location, receiving stream, effective date of coverage, etc.

Contractor Information

As of the date this NOI was processed, no contractor was identified on the NOI. A primary contractor, or contractor otherwise responsible for sediment and erosion controls on the construction site, must be identified and must submit an NOI to this office prior to his beginning earth clearing operations on site. When submiting the NOI, the contractor should indicate on the NOI form the above referenced permit tracking number.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

You have submitted a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as required by section 1.4.2 of the General Permit. Please note that the division has not performed an engineering review of the SWPPP and does not certify whether the SWPPP adequately provides for the pollution prevention requirements at the site as described in the General Permit. The division acknowledges that you have submitted a SWPPP that appears to include the required components of a SWPPP. It is the responsibility of all site operators to design, implement, and maintain measures that are sufficient to prevent pollution at the referenced site, and to remain in compliance with the terms and conditions of the General Permit..

Annual Mantenance Fee and Termination of Permit Coverage

Effective July 1, 2014, permit fees for the General Permit have been revised. In addition to new application fee amounts, annual maintenance fees are now required for projects that exceed one year of coverage. Permittees wishing to terminate coverage must submit a completed notice of termination (NOT) form, which is available on the division’s construction stormwater webpage at http://www.tn.gov/environment/article/permit-water-npdes-stormwater-construction-permit.

The division will review the NOT for completeness and accuracy and, when necessary, investigate the site for which the NOT was submitted. The division will notify the applicant that either the NOT form was received and accepted, or that the permit coverage is not eligible for termination and has not been terminated. If applicable, the notification will include a summary of existing deficiencies.

We appreciate your attention to the General Permit and its requirements. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Jim McAdoo at (615) 532-0684 or by E-mail at [email protected].

PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT FOR BITUMINOUS MATERIAL

This Special Provision covers the method of payment adjustment for bituminous materials.

100% Virgin Bituminous Material A payment adjustment will be made to compensate for increases and decreases of 5% or more in the contractor's bituminous material cost. The normal bid items in the contract covering the bituminous material shall not be changed. Payment adjustments (+/-) shall be paid under “Payment Adjustment for Bituminous Material” and calculated as described herein:

A "Basic Bituminous Material Index" will be established by the Tennessee Department of Transportation prior to the time the bids are opened. This "Basic Bituminous Material Index" is the average of the current quotations on P.G. 64-22 from suppliers furnishing asphalt cement to contractors in the State of Tennessee. These quotations are the cost per ton f.o.b. supplier's terminal.

The "Basic Bituminous Material Index" for this project is $462.92 per ton.

The "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" is also established on the first day of each month by the same method. A payment adjustment shall be made provided the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” varies 5% or more (+/-) from the "Basic Bituminous Material Index".

Where the price index varies 5% or more, the payment adjustment will be made as follows:

PA = [Ic - Ib] x T

Where: PA = Price Adjustment for Adjustment Month Ib = Basic Bituminous Material Index Ic = Monthly Bituminous Material Index T = Tons bituminous material for Adjustment Month

Payment adjustment will be applied to all asphalt cement, asphalt emulsion, or bituminous material used for paving on this project. SP109B SP109B Page 2 of 4 Upon the expiration of the allocated working time, as set forth in the original contract or as extended by Change Order, payment adjustments for bituminous material will continue to be made only when the "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" is less than the "Basic Bituminous Material Index" and varies 5% or more.

Payment adjustment, for bituminous material used after the expiration of the allocated working time and where the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” exceeds the “Basic Bituminous Material Index”, will not be made until after the contract records have been approved by Final Records (FR)/Materials & Tests (MT) and a Final Estimate is ready to be processed. Upon contract record approval by FR/MT, payment adjustments for bituminous material shall be calculated for each month where the allocated working time has expired, the "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" exceeds the "Basic Bituminous Material Index", and the indices vary 5% or more. The calculation of the bituminous payment adjustment shall be made using the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” or the “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date” in accordance with the following formulas:

The “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date” is the Monthly Bituminous Material Index in effect on the allocated Contract Completion Date or on the completion date as extended by Change Order.

The “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” is less than the “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date”.

PA = [Ic - Ib] x T

The “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” is greater than the “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date”.

PA = [Icd - Ib] x T

Where:

PA = Price Adjustment for Adjustment Month Ib = Basic Bituminous Material Index Ic = Monthly Bituminous Material Index Icd = Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date (or as extended by Change Order) T = Tons

FOR REFERENCE ONLY SiteManager calculates the price adjustement based on the actual amount of asphalt cement (residue) in the emulsion using the following percentages: -tack coats and shoulder sealants (e.g. SS-1, SS-1h, CSS-1, Css-1h) 63% residue -prime coats (e.g. AE-P) 54% residue -microsurfacing (e.g. CQS-1HP) 65% residue -chip seals (e.g. CRS-2, CRS-2P) 69% residue SP109B SP109B Page 3 of 4

Mixes Containing Recycled Bituminous Material The quantity of virgin asphalt cement in tons subject to payment adjustment in recycled mixes shall be the product of the total tons of each mix multiplied by the difference between (1) the percent of asphalt cement specified for bidding purposes and (2) the percent of asphalt cement obtained from the recycled asphaltic material (RAP) used in each mix. No payment adjustment under this special provision for increases and decreases in the contractor's cost for virgin asphalt cement in recycled mixes will be allowed for asphalt cement content in excess of the percent specified for bidding purposes, as all payment adjustments for asphalt cement in the mix design of recycled mixes in excess of the percent of asphalt cement specified for bidding purposes will be made in accordance with the Standard Specifications.

No payment adjustment for bituminous material containing RAP shall be made unless the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” varies 5% or more from the “Basic Bituminous Material Index” indicated in this Special Provision. Where the price index varies 5% or more, the payment adjustment will be made as follows:

PA = [Ic - Ib] x [BA - RA] x Tm 100

PA = Price Adjustment for Adjustment Month Ib = Basic Bituminous Material Index Ic = Monthly Bituminous Material Index BA = Percent asphalt specified for bidding purposes RA = Percent asphalt obtained from recycled asphaltic material used in each mix Tm = Tons asphalt mix for adjustment month

Upon the expiration of the allocated working time, as set forth in the original contract or as extended by Change Order, payment adjustments for bituminous material containing RAP will continue to be made only when the "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" is less than the "Basic Bituminous Material Index" and varies 5% or more.

Payment adjustment, for bituminous material containing RAP provided after the expiration of the allocated working time and where the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” exceeds the “Basic Bituminous Material Index”, shall not be made until after the contract records have been approved by Final Records (FR)/Materials & Tests (MT) and a Final Estimate is ready to be processed. Upon contract record approval by FR/MT, payment adjustments for bituminous material containing RAP shall be calculated for each month where the allocated working time has expired, the "Monthly Bituminous Material Index" exceeds the "Basic Bituminous Material Index", and the indices vary 5% or more. The calculation of the bituminous payment adjustment shall be made using the “Monthly Bituminous Material Index” or the “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date” in accordance with the following formulas: SP109B SP109B Page 4 of 4 The “Bituminous Material Index for Contract Completion Date” is the Monthly Bituminous Material Index in effect on the allocated Contract Completion Date or on the completion date as extended by Change Order.

ASPHALT PAVEMENT SAFETY EDGE

Description The contractor shall attach a device to the screed of the paver such that material is confined at the end gate and extrudes the asphalt material in such a way that results in a consolidated wedge-shape pavement edge of approximately 25 to 30 degrees as it leaves the paver (measured from a line parallel to the pavement surface). The device shall maintain contact to the graded material adjacent to the pavement and must be adjustable to allow for transition to cross roads, driveways and obstructions without requiring the paver to be stopped routinely. The device shall constrain the asphalt head and increase the density of the extruded profile. To achieve desired results, rolling is not required on the wedge. The desired pavement edge angle is 30 degrees but angles as steep as 38 degrees are acceptable after the mat has been rolled for compaction.

The contractor shall use the TransTech Shoulder Wedge Maker, the Advant-Edge Edger or Ramp Champ, Carlson’s Safety Edge Endgate or an equivalent device that produces the same wedge consolidation results. If the contractor uses a similar device, he must provide proof that his device has been used on previous projects with acceptable results (proof shall consist of, at a minimum, approval and endorsement of another State D.O.T. or FHWA Division). Short sections of handwork will be allowed when necessary for transitions and turnouts or otherwise authorized by the engineer. Conventional single plate strike off devices will not be allowed.

No direct payment will be made for the Safety Edge and all cost of furnishing and/or operation of this device will be included in other items.

