Unless otherwise indicated on the Bid Form, the measurement and payment for the work specified in this Section shall be as follows:
A. 
Sanitary Sewer Pipe.
Measurement and payment will be by the linear foot for each size sanitary sewer pipe required including service line, without deductions for space occupied by manholes. Gravity sewer line classification will be established according to the depth of cut that is required in bid form. The unit price per linear foot for various sizes, types, and depths of sanitary sewer shall include compensation for furnishing all equipment, tools, materials and labor necessary to construct the sewer and place in the backfill, including the disposal of surplus excavated material, in compliance with the plans and specifications. The unit price shall also include connections with existing sewers and between non-compatible new pipe and costs for the appropriate tests to be conducted. Unless it is specified as a bid item, no compensation shall be given for rock excavation, bedding, backfill, or clearing and grubbing. There will be no separate payment for conductive trace wire required on force mains.
B. 
Manholes.
Measurement of standard manholes will be taken at the center of the manhole, from the invert to the rim of the frame. Payment for standard manholes shall be at the contract unit price per each including manholes six (6) feet or less in depth, complete in place, according to the diameter. Payment for extra depth of standard manholes more than six (6) feet in depth will be paid for according to the diameter, on the basis of the unit contract price per foot of depth in excess of six (6) feet, as actually constructed. The unit price shall include compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals and performing all work necessary for the completion of the manholes in accordance with the provisions of the plans and these specifications.
C. 
Cleanouts.
Cleanouts for both the main lines and service lines shall be measured for payment per each, complete in place, regardless of depth. Payment will be made at the unit contract price for the furnishing of all labor, tools, equipment, pipe fittings and incidental materials necessary to complete the work including earth excavation and disposal of surplus materials and backfill as specified and shown on the plans. All pipe required for constructing cleanouts shall be paid for on a linear foot basis.
D. 
Drop Connections.
Drop connections will be measured per each and shall be paid for at the unit price per each installed for drop connections five (5) feet height or less measured from the flowline of the sewer main to the flowline of the drop pipe at the manhole wall. Payment for extra depth of drop connections over five (5) feet will be per vertical foot of height as constructed.
E. 
Service Connections.
Service connections shall consist of installing a wye fitting or saddle on the main line including tie-in to customer’s service line and shall be measured per each and paid for at the unit price bid per each.
F. 
Testing.
There will be no separate payment made for testing sanitary sewers, but the testing will be included in the unit cost bid for sanitary sewer pipe.
G. 
Casing Spacers:
There will be no separate payment for casing spacers.
H. 
Valves:
There will be no separate pay for valves (including operator extensions, valve boxes and handwheel operators) unless otherwise indicated in the bid form.

The pipe manufacturer shall furnish copies of a certification that the pipe is in full compliance with the commercial standards applicable to the pipe specified. The manufacturer shall furnish copies of data showing the physical properties of the pipe. Properties should include normal bursting pressure, manufacturer’s maximum working pressure, physical dimensions, and tolerances. The City of Magnolia, Engineer or the designated representative of the Engineer shall determine the number of copies of submittals that are required to be submitted for review and approval.
(Ordinance 2007-106, App. B, adopted 3/20/07)
The Contractor shall notify the Engineer or the designated representative of the Engineer of pipe delivery to the job site in advance in order to allow inspection of the pipe by the Engineer or the designated representative of the Engineer prior to unloading of the pipe. Store pipe on a flat surface away from sunlight and heat. Do not stack bundles of pipe. Use a tarp to cover all pipe left for prolonged periods of time.
