trapping device, or both, and discharged in a manner that does not adversely affect
flowing streams or property beyond the contract limits.
3.4.3.2 Vegetation and Mulch
Provide temporary protection on sides and back slopes as soon as rough grading is
completed or sufficient soil is exposed to require erosion protection. Permanent or
temporary stabilization (PS & TS) shall be applied to denuded areas within seven days
after final grade is reached on any portion of the site. Temporary soil stabilization shall
be applied within seven days to denuded areas that may not be a final grade but will
remain dormant (undisturbed) for longer than 30 days. Permanent stabilization shall be
applied to areas that are to be left dormant for more than one year. Temporary vegetative
cover shall consist of seeding as scheduled on the drawings. Temporary vegetative cover
may be eliminated in favor of the permanent vegetative cover if site conditions permit
and the Architect/Engineer so directs. Protect slopes by accelerated growth of permanent
vegetation, temporary vegetation, mulching (MU), or netting. Stabilize slopes by
hydroseeding, anchoring mulch in place, covering with anchored netting, sodding, or
such combination of these and other methods necessary for effective erosion control.
Provide new seeding where ground is disturbed. Include topsoil (TO) or nutriment
during the seeding operation necessary to establish a suitable stand of grass. The seeding
operation shall be as specified on the Drawings.
3.4.3.2.1 Stockpile Treatment
Material such as topsoil, waste, spoils, sand and other erodible materials which are to be
stockpiled for use or later disposal shall be located away from streams, drainage ditches
and other waterways. Such stockpiles shall have slopes no steeper than a 2:1 ratio and
shall be protected against erosion with temporary vegetation, covers, and silt fencing
around the stockpile. Removal of material from such stockpile shall be done from the

HRPDC Regional Construction Standards.
3.3 LAYING PIPE IN TRENCHES
Lower pipe into trench using handling equipment designed for the purpose to assure safety
of personnel and to avoid damage to pipe. Do not drop pipe. Chains will not be
permitted. Lay pipe proceeding upgrade with the bell or groove pointing upstream. Lay
pipe to a true uniform line with the barrel of the pipe resting solidly in pipe bedding
material throughout its length. Excavate recesses in pipe bedding material to
accommodate joints, fittings and appurtenances. Do not subject pipe to a blow or shock to
achieve solid bearing or grade. Lay each section of pipe in such a manner as to form a
close concentric joint with the adjoining section and to avoid offsets in the flow line.
Clean and inspect each section of pipe before joining. Assemble to provide tight, flexible
joints that permit movement caused by expansion, contraction, and ground movement.

installed as to line and grade in place. Correct deviation from grade immediately. A
deviation from the designed grade as shown on the Contract Drawings, or deflection of
pipe joints, will be cause for rejection. Place sufficient backfill on each section of pipe, as
it is laid, to hold firmly in place. Clean interior of the pipe as work progresses. Where
cleaning after laying is difficult because of small pipe size, use a suitable swab or drag in
the pipe and pull forward past each joint immediately after the jointing has been
completed. Keep trenches and excavations free of water during construction. When the
work is not in progress, and at the end of each workday, securely plug open ends to
prevent trench water, earth, or other substances from entering the pipes or fittings.

