1.02!DESCRIPTION OF WORK
A.!Work is described in general, non-inclusive terms as:
1.!The project generally consists of dredging, dewatering, hauling and disposal of
settled sediments from surface water sources and water treatment plant residuals to
nearly empty the existing pre-sedimentation basin. The pre-sedimentation basin is
located on-site at O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant, 13101 Leopard Street,
Corpus Christi, Texas (ONSWTP). The approximate quantity of settled sediments and
treatment residuals is estimated to be 28,000 - 44,000 dry tons (DT). This is a unit
price based contract, and the quantity is not guaranteed.
The handling/disposal of solids can be accomplished in one of two options based on
for lower bid price:
Option 1 - Disposal to Cefe Valenzuela Landfill (Base Bid 1):
The Contractors are required to dredge, dewater solids to pass paint filter test and
dispose of residuals at Cefe Valenzuela Landfill. The Contractor will be responsible
for conducting and providing documentation of trip tickets and paint filter tests for
each load at the point of generation, moisture content tests for each load, and all
other testing required by the contract documents or the regulatory requirements.
Special Note: Tipping fees to the landfill is not based on dry tons, and is based on
$12.08/wet tons received at the landfill (wet tons received at the landfill = Gross
Weight (Ton)-Tare Weight (Ton)) that will need to be paid by the Contractor to the
Cefe Valenzuela Landfill and the Contractor is solely responsible for determining the
level and variations in dewatering, calculating the dewatered wet tons to be received
and measured at the landfill and provide a firm per dry ton price in the bid form. Wet
tons value should only used by the contractor to determine tipping fees/dry ton and
include this portion within the dry ton unit price. Contractor further waives any claim
it may have, now or in the future, with regard to variation in wet tons calculated and
actual wet tons. Measurement and payment to the Contractor shall be strictly on dry
ton basis.

SECTION 022020
EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLFOR UTILITIES
1. DESCRIPTION
This specification shall govern all work for excavation and backfill for utilities required to complete
the project.
2. CONSTRUCTION
(1)Unless otherwise specified on the drawings or permitted by the Engineer, all pipeand
conduit shall be constructed in open cut trenches with vertical sides. Trenches shall be
sheathed and braced as necessary throughout the construction period. Sheathing and bracing
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor (refer to Section 022022 “Trench Safety for
Excavations” of the City Standard Specifications).
Trenches shall have a maximum width of one foot beyond the horizontal projection of the
outside surfaces of the pipe and parallel thereto on each side unless otherwise specified.
The Contractor shall not have more than200 feet of open trench left behind the trenching
operation and no more than 500 feet of ditch behind the ditching machine that is not
compacted as required by the plans and specifications. No trench or excavation shall remain
open after working hours.
For all utility conduit and sewer pipe to be constructed in fill above natural ground, the
embankment shall first be constructed to an elevation not less than one foot above the top of
the pipe or conduit,after which excavation for the pipe or conduit shall be made.
If quicksand, muck, or similar unstable materialis encountered duringthe excavation, the
following procedure shall be used unless other methods are called for on the drawings. If the
unstable condition is a result of ground water, the Contractor, prior to additional excavation,
shall control it. After stable conditions have been achieved, unstable soil shall be removed or
stabilized to a depth of 2 feet below the bottom of pipe for pipes 2 feet or more in height; and
to a depth equal to the height of pipe, 6 inches minimum, for pipesless then 2 feet in height.
Such excavation shall be carried at least one foot beyond the horizontal limits of the structure
on all sides. All unstable soil so removed shall be replaced with suitable stable material,
placed in uniform layers of suitable depth as directed by the Engineer, and each layer shall be
wetted, if necessary, and compacted by mechanical tamping as required to provide a stable
condition. For unstable trench conditions requiring outside forms, seals, sheathing and
bracing, any additional excavation and backfill required shall be done at the Contractor's
expense.
(2)Shaping of Trench Bottom.The trench bottom shall be undercut a minimum depth sufficient
to accommodate the class of bedding indicated on the plans and specifications.
133131
Qbhf!2pg!5
Sfw/!4.36.3126
(3)Dewatering Trench.Pipe or conduit shall not be constructed or laid in a trench in the
presence of water. All water shall be removed from the trench sufficiently prior to the pipe
or conduit planing operation to insure a relatively dry (no standing water), firm bed. The
trench shall be maintained in such dewatered condition until the trench has been backfilled to
a height at lease one foot above the top of pipe. Removal of water may be accomplished by
bailing, pumping, or by installation of well-points, as conditions warrant. Removal of well-
points shall be at rate of 1/3 per 24 hours (every third well-point).The Contractor shall
prevent groundwater from trench or excavation dewatering operations from discharging
directlyinto the storm water system. Groundwater from dewatering operations shall be
sampled and tested, if applicable, and disposed of, in accordance with City Standard
Specification Section 022021 "Control of Ground Water".
(4)Excavation in Streets.Excavation in streets, together with the maintenance of traffic where
specified, and the restoration of the pavement riding surface, shall be in accordance with
drawing detail or as required by other applicable specifications.
(5)Removing Abandoned Structures.When abandoned masonry structures or foundations are
encountered in the excavation, such obstructions shall be removed for the full width of the
trench and to a depth one foot below the bottom of the trench. When abandoned inlets or
manholes are encountered and no plan provision is made for adjustment or connection to the
new utility, such manholes and inlets shall be removed completely to a depth one foot below
the bottom of the trench. In each instance, the bottom to the trench shall be restored to grade
by backfilling and compacting by the methods provided hereinafter for backfill. Where the
trench cuts through utility lineswhich are known to be abandoned, these linesshall be cut
flush with the sides of the trench and blocked with a concrete plug in a manner satisfactory to
the Engineer.
(6)Protection of Utilities.The Contractor shall conduct his work such that a reasonable
minimum of disturbance to existing utilities will result. Particular care shall be exercised to
avoid the cutting or breakage of water and gas lines. Such lines, if broken, shall be restored
promptly by the Contractor. When active wastewaterlines are cut in the trenching
operations,temporary flumes shall be provided across the trench while open, and the lines
shall be restored when the backfilling has progressed to the original bedding line of the sewer
so cut.
The Contractor shall inform utility owners sufficiently in advance of the Contractor's
operations to enable such utility owners to reroute, provide temporary detours, or to make
other adjustments to utility lines in order that the Contractor may proceed with his work with
a minimum of delay.The Contractorshall not hold theCity liable for any expense due to
delay or additional work because ofutility adjustments orconflicts.
(7)Excess Excavated Material.All materials from excavation not required for backfilling the
trench shall be removed by the Contractor from the jobsite promptly following the
completion of work involved.