625.06 Self-Consolidating Concrete. Drilled shafts shall be constructed of the class concrete and concrete strength specified on Plans, and all material, proportioning, mixing and transporting of concrete shall be in accordance with TDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction except as modified below. The concrete mix for drilled shafts shall be dense, homogeneous, fluid and resistant to segregation, and shall consolidate under self-weight such that vibrating or rodding will not be required as specified in 604.03 1b. Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) Design and Production Parameters. The concrete mix shall have a set time that ensures that fluidity is maintained throughout the shaft concrete placement and removal of temporary casing, if used. 625.07 Casing. When applicable, the Contractor shall select the rigid casing used to stabilize shaft during construction unless casing is specified on Plans. A casing with sufficient strength to safely resist all imposed loads, including those from the soil and ground water, shall be used. The Contractor must insure the stability of casing during all drilled shaft operations. Shop Drawings. Shop drawings for permanent steel casings shall be submitted to and approved by the Engineer prior to installation of the casings. Condition of Casings. Casings shall be smooth, clean and watertight. Out-of-round tolerance shall not exceed one inch at any portion of the casing. The Contractor shall demonstrate the casing is within tolerance after installation. Telescoping casing shall not be allowed in bridges located in Seismic Zones 3 or 4. Extent of Casing Length. Permanent casings, if required, shall be continuous wherever possible or practical.

Page 4 of 21

inspection. Inspection of welds will be of a visual nature. If evidence indicating poor welding is found, the Engineer may require ultrasonic testing at the contractor’s expense.

625.08 Slurry. Drilling slurry will be defined as mineral slurry, polymer slurry, natural slurry formed during the drilling process, water or other fluids used to maintain stability of the drilled shaft excavation to aid in the drilling process or to maintain the quality of the rock socket. In addition, the terms mineral slurry and polymer slurry, as used herein, will be defined as the final mixed composite of all additives, including manufactured mineral or polymer slurry additives required to produce the acceptable drilling slurry. Slurry Usage. Drilling slurry shall be used if detailed in the approved installation plan, if in accordance with the contract documents or if approved in writing by the Engineer. Drilling slurry may be used at the Contractor’s option if the slurry is not in accordance with the contract documents; however, any slurry shall be approved by the Engineer prior to use. Drilling slurry, when used, will be non-compensable and effect on time of performance due to the use of the slurry will be non-excusable. General Properties. The material used to make the slurry shall not be detrimental to the concrete or surrounding ground strata. Mineral slurries shall have both a mineral grain size that remains in suspension and sufficient viscosity and gel characteristics to transport excavated material to a suitable screening system. Polymer slurries shall have sufficient viscosity and gel characteristics to transport excavated material to suitable screening systems or settling tanks. The percentage and specific gravity of the material used to make the slurry shall be sufficient to maintain the stability of the excavation and to allow proper concrete placement. If approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may use water and on-site soils as drilling slurry. In that case, the range of acceptable values for density, viscosity and pH, as shown in the following table for bentonite slurry, shall be met, except that maximum density (unit weight) shall not exceed 70 pounds/cubic foot. When water is used as the drilling fluid to construct rock sockets in limestone, dolomite, sandstone or other formations that are not erodible, the requirements for slurry testing will not apply. Preparation. Prior to introduction into the shaft excavation, the manufactured mineral or polymer slurry admixture shall be pre-mixed thoroughly with clean, fresh water and for adequate time in accordance with the slurry admixture manufacturer’s recommendations allotted for hydration. Potable water can be used for mixing although stream or river water may be used when approved by the engineer. Slurry tanks of adequate capacity will be required for slurry mixing, circulation, storage and treatment. No excavated slurry pits will be allowed in lieu of slurry tanks without written approval from the Engineer. Adequate de-sanding equipment will be required as necessary to control slurry properties during the drilled shaft excavation in accordance with the values provided in the table below. De-sanding will not be required for signposts or lighting mast foundations unless specified in the contract documents. Control Tests. Control tests using a suitable apparatus shall be performed by the Contractor on the slurry to determine density, viscosity, sand content and pH of freshly mixed slurry, recycled slurry and slurry in the excavation. Tests of slurry samples from within one foot of the bottom and at mid-height of the shaft shall be conducted in each shaft excavation during the excavation process to establish a consistent working pattern. A minimum of four sets of tests shall be conducted during the first eight hours of slurry use on the project. When the results show consistent behavior, the testing frequency may be decreased to one set every four hours of slurry

Page 5 of 21 use, or as otherwise approved by the Engineer. Reports of all tests, signed by an authorized representative of the Contractor, shall be furnished to the Engineer on completion of each drilled shaft. An acceptance range of values for the physical properties will be as shown in the table below. Sampling. When slurry samples are found to be unacceptable, the Contractor shall bring the slurry in the shaft excavation to within specification requirements. Concrete shall not be poured until re-sampling and testing results produce acceptable values. Prior to placing shaft concrete, the Contractor shall take slurry samples from within one foot of the bottom and at mid-height of the shaft. Any heavily contaminated slurry that has accumulated at the bottom of the shaft shall be removed. Disposal of all slurry shall be done in areas approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall perform final shaft bottom cleaning after suspended solids have settled from the slurry mix.

Maximum Contact 4 72 72 Hours a Time a. Without agitation and sidewall cleaning. b. Higher viscosities may be required to maintain excavation stability in loose or gravelly sand deposits.

625.09 Protection of Existing Structures. All precautions shall be taken to prevent damage to existing structures and utilities as stated in Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction or plans general notes. These measures shall include, but are not limited to, monitoring and controlling the vibrations from the driving of casing or drilling of the shaft, and selecting construction methods and procedures that shall prevent excessive caving of the shaft excavation.

625.10 Technique Shafts. When required by the contract documents, the Contractor shall demonstrate the adequacy of methods and equipment used during construction of the first drilled shaft, which shall be an out of position technique shaft, constructed with reinforcement as identified for production shafts on the Plans. This technique shaft shall be drilled in the position as directed by the Engineer and drilled to the maximum depth for any production shaft shown on the Plans. If at any time the Contractor is unable to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, the adequacy of methods or equipment and alterations required, an additional technique shaft(s) may be required. Technique shafts shall be cut off three feet below ground line, buried or otherwise disposed of as specified in the contract documents or as directed by the Engineer. Once approval has been given to construct production shafts, no changes will be permitted in the methods of equipment used to construct the shaft without approval from the Engineer. When a technique shaft is not required, construction of the first production shaft will be used to determine if the methods and equipment used by the Contractor are acceptable. Failure at any time to demonstrate to the Engineer the adequacy of methods or equipment will be cause for the Engineer to require appropriate alterations in equipment or method by the Contractor to eliminate unsatisfactory results.

625.11 Construction Sequence. Where construction of a footing is applicable, excavation to footing elevation shall be completed before shaft construction begins, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. Any disturbance to the footing area caused by shaft installation shall be repaired by the Contractor prior to pouring the footing. When drilled shafts are to be installed in conjunction with embankment placement, the Contractor shall construct drilled shafts after placement of fills. Drilled shafts constructed prior to the completion of fills shall not be capped until the fills have been placed as near to final grade as possible, leaving only the necessary work room for construction of the caps.

625.12 General Equipment and Methods. The Contractor shall perform excavations through whatever material is encountered to the dimensions and elevations shown on the Plans. The Contractor’s methods and equipment shall be suitable for the intended purpose and for whatever material is encountered. Equipment. The Contractor shall provide equipment capable of constructing shafts to a depth equal to the deepest shaft tip elevation shown on the Plans plus 15 feet, or as otherwise specified

Page 7 of 21

in the contract documents. When a rock socket is identified on the Plans at a shaft location, the definition of “shaft tip elevation”, for the purposes of this subsection, shall be taken to refer to the bottom of the rock socket. Excavation Methods. Excavations required for shafts and rock sockets shall be completed in a continuous operation. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring the stability of the shaft excavation and the surrounding soil. When obstructions, either expected or unexpected, are encountered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer promptly. The dry method, wet method, temporary casing method, permanent casing method if specified, or combinations, as necessary, shall be used to produce sound, durable concrete drilled shafts free of defects. The permanent casing method shall be used only when required by the contract documents or approved by the Engineer. Blasting excavation methods will not be permitted. When a rock socket is required, the Engineer will be the sole judge as to what constitutes the top of sound rock. The Engineer may order in writing additional depths of rock socket below the top of sound rock as considered necessary to improve the foundation. If the top surface of the sound rock is found to be inclined across the width of the shaft, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer. The Contractor shall use an airlift, or other method approved by the Engineer, to clean the bottom of the shaft excavation.

