958 The Contractor shall submit the following items to the Engineer for approval:
a.An itemized Bill of Materials for all electrical equipment. This documentation shall show the rating, make, style, type, manufacturer’s catalog number, and National Electrical Manufacturers Association manufacturing standard of each item.
b.A complete wir ing diagrams for the work to be done unless appropriate wiring diagrams are shown on the Plans. This wiring diagram shall be submitted prior to installation of conduit and/or electrical equipment.
c.When requested by the Engineer, the Contractor shall submi t samples of the materials proposed for use.
d.Parts lists, service instructions, and all apparatus warranties packaged with or accompanying the electrical equipment installed on the project. All equipment and materials shall be manufactured to National Electrical Manufacturers Association industrial specification grade standards as documented by the manufacturer and meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. (UL), Standardization Rules of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA, formally known as IPCEA), Electronic Industries Association (EIA), Americ an National Standards Association (ANSI), American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), The American Wire Gauge (AWG),
U.S. Coast Guard Publication, "A Guide to Bridge Lighting," Federal Aviation Administration, “Obstruction Marking and Lighting" AC70/746 0-lF, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), regulations of local power company, and local, state, and federal codes or ordinances.
715.43.3 Certification o f Electrical Equipment: The Contractor shall furnish a Letter of
Certification stating that all electrical materials are in conformance with Contract document. Also, the Contractor shall submit to Engineer all electrical documentation in accordance with MP 715.43.00. 715.44: Blank
715.45 Bentonite :
Bentonite shall meet the requirements of Section 3 of American Petroleum Institute Standard 13A and Supplements. 959 SECTION 716 EMBANKMENT AND SUBGRADE MATERIAL 716.1 -GENERAL : Material for embankment shall be: random material, rock, hard shale, or borrow material. Material for subgrade shall be granular material. 716.1.1 -Random Material: Random material shall be considered as a mixture of any or all of soil, granular mate rial, or soft shale as described which are permitted by the Engineer to be used in embankment. These are materials that can be incorporated in a six ( 6) inch compacted layer. 716.1.1.1 -Soil: Soil material shall be considered as layers or deposits of disintegrated rock, lying on or near the surface of the earth; which has resulted from natural processes, such as weathering, decay or chemical action or a combination of these processes. Material shall be considered as soil when more than 25 percent (25%) by weight of the grains or particles pass the No. 200 sieve. 716.1.1.2 -Granular Material: Granular material shall be considered as natural or synthetic mineral aggregate, such as broken or crushed rock, gravel, sand, or slag. Shale or fly ash shall not be considered granular material. Granular material shall have not more than 25 percent (25%) by weight of grains or particles passing the No. 200 sieve (determined by AASHTO T -11 and AASHTO T -27) and the plasticity index shall not be more than 6 (determined by AASHTO T -90). The plasticity index shall be determined using a separate unwashed por tion of the field sample. Granular material shall not contain particles larger than three ( 3) inches, by visual inspection. 716.1.1.3 -Soft Shale: Soft shale shall be considered as any of the shales, weak sandstone, weak limestone, claystones or silts tones that break down using the following roller test. Rock which breaks down under three complete coverages with a steel drum roller, meeting the following requirement, shall be classified as soft shale to be placed as specified in subsection 207.7.3.2.1 . Smooth drum rollers shall provide a minimum 1.5 tons per linear foot of roller width and drum rollers with any type of feet (sheep’s foot, tamping foot, etc.) shall provide the same minimum of 1.5 tons per linear foot of roller drum width. This criteri a applies to single and multiple drum rollers as well as vibratory rollers with the vibration set to maximum. This criteria shall be calculated for each roller and test combination by dividing the operating weight of the roller in tons by the total measur ed width of the drum in feet, or the total of all drums if more than one drum. This calculation shall be provided to the Engineer in writing prior to the test. The contractor shall provide the roller or rollers and any other necessary equipment for this test without additional compensation. 716.1.2 -Rock: Rock is defined as sandstone, limestone, or concrete that cannot be incorporated in a six (6) inch compacted lift and shall be medium hard or harder. 716.1.3 -Hard Shale: Material that meets the des cription of shale in subsection 716.1.1.3 except that is does not break down under the hardness test shall be considered as hard shale and placed as specified in subsection 207.7.3.2.2 when used as embankment material.