6.7.In-Place Density. In-place density control is required for all mixtures except for thin,
irregular level-up courses. Material should be compacted to between 96% and 92% of
maximum theoretical densityor between 4% and 8% air voids. Average density shall be
greater than 92% and no individual determination shall be lower than 90%. Testing shall be
in accordance withTxDOT Test MethodsTEX-207-F and TEX-227-F.
Pavement specimens, which shall be either cores or sections of the compacted mixture, will
be tested as required to determine the percent air voids. Other methods, such as nuclear
determination of in-place density, which correlate satisfactorily with actual project specimens
may be used when approved by the Engineer.
6.8.Thickness. The total compacted average thickness of the combined HMAC courses
shall not be less than the amount specified on the drawings. No more than 10% of the
measured thickness(es) shall be more than 1/4 inch less than the plan thickness(es). If so, the
quantity for pay shall be decreased as deemed appropriate by the Engineer.
6.9.Surface Smoothness Criteria and Tests. The pavement surface after compaction, shall
be smooth and true to the established lines, grade and cross-section. The surface shall be
tested by the City with the Mays Roughness Meter. The Mays Roughness Value for each
600-foot section shall not exceed ninety inches per mile per traffic lane.
For each 600-foot section not meeting this criteria, the Engineer shall have the option of
requiring that section to be reworked to meet the criteria, or paying an adjusted unit price for
the surface course. The unit price adjustment shall be made on the following basis:
Adjusted Unit Price = (Adjustment Factor) X Surface Course Unit Bid Price
The adjustment factor shall be:
For Residential Streets:
Adjustment Factor = 1.999 -0.0111 M
For All Other Class Streets (Non Residential)
Adjustment Factor = 1.287 -0.0143 M
Where M = Mays Roughness Value
In no case shall the Contractor be paid more than the unit bid price. If the surface course is
an inverted penetration (surface treatment) the Mays Roughness Value observed will be
reduced by ten inches per mile, prior to applying the above criteria.
Localized defects (obvious settlements,humps, ridges, etc.) shall be tested with a ten-foot
straightedge placed parallel to the roadway centerline. The maximum deviation shall not
136535
Qbhf!8pg!9