625.13 Dry Construction Method. The dry construction method shall be used only at sites where the groundwater table and site conditions, generally stiff to hard clays or rock above the water table, are suitable to permit construction of the shaft in a relatively dry excavation and where the sides and bottom of the shaft remain stable without any caving, sloughing or swelling and allow visual inspection prior to concrete placement. The dry method shall consist of drilling the shaft excavation, removing accumulated seepage water and loose material from the excavation and placing the shaft reinforcing and concrete in a relatively dry excavation. The dry construction method shall be used only when shaft excavations have 12 inches per hour or less of seepage and less than 3” of standing water.

625.14 Wet Construction Method. The wet construction method shall be used at sites where a dry excavation cannot be maintained for placement of the shaft concrete. This method shall consist of drilling the shaft excavation below the water table, keeping the shaft filled with water, natural slurry formed during the drilling process, mineral slurry or polymer slurry to control seepage, groundwater movement and stability of the hole perimeter until excavation to the final depth and placement of the reinforcing cage and concrete has been completed. This procedure will require placing the shaft concrete with either a tremie or beginning at the shaft bottom, and displacing the water or slurry as concrete is placed. Temporary partial depth casings near the ground surface shall be provided to aid shaft alignment and position and to prevent sloughing of the top of the shaft excavation. Where drilled shafts are located in open water areas, shafts shall be constructed by the wet method using casings extending from above the water elevation to the Plans casing tip elevation or top of rock socket to protect the shaft concrete from water action during placement and curing. The casing shall be installed in a manner that produces a positive seal at the bottom of the casing.

625.15 Temporary Casing Construction Method. The temporary casing construction method shall be used at all sites where the stability of the excavated hole, the effects of groundwater cannot be controlled by other means, or other conditions exist in which the Engineer deems it

Page 8 of 21

necessary. In this method, the hole shall be advanced through caving material by the wet method in accordance with Subsection 625.14. When a formation is reached that is nearly impervious, a casing shall be placed in the hole and sealed. Drilling may proceed by the dry method to the projected depth. The placement of concrete shall proceed by the dry or wet method, except that the casing shall be withdrawn after the concrete is placed. In the event seepage conditions prevent use of the dry method, excavation shall be completed by the wet method. Before and during casing withdrawal, a 5-foot minimum head of fresh concrete above the bottom of the casing shall be maintained at such a level that fluid trapped behind the casing is displaced upward out of the shaft excavation without mixing with or displacing the shaft concrete. Casing extraction shall be at a slow, uniform rate with the pull in line with the axis of the shaft. Temporary casings shall be removed while the concrete is still workable and the slump of the concrete is between four and eight inches. Vibratory hammers shall not be used for casing installation or removal within 50 feet of other shafts that have been completed less than 24 hours earlier. The reinforcing cage shall not be damaged or displaced when withdrawing the temporary casing.

625.16 Permanent Casing Construction Method. The permanent casing construction method shall be used only when required by the contract documents or authorized by the Engineer. The casing shall be continuous between top and bottom elevations shown on the Plans. Vibratory hammers shall not be used for casing installation within 50 feet of shafts which have had concrete poured within the past 24 hours

625.17 Time Limitations. When bentonite slurry is used, the Contractor shall adjust construction operations such that the maximum time that slurry is in contact with the bottom five feet of the shaft, the time from the end of drilling to the beginning of concrete placement, does not exceed four hours without agitation. If the four-hour limit is exceeded, the bottom five feet of the shaft shall be over reamed prior to performing other operations in the shaft. For rock sockets constructed in shale using polymer slurry, concrete placement shall begin within 72 hours of starting the rock socket excavation to avoid degradation of the shaft sidewall. Before concrete placement begins, foundation inspection, when required, cleaning operations and reinforcing steel placement shall be completed and approved by the Engineer. These operations will be included in the 72 hour time limit. If concrete placement is not begun within the time limit, the Contractor shall take corrective measures to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

625.18 Level of Slurry. During construction, the level of slurry not be less than five feet above the water table and shall be maintained at a height sufficient to prevent caving of the excavation. If the Engineer determines that the slurry construction method is failing to produce the desired final results, the Contractor shall discontinue operations and propose an alternate method for approval from the Engineer. Correction for a failed slurry construction method will be non- compensable and any effect on time of performance non-excusable.

625.19 Slurry Manufacturer’s Representative. When manufactured mineral or polymer slurry additives are to be incorporated into the drilling slurry mix, the Contractor shall provide the technical assistance of a representative of the mineral or polymer slurry additive manufacturer at the site prior to introduction of the slurry into the first shaft where slurry use will be required, and during drilling and completion of a minimum of one shaft to adjust the slurry mix to the specific site conditions.

Page 9 of 21

625.20 Cleaning of Shaft or Casing Sidewalls. Cleaning of the shaft or casing sidewalls shall occur by a method approved by the Engineer as necessary to remove the depth of softening or to remove excessive slurry cake buildup.

625.21 General Excavation Considerations. The Plans will indicate the top of shaft elevations and the estimated bottom of shaft elevations between which the drilled shaft shall be constructed. Drilled shafts may be extended or shortened as approved by TDOT Soils and Geology and TDOT Structures if the foundation material encountered is unsuitable or better than anticipated, or based on the results of load tests.

625.22 Time Restrictions. Drilled shaft excavation shall begin only if the Contractor can complete the excavation, perform foundation inspection and testing, and place the reinforcement and concrete as a continuous daily operation. No two shaft within 50 feet of another shaft shall be excavated at the same time. Shafts shall not be constructed within 24 hours of the completion of an adjacent shaft if the center-to-center spacing is less than three shaft diameters.

625.23 Disposal of Excavated Material. Excavated material removed from the shaft and any drilling fluids used shall be disposed of in accordance with the contract documents, as directed by the Engineer, and in compliance with federal and state regulatory requirements

625.24 Worker Entry Into Shaft Excavation. The Contractor shall not allow workers to enter the shaft excavation for any reason, unless both a suitable casing has been installed and adequate safety equipment and procedures have been provided to workers entering the excavation.

625.25 Rock and Obstructions. Subsurface obstructions at drilled shaft locations shall be removed by the Contractor. The Contractor shall employ special procedures or tools when the hole cannot be advanced using conventional equipment. Blasting will not be permitted. Any man-made material that significantly limits excavation advancement such as concrete, steel, timber, etc. will be classified as an “obstruction”. Drilling tools lost in the excavation will not be considered obstructions and shall be promptly removed by the Contractor. The presence of an obstruction for pay purposes must be verified by the Engineer or his representative. Removal of obstruction(s) will be paid at two times the unit price bid for Item Drilled (Rock) L.F. for the shaft length from the first occurrence of the obstruction until such depth that the shaft is advanced to the point of removal of the obstruction and normal shaft excavation methods can resume. Boulders or rock layers of such size that do not allow the use of soil excavation tools as described above will not be considered an obstruction but will be considered Drilled Caisson Rock as described above.

625.26 Inspection Equipment. The Contractor shall maintain at the job at all times, all equipment suitable for use in the shaft inspection.

625.27 Removal of Excess Sediment. Final shaft depth shall be measured with approved methods after final cleaning by airlift, or other method approved by the Engineer. Unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, a minimum of 50 percent of the base of each shaft shall have less than ½ inch of sediment at the time of concrete placement. The maximum depth of sediment or any debris at any place on the base of the shaft shall not exceed 1 ½ inches. Shaft cleanliness will be verified by the Engineer for wet or dry shafts.

Page 10 of 21

625.28 Inspection, Supervision, and Records. The Contractor shall provide aid to the Engineer in maintaining accurate records during all phases of the drilled shaft installation. The Contractor's supervisor shall provide the Engineer with any information required for the drilled shaft inspection reports. The Contractor shall provide bosun chairs, gas meters, safety equipment, lights, mirrors, weighted tape measures, steel probes, cameras, personnel and all assistance that may be required for the Engineer to inspect the drilled shaft excavations. Contractor shall perform any corrective work found necessary as a result of inspections. Necessary time shall be allowed for performance of these inspections.

625.29 Inspection for Side Walls. At the Engineer’s request, the Contractor will lower the Inspector to the level of the bottom of the casing and allow visual examination of the side walls of the rock socket to confirm the top of rock socket has been reached once the casing has been extended to the top of rock. Preferably, the sidewall inspection should not be performed until the drilled shaft excavation has extended to the anticipated base of rock socket and before any inner casing is set below the top of rock. Should the observed rock excavation reveal soil inclusions or voids, the drilled shaft excavation shall be extended as directed by the Engineer. Where groundwater cannot be controlled or other conditions prevent safe down-hole entry, side wall inspection will be performed using a camera. The camera should include any light source needed to allow for clear imaging. The Contractor will be responsible for providing sufficient proof that casing has been properly seated into rock and that side walls are free from soil inclusions or voids.

