10.3 Basis of Tender

Unless otherwise specified in the Project Specification, the Contractor shall prepare Tenders on the basis that the entire excavation will be common excavation and will be immediately removed from the site.

The Contractor must also quote unit prices for rock excavation and extra common excavation as defined herein. These unit prices shall include removal of excavated material.

10.4 Material Definitions

All excavated material shall be classed as either “common excavation" or “rock excavation" as defined in the following paragraphs:

(a) Common Excavation

Common excavation will include such materials as are commonly called earth, loam, clay, muck, sand, gravel, gumbo, boulders each less than 1 m³ in void, angular rock fragments, hardpan, pavement, and all other materials of every description not defined as “rock excavation".

(b) Rock Excavation

The term “rock" is hereby defined as:

(i) Solid formations of dense homogeneous sedimentary or igneous material which require, in the judgement of the City's representative, the continuous blasting, drilling or wedging for their removal. In order to qualify for payment under the unit price for rock excavation, material so removed shall measure at least 1 m³ in void within the limits of excavation as defined herein.


SSPEC PAGE-26

(ii) Individual boulders of any type measuring at least 1 m³. Payment for excavation of this type of material shall be based upon the amount in cubic metres of boulders removed within the limits of excavation as defined herein.

The breaking and removing of road or sidewalk pavements or frozen material, regardless of thickness, will in no case be taken as rock excavation.

10.5 Unit Price Excavation

The Contractor will be additionally compensated for any “rock excavation" or extra “common excavation" removed from the trench in accordance with the relevant Unit Price. Measurement for payment of additional or deleted quantities of excavation will be as defined in the “Basis of Measurement" clause below.

If, after obstructions have been proven or after any trench has been excavated, the City's representative should decide to change the depth or location of any trench or structure, the Contractor will be paid for any additional excavation (but not that excavation included in the “Basis of Tender" clause above) according to the volumes excavated, as defined in the “Basis of Measurement" clause below. However, no allowance will be made for any additional excavation unless the change in grade exceeds 150mm.

Similarly, if the City's representative should change the depth or location of any trench or structure thereby reducing the necessary excavation, the cost of deleted excavation will be deducted from payments owing the Contractor; however, no deduction will be made for any deleted excavation unless the change in grade exceeds 150mm.

10.6 Basis of Measurement

(a) Common Excavation

(i) Trench Work

Volume measured in void with the excavation limits set at 75mm below the duct bank sub-grade and 150mm outside each side of the duct bank, including any concrete encasement, as shown on the drawings, except that where the safety shoring recommendations of WorkSafe BC require additional width of trench to install such shoring, then the payment shall be based on these widths.

(ii) Chambers

Volume measured in void with the excavation limits set at 100mm below sub-grade and 300mm outside each side of the chamber outline as shown on the drawings.


SSPEC PAGE-27

(b) Rock Excavation

(i) Trench Work

As excavated – with the excavation limits set at 75mm below the duct bank sub-grade and 150mm outside each side of the duct bank, including any concrete encasement, as shown on the drawings, except that the maximum allowance for width shall be in accordance with WorkSafe BC recommended practices.

(ii) Chambers

As excavated – with the excavation limits set at 100mm below sub-grade and 300mm outside each side of the chamber outline as shown on the drawings.

Where rock excavation is required above the sub-grade of the duct banks or chambers, as shown on the drawings, the Contractor will be paid only at the unit rock excavation price quoted in the Tender. Where rock excavation is required below the aforementioned sub-grades, the Contractor will also receive the unit common machine excavation price quoted.

10.7 Subsurface Structures

The drawings show the available information on the type and location of existing surface and subsurface structures and utilities. Neither the accuracy nor the completeness of this information is guaranteed.

If the location of such a utility is not as shown on the drawings, but requires that the underground structures be installed either above or below the utility, then the only unit price adjustments allowable will be those for additional excavation and backfill.

The Contractor shall be responsible for locating and exposing all buried utility services; building around, under, or over these services, and taking proper precautions against accidental damage; temporary supporting where required and removing such supports upon completion; and maintaining specified clearance between services and the underground structures.

10.8 Removal of Obstructions

After the excavation is opened and all pipes and other obstructions are exposed, the City's representative shall be notified that the excavation is ready for examination. Should the City's representative decide any pipes or other structures excluding pavement at the same elevation as the trench require moving, the expense of such moving will be borne by the City, but the Contractor will have no charge against the City by reason of delay so occasioned, nor shall the Contractor be held responsible for any delay in completion of the work due solely to the above cause.


