Exhibit A
BID 9728 Utilities 2023 Pipe Bursting Projects
Page 127 of 135
1.6 MATERIALS:
Polyethylene Plastic Pipe shall be high density polyethylene pipe and meet the applicable requirements of
ASTM F714 Polyethylene (PE) Plastic Pipe (SDR-PR) Based on Outside Diameter, ASTM D1248, ASTM
D3350.
1.6.1 Sizes of the insertions to be used shall be such to renew the sewer to its original or greater than flow
capacity.
1.6.2 All pipe shall be made of virgin material. No rework except that obtained from the manufacturer's own
production of the same formulation shall be used.
1.6.3 The pipe shall be homogenous throughout and shall be free of visible cracks, holes, foreign material,
blisters, or other deleterious faults.
1.6.4 High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) manufacturers recommend minimum wall thickness of SDR 17
for pipe bursting installations.
1.6.5 Material color shall be white, black or as specified by the engineer.
1.6.6 Other pipe materials may be considered, the pipe bursting equipment manufacturer shall be consulted for
feasibility.
1.7 TESTS:
Tests for compliance with this specification shall be made as specific herein and in accordance with the
applicable ASTM Specification. A certificate with this specification shall be furnished, upon request, by the
manufacturer for all material furnished under this specification. Polyethylene plastic pipe and fittings may be
rejected to meet any requirements of this specification.
1.8 EQUIPMENT:
The pipe bursting tool shall be designed and manufactured to force its way through existing pipe materials by
fragmenting the pipe and compressing the old pipe sections into the surrounding soil as it progresses. The
bursting unit shall be pneumatic and shall generate sufficient force to burst and compact the existing pipe line.
See manufacturer’s specifications for what size tool should be used in what diameter of pipe, as well as
parameters of what size tool for percentage of upsize allowed.
The pipe bursting tool shall be pulled through the sewer by a winch located at the either upstream or
downstream manhole. The bursting unit shall pull the polyethylene pipe with it as it moves forward. The
bursting head shall incorporate a shield/expander to prevent collapse of the hole ahead of the PE pipe
insertion. The pipe bursting unit shall be remotely controlled.
The pipe bursting tool shall be pneumatic. The bursting action of the tool shall increase the external
dimensions sufficiently, causing breakage of the pipe at the same time expanding the surrounding ground. This
action shall not only break the pipe but also create a temporary void into which the bursting tool can be winched
and enables forward progress to be made. At the same time the polyethylene pipe, directly attached to the
sleeve on the rear of the bursting tool, shall also move forward.
The bursting tool shall have its own forward momentum while being assisted by winching. A hydraulic winch
shall give the bursting tool a force of constant tension so that it can be moved forward. To form a complete
operating system, the bursting tool must be matched to a constant tension hydraulic winching system.
1.9 WINCH UNIT:
A winch shall be attached to the front of the bursting tool, connecting to or through the advanced guide head
technology. The winch shall provide a constant tension to the bursting tool in order that it may operate in an
efficient manner. The winch shall have twin capstan with twin hydraulic drive motors and twin gear boxes for
independent operation.
BID 9728 Utilities 2023 Pipe Bursting Projects
Page 128 of 135
The winch shall be hydraulically operated providing a constant tension throughout the operation. The winch
shall be of the constant tension type but shall be fitted with a direct reading load gauge to measure the winching
load. The winch must be able to be operated by a remote control if needed.
The winch must automatically maintain a constant tension at a set tonnage reading.
The constant tension winch shall supply sufficient cable in one continuous length so that the pull may be
continuous between approved winching points.
The winch, cable and cable drum must be provided with safety cage and supports so that it may be operated
safely without injury to persons or property.
The contractor shall provide a system of guide pulleys and bracing at the exit pit to minimize cable contact with
the existing line between launch and exit pits.
The supports to the trench shoring in the insertion pit shall remain completely separate from the winch boom
support system and shall be so designed that neither the pipe nor the winch cable shall be in contact with them.
The winch shall have twin capstan with twin hydraulic drive motors and twin gear boxes for independent
operation. In no case shall the winch cable storage spool be considered part of the twin capstan pulling system.