625.30 Inspection of Bottom of Shaft. Where groundwater can be effectively controlled (that is, less than one foot of standing water is maintained in excavation bottom) after reaching the anticipated base of rock socket, the Contractor will lower the Inspector to the level of the bottom of the socket and allow visual examination of the bottom of the shaft. Temporary casing should extend to the base of the rock socket to allow the Inspector to safely enter the excavation. Where groundwater cannot be controlled or other conditions prevent safe down-hole entry, bottom of shaft inspection will be performed using a camera. The camera should include any light source needed to allow for clear imaging. The Contractor will be responsible for providing sufficient proof that excess sediment has been removed in accordance with Subsection 625.27. The determination of the shaft’s tip elevation after excavation to the anticipated base of rock socket will either be made by the Engineer’s judgment of conditions found in previously performed test borings drilled within the dimensions of the rock socket, examination of rock socket shaft excavation results (recovered cores or observation of shaft drilling response) or by examination of rock cores taken at least 8 feet below the shaft bottom as discussed in Subsection 625.31.

625.31 Core Drilling. When required by contract documents, core drilling shall be performed as described in the contract plans and paid for under Core Drilling and Sampling at the contract unit price. When core drilling is not included in the contract documents and is required by site conditions and directed by the Engineer, core drilling shall be paid at the contract unit price for Concrete Coring. The Engineer may require rock core samples to be taken a minimum depth of 8 feet and up to a maximum depth of 20 feet below the bottom of the drilled shaft excavation to either aid in predetermining acceptable rock socket elevations prior to beginning of shaft excavation or to provide information to determine the acceptability of a completed rock socket. Core sampling should be performed in accordance with ASTM D 2113 using a double or triple

Page 11 of 21 wall core barrel of NX (54.7 mm / 2.16 in.) or NQ (47.5 mm / 1.87 in.) size. The Contractor will perform this core sampling or schedule his qualified representative to do this work.

625.32 Log of Excavated Material. The Contractor shall maintain a log of cored material for each foundation inspection hole, and such logs shall be delivered to the Project Supervisor within 24 hours of completion of the boring. The log shall include the following: (a) The amount of NX or NQ cored per run and the amount recovered. All core loss shall be noted and explained. Clay layers shall be noted and located on the log by depth. (b) The Rock Quality Designation (RQD) for the NX or NQ core. The bedding thickness and degree of weathering shall also be noted.

(c) Location and elevation of holes.

625.33 Storage and Labeling of Rock Cores. Rock cores shall be stored in structurally sound core boxes and shall be protected from the elements. The core boxes shall be properly labeled to indicate location, depth, beginning elevation, Contractor and date, and shall be delivered to the Engineer.

625.34 Reinforcing Steel Cage Fabrication and Placement. The reinforcing steel cage, consisting of the longitudinal bars, ties, spirals, cage stiffener bars, spacers, centering devices, and other necessary appurtenances, shall be completely assembled as a unit, and shall be placed immediately after the shaft excavation is inspected and accepted, and just prior to shaft concrete placement. Temporary internal cage stiffeners shall be removed as the cage is placed in the shaft such that interference with the placement of concrete does not occur. The Contractor shall verify the stability of the reinforcing steel cage. The Contractor shall submit verification calculations to the Engineer for review and approval. Calculations shall be sealed by an engineer licensed in the State of Tennessee.

625.35 Reinforcing Ties, Splices and Clearances. All reinforcing steel in the shaft shall be tied at every intersection and supported such that the steel remains within the allowable tolerances specified herein during placement of concrete or casing removal. The reinforcing steel cage shall have sufficient rigidity to prevent racking or permanent deformations during delivery or installation.

Concrete Cover Shaft Diameter Uncased Casing Remains Casing Withdrawn 3'-0" or less 3" 3" 4"

>3’-0” & <5'-0" 4" 4" 4"

5'-0" or larger 6" 6" 6"

625.36 Spacers. Rolling spacers for reinforcing steel shall be used to minimize disturbance of the shaft sidewalls and to facilitate removal of the casing during concrete placement. Sets of concrete spacers or other approved non-corrosive spacing devices shall be used at sufficient vertical intervals, near the bottom and along the shaft at intervals not exceeding five feet, to

Page 12 of 21

ensure concentric location of the cage within the shaft excavation. When the vertical steel is greater than one inch in diameter, the maximum spacing may be increased to 10 feet. As a minimum, a set of spacers shall be provided within two feet of both the top and bottom of the shaft. In addition, one set of spacers shall be provided at both two feet above and below each change in shaft diameter. Non-corrosive spacers shall be provided at a minimum of one spacer per 30 inches of circumference of cage with a minimum of three at each vertical level to maintain the required reinforcement clearances. The spacers shall be of adequate dimension to maintain the specified clearance between the outside of the reinforcing cage and the side of the excavated hole or casing.

625.37 General Considerations. Accumulations of water in casings and excess sediment at the base shall be removed as described herein before the concrete is placed. No concrete shall be placed until all casings, if used, within a 15 foot radius have been installed. Within the 15-foot radius, all driving or vibratory installation methods shall be discontinued until the concrete in the last shaft has set at least five days. Concrete placement shall begin as soon as possible after completion of the excavation, inspection and setting of the reinforcing cage, and shall proceed in a continuous operation from the bottom of the shaft to the Plans construction joint or above as specified herein. An unplanned stoppage of work may require an emergency construction joint during the shaft construction.

625.38 Placement of Concrete in the Shaft. Concrete shall be placed for each shaft with the flow of concrete directed down the center of the shaft. Concrete shall be placed by free fall or through a tremie or concrete pump. The free fall placement method will only be permitted in dry holes. Concrete placed by free fall shall fall directly to the base without contacting either the reinforcing cage or hole sidewall. Drop chutes may be used to direct concrete to the base during free fall placement.

625.39 Time Limitations. The Contractor shall maintain a continuous pour until shaft is complete. All admixtures shall be adjusted for the conditions encountered on the job so the concrete remains in a workable plastic state throughout the two-hour placement limit. Prior to concrete placement, the Contractor shall provide test results of both a trial mix and a slump loss test conducted by an approved testing laboratory using approved methods to demonstrate that the concrete meets the two-hour requirement. The Contractor may request a longer placement time if a concrete mix is provided that will maintain a slump of 4 inches or greater over the longer placement time in the entire shaft as demonstrated by trial mix and slump loss tests. The trial mix and slump loss tests shall be conducted using concrete and ambient temperatures approved for site conditions.

625.40 Concrete Placement by Tremie. Tremies used to place concrete shall consist of a tube of sufficient length to discharge concrete at the shaft base elevation. The tremie shall have sufficient weight to rest on the shaft bottom before the start of concrete placement and to prevent curling of the tremie line during placement of the concrete. The tremie shall not contain aluminum parts that may come in contact with the concrete. A tremie shall consist of a watertight tube having an inside diameter of no less than 10 inches and fitted with a hopper at the top. The inside and outside surfaces of the tremie shall be clean and smooth to permit both flow of concrete and unimpeded withdrawal during concrete placement. The tremie wall thickness shall be adequate to prevent crimping or sharp bends that restrict concrete placement.

Page 13 of 21

625.41 Tremie Operation. Underwater placement of concrete shall not begin until the tremie is at the shaft base elevation. The discharge end of the tremie shall be constructed to permit the free radial flow of concrete during placement operations. The tremie discharge end shall remain immersed as deep as practical in the concrete, but shall be no less than five feet at all times. The tremie shall be supported such as to permit free movement of the discharge end over the entire top surface of the work and to permit rapid lowering when necessary to retard or stop the flow of concrete. The discharge end shall be sealed closed at the start of work to prevent water from entering the tube before the tube is filled with concrete. After placement has started, the level of the concrete in the tremie shall be maintained above the level of slurry or water in the borehole at all times to prevent water or slurry intrusion into the shaft concrete. If water enters the tube after placement is started, the tremie shall be withdrawn, the discharge end resealed, and the placement restarted. The flow of concrete shall be continuous until the work is completed.

625.42 Removal of Tremie Orifice From Concrete. If at any time during the concrete pour, when using the wet construction method, the tremie line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete surface, the entire drilled shaft will be considered defective. Corrections made by the Contractor will be non-compensable and any effect on time of performance non-excusable.