SSPEC PAGE-28

If the Contractor wishes to temporarily remove, disconnect, or relocate service pipes crossing the excavation to facilitate installation of the underground structures, they shall make their own arrangements with the owners of the service pipes and shall bear all costs of such temporary work. The City will neither guarantee that such temporary work may be done nor bear any cost of such temporary work. Payments for all such temporary work shall be made directly by the Contractor.

Disconnected or abandoned utilities shall not be removed or salvaged without the permission of the City's representative.

10.9 Irregularities in Excavation

All irregularities and cavities in the bottom of the trench or excavation shall be filled up to the required sub-grade with approved backfill material properly tamped in place.

10.10 Adjacent Structures and Properties

Prior to excavation, the Contractor shall consult and cooperate with owners of adjacent structures which may be endangered, or whose gardens, trees, tree roots, and shrubs require protection or alteration during construction, to eliminate future dispute and litigation over that which may already be in a damaged condition. Under no circumstances shall the Contractors permit their forces, materials, and/or equipment to encroach on private properties adjacent to the work, without the express consent of the City's representative. Any survey pins displaced during the construction work shall be reinstalled by a legal surveyor at the Contractor's expense.

10.11 Drainage and Shoring

The Contractor shall, without additional charge, construct such temporary drains or do such dewatering of the trench and chamber excavations as may be necessary to keep water away from concrete work until the concrete has thoroughly set.

Without additional charge, the Contractor shall provide and place adequate shoring as required by WorkSafe BC and as required to protect adjacent paving and structures, and to prevent any sloughing in of material that is under adjacent sections of sidewalk, road pavement, pipes, or ducts.

11. UNDERGROUND DUCTS, CHAMBERS, AND TRANSFORMER PADS

The location, number, and arrangement of ducts, chambers, transformer pads, and service boxes shall be as shown on the drawings. Ducts may be directly buried, concrete encased, or a combination of both as specified on the drawings. The size, shape, routing, and concrete encasement of ducts between terminations may be varied by the City's representative


SSPEC PAGE-29

according to space available in the street or the obstructions encountered as may be determined after the trench is excavated.

12. PROTECTION OF FOREIGN UTILITIES

In the performance of the work, care shall be taken not to move, without consent of the proper parties, any structure, and in crossing or running parallel with any structures they shall be secured in place until the work is completed. Any damage to structures of any kind, caused by neglect to attend to such structures, shall be paid by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall build around, under, over, or through pipes, sewers, culverts, catch basins, or any other structure encountered in the line of the work, or shall divide the ducts so as to lay part on each side either horizontally or vertically or both, of any such structure, as required by the City's representative, and shall supply such materials and make such alterations, substitutions and repairs as may be required for such work. Whenever concrete duct bank is so divided, each part must have a full concrete envelope 75mm in thickness.

13. DUCT INSTALLATION

13.1 URD/UD Class Ducts

It is recommended that excavation for transformer pads be completed and trenching extended from the respective pads. This permits duct bends to be secured and tamped in the pad subsurface and duct laying can proceed therefrom in the excavated trench.

In locations other than where native soil is a fine sandy material completely devoid of rocks or small stones, a 75mm layer of sand shall be placed in the bottom of the trench.

The plastic duct shall be either direct buried or encased in concrete as shown on the drawings. All joints shall be cemented and joined in an approved manner. Duct runs except stubbed off sections shall be terminated with preformed bell ends and plugs. The caps installed on stubbed off service ducts shall not be cemented, however, caps shall be cemented on main runs intended for future extension.

13.2 Feeder Ductbanks

The Contractor shall build complete forms to the full height of, and on each side of every duct bank, before pouring concrete or laying duct. Forms shall be made rigid and shall be adequately braced to prevent bulging or movement. All duct banks shall be poured on a minimum 50mm thick bed of 40mm minus drain rock, supplied and placed by the Contractor without additional compensation.


SSPEC PAGE-30

Duct banks shall be installed in accordance with the following procedure:

(a) After the grade of the trench has been checked by the City's representative, a 75mm base of stiff concrete shall be poured in sufficient quantity that the bottom row of ducts may be laid before the concrete has attained its initial set.

(b) The duct shall be checked for defects in material and structure before being placed in the trench. Any field-cut ducts or bends shall have their inside edges beveled smooth by sanding. The bottom row of ducts shall then be laid, with open ends closed with plugs secured to prevent removal by hand. Any work done to repair or connect to existing transite ducts must comply with approved methods and regulations for working with asbestos cement duct.