satisfaction of the Engineer.
Pavement areas having surface irregularities, segregation, raveling or otherwise deemed
unacceptable by the Engineer shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor in a manner
approved bythe Engineer, at no additional cost to the City.
6.10.Opening to Traffic. The pavement shall be opened to traffic when directed by the
Engineer. The Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that all construction traffic
allowed on pavement open to the public will be subject to the State laws governing traffic on
highways.
If the surface ravels, it will be the Contractor's responsibility to correct this condition at his
expense.

Code (NESC), as well as common sense in order to avoid death and destruction it is serious business.

property has nothing to do with death and destruction. Awareness of allowable safe daily operations
activities, allowable transient activities, and allowable permanent activities (very few), as well as
awareness of disallowed activities that would cause an immediate or evolving or long-term unsafe
condition is critical to avoiding death and destruction.
Of primary importance in respecting the easement is the establishment and maintenance of a particular
ground line. That line has been established and it cannot be raised, not even temporarily. The power
that is based on the design is entirely dependent on the maintenance of a particular ground line the
one surveyed to support design of the high voltage conductor system (poles/lines-including temperature
sag and wind drift). For example, if a temporary spoils pile (from pipeline trench excavation possibly)
that is 10 feet tall is placed under the line, and a 6 foot tall worker stands on top of the pile, the worker
permanent changes to the ground line are allowed. It is helpful to visualize the danger zone around
each conductor, especially the lowest one, as a tube around each wire. The tube can be as much as
n the wind, the danger zone dances and
moves in the wind as well. Coming into that danger zone under the right conditions will mean being
zapped with 138 kV, which will not only kill the person but also set fire to the ground around him.
No structures of any type are allowed within the easement. No temporary structures and no permanent
structures. Structures can be built anywhere else on the 90 acres of O.N. Stevens WTP, just not in the
easement. The Raw Water Influent structures will be built near the easement, and will rise vertically
alongside the easement, but they will be outside of the easement. Since AEP designed the easement to
NESC standards, it will be safe to build the Raw Influent Structures in this manner, as the structures will
be entirely outside of the ROW, so also entirely outside of the unsafe area around the conductor. AEP
obtains ROW and keeps it clear, specifically to help respect the danger zone. However, during
construction, the Raw Influent contractor will have to take precautions that their power shovel operator
or backhoe operator or crane operator does not swing their boom into the unsafe area, or there will
likely be death and destruction to the operator, the equipment, and anyone around on the ground.
The first thing AEP will ask when coordinating construction activities with their ROW department is how
high is the highest knuckle on the boom of your equipment? If the knuckle is shorter than the danger
zone, they will assume you will live, but caution you just the same. If the knuckle on your excavation
equipment is taller than the safe design allows for that particular line, they will disallow that equipment
on the project in order to restrict construction operations to a particular height to try to prevent death
and destruction.
On O.N. Stevens WTP property, AEP designed the proposed poles as tall as they could to allow the most
operational flexibility to the City, either daily or during construction. We have been told it is safe to
or O.N. Stevens WTP. Normal operations
should be allowed, as an 18-crane
boom stowed for transport,
does
structure (temporary or permanent) potentially death and destruction. That is why the easement
conditions expressly disallow any structures, temporary or permanent, in the easement. Any equipment
that a contractor brings onto O.N. Stevens WTP, as long as it is stowed properly for transport, can likely
pass under the lines on the Contractor Entrance Road without any problems. It should not be a practice
to park, exercise, lay-out, or do anything with equipment or materials under the lines. Some of those
activities are allowed, but many have conditions on them. To avoid having to police operations, or to
become lackadaisical in allowing a temporary condition to become permanent, it will be best to write
some rules for O&M in and around the easement to prevent death and destruction.
AEP High Voltage Power Easement from O.N. Stevens WTP to the Nueces River Pump Station:
The AEP easement from O.N. Stevens WTP to the River Pump Station is an entirely different animal. It
will have a much lower safe zone than on the plant property, as the lines and poles are older and lower.
The easements are with many different private land owners. I have examined those easements with
AEP ROW for the City in the past. It will be cost prohibitive for AEP to do anything differently with their
lines, so the challenge will be for any pipe installation to respect all the safe zones under those older
lines. If the City wanted to pay AEP to do something different, it would likely be in the $10s of millions
($10mil-$30mil). The safest way to understand the challenges under those lines would be to survey
them in their current state to insure the proper NESC standoff distances can be respected during
construction to avoid death and destruction. During MRP1 construction in 1998, an AEP safety officer
was on hand during all construction to enforce safe practices under the lines. As these lines are older,
and the ground clearances may vary, a rule of thumb assumed safe area under the lines
on ONSWTP) could be misleading and deadly. It is highly likely that the ground profile has changed
under these lines over the last half-century, so any original design assumptions would now require
verification through survey. The particular challenge for installation of a fourth pipeline in the easement
is that the current pipelines are between (2) AEP high-voltage lines. If the new pipes are to be buried
alongside the existing pipes, the contractor will have to pass equipment under at least one line to access
the area where the current pipes are buried. This easement is narrow and crowded both inside it
(between the power lines) as well as outside of it (homes and businesses). Early coordination with AEP-
Texas ROW is advised to insure the project moves smoothly. Even though it would require a new
easement for the City, it may be desirable to take a different route to the plant, perhaps for redundancy
and strategic security. The starting point for understanding the requirements that will be set by AEP
ROW is a meeting with AEP-ROW. A careful study of the NESC would provide the context for
understanding AEP ROW requirements, which have the primary goal of avoiding death and destruction.
lawsuits from thousands of businesses and individuals affected by the outage. The contractor would
also be dead, so more lawsuits. These lines are so critical to the statewide grid in the summer and
winter months, that official clearance (permission to turn off the lines momentarily to tie-in a new line)
can only be granted in the cool months of the fall and spring (October or April) when not very much AC
or Heat is being used. Much of any required line work is done by bare-handers for AEP without
clearance, out of necessity.