2.0 SEWER SERVICE CONNECTIONS:
All sewer service connections shall be identified and located prior to the pipe insertion to expedite
reconnection. Upon commencement, pipe insertion shall be continuous and without interruption from one
manhole to another, except as approved by the engineer and/or his representative. Upon completion of
insertion of the new pipe, the contractor shall expedite the reconnection of services so as to minimize any
inconvenience to the customers.
Sewer service connections shall be connected to the new pipe by various methods. The saddles should
be made of a material compatible with that of the pipe. Fusion of saddle connection to the main is the
only means of assuring complete leak free joint is obtained.
2.0.1 Electrofusion saddles as manufactured by Central Plastics or approved equal, shall be installed in
accordance with the manufactures recommended procedures.
2.0.2 Conventional Fusion saddles as manufactured by Central Plastics, Phillips Driscopipe, or Plexco shall be
installed in accordance with the manufacturers recommended procedures.
2.0.3 Connection of the new service lateral* to the mainline shall be accomplished by means of a compression-
fit service connection. The service connection shall be specifically designed for connection to the sewer
main being installed, and shall be INSERTA TEE as manufactured by Fowler Manufacturing Co. Hillsboro,
Oregon, (503) 357-2110: or approved equal. Install using procedures and equipment as referenced in
manufacturer's written installation instructions.

2.1 BYPASSING SEWAGE:
2.1.1 By-Pass Pumping: The Contractor, when and where required, shall provide diversion or bypassing for the
pipe bursting/replacement process. The pumps and by-pass lines shall be of adequate capacity and size
to handle all flows. All costs for by-pass pumping, required during installation of the pipe shall be
subsidiary to the pipe reconstruction item.
2.1.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for continuity of sanitary sewer service to each facility connected to
the section of sewer during the execution of the work.
2.1.3 If sewage backup occurs and enters buildings, the Contractor shall be responsible for clean-up, repair,
property damage cost and claims.
2.2 TELEVISION INSPECTION:
Television inspection of pipelines shall be performed by experienced personnel trained in locating breaks,
obstacles and service connections by closed circuit color television. Television inspection shall include the
following:
2.2.1 Pre-pipe bursting videos by contractor.
2.2.2 Post Videotapes to be submitted to the city before final invoice. Normal pipe bursting practice includes
videotaping and evaluation of the existing pipe during the design phase of the project or prior to
commencement of pipe bursting operations. (See Item 2.2.1 above)
2.2.3 Videotapes to remain property of the city; Contractor to retain second copy for his use.
2.2.4 All flows tributary to reach of sewer being inspected are to be completely by-passed around the reach
during inspection if necessary and required by the City.
2.2.5 Post construction videotape upon completion of reconstruction of each reach of sewer with the voice
description, as appropriate with stationing of services indicated. Data and stationing to be on video.
2.2.6 Should any portion of the inspection tapes be of inadequate quality or coverage, as determined by the
City the Contractor will have the portion re-inspected and video taped at no additional expense to the City.
2.3 CONSTRUCTION METHOD:
2.3.1 The Contractor shall install all pulleys, rollers, bumpers, alignment control devices and other equipment
required to protect existing manholes, and to protect the pipe from damage during installation.
Lubrication may be used as recommended by the manufacturer. Under no circumstances will the pipe be
stressed beyond its elastic limit. Winch line is to be centered in pipe to be burst with adjustable boom.
2.3.2 The installed pipe shall be allowed the manufacturer's recommended amount of time, but not less than
four (4) hours, for cooling and relaxation due to tensile stressing prior to any reconnection of service lines,
sealing of the annulus or backfilling of the insertion pit. Sufficient excess length of new pipe, but not less
than four (4) inches, shall be allowed to protrude into the manhole to provide for occurrence. Restraint of
pipe ends shall be achieved by means of Central Plastics Electrofusion couplings (800) 654-3872. The
Electrofusion couplings shall be slipped over pipe ends against manhole wall and fused in place.
Installation of Electrofusion couplings shall be done in accordance with the manufacturers recommended
procedures.
2.3.3 Launch and Receiving Excavations:
Launch pits need to be long enough to properly align the bursting tool with the existing pipe and to allow
the HDPE pipe enough space to begin a graceful "S " Bend out of the pit and transition to a “tail ditch” at
the street above. A good rule of thumb to use for the “tail ditch” is to multiply the depth of the existing pipe
by a factor of 4. The product is an approximate minimum launch pit length plus “tail ditch”.