(c) For 4-inch and 5-inch ducts, a separation of 45mm, both vertically and horizontally, shall be maintained between ducts by the use of approved separators of the correct dimensions. However, vertical separation shall be increased to 115mm before entering a manhole, unless otherwise noted on the drawings. Increase in vertical separation shall begin a minimum of 6m back from the outside face of the manhole.

(d) The duct joints shall be staggered at least 150mm from neighbouring duct joints in both the vertical and horizontal rows.

(e) After the alignment has been checked by the City's representative, the concrete sheathing and fill shall be poured around the ducts to the level set by the City's representative. The Contractor shall ensure that the correct duct separations and thicknesses of concrete are maintained at all times.

(f) The separators shall then be removed and the holes filled with concrete.

(g) The next horizontal row of ducts shall then be laid and the same procedure repeated until the required section is obtained and the top 75mm concrete sheathing is complete.

(h) The ends of ducts in a run, which will be extended later, shall be staggered and shall extend at least 300mm beyond the end of the concrete envelope. The open ends of these ducts shall be closed with caps cemented in place.

13.3 Mandrelling and Duct String

(a) URD/UD Class Ducts:

SSPEC46 Contaminated Material Management It is anticipated that contaminated soils, including hazardous waste soil, and contaminated groundwater would be encountered during roadway re-construction, utility installations and associated earthwork.

1.1 Definition of Roles .1 Inspector

.1 The City’s inspector will be on-site during the entire excavation and construction process.

.2 The inspector will evaluate the excavated soils to ensure no unusual staining or odors are present. If visual or olfactory observations indicate the possible presence of contaminants, the inspector will immediately contact the environmental engineer. Soil that is suspected to be contaminated must be transported by the Contractor to a temporary storage location designated by the inspector, where it will be evaluated by the environmental engineer as to the nature and level of contamination.

.3 The inspector is responsible for maintaining contact with the environmental engineer when required.


SSPEC PAGE-48

.2 Environmental Engineer

.1 The environmental engineer will periodically visit the site during the excavation and removal of soils from the project. During these visits, the environmental engineer will provide the inspector with instructions and/or guidance on the identification of potentially contaminated soil or groundwater. The environmental engineer will be notified by the inspector if, at any time, there are indications of contaminated soils or groundwater.

.2 During excavation, the environmental engineer will designate soils as below the commercial land use standards (CL-), suspect contaminated soil, or suspect hazardous waste, and will identify to which temporary stockpile site or permitted soil treatment facility the soil will be transferred.

.3 Suspect contaminated soils will be transferred by the Contractor to a stockpile location for storage pending characterization. When appropriate, the environmental engineer will obtain soil samples from the stockpile to confirm or modify the soil classification used in the field, and assist in the evaluation of treatment and/or disposal options for the suspect contaminated soil.

.4 In the case of soils not considered suspect, based on the inspector, but which is considered unsuitable for re-use at the site, the environmental engineer will assist the Contractor in the evaluation of disposal options for the soil, as needed. This assistance may include the collection of soil samples from the soil for preliminary chemical characterization purposes.

.3 Contractor

.1 The Contractor will ensure that the soils are removed in accordance with directions received from the inspector or the environmental engineer, and in accordance with applicable environmental regulations, standards and/or bylaws.

.2 The Contractor is responsible for the transfer of excavated soil to the designated stockpile location or permitted facility according to the soil designation specified by either the Inspector or the environmental engineer. The Contractor will be supplied with truck waybills or manifest forms. The Contractor will ensure that the waybills or manifest forms are completed by the designated permitted facility at the time of soil delivery. The Contractor will ensure that all applicable regulatory requirements are met during this transfer or transportation of contaminated materials. Applicable regulatory requirements may include, but are not limited to:


SSPEC PAGE-49

WorkSafe BC Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation;

Environmental Management Act (EMA), Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR), including amendments up to BC Reg. 4/2014, January 31, 2014;

Environmental Management Act, Hazardous Waste Regulation (HWR), including amendments up to BC Reg. 63/2009, April 1, 2009.

Applicable GVS&DD and Municipal Bylaws.

.3 The Contractor will allow the environmental engineer and the inspector access to the construction site for the purposes of assessing the quality of excavated soils and groundwater. The Contractor should be aware that the assessment of soils and groundwater may delay the excavation and/or material disposal process. The Engineer and/or the environmental engineer will endeavor to keep these delays to a minimum. The Contractor will not be compensated for any such delay.