Attn: Mr. Jeff Edmonds. P.E. Corpus Christi
Texas
City of Corpus Christi
The Geotechnical Engineer states that the findings contained herein have been presented after being
prepared in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by reputable members
of the Geotechnical Engineer’s profession practicing contemporaneously under similar conditions in the
locality of the project. RETL operates in general accordance with “Standard Practice for Minimum
Requirements for Agencies Engaged in the Testing and/or Inspection of Soil and Rock as Used in
Engineering Design and Construction”, (ASTM D 3740). No other representations are expressed or
implied, and no warranty or guarantee is included or intended.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the City of Corpus Christi for the specific application
to the proposed ONSWTP – Sedimentation Basin Sampling & Analyses project located in Corpus Christi,
Texas.
Scope of Field Exploration
The field exploration included reconnaissance of the project site, performing five (5) test borings and
recovering disturbed soils samples to describe the soil and groundwater conditions, and to perform
laboratory testing on selected soil samples. The depths and approximate coordinates of the borings are
summarized below:

Note:
1- Approximate mudline depth is the distance measured from the free water surface to the top of
sediment.
The client determined the number, depth and location of the borings. RETL performed the sampling and
logging operations.
At the boring locations a Russian Peat Borer (sediment sampler) was utilized to collect the samples of the
sediment at prescribed depths. This type of sampler is advanced to the target sampling depth, where it is
then rotated to initiate the sampling during which time the pivotal cover plate cuts out a segment of
sediment at that depth.
All soil samples were placed in plastic bags, marked according to boring number, depth and any other
pertinent field data, stored in special containers and delivered to the laboratory for testing.
Upon completion of the sampling operations the test holes were left to collapse and close by themselves.
Field Tests and Observations
Water Level Observations – Depth to mudline measurements were obtained during the test boring
operations. These depths are noted on the boring logs provided in the Appendix.
Water Level and Mudline Elevations – The water level and mudline elevations at the boring locations
were not surveyed or provided, therefore, depths referred to in this letter report are from the top of water
at the boring locations during the time of our field investigation.