BID 9728 Utilities 2023 Pipe Bursting Projects
Page 130 of 135
Tail Ditch Example: Existing pipe is 8' deep; 8' depth x 4 = 32' graduating tail ditch.
Note: The tail ditch only needs to accommodate the outside diameter of new pipe.
The receiving pits; however, need to be long enough to easily remove the bursting tool/expander
combination leaving a couple of feet of the HDPE pipe to work with.
A.) Windowing Method
Up to 12" diameter PE pipe, the Contractor shall use the "windowing" method where necessary, to
prevent damage to surrounding infrastructure. This method is described in TT Technologies, Inc.'s
"Pipe Bursting Operation Manual." Both entrance and exit procedures may be conducted.
Underground utility locates must be performed prior to determining the necessity and feasibility of the
"windowing" method.
B.) Tool Removal Back to Starting Pipe via Being Pulled Back Out of the newly Installed PE Pipe
Contractor shall use the GRUNDOCRACK PCG System when an exit pit is difficult due to
underground utility placement or surrounding infrastructure. The PCG System uses a pneumatic tool
with a special head expander. The PCG tool also uses a remote controlled reverse procedure to
allow reversing the GRUNDOCRACK tool for removal back through the newly installed HDPE. In all
cases, the tool must have the ability to operate in reverse to prevent damage to the HDPE during
removal
C.) Service Connections
Excavations for laterals should be to depth of 1 foot below the lateral. This will help to prevent uneven
expansion of the soil by the bursting tool. This will minimize the potential of creating a hump in the
new pipe at lateral connections. In some soil conditions, it will be important to only dig the lateral to
the invert of the host pipe. This will help minimize the potential of creating sags at lateral connections.
These are usually lateral connections where leakage has been occurring for some time causing the
soil to be softer than the rest of the pipeline.
2.4 FIELD TESTING:
2.4.1 After the existing sewer is completely replaced, internally inspect with television camera and videotape as
required. The finished tape shall be continuous over the entire length of the sewer between two
manholes to be free from visual defects.
2.4.2 Defects which may affect the integrity or strength of the pipe in the opinion of the Engineer shall be
repaired or the pipe replaced at the Contractor's expense.
2.5 PIPE JOINING:
2.5.1 The polyethylene pipe shall be assembled and joined at the site using the butt-fusion method to provide a
leak proof joint. Threaded or solvent-cement joints and connections are not permitted.
All equipment and procedures used shall be used in strict compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fusing shall be accomplished by personnel certified as fusion technicians by a
manufacturer of polyethylene pipe and/or fusing equipment.
2.5.2 The butt-fused joint shall be true alignment and shall have uniform roll-back beads resulting from the use
of proper temperature and pressure. The joint shall be allowed adequate cooling time before removal of
pressure. The fused joint shall be watertight and shall have tensile strength equal to that of the pipe. All
joints shall be subject to acceptance by the engineer and/or his representative prior to insertion.
2.5.3 Terminal sections of pipe that are joined within the insertion pit shall be connected with Central Plastics
Electrofusion Couplings or connectors with tensile strength equivalent to that of the pipe being joined.
2.6 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
2.6.1 The inserted pipe shall be paid for per linear foot of the size pipe specified and shall include all pipe
bedding, backfill material, annulus sealing material and launching pits. Locating and reconstruction of

services and all reconnections of services shall be paid for per each connection made, including fittings
and pipe.
2.6.2 The work performed as prescribed by this item will be paid at the unit price per linear foot of sanitary
sewer by pipe bursting/replacement for the specified pipe diameter and location, per each for "Locate,
reconstruct and reconnect" for the specified pipe diameter, which price shall be full compensation for the
installation of the new pipe, furnishing and placing of all materials, labor, tools, equipment, cleaning, and
preparation of the existing pipe to receive the new liner, and any other necessary to complete the project.
2.6.3 Video inspection of final installed pipe shall be paid based on the cost per linear feet to T.V. the entire
length of new pipe.
2.6.4 The cost of any necessary by-pass pumping shall be considered subsidiary to the cost of pipe installation
and shall not be a separate pay item.