625.43 Concrete Placement by Pump. Concrete pumps and lines may be used for concrete placement by either the wet or dry construction method. All pump lines shall have a minimum diameter of 5 inches and shall be constructed with watertight joints. Concrete placement shall not begin until the pump line discharge orifice is at the shaft base elevation. For the wet construction method, a plug or similar device shall be used to separate the concrete from the fluid in the hole until pumping begins. The plug shall either be removed from the excavation or shall be of a material that does not cause a defect in the shaft if the plug is not removed. The discharge orifice shall remain at least 5 feet below the surface of the fluid concrete. If at any time during the concrete pour the pump line orifice is removed from the fluid concrete column and discharges concrete above the rising concrete level, the shaft will be considered defective. . Corrections made by the Contractor will be non-compensable and any effect on time of performance non-excusable.

625.44 Adjustment of Concrete Free Fall or Rate of Concrete Flow. If the free fall concrete causes the shaft excavation to cave, the Contractor shall control the movement of concrete by reducing the free fall of the concrete or the rate of flow of concrete into the excavation. The Contractor shall be responsible for proposing, developing, and after approval from the Engineer, implementing corrective work.

625.45 Drop Chutes. Drop chutes may be used to direct placement of free fall concrete down the center of the shaft excavations. Drop chutes shall be a smooth tube constructed either as a continuous one-piece unit or as removable sections. Aluminum drop chutes will not be permitted. Concrete may be placed through either a hopper at the top of the tube or side openings as the drop chute is retrieved during concrete placement

625.46 Construction Joints. Construction joints shall not be utilized unless otherwise approved by the structural Engineer. All planned reinforcing steel shall extend uninterrupted through joints. Surfaces of fresh concrete at horizontal construction joints shall be rough floated

Page 14 of 21

sufficiently to thoroughly consolidate the surface and to intentionally leave the surface in a roughened condition.

625.47 Concrete Curing. Portions of drilled shafts exposed to a body of water shall be protected from the action of water by leaving the forms in place for at least seven days after concrete placement or until the shaft concrete reaches a minimum strength of 3,375 psi. After placement, the temporarily exposed surfaces of the shaft concrete shall be cured to prevent loss of water.

625.48 Construction Tolerances. During excavation of the shaft, the Contractor shall monitor the plumbness, alignment and dimensions of the shaft. Any deviation exceeding the allowable construction tolerances specified herein shall be corrected with a procedure approved by the Engineer. Drilled shaft excavations constructed in such a manner that the concrete shaft cannot be completed within the required tolerances will not be accepted. Correction methods shall be submitted by the Contractor for the Engineer’s approval. Drilled shaft construction shall not begin until approval has been obtained. When a shaft excavation is completed with unacceptable tolerances, the Contractor shall propose, develop and, after approval from the Engineer, implement corrective work. Redesign drawings and computations submitted by the Contractor shall be signed by a professional Engineer registered to practice in the State of Tennessee. The following construction tolerances will apply to drilled shafts unless stated otherwise in the contract documents: (a) Temporary casing diameters shall provide a final shaft diameter as shown on the Plans. When approved by the Engineer, the Contractor may provide a larger casing at the Contractor’s expense. (b) Shafts shall be constructed such that the center of the top of the shaft is within 3 inches of Plans position in the horizontal plane at the plan elevation for the top of the shaft. (c) For shafts in rock, the vertical alignment of a vertical shaft excavation shall not vary from the Plans alignment by more than ¼ inch per foot of depth. For shafts in soil, the vertical alignment of a vertical shaft excavation shall not vary from the Plans alignment by more than 3/16 inch per foot of depth. (d) The bottom of the shaft excavation shall be normal to the axis of the shaft within a tolerance of 3/8 inch per foot of shaft diameter. (e) Shaft steel reinforcing bar shall be no higher than six inches above Plans location or three inches below Plans elevation.

625.49 Integrity Testing. The completed shaft shall be subjected to the testing methods, specified by Plans, such as concrete coring or sonic logging testing, to determine the extent of any defects that may be present. If CSL testing is indicated in the plans, TDOT will supply a CSL consultant to perform the testing. If testing reveals voids or discontinuities in the concrete which indicate that the shaft is not structurally adequate, the shaft will be retested within 3 to 7 days of receiving the initial testing report. In the event retesting confirms the initial test, further measures as specified in 625.50 shall be conducted at the Contractor’s expense.

Page 15 of 21

The placement of concrete in additional drilled shafts shall be discontinued until the Contractor demonstrates the adequacy of the shaft construction method to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any additional work required by the Contractor as a result of shaft defects will be non- compensable and any effect on time of performance non-excusable.

625.50 Concrete Coring. At locations where concrete coring is to be provided, as indicated in the contract documents or as directed by the Engineer, the following will apply. Upon completion of placing concrete and after waiting a minimum of 48 hours, the top surface of concrete shall be cleaned of laitance and any unsound concrete, and then one core hole, or as specified on the plans, shall be drilled completely through the shaft concrete and the rock socket to approximately one foot below the bottom of the rock socket of each shaft. Provisions for the inspection of the concrete surface shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements described herein. Core holes shall be drilled at locations specified by the Engineer. The holes shall be drilled to recover NX (54.7 mm / 2.16 in.) or NQ (47.5 mm / 1.87 in.) size cores. The core samples recovered shall be labeled as to the location from which the samples were taken. The samples shall be delivered to the Engineer for examination. If the cores indicate defective concrete in the shaft, which in the judgment of the Engineer impairs the strength of the completed shaft, the Contractor shall drill additional cores as directed by the Engineer. If the concrete is found to be defective, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in writing a proposal for correction, and those corrective procedures shall be approved by the Engineer before such corrective work is undertaken. The cored holes in non-defective concrete shall be filled with grout such that all voids are filled. Grout shall be non-shrink and obtain a compressive strength equal to or in excess of that specified for the drilled shaft concrete. Grout shall be selected from TDOT Qualified Products List or alternate submitted for TDOT approval. No direct payment will be made for grout and grouting.

625.51 Sonic Logging Testing. If CSL testing is indicated on a project with CEI oversight, the CEI shall supply a CSL consultant to perform the testing. Shafts six feet in diameter and larger require the addition of 3D tomography. Testing will be performed after the shaft concrete has cured as specified in Table 625.51 – 1. The Contractor shall provide reasonable access to the shaft top for performance of the sonic logging testing. Table 625.51 Sonic Logging Time Requirements Shaft Diameter Minimum Cure Time (prior to testing) 4 to 6 ft. 72 hours 6 to 8 ft. 96 hours >8 ft. 120 hours

Installation of Pipes. The Contractor shall furnish and install ≥1 ½” nominal inside diameter steel pipes with 0.145” minimum wall thickness, ASTM A 53, Standard Weight, for use in sonic testing of each drilled shaft. Pipes shall be installed in each drilled shaft at the locations shown on the Plans, as required by the testing agency or as directed by the Engineer. The pipes shall be sufficiently regular and free from defects to permit the free and unobstructed passage of the

Page 16 of 21

probes. The pipe shall be installed such that all internal joints are flush. Stiffening devices such as mandrels, tape or similar material to seal the joints shall not be used. Pipe shall be watertight with clean internal and external faces, the latter to ensure a good bond between the concrete and the pipes. The pipes shall be fitted with a screw-on watertight shoe and cap and shall be securely fixed to the interior of the reinforcement cage with a minimum cover of three inches from the shaft periphery. The pipes shall be as near to parallel as possible, equally spaced and vertical. Where several sections of pipe are required to reach the full length, joints shall be made watertight. The pipes shall be filled with water and plugged or capped before shaft concrete is poured. The upper end of the pipe shall not be left open after the pour. The pipes shall extend at least three feet above the top of the concrete in the shaft to compensate for water displaced by insertion and removal of the transmitter, receiver, and cable. For shafts with a rock socket, the lower end of the pipes shall extend to the bottom of the rock socket. Care shall be taken during the drilled shaft concrete pour to not damage the pipes. If a tremie is used, the tremie shall not be permitted to rest on top of the pipes during the pour. After completion of the sonic logging and final acceptance of the drilled shaft, the Contractor shall fill the access pipes with grout. All cost associated with materials and installation of steel pipes for sonic logging testing shall be included in the cost of Drilled Shaft Concrete. Sonic Logging Equipment. The sonic logging equipment furnished by the CSL consultant shall consist of all necessary supplies, support equipment and power to perform the sonic logging testing requirements as described herein. Sonic Logging Test Procedure. The drilled shaft shall be tested between three and 7 days after concrete placement. The following procedures shall apply: (a) Pipes shall be checked to ensure the pipes are free from blockages and are filled with water. (b) Levels shall be taken on top of each pipe, each pipe shall be plumbed and the length shall be recorded. (c) Testing shall be performed between each pair of adjacent pipes around the shaft perimeter and also in pairing combinations between each pipe with all other pipes in the shaft. (d) All tests shall be carried out with the probes in the same horizontal plane unless the Engineer directs that defects be further evaluated with the probes on different horizontal planes. (e) The probes shall be raised simultaneously from the bottom of the pipes ensuring that all slack is taken out of the cables before the analyzer is switched on, and that the distance between transducers remains constant during the course of the test. The speed of ascent shall be less than 12 inches per second. Measurements shall be taken at three inch intervals or less. Anomalies indicated by longer pulse first- arrival times (FAT) and significantly lower amplitude per energy signals shall be reported. If anomalies are detected, additional tests with two or more sources per receiver vertical offsets of greater than or equal to 20 inches shall be conducted between the same tubes unless the anomaly is within 20 inches of the bottom of the shaft.