3. EXECUTION
3.1 VERIFICATION OF CONDITIONS
Ensure that roof deck is smooth, clean, dry, and without loose knots.
3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
Cover knotholes and cracks with sheet metal nailed securely to sheathing. Flash and
secure vents and other roof projections, and drive projecting nails firmly home.
3.3 APPLICATION
Apply roofing materials as specified herein unless specified or recommended otherwise
by shingle manufacturer's written instructions.
3.3.1 Underlayment
Provide for roof slopes 4 inches per foot and greater. Provide a 19 inch wide strip as
starter sheet to maintain specified number of layers throughout roof. Lay parallel to
eaves, starting at eaves. Provide minimum 19 inch head laps, 6 inch laps from both sides
over hips and ridges, and 12 inch end laps in the field of the roof. Nail sufficiently to
hold until shingles are applied. Turn up vertical surfaces a minimum of 4 inches. When
a self-adhering membrane is used for eave flashing, start underlayment from upper edge
of eave flashing.
3.3.2 Drip Edges
Provide metal drip edges as specified in Section 07600, "Flashing and Sheet Metal,"
applied directly on the wood deck at eaves and over the underlayment at rakes. Extend
back from edge of deck a maximum of 3 inches, and secure with nails spaced a maximum
of 4 inches o.c. along inner edge.
3.3.3 Starter Strip
Apply starter strip at eaves, using 9 inch wide strip of mineral-surfaced roll roofing of a
color to match shingles. Optionally, use a row of shingles with tabs removed and
trimmed to ensure that joints are not exposed at shingle cutouts. Apply starter strip along
eaves, overhanging the metal drip edge at eaves and rake edges 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch;
fasten in a line parallel to and 3 to 4 inches above eave edge. Place nails so tops are not
exposed in cutouts of first course of shingles.
Pump Station 32 Replacement
October 2016 07311-5
3.3.4 Shingle Courses
Start first course with full shingle, and apply succeeding courses with joints staggered at
thirds or halves. Butt-end joints of shingles shall not align vertically more often than
every fourth course. Apply shingle courses as follows:
A. Fastening: Do not drive fasteners into or above the factory-applied adhesive unless
adhesive is located 5/8 inch or closer to top of cutouts. Place fasteners so they are
concealed by shingle top lap and penetrate the head lap.
B. Nailing: Apply shingles with nominal 5 inch exposure. Apply each shingle with
minimum of six nails. Place one nail one inch from each end and one nail on each
side of each cutout, on a horizontal line 5/8 inch above cutouts.
C. Sealing: Seal each tab with continuous, 9 inch long, 1/4 inch diameter bead of
asphalt roof cement, applied to the surface of course below. Place bead on
horizontal line 5/8 inch above cutouts so bead will be one inch from bottom edge of
tab to be sealed and so bead will not show through cutouts. After nailing each
shingle, press tabs down to ensure spreading and bonding of asphalt roof cement.
3.3.5 Hips and Ridges
Form with 9 by 12 inch individual shingles or with 12 by 12 inch shingles cut from 12 by
36 inch strip shingles. Bend shingles lengthwise down center with equal exposure on
each side of hip or ridge. Lap shingles to provide a maximum 5 inch exposure, and nail
each side in unexposed area 5 1/2 inches from butt and one inch in from edge.
3.3.5.1 Vented Hips and Ridges
Initially form as for non-vented ridge or hip. Measure a 3 inch slot, 1 ½ inches each side
of ridge centerline to allow for a 2x ridge board or smaller. Snap chalk lines the entire
length of the ridge. Cut slot with a circular saw and clean out debris. Set saw depth so as
not to cut roof rafters. Stop the slot 12 inches short of any ridge end, intersecting ridge or
obstruction (such as a chimney). If architectural shingles, shakes, or roofing with an
irregular surface is used, apply a bead of caulk to roof deck before installing vent. This
will seal any gaps that could allow weather penetration under the vent. Install vent in
accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation. Begin at one end. Caulk between
bottom edge of vent and roof. Pull firmly to fully extend, center vent on ridge and nail
other end down. Make sure vent matches roof pitch before nailing both sides in place.
Fasten per manufacturer’s recommended spacing. Center shingle cap on vent and nail.
Continue nailing until all vent is covered with ridge caps. Be careful not to overdrive
nail. Nail head should be flush with top of shingle, without indenting it. Pre-forming
caps in cold weather helps avoid cracking.

Metal." Before installing and fastening flashing in place with metal cleats:
A. Install single layer of 36 inch wide, asphalt-saturated felt, centered on valley and
extending entire length of valley over felt underlayment.
B. Cut regular shingle courses on each roof on true line 2 inches from valley centerline
at top of valley, and increase width between lines by one inch for each 8 feet of
valley length, continuing to eaves.
C. Apply 2 inch band of asphalt roof cement over flashing, along and under side of
shingles adjoining valley.
D. Press shingles tightly into cement, and nail in normal manner, except apply nails not
closer than 5 inches to valley centerline. Do not drive nails through valley flashing.
E. Provide a 4 inch band of asphalt roof cement for fastening shingle tabs down along
open metal gutters.
3.3.7 Flashing
3.3.7.1 Roof Penetration Flashing
Provide treated wood crickets as specified in Section 06100, "Rough Carpentry." Provide
metal base and counterflashing as specified in Section 07600, "Flashing and Sheet
Metal." Uniformly coat masonry surfaces that are to receive flashing with asphalt primer
applied at rate of one gallon per 100 square feet. Apply shingles over underlayment up to
front face of penetration. Apply metal front base flashing with lower section extending at
least 4 inches over shingles. Set base flashing in a 1/16 inch coating of asphalt roof
cement on shingles and penetration face. Apply metal step flashing at sides in a coating
of asphalt roof cement. Embed end shingles in each course that overlap step flashing
with asphalt roof cement. Apply metal rear base flashing over cricket and back of
penetration in coating of asphalt roof cement. Apply end shingles in each course up to
cricket, and cement in place. Lap base flashing minimum of 3 inches with metal

continues to rise, the speed shall again be increased incrementally. The speed
shall never exceed the preset maximum speed programmed into the controls. As
the wet well level decreases, the speed shall decrease incrementally until the wet
well level reaches the “Pump Off” elevation, at which time the lead pump shall be
stopped.
B If the influent flow rate is greater than the maximum pumping rate of the lead
pump and the wet well level rises to the “Lag Pump Start” elevation, the lag pump
shall be started. The lag pump shall be started to match the equivalent speed of
the lead pump. If wet well level continues to rise and the pumps are not running at
maximum speed, the speeds shall increase up to the preset maximum speed
programmed into the controls. As wet well level drops, both pump speeds will be
decreased by 5-percent over a 15-second ramp-down time. If wet well level
begins to rise again, speeds shall be increased incrementally as before. The lead
and lag pumps shall run until the wet well level reaches the “Pump Off” elevation,
at which time both pumps shall be stopped.
C. Automatic alternating control circuitry shall switch the operating sequence of the
pumps on a preset time schedule selected by the pumping station operator.

