Locating Underground Cable Art. 803.02 At the end of a successful 30-day monitoring period, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a monitoring log for the items covering the 30-day period. The Contractor shall utilize the system software capabilities to store and generate monitoring logs, if a Closed Loop system is being installed or modified. Upon review of the logs and further performance testing to the satisfaction of the Engineer, he/she will issue a Signal Acceptance Notice/Signal System Acceptance Notice or notify the Contractor in writing of the deficiencies.
801.16 Record Drawings. Alterations and additions to the electrical
installation made during the execution of the work shall be neatly and plainly marked in red by the Contractor on the full-size set of record drawings kept at the Engineer’s field office for the project. These drawings shall be updated on a daily basis and shall be available for inspection by the Engineer during the course of the work. The record drawings shall include all plans, details, notes, schedules, single line diagrams, etc., applicable to the electrical work and other information useful to locate and maintain the electrical system. As part of the record drawings, the Contractor shall inventory all materials, new or existing, on the project and record information on inventory sheets provided by the Engineer. Upon request, a full-size set of reproducible drawings of the lighting work will be made available to the Contractor for the purpose of compliance with these requirements. When the work is complete, and seven days before the request for a final inspection, the full-size set of contract drawings, stamped “RECORD DRAWINGS”, shall be submitted to the Engineer for review and approval and shall be stamped with the date and the signature of the Contractor’s supervising Engineer or electrician. The Contractor shall provide two sets of electronically produced drawings in a moisture proof pouch to be kept on the inside door of the controller cabinet or other location approved by the Engineer. These drawings shall show the final as-built circuit orientation(s) of the project in the form of a single line diagram with all luminaires numbered and clearly identified for each circuit. SECTION 802. RESERVED SECTION 803. LOCATING UNDERGROUND CABLE
803.01 Description. This work shall consist of determining the exact
locations of all underground electric cable and electric conductors in conduit owned and maintained by the Department, which are in possible conflict with construction operations, to protect them from damage. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
803.02 General. Any prints from microfilm or any information shown on the
plans for existing underground electrical facilities owned and operated by the Department are intended to show electrical circuitry only, and are not intended to show exact locations of cable or conduits. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the exact location of any such existing underground electric cable or Art. 803.02 Electrical Service Installation - Lighting electric conductors in conduit that are within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the limits of any excavation or penetration relative to the construction work that could interfere with the underground facilities. Plans of existing Department owned electrical facilities may be available in the District Office in which the construction is located. Prints of applicable plans will be provided to the Contractor upon request, if available. The Contractor shall take whatever precautions to protect the electric cable or electric conductors in conduit from damage during location and construction operations. In the event that the wiring is damaged, the Contractor shall replace the entire length of cable or conductors in conduit, in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Splicing below grade will not be permitted. In the event the repairs are not made by the Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the Department for such repairs within 60 days of receiving written notification of said damage. Otherwise, the cost of such repairs will be deducted from monies due or which will become due the Contractor under the terms of the contract. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is determined prior to any construction that existing electrical wiring at a particular location is such that damage to said wiring is impossible to avoid, the Contractor shall relocate that segment of the existing wiring to avoid his/her operations as directed by the Engineer.
803.03 Method of Measurement. This work will be measured for payment in
feet (meters) in place for each single buried insulated cable containing multiple conductors, or for each single buried conduit containing multiple cables located within an area extending 5 ft (1.5 m) outside the limits of excavation or penetration in each direction. This work will be measured for payment at a specific work location only one time.
803.04 Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price
per foot (meter) for LOCATING UNDERGROUND CABLE, which price shall include locating each cable, or conduit and protecting it from damage during location and construction operations. If the Contractor is requested to relocate a segment of cable or conduit at a specific work location to avoid construction operations, this work will be paid for according to Article 109.04. Only that work requested in writing by the Engineer will be paid for. SECTION 804. ELECTRICAL SERVICE INSTALLATION - LIGHTING
804.01 Description. This work shall consist of installing, modifying, or
extending an electric service installation.
804.02 Materials. Materials shall be according to the following.
Item Article/Section
a.Conductors ........................................................................................ 1066.02
b.Cable Insulation ................................................................................. 1066.03 Electrical Service Installation - Lighting Art. 804.04
c.Wood Pole (Note 1) ........................................................................... 1069.04
d.Electric Service Installation - Lighting ................................................. 1086.01
e.Electrical Raceway Materials ............................................................. 1088.01 Note 1. The pole shall be Class 5. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
804.03 Utility Coordination. The Contractor shall contact and coordinate
both the work required and the timing of the installation with the electric utility. In the event of delay by the utility, no extension of time will be considered applicable for the delay unless the Contractor can produce evidence that a written request(s) for electric service has been sent to the utility. The initial written request must be dated no later than 30 days from contract execution.
804.04 Installation. The electric service installation shall extend from the
existing utility owned transformer to the point of cable termination of the incoming power to the controller enclosure. The Contractor shall ascertain the work being provided by the electric utility and shall provide all additional material and work required to complete the electric service installation while meeting the requirements of the utility. Unless otherwise required by the utility, grounding shall be according to Section 806, raceways shall be according to Sections 810 – 812, and conductors shall be according to Sections 817 – 818. The electric service installation shall include an appropriate service disconnect and when required, metering. Metering shall include all metering material including potential and current transformers. The metering and service disconnect shall be installed remote to the controller enclosure where possible. The total length of aerial and underground service between the controller enclosure and utility transformer shall not exceed 250 ft (76 m). The service pole or structure and controller shall be located adjacent to the right-of-way line or a minimum distance of 30 ft (9 m) from edge of pavement. The exact location will be established by the Engineer. Specific requirements for aerial and underground electric service installations shall be as follows.
a.Aerial Electric Service. The aerial service shall be mounted on a wood pole, along with a weatherhead, disconnect switch, meter base (if required), and all appurtenances to complete the installation. The wood pole shall be installed according to Article 830.03(c), except the pole shall be a minimum of 25 ft (7.5 m) in length and shall be increased as necessary to maintain ground clearance.