Page 17 of 21

(f) The CSL Consultant shall provide accurate measurements of probe depths on the logs.

Record of Testing. Preliminary results of the testing shall be provided on site prior to the CSL consultant leaving the site. A detailed CSL report and test data shall be submitted to the Engineer within seven days. The CSL report shall be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer. The CSL report shall include, but is not limited to, the following: project identification and dates of testing, a table and schematic showing shafts tested with accurate identification of tube coordinates and collar elevation, name of personnel that performed the tests and interpretation and those personnel’s affiliation, equipment used, data logs, interpretation, analysis, and results. The data logs shall include XY plots of FAT, amplitude and velocity versus depth. CSL data shall be processed to provide easy to understand 2D cross-sections between tubes for all tube pair combinations. These plots shall be annotated by the CSL consultant as appropriate to delineate anomalous results. For shafts six feet in diameter and larger, 3D tomography will be required along with CSL testing. If 3D tomography is requested, the data shall be submitted to the Engineer within ten days. If offset surveys are performed as part of 3D tomography, data plots shall include 3D volumetric images for the entire shaft, color- coded, to indicate velocity variations along the shaft. Locations and geometry of anomalies or unconsolidated zones shall be identified in 3D color images with detailed discussion. The results for CSL and 3D surveys shall be based on the percentage decrease in velocity as correlated to the following Concrete Condition Rating Criteria (CCRC). The velocity datum of good concrete shall be established by averaging the velocities in the good concrete along the drilled shaft. Deviations from the velocity datum shall be used for determining the Concrete Condition Rating.

Correction of Unacceptable Results. The CSL consultant shall immediately inform the Engineer of any suspected anomalies, honeycombing or poor concrete quality detected by testing. The Contractor and CSL consultant shall duly perform further tests as directed by the Engineer to evaluate the extent of any detected anomalies. Core drilling, or other investigative methods as approved by the Engineer, shall be performed to further investigate the anomaly. If a defect is confirmed, the Contractor shall bear all costs involved with the shaft coring, grouting and remediation. Within 14 days of the completion of testing, the Contractor shall provide a report signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Tennessee providing the results of the additional investigations and recommendations to accept or repair the shaft. The report shall also contain recommendations for modification of construction procedures to prevent defects for subsequent shaft installations. The dates of the completion of drilling, cleaning, steel placement and concrete pour shall also be provided. Construction above the top of shaft shall not be performed until the shaft has been accepted by the Engineer.

625.52 Drilled Shaft Load Tests. All load tests, when required by the contract documents, shall be completed and submitted to the Engineer for review and approval before construction of any production drilled shafts. The locations of load test shafts, the maximum loads to be applied, the

Page 19 of 21

test equipment to be furnished by the Contractor, and the actual sequence of the load testing shall be as shown on the Plans or as specified in the contract documents. After completion of testing, test shafts not used as production shafts shall be cut off at an elevation three feet below the finished ground line.

If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.

SP1231 SP1231

Sheet 6 of 6 14) The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records.

SPECIAL PROVISION

REGARDING

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PARTICIPATION

The disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 apply to this contract. Accordingly, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 shall have the maximum appropriate opportunity to participate in the performance of this contract or in the performance of subcontracts to this contract. In this latter regard, the Contractor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure that DBEs have the opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts. The Contractor shall not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability in the award of subcontracts.

The Contractor shall submit to the Civil Rights Division Small Business Development Program (CRD-SBDP) copies of any subcontract agreements with DBEs upon execution. The Contractor shall identify all DBE subcontractors at the Preconstruction Conference and indicate the approximate date for each DBE subcontractor’s appearance on the project. Before terminating and/or substituting a DBE subcontractor, the Contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to TDOT’s CRD-SBDP, of its intent to terminate and/or substitute including the reason for the request.

The Contractor shall provide notification to the Project Supervisor at least 24 hours prior to each DBE beginning work. The project supervisor or Inspector must complete a “Commercially Useful Function ” to document the first date of work, work items, equipment, and forces of each DBE. The Contractor shall take full responsibility for the performance of a commercially useful function (CUF) by all DBE subcontractors, manufacturers, and materials suppliers who work on or provide materials for the project.

The Contractor shall provide a monthly payment certification to the Department entitled “Prompt Payment Certification Form.” The Department shall provide the Contractor with the Prompt Payment Certification Form. An officer of the Contractor shall provide an electronic signature to the Prompt Payment Certification Form and return in Excel format via email to [email protected] and to the Project Supervisor concurrently. The Prompt Payment Certification Form shall be submitted monthly beginning no later than sixty (60) days after payment of the first estimate. Payments must abide by the conditions set in T.C.A. § 12-4-707.

Prior to receiving final payment, the Contractor shall provide to the project supervisor and CRD-SBDP certification of the dollars paid to each DBE firm, using Form CC3, “Certification of DBE Accomplishment.” The certification shall be dated and signed by a responsible officer of the Contractor and by a responsible officer of the DBE.

SPECIAL PROVISION

REGARDING

DBE CONTRACT GOAL

All contractors shall pursue affirmative action requirements to encourage and increase participation of firms certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) as set forth in this special provision and in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26. The bidder shall arrange for the percentage of the work specified on the cover of the Proposal Contract to be performed by Tennessee Uniform Certification Program (TNUCP) Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) or otherwise clearly demonstrate adequate good faith efforts as described herein. All payments must follow the conditions set by the most current T.C.A. § 12-4-707.

The Contractor shall take full responsibility for ensuring the performance of a “commercially useful function” (CUF), as defined in 49 CFR Part 26, by all DBE subcontractors, manufacturers, and materials suppliers who work on the project or provide materials for the project.

A. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Policy

The Contractor shall abide by the following provision and include in all subcontract agreements the following provision, which is designed to promote full participation of DBEs as suppliers and subcontractors through a continuous, positive result-oriented program on contracts let by the Department:

The Contractor, sub-recipient or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of U.S. Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. Failure by the Contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or such other remedy as the Department deems appropriate.

B. Counting DBE Participation toward Meeting Goals

The Contractor shall count DBE participation toward goals in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26. If the DBE performs a CUF on the contract including those functions as a SP1247 SP1247 Page 2 of 12 subcontractor, expenditures to a DBE contractor count toward DBE goals. A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of some portion of the work of the contract and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a CUF, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, installing (where applicable), and paying for the material itself. The work performed by the DBE firm shall be necessary and useful to the completion of the contract, and consistent with normal highway construction industry practices in Tennessee. Work performed by a DBE firm in a particular transaction may be counted toward the goal only if the Department determines that it involves a CUF. The determination is verified by the “Commercially Useful Function Checklist” and the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26.

Note: In accordance with 49 CFR 26.55(c), to determine whether a DBE is performing a CUF, the Department must evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, the Department must examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate.

When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. The Department may determine that the firm is performing a commercially useful function given the type of work involved and normal industry practices.

The bidder may count the following DBE expenditures involving a CUF towards the DBE goal:

1. Projects where the DBE is the Prime Contractor – The entire portion(s) of the contract to be completed by certified DBE firm’s own forces will be counted toward meeting the goal. This will also include the cost of supplies and materials obtained by the DBE for the work of the contract, including supplies purchased or equipment leased by the DBE. Items of the contract subcontracted to non-DBE firms will not be counted toward the goal.

Note: If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the Department must presume that it is not performing a commercially useful function.

SP1247 SP1247 Page 3 of 12 2. Portions of a Bid from a Joint Venture – When a DBE performs as a participant in a joint venture, only the total dollar value of the contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the DBE performs with its own forces will count toward DBE goals. A bid from a joint venture between a DBE and a non-DBE Contractor shall include an explanation of DBE commitments on DBE Form 1247A, which must be approved by the Civil Rights Division - Small Business Development Program (CRD-SBDP) prior to the letting. Only the DBE’s portion will be counted toward the goal. Joint venture agreements have to be approved separately from the bid documents, prior to the awarding of the contract.