execution of one program instruction. This instruction shall be bi-directional to include
data transfer from the CPU to the module or from the module to the CPU.
10.15 Instructions shall be provided for grouping contiguous 16 bit data words into a file. The
system shall address up to 256 files with up to 256 words per file. File manipulation
instructions such as high speed "file copy" and "file fill", "file to file" move, "element to
file" move, "file to element" move, and "first in-first out" shall be supported by the system.
The four function math instructions and instructions for performing "logical OR!”, "logical
AND", “exclusive OR!”, and comparison instructions such as "less than", "greater than",
and "equal to" shall be included within the system. All instructions shall execute on either
single words or files.
10.16 The system shall contain instructions, which will construct synchronous 16 bit word shift
registers. Additional instructions shall be provided to construct synchronous bit shift
registers.
10.17 The programmable controller shall have a jump instruction, which will allow the
programmer to jump over portions of the user program to a portion marked a matching
label instruction.
10.18 In applications requiring repeatable logic rungs it shall be possible to place such rungs in a
subroutine section. Instructions, which call the subroutine and return to the main program,
shall be included, within the system. It shall be possible to program several subroutines
and define each subroutine by a unique label. The processor will support nesting of
subroutines up to eight levels deep. The program format as displayed on the CRT shall
clearly define the main program and all subroutines.
10.19 The program format shall display all instructions on a CRT programming panel with
appropriate mnemonics to define all data entered by the programmer. The system shall be

capable of providing a "HELP" instruction which when called by the programmer will
display on the CRT a list of instructions and all data required to enter an instruction into
the system memory.
10.20 At the request of the programmer, data contained in system memory shall be displayed on
the CRT programming panel. This monitoring feature shall be provided for input/output
status, timer/counter data, files, and system status. Ladder logic rungs shall be displayed
on the CRT with rung numbers in sequential order.
10.21 The system shall have the capability to enter rung comments above ladder logic rungs.
These comments may be entered at the same time the ladder logic is entered.
10.22 The capability shall exist for adding, removing, or modifying ladder logic rungs during
program execution. When changes to ladder logic are made or new logic rungs are added,
it shall be possible to test the edits of such rungs before removal of the prior logic rung is
executed.
10.23 It shall be possible to manually set (force) either on or off all hardwired input or output
points or Analog values from the CRT programming panel or the main chassis front panel.
Removal of these forced 1/0 points shall be either individually or totally through selected
keystrokes. The programming terminal shall be able to display forced 1/0 points,
10.24 The execution of the program logic shall be accelerated by scanning the rung only until a
positive decision as to the state of the outputs has been made. In many cases, this will
mean slopping over logic elements if the output condition has been predetermined.
10.25 A means to program a fault recovery routine shall exist. When a major system fault occurs
in the system, the fault recovery routine shall be executed and then the system shall
determine if the fault has been eliminated. If the fault is eliminated, program execution
resumes. If the fault still exists, the system will shut down.
10.26 An interrupt routine shall be programmable such that the routine shall be executed
regularly. The interval at which the routine is executed shall be user-specified in the range
of 1 to 32767 milliseconds. This routine must be able to close an asynchronous control
loop consisting of 32 Input points, 32 output points, 100 contact/coils, 10 addition
instructions, 10 subtraction instructions and 32 circular comparison (Limit) instructions
while never exceeding a 2 millisecond interval. The measurement of this interval is from
the Input filter delay time to the time that the physical output transitions.
10.27 The ability to program ladder logic via symbols from the global database of the
programmable controller shall exist.
10.28 An instruction shall be supported to incorporate closed loop control systems. The
"proportional", "Integral", and "derivative" elements shall be accessible to the user in
order to tune a closed loop system.

10.29 The CPU shall support indexed addressing of inputs and outputs, along with all data table
words (integer, binary, timers, and counters) for the software instruction set,
10.30 The system shall support both bit and word level diagnostic instructions.
10.31 To facilitate conditional event detection programming, output instructions shall include a
"one shot" instruction, which may be triggered on the low-to-high (rising) rung condition.
10.32 The processor shall support Master Control Reset (Relay) type functionality to selectively
disable sections of relay ladder logic.
10.33 An interrupt routine shall be programmable such that the routines shall be executed based
upon the input conditions of up to eight discrete hardware inputs in the processor chassis.
The routine will be executed within 500 microseconds of the detection of the input signals.
The 8 inputs will be repetitively examined/scanned within a 100 microsecond time period.
10.34 Ladder logic shall feature full and detailed documentation. Each bit, rung, instruction, and
block shall include written description of that item and details of its function in the control
routine.
PART 11 – Quality Requirements
11.01 The programmable controller processor shall be able to withstand conducted susceptibility
tests as outlined in NEMA ICS 2-230.