1.2 Health and Safety The Contractor shall be responsible for developing and adhering to its own health and safety program as required by Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation. Where contaminated soils or ground water are encountered, the Contractor shall be responsible for determining the precautions and the safety measures to be taken to comply with the prevailing bylaws and regulations and site specific hazards.

1.3 Contaminated Soil Management .1 Regulatory Notifications

The Environmental Management Act, Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR) stipulates that a soil relocation agreement (SRA) is required if relocating soil from a contaminated site to a non-registered fill site, and where the chemical concentrations in the soil exceed those standards presented in Schedule 7 of the CSR.

As per the CSR, soil relocation agreements are not required for soil that is transferred to permitted facilities as approved by the environmental engineer.

.2 Permitted landfill and treatment Facilities

Examples of landfill and treatment facility that are permitted to accept certain categories of contaminated soils include the following:

.3 Transfer Procedure

In the event that unusual staining, debris accumulations or odors are identified in the CL-soils being excavated as part of the work, the inspector and/or the environmental engineer will assess the soils using a portable photo-ionization detector and/or visual and olfactory observation. Using these field observations and/or measurements, the inspector and/or the environmental engineer will provide a preliminary classification to the soil for the purposes of segregation and stockpiling.

Suspect contaminated soil and suspect hazardous waste soil will be removed, as required, under the monitoring of either the environmental engineer or the inspector who will generally observe the excavation and transfer of these soils.

The Contractor shall ensure that all appropriate arrangements have been made with the inspector prior to excavation and transfer of suspect contaminated soil and hazardous waste soil. For the purposes of this work, suspect contaminated soils will not require way-billing or manifesting when the suspect contaminated material is transferred to a temporary storage area within 3km away from the work, as designated by the inspector. Suspect hazardous waste will be transported directly to a


SSPEC PAGE-51

designated treatment facility. The Contractor shall arrange for a licensed transporter (carrier) to carry out the removal of the hazardous waste soil to such a facility (consignee) following proper hazardous waste manifesting process. The carrier is required to provide a contingency plan for the transportation of the hazardous waste to the environmental engineer for acceptance.

.1 Testing and Disposition of Stockpiled Soil

The environmental engineer will assess the classification of suspect contaminated soils by collecting and analyzing samples from the stockpiled soils. This classification will be used to determine the appropriate disposition/disposal for the stockpiled soil. Upon classification of the stockpiled soils, the Contractor shall arrange for the transfer of the stockpiled soil to an appropriate disposal facility as designated by the environmental engineer.

1.4 Contaminated Groundwater Management It is anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during excavation and utility installation.

.1 Responsibility for Water Control

.2 It is the responsibility of the Contractor to minimize the volume of precipitation and/or surface water entering open excavations, and to inhibit the water collected in the trench from flowing along the trench. The Contractor will also be responsible for the collection and temporary storage of water from the excavation prior to discharge or transport of the water to an off-site location for treatment and/or appropriate disposal. The Contractor will provide temporary water storage facilities at an onsite location designated by the inspector.

.3 Analysis of Water

.1 Uncontaminated water (surface water inflow or groundwater from areas not anticipated to contain contaminants) could potentially be discharged to the sanitary sewer system, subject to chemical characterization and pending permission and/or approval from the appropriate regulatory authorities.

.2 Non-suspect groundwater that accumulates in open excavations will be tested initially for general chemical parameters considered applicable to the land use along the alignment (as listed in regulatory documents), and will be discharged directly to the sewer, if the water quality meets the sewer discharge criteria, as presented in the GVS&DD Sewer Use Bylaw No. 299, and approval is granted for


SSPEC PAGE-52

such discharge. Chemical testing will be performed initially prior to discharge, and then at a pre-determined frequency, in consultation with the environmental engineer, to confirm chemical concentrations are remaining below acceptable standards. Should the water quality not meet the standards, it will require treatment prior to discharge to the sewer.

.3 In the case of suspect contaminated groundwater, this water will be collected and stored by the Contractor pending the results of chemical analyses. The chemical characterization of the water will determine the appropriate disposal and/or treatment options for this material. Alternatively, a waste management company may be retained by the environmental engineer to collect and treat the water, as it is generated.

.4 The analysis of water samples may take up to seven (7) business days to complete. Faster turnaround times may be available, depending on laboratory availability and the application of surcharges. The turnaround time for analyses will be determined through consultation with the Contractor, the inspector and the environmental engineer. However, at no time should it be expected that the water analyses can be conducted in less than two (2) business days.