3. DBE Subcontractors – The DBE subcontractor shall assume actual and contractual responsibility for provision of materials and supplies, subcontracted work, or other commercially useful functions of the items of work subcontracted to them. When a DBE subcontracts part of the work of its contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward the DBE goal only if the DBE’s subcontractor is also a DBE. Work that a DBE subcontracts to a non-DBE firm does not count toward the DBE goal. Cost of materials purchased from or the cost of equipment leased from the non-DBE Contractor will not count toward the project DBE commitment. Prior written approval must be obtained from the CRD- SBDP for any DBE use of the Contractor’s personnel or equipment.

4. DBE Manufacturers – The Contractor may count toward the DBE goal 100% of its expenditures for materials and supplies required under a contract and obtained from a DBE manufacturer only if the DBE operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces, on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the contract and of the general character described by the specifications.

5. DBE Regular Dealers (Material Suppliers) – The Contractor may count toward the DBE goal 60% of its expenditures for materials and supplies required under a contract and obtained from a DBE regular dealer. For purposes of this section, a regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A firm may be a regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone, or asphalt without owning, operating, or maintaining a place of business where such products are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold to the public if the firm owns and operates the distribution equipment for the products. Any supplementing of the regular dealer’s own distribution equipment shall be by a long-term lease and not on an ad hoc or contract-by-contract basis. Any lease containing the terms of the agreement shall be made available to and must be approved in writing by CRD-SBDP SP1247 SP1247 Page 4 of 12

6. Other DBE Suppliers ̶ With respect to materials or supplies purchased from a DBE which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on a job site, toward DBE goals; provided, the Department finds the fees to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services. The cost of the materials and supplies themselves shall not count toward DBE goals.

7. Transportation or Hauling of Materials – The Contractor may count towards the DBE goal hauling in either DBE-owned trucks or in trucks leased to or by DBE firms. The verification of truck drivers employed by DBE firms will continue to be by submission of payrolls independent from any Davis-Bacon regulations. Use the following factors in determining whether a DBE trucking company is performing a CUF:

a. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible on a particular contract, and there cannot be a contrived arrangement for the purpose of meeting DBE goals. b. The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insured, and operational truck used on the contract. c. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the contract using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs. d. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm, including an owner- operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services that the lessee DBE provides on the contract. e. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE that leases trucks equipped with drivers from a non-DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of transportation services provided by non-DBE leased trucks equipped with drivers not to exceed the value of transportation services provided by DBE-owned trucks or leased trucks with DBE employee drivers. Additional participation by non- DBE owned trucks equipped with drivers receives credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement. If the DBE chooses this approach, it must obtain written consent from the Department [CRD- SBDP]. f. The DBE may lease trucks without drivers from a non-DBE truck leasing company. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE truck leasing company and uses its own employees as drivers, it is entitled to credit for the value of these hauling services. g.r Fo purposes of this paragraph, a lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use of and control over the truck. Leases cannot be Department SP1247 SP1247 Page 5 of 12 contract-specific, must be long term, and must be approved by CRD-SBDP. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, so long as the lease gives the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE. h. Prior to hauling, the Contractor and DBE shall provide the project supervisor a complete list of trucks that will be used on the project for DBE goal participation. The Department will provide a form that shall be used by the Contractor and the DBE to identify the trucks. A revised list will be required any time the trucks used changes. The Contractor and DBE must be able to adequately document the actual amount of hauling eligible for DBE goal participation.

8. Contracted Labor / Temporary Employment Agencies – The Department will count the entire amount of fees or commissions charged by a DBE firm for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consultant, or managerial services, or for providing bonds or insurance specifically required for the performance of the contract; provided, however, the Department must find the fee to be reasonable and not excessive as compared to the fees customarily allowed for similar services.

C. Contract Award Procedures

The established DBE goal will be shown on the proposal as a percent of the total amount bid. If the total proposed DBE work submitted with the bid is less than the percentage participation goal set by the Department, the bidder shall, within three (3) business days from the bid openings, either propose sufficient additional DBE participation to meet the goal or clearly demonstrate by documentation that good faith efforts were made to meet the goal.

1. Bidder's Responsibility

It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the level of professional competence and financial responsibility of any proposed DBE subcontractor. The bidder shall ascertain that the proposed DBE subcontractor has suitable experience and equipment to perform a commercially useful function for work that is common industry practice in the Tennessee highway construction industry.

The Contractor shall develop and maintain records of negotiations with DBEs to reach agreeable prices, quotations and work schedules, including but not limited to a record of dates when the Contractor first contacted each DBE.

2. DBE’s Responsibility

SP1247 SP1247 Page 6 of 12 Before bidding and subsequently entering into a contract (as a contractor or subcontractor), the DBE should consider the scope and size of the project, as well as whether it is certified to receive credit for the type of work performed. As with any contract, this is a legally binding document and should be performed to the best of one’s ability. However, should a DBE ever have to withdraw from a contract, it shall provide the CRD-SBDP and Contractor with written documentation. A DBE should only withdraw when there is no other option, as non-completion of its duties may result in temporary disqualification of a prequalified bidder or subcontractor by suspending the privilege of bidding on Department contracts or becoming an approved subcontractor, as outlined in Chapter 1680-05-03 of the Rules of the Department.

3. Proposals with Established Project DBE Goals

For proposals with established project goals, the bidder will be required to complete DBE Form 1247A. The bidder shall list the following information on each DBE Form 1247A that is submitted:

a. The names and addresses of all DBE firms being used or being considered for use under the contract as part of the bidder's DBE commitment; b. The work classification(s) for each DBE on the contract; c. The "Amount to DBE" which has been committed to each DBE firm for use on the contract; d. Written documentation of the bidder’s commitment to use a DBE subcontractor whose participation it submits to meet a contract goal; and e. Written confirmation from each listed DBE firm that it is participating in the contract in the kind and amount of work provided in the Contractor’s commitment.

The completed DBE Form 1247A shall be submitted within three (3) business days after the Letting. Failure to provide a completed form or documentation clearly evidencing a good faith effort, as detailed in Section 4 below, within three (3) business days after the Letting may cause the bid to be rejected as irregular. Only certified DBE firms may be used. Contractor may access certification information by viewing the TNUCP DBE Directory website.

When DBE goal projects are involved and the Contractor subcontracts to a non- DBE, and the non-DBE subcontractor in turn subcontracts to a DBE as a second tier subcontractor, the Contractor must affirm in writing his/her knowledge and approval of such an arrangement. Recognition of a second tier arrangement with a DBE subcontractor for goal work must be forwarded to the CRD-SBDP Director for verification, in writing, prior to any work being performed by the DBE which is intended to be counted toward the goal.

4. Bidder Selection and Good Faith Efforts

SP1247 SP1247 Page 7 of 12 a. Bidders shall submit proposals that meet the DBE goal or shall submit documentation clearly evidencing that they made a good faith effort to meet the DBE goal. Contractors who meet or exceed the contract goal will be assumed to have made good faith efforts to utilize DBE firms. DBE firms who bid as Prime Contractors will be considered to have met the goal.

b. In making a fair and reasonable judgment as to whether the bidder has made adequate good faith efforts, the Department shall consider quality, quantity, and intensity of the different kinds of efforts that the bidder has made. The following list of factors is not intended to be a mandatory checklist, nor is it intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. Other factors or types of efforts may be relevant in appropriate cases. In any event, the Department may consider whether the bidder:

1) Selected portions of the work likely to attract DBE participation. The total dollar value of the portions selected should meet or exceed the contract DBE goal. If it is necessary, the bidder should break down subcontracts into economically feasible units in order to facilitate participation.

2) Provided notice to a reasonable number of specific DBEs, including those not regularly used by the bidder, that their participation in the contract is being solicited in sufficient time to allow them to participate effectively.

3) Provided interested DBEs with adequate information about the plans, specifications and requirements of the contract.

4) Advertised in trade association publications or minority-focused media concerning participation opportunities.

5) Effectively used the services of available minority community organizations, minority contractors groups, local, state, or federal minority business assistance offices, or other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of DBEs.

6) Negotiated in good faith with interested DBEs, including not rejecting DBEs as unqualified lacking sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities.

7) Made efforts to assist interested DBEs in obtaining bonding or insurance required by the bidder.

8) Submitted all quotations received from DBEs, and for those quotations not accepted, an explanation of why the DBE was not accepted including price comparisons. Receipt of a lower quotation SP1247 SP1247 Page 8 of 12 from a non-DBE will not in itself excuse a bidder’s failure to meet the contract goal.

