Deflection may be tested by a mandrel or by direct measurement of the vertical diameter of the pipe. Pipe that has deflected more than five percent (5%) of its nominal dimension shall be reconstructed, repaired or reconstructed by the Contractor at his expense. The reconstructed pipe shall also be tested for deflection. All deflection testing shall be completed by the contractor, including necessary equipment and labor, regardless of the number of tests required to achieve acceptance. All new sanitary sewer pipe will be televised by the City one time. If corrections/repairs are necessary for any reason, re-televising will be the responsibility of the contractor.; Sediment Removal for Storm Water Treatment Devices.

Replace Section 902.7, “Erosion Control Blanket”, with the following: When permanent seeding is specified but weather or seasonal limitations prevent the planting of the permanent seed, an approved erosion control blanket shall be installed at the back of curb (8’ minimum width) where all drainage goes to the street; and through full ditch/swale/slope sections where drainage goes elsewhere. The temporary erosion control blanket is to be removed before the permanent seed is planted. All costs for installation of temporary erosion control blanket shall be paid for through the final measured bid item for the same.; Erosion Control Blanket for Temporary Seeding. Section 902.8, “Temporary Seeding”, replace the last paragraph with the following: When temporary seeding is placed, an approved erosion control blanket shall be installed at the back of curb (8’ minimum width) where all drainage goes to the street; and through full ditch/swale/slope sections where drainage goes elsewhere.