Laboratory Testing Program
In addition to the field investigation, a laboratory testing program was conducted to determine additional
pertinent engineering characteristics of the subsurface materials.
The laboratory testing program included supplementary visual classification (ASTM D2487) on the
samples. In addition, selected samples were subjected to water content tests (ASTM D2216), Atterberg
limits tests (ASTM D4318), percent material finer than the #200 sieve tests (ASTM D1140), particle-size
distribution of soils using sieve analysis (ASTM D6913) and hydrometer (ASTM D7928), and specific
gravity of soil solids by water pycnometer (ASTM D854).
The type of testing and the samples selected to be tested were proposed by RETL. The laboratory testing
program was conducted in general accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications. The results of these
tests are to be found on the accompanying Boring Logs and the test results provided in the Appendix.
Soil Conditions
The generalized soil conditions encountered at the project site have been summarized and soil properties
including soil classification, fines content, and plasticity are provided in the following table.
Sediment Characteristics Table
Description w LL PL PI -#200 SG
Fat CLAY 260-578 200-341 47-85 153-256 97-99 2.577-2.628
Where:
w = Moisture content (%) D = Depth below existing grade (feet)
LL = Liquid limit (%) PL = Plastic limit (%)
PI = Plasticity index (%) -#200 = Material passing #200 sieve (%)
SG = Specific gravity of solids (non-dimensional)
Detailed descriptions of the soils encountered at the boring locations are provided on the boring logs
included in the Appendix.
Discussion
The laboratory test results indicate that the moisture content (w) of the soils samples ranges from 260 to
676 percent. This means that the weight of the water in the soil samples is approximately 2.6 to 6.8 times
the weight of the solid part of the soil. Similarly, the void ratio (e) of the soil samples ranges from 6.8 to
15.9, with an average value on the order of 12.3. In terms of volume this means that the volume of water
in the soil samples is approximately 12 times the volume of solids in the soil. These numbers indicate that
the sediments in the basin are in a slurry form, with the soil solid parts suspended in water.
There are additional soil properties that were measured in the laboratory that corroborate the “liquid” state
of the soil. From the plasticity point of view, the liquid limit (LL) of the soil is defined as the lowest moisture
content of the soil at which it flows like a liquid. The average moisture content (w) of the soil samples is
on the order of 70 percent higher than the average liquid limit (LL), which means that the soil has
approximately 70 percent more water that the water needed for the soil to behave like a liquid, with very
low shear strength.

It should be noted that the high liquidity index values could be somewhat of a result of dredging disturbance
which has been in progress. However, some of the lower lying sediment samples exhibited similarly high
liquidity index values and may not have been disturbed during dredging. The presence of certain types of
clay minerals can also produce very high liquid and plastic limits while the presence of organics can also
contribute to higher liquid and plastic limits. Additional testing to determine the organic content and/or
identification of clay mineral types present were not part of this scope.
Based on observations made in the field and during the laboratory testing, as well as the results of the
laboratory testing, it appears that for each cubic yard of sediment dredged in the pond, approximately 92
percent is anticipated to be water and about 8 percent is expected to be solids.
SedimentEstimates
Based on the plan view and cross sections included in Ardurra’s draft drawing titled “February 2022 Survey
Pre-sedimentation Basin”, dated February 22, 2022 (included in the Appendix), RETL estimated the total
volume of sediment in the pond(prior to bid) to be on the order of 280,000 to 290,000 cubic yards. This
TM
estimated amountis approximateand was determined byoverlaying the plan view on Google Earth,
rdrdrd
sectioning the reservoir into four areas(North 3, West 3, South 3and Slope Area), determining the
watervolume of each area, the sedimentvolume of each area using an averageof the sedimentcontours
provided, and using a weighted averageto determine the sediment volume within the sloped area.
Upon obtaining the estimated volume of sediment in the basin, and considering the percent soil solid in
the sediment, the volume of solids comprising the sediment is estimated to be in the range of 604,800 to
626,400 cubic feet. Using an average specific gravity of soil solids of 2.574, as determined from the soil
samples taken during our field exploration, the total corresponding dry weight of solids in the pond is on
the order of 48,570to 50,305 tons.
Closing
Pursuant to instructionsby the client, no engineering analyses have been performedfor this project.
Unless notified to the contrary all soil samples will be disposed of 3months after issuance of this report.
Often, because of design and construction details that occur on a project, questions arise concerning soil
conditions and Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory,LLC. (RETL) (TBPE Firm No. 2101) would be
pleased to continue its role as the Geotechnical Engineer during project implementation.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. Please call us if you have any