9) Has adequate records of its contacts and negotiations with DBEs.

c. If the Contractor has not met the DBE goal or submitted documentation clearly evidencing good faith efforts within three (3) business days after the bid opening, the Contractor’s bid will be considered non-responsive and may be cause for the forfeiture of the Proposal Guaranty which shall become the property of the Department, not as penalty, but as liquidated damages. The Department then may consider the next lowest responsive bid for award.

As soon as practical after contract award, the Contractor shall submit copies of all binding subcontracts and purchase orders with DBEs to the respective Project Supervisor and to CRD-SBDP.

No progress estimate shall be processed until copies of all binding subcontracts and purchase orders with DBEs have been received.

5. Joint Checking Allowance for DBE

A DBE must receive pre-approval by the Department before using a joint check. Joint check requests shall be submitted by the DBE to CRD-SBDP prior to the subcontract agreement.

The following are some general conditions that must be met regarding joint check use: a. The second party (typically the Contractor) acts solely as a guarantor. b. The DBE must release the check to the supplier. c. The use of joint checks must be a commonly recognized business practice in the industry. d. The DBE remains responsible for all other elements of 49 CFR Part 26.55(c)(1) e. The DBE is not required to use a specific supplier nor the Contractor’s negotiated unit price. f. The DBE shall submit receipt/copy of cancelled checks to CRD- SBDP.

D. Construction Requirements

1. Preconstruction Conference

The Contractor shall identify all DBE subcontractors and indicate the approximate dates for their appearance on the project. The Department will review the contract information to verify the actual work to be performed by the DBE contractors and will review any lease agreements allowed as part of the DBE commitment. SP1247 SP1247 Page 9 of 12 Information submitted shall match Form 1247A.

2. Process for Removal of a DBE

At no time shall a DBE be terminated or substituted without prior written consent from CRD-SBDP. This includes, but is not limited to, instances in which the Contractor seeks to perform work originally designated for a DBE subcontractor with its own forces or those of an affiliate, a non-DBE firm, or with another DBE firm. The Contractor shall utilize the specific DBEs listed to perform the work and supply the materials for which each is listed unless the Contractor obtains the CRD-SBDP’s written consent as provided herein. Absent such written consent, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any payment for work or material unless it is by the listed DBE. The CRD-SBDP may provide such written consent only if it agrees that the Contractor has good cause to terminate the DBE firm, as further described below.

Before terminating and/or substituting a DBE subcontractor on a project that includes SP1247 in the Contract Proposal, the Contractor must give notice in writing to the DBE subcontractor, with a copy to the CRD-SBDP, of its intent to request to terminate and/or substitute including the reason for the request.

The Contractor must then give the DBE five (5) days to respond to the Contractor's notice. The DBE shall then advise the CRD-SBDP and the Contractor of the reasons, if any, why it objects to the proposed termination of its subcontract and why the CRD-SBDP should not approve the Contractor's action. If required in a particular case as a matter of public necessity (e.g., safety), the CRO-SBDP may provide a response period shorter than five (5) days.

If approval is granted for removal, CRD-SBDP will submit a letter to the Contractor and the DBE. Good faith efforts shall then be directed at finding another DBE to perform at least the same amount of work under the contract as the DBE that was terminated, to the extent needed to meet the contract goal established. The good faith efforts shall be documented by the Contractor. If requested by the CRD-SBDP, the Contractor shall submit the documentation within seven (7) days, which may be extended for an additional seven (7) days if necessary at the request of the Contractor, and the CRD-SBDP shall provide a written determination to the Contractor stating whether or not good faith efforts have been demonstrated.

The Contractor has the responsibility to comply with 49 CFR Part 26.53(f) and all applicable policies and regulations.

Reasons for termination and/or substitution of a DBE subcontractor must meet the reasons for good cause as outlined in the current 49 CFR Part 26.53(f), which include, but are not limited to, circumstances in which the listed DBE subcontractor: SP1247 SP1247 Page 10 of 12

a. Fails or refuses to execute a written contract; b. Fails or refuses to perform the work of its subcontract in a way consistent with normal industry standards. Provided, however, that good cause does not exist if the failure or refusal of the DBE subcontractor to perform its work on the subcontract results from the bad faith or discriminatory action of the Contractor; c. Fails or refuses to meet the Contractor's reasonable, nondiscriminatory bond requirements; d. Becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or exhibits credit unworthiness; e. Becomes ineligible to work on public works projects because of suspension and debarment proceedings pursuant 2 CFR Parts 180, 215 and 1,200 or applicable state law; f. Is not a responsible contractor, as determined by the Department; g. Voluntarily withdraws from the project and provides written notice to the Contractor of its withdrawal; h. Is ineligible to receive DBE credit for the type of work required; i. Is unable to complete its work on the contract as a result of death or disability of an owner; and/or j. For other documented good cause, the Department may elect to compel the termination of the DBE subcontractor; provided that good cause does not exist if the Contractor seeks to terminate a DBE it relied upon to obtain the contract so that the Contractor can self-perform the work for which the DBE was engaged, or so that the Contractor can substitute another DBE or non-DBE contractor after contract award.

3. Brokering of work by DBEs is not allowed and is a material breach of contract. A DBE firm involved in brokering of work may result in removal or suspension of DBE certification and/or formal enforcement actions, including civil actions for false claims, suspension and debarment proceedings, or other administrative actions affecting bidder qualifications Any firm involved in brokering of work that engages in willful falsification distortion, or misrepresentation with respect to any facts related to the project shall be referred to the U. S. Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General for prosecution under Title 18, U. S. Code, Section 641. Contractor shall place this provision in all subcontracts with DBEs.

4. The Contractor shall provide notification to the Project Supervisor at least 24 hours prior to each DBE beginning work. A Department Project Supervisor/Inspector must complete a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Checklist to document the first date of work, work items, equipment, and forces of each DBE.

5. The Contractor shall enter monthly prompt payment certification to the Department through external access to AASHTOWare Project Civil Rights & Labor (CRL) The Contractor is responsible for ensuring all subcontractors, any tier, and material suppliers or haulers are registered for access with the Department. In addition, the SP1247 SP1247 Page 11 of 12 Contractor shall require subcontractors, material suppliers, and haulers to review payment information monthly and respond in CRL when discrepancies or disputes are present.

Prompt Payment data shall be submitted monthly beginning no later than sixty (60) days after payment of the first estimate.

6. The Department will hold estimate payment if previously listed information is not submitted. Reasons for non- payment to a DBE could include the following:

a) Whether the DBE is performing satisfactorily; b) Whether the Contractor has reason to believe the DBE is not performing a commercially useful function, and if so, why and what steps the Contractor is taking to rectify the situation.

In the event the Contractor reports questions in relation to prompt payment regarding whether a DBE is independent and performing a commercially useful function and takes appropriate steps promptly to address the issue, then the Department will take this effort into account when considering Contractor compliance measures as described below. Payments must abide by the conditions set in TCA 12-4-707.

E. Post Construction Requirements

Prior to receiving final payment, the Contractor shall provide to the Project Engineer and CRD-SBDP certification of the dollars paid to each DBE firm, using Form CC3, “Certification of DBE Accomplishment.” The certification shall be dated and signed by a responsible officer of the contractor and by a responsible officer of the DBE. Falsification of this certification may result in removal or suspension of DBE certification and/or formal enforcement actions, including civil actions for false claims, suspension and debarment proceedings, or other administrative actions affecting bidder qualifications. The final estimate will not be paid to the Contractor until proper certifications including CC-3 have been made.

F. Required Records

The Contractor and all subcontractors shall retain, for a period of not less than three (3) years after final acceptance of a project, copies of canceled checks or other documentation that substantiates payments to DBE firms. These records shall be available at reasonable times and places for inspection by authorized representatives of the Department and various Federal Agencies. Copies shall be provided to the Department if requested.

G. Contractor Compliance

1. If the Contractor fails to comply with Special Provision 1247 and/or 49 CFR Part 26, resulting in failure to obtain goal where a good faith effort was not accepted, the Department shall take one or a combination of the following steps: SP1247 SP1247 Page 12 of 12

1) The Department may withhold from the Contractor the monetary value of the unattained goal percentage plus an additional 10% for engineering costs, not as penalty but as liquidated damages.

2) Suspend the Contractor from participation in Department bid lettings pursuant to rules promulgated by the Department.

3) For repeated failures to comply, debar the Contractor pursuant to rules promulgated by the Department.

4) Invoke other remedies available by law and/or in the contract.

5) Invoke any other lawful remedy agreed upon by the Commissioner and the Contractor in writing. FHWA-1273 -- Revised May 1, 2012

Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

------

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

(Rev. 01/05/18)

STATE OF TENNESSEE

Sheet 5 of 6

Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

------

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling

(Rev. 01/05/18)

STATE OF TENNESSEE

Sheet 6 of 6 On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