.4 Hydrocarbon Products

.1 There is some potential that, in certain areas along the alignment, hydrocarbon products may be encountered associated with either the soil or groundwater. The Contractor will be responsible for maintaining sorbent materials on-site for use in the collection of product. Contaminated sorbent materials shall be appropriately stored and disposed of by the Contractor. The environmental engineer and/or the inspector may assist with the disposal of such materials, as needed.

.5 Criteria for Determining the Disposition of Water

.1 Metal contaminants are suspected in the groundwater. The groundwater will initially be tested by the environmental engineer by collecting a grab sample as it gathers in the bottom of the open excavation or from an on-site excavation water storage receptacle.

.2 Upon receipt of the test results, the environmental engineer and the Contractor will use the following criteria to determine the disposition of groundwater:


SSPEC PAGE-53

.1 The test results will be compared with the sewer discharge criteria in the GVS&DD Sewer Use Bylaw No. 299 and the CSR standards.

.2 Where no parameters associated with the potential contaminants of concern exceed the GVS&DD sewer use bylaw discharge criteria, the Contractor is solely responsible for discharging the water, including the acquisition of necessary discharge permits.

.3 The frequency of sampling and testing of groundwater will be dictated by the permit to be obtained by the Contractor.

.4 If the test results indicate that one (1) or more parameters associated with the potential contaminants of concern exceed the GVS&DD sewer use bylaw discharge criteria, the groundwater will be transferred to temporary storage and/or treatment facilities or be transported to an permitted treatment facility.

.6 Water Treatment Facilities

.1 The Contractor will provide temporary water storage facilities at a location designated by the inspector, as required. The Contractor will also be responsible for discharge or transport of the water to an off-site treatment facility. Groundwater for discharge that contains concentrations of parameters in excess of the GVS&DD sewer use bylaw discharge criteria will be transferred to the water treatment facilities, as directed by the Inspector and/or Environmental engineer, for treatment.

.2 The temporary onsite treatment facilities, if required, may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, equipment such as holding/settlement tanks, carbon and sand filters and a totalizing flow meter. Operation of the onsite treatment facilities, if installed and maintained at the site will be performed by the Contractor.

Measurement and Payment 1.1 Contaminated Soil and Groundwater

The inspector and/or the environmental engineer will provide completed waybills for each truck of suspect contaminated soil and contaminated water above the applicable standards that is to be removed from the site to the designated landfill or treatment facility. Waybills will reference the project and the City’s, Metro Vancouver’s and environmental engineer’s information (including project reference information) so that the receiving facility will have information regarding the origin and preliminary classification of


SSPEC PAGE-54

the material for segregation, stockpiling and/or treatment purposes.

A three-part waybill form will be completed and issued at the site, with one (1) copy of the waybill retained by the inspector and/or environmental engineer, and two (2) copies supplied to the truck driver for transport to the permitted landfill or treatment facility.

Upon delivery of the suspect contaminated material to the designated facility, the facility operator may issue a scale ticket for the material received. The truck driver will provide the facility operator with the two (2) copies of the waybill. The facility operator will complete the remaining portion of the waybill, retain one (1) copy for the facility’s record, and provide the final copy of the completed waybill to the truck driver. The truck driver will then return the final copy of the waybill and/or the weight scale ticket to the site and provide this form to the inspector and/or environmental engineer as documentation that the suspect contaminated materials have been transported to, and have been received by, the appropriate facility.

Quantities of suspect contaminated materials will be measured in tonnes based on weight scale tickets provided by the designated facility and/or the completed waybills. Quantities actually received by the facilities will be verified by the environmental engineer.

Payments for the disposal of the suspect contaminated materials will be managed directly by the City / Metro Vancouver / representative?

1.2 Hazardous Waste

The inspector and/or the environmental engineer will provide a BC manifest for each load of suspect hazardous waste that is to be removed from the site to the designated treatment facility. The inspector and/or the environmental engineer will act as the Owner’s representative (Cosigner). The cosigner, the Contractor’s licensed transporter (Carrier) and the receiving facility (Consignee) will complete the manifest to track the movement of hazardous waste, document type and amount, who generate it, who ship it, who receive it and how it is handled. Quantities actually received by the facilities will be verified by the environmental engineer.

Payments for the disposal of the suspect hazardous waste will be managed directly by the City / Metro Vancouver / representative?
