From:Craig A. Lewis, Building Department Director
Meeting:February 25, 2020
Subject:Public Hearing on Request of Hooker Bros. Sand & Gravel Inc. for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow for the Operation of a Sand and Gravel
mining facility at 3895 S. Locust St. Grand Island NE
PT N1/2 of SW 1/4, & PT N1/2 of SE 1/4, & PT of S1/2 of SE 1/4,
all in Section 34-11-9 (156.42 Acres)
Presenter:Craig Lewis; Building Department Director
Background
This request is for council approval to allow for the operation of a sand and gravel mining
facility at the above referenced location. A conditional use permit is required as the
current zoning classification, TA or Transitional Agriculture does not allow for this type
of use as a permitted principal use. The zoning classification does list as a conditional
use, commercial mines, quarries, sand and gravel pits and accessory uses. Conditional
uses as listed in the zoning code must be approved by the City Council.
A permit was approved on June 23, 2009 and a renewal on May 28, 2019 for a ten year
period for the continued operation on the adjoining property at 3947 S. Locust Street.
This request is a continuation to the east of the existing operation and is expected to
continue to operate after the closing of the original site.
Discussion
Sand and gravel operations have been a part of Grand Island and the surrounding areas
for a long time, as the City of Grand Island continues to grow conditions need to be
implemented to assure a compatible existence for both.
City administration has developed the following restrictions, or conditions which appear
appropriate to impose upon sand and gravel operations.
1). USE: The proposed uses are limited to those listed in the application, sand and gravel
pumping processing, storage, stocking piling, distribution, and sales, both wholesale and
retail. Retail sale may also include the sale of black dirt, river rock, and similar
landscaping materials. The storage, recycling, or processing of other aggregate materials,
such as asphalt or concrete is not allowable unless specifically listed, nor are the
operation of concrete or asphalt batch plants.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 7 / 405
2). CLOSURE: A closure statement identifying improvements to the property after the
closing of the sand and gravel operation is to be provided along with the application.
3). PRIMARY CONDITIONS: (a). The permit shall be granted for a period not to
exceed 10 years with the possibility of renewal for an additional time at the end of the 10
year period.
(b).Pumping of product shall not be allowed within 150 feet of any public road right of
way and protected by a 6 foot earthen berm during pumping. The finished width of
developable property adjacent to the public right of way shall be 300 feet at the time of
termination of the operation. A setback of 100 feet from any adjacent property line shall
be maintained between the pumping operations and a finished developable width of 150’
shall be provided.
(c).Pumping and other activities (including lighting) at the site shall be limited to 6:00am
to 10:00pm Monday through Saturday, no Sunday operation.
(d). Any internal combustion pump motors utilized shall be equipped with a functioning
“hospital grade muffler” designed to reduce exhaust noise by 32 to 40 decibels.
(e). Materials and equipment shall not be stored on the property within any easements or
the regulated floodway as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or
its successor and the entity with jurisdiction and authority to enforce floodplain
regulations. No product, material or equipment shall be stored within any easement or in
such a manor that it would violate any safety provisions of the National Electric Safety
Code.
(f). All dead trees, rubbish, and debris, if any must be cleared from the real estate as soon
as practical and such real estate must, at all times, be kept in a clean and neat condition.
(g). No trash, rubbish, debris, dead trees, lumber, bricks, refuse or junk material of any
nature whatsoever shall be dumped, placed or located upon such real estate.
(h). Applicant shall not use the real estate in any way so as to create or result in an
unreasonable hazard or nuisance to adjacent land owners or to the general public.
(i). Applicant shall maintain any and all drainage ditches that may be located upon the
real property.
(j). Applicant shall not permit the hauling of sand and gravel from the premises over and
across any public highway or road unless said sand and gravel is complete dry and free
from water or is hauled in trucks which are designed and equipped so as to prevent water
from leaking onto the traveled portion of the roadbed.
(k). All water accumulated upon the premises by virtue of such mining and pumping
operations shall be retained upon the premises and shall not flow upon or encroach upon
any adjacent land. Only surface waters that have historically flowed from the premises
shall be permitted to leave the same through historical natural drainage ways.
(l). Applicant shall begin the mining operation within a period of 18 months from the
issuance of this permit or if the applicant fail to begin operations within the 18 months
the permit shall be considered null and void and subject to reapplication and rehearing.
Additionally if at anytime during the life of the permit issued the operation shall cease for
a period of a continuous 18 months the permit shall become void and a renewal shall be
obtained before becoming once again operational.
As this request is for a continuation of an existing operation the following notes
specifically apply to the operation;
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 8 / 405
1). Use: storage of recycled material or processing of asphalt or concrete
or the operation of a concrete or asphalt batch plant was not allowed.
2). Closure: A closure statement was provided with the original
Application, and has been modified to include additional areas.
3). Primary Conditions (l). If at any time during the life of the permit the
operation shall cease for a period of 18 months the permit shall become

ALTERNATIVES
It appears the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue.
1. Approve the request with the proposed conditions, finding that the

purpose of the zoning regulations.
2. Deny the request, finding that the proposed application does not
conform to the purpose of the zoning regulations.
3. Approve the request with additional or revised conditions and findings
of fact.
4. Refer the matter to a special committee for a determination of a finding
of fact.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the request finding all conditions are applicable as presented by City
Administration and the City Council finds that the proposed use and application
continues to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, protects
property against blight and depreciation, and is generally harmonious with the
surrounding neighborhood.
SAMPLE MOTION
Move to approve the conditional use with the condition identified by the City
Administration, published in the Council packet and presented at the Council meeting
and finding that the application continues to conform with the purpose of the zoning
regulations.

SPECIAL ITEMS:
Presentation by Grow Grand Island (GGI). GGI Chair Tonja Brown gave a presentation about
the hopes for GGI. How GGI was formed and given a mission to cultivate bold ideas that create
business and quality of life opportunities through planning, partnerships and community
visioning. The following committees were acknowledge:
Executive Committee for leading GGI with the directions and decisions to move the
committee forward.
The Grant Committee for reviewing and scoring grant applications and making
recommendations to Executive Committee.
Advisory Committee for serving as the sounding board.
Mr. Brown stated there was $948,704.00 in the bank of which $303,425.60 was committed in
approved grants. She stated that left $636,944.77 and had $685,000.00 projects in the Pipeline
which brought them to -$48,055.22. After the disbursement from the City of $500,000.00 that
would leave them with $451,944.77 for future projects.
Ms. Brown mentioned the food and beverage tax and its growing trend. Currently there are
$303,425.60 in approved grants.
Mentioned were funds outside the food and beverage funds:
$1,403,230 in leveraged completed projects

$5,000 in annual operating expenses

Page 2, City Council Study Session, February 18, 2020
Cindy Johnson from Chamber of Commerce presented Targeted Talent Attraction which targets
recruitment of individuals to our workforce. GGI Workforce Committee developed three
different incentives.
Career and Workforce Booth. They had a booth at UNK and talked with 17 people and
received 14 resumes that they will forward on to Grand Island Businesses.
Good Life is Calling. An opportunity to collect information about the community of
Grand Island.
Recruitment and working with the Department of Labor.
Dave Taylor from Grand Island Area Economic Development discussed the Future Builders
Challenge, a regional partnership to encourage growth in high school students that have interest
in entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, innovators and builders. This included Grand Island Senior High,
Centura, Grand Island Central Catholic, Wood River, Heartland Lutheran, St. Paul and Aurora.
There is a team of 35 advisors, 20 judges and 28 teachers and counselors that will be trained in
this program to help students. There are four steps for the Future Builders Challenge:
Builder Profile 10 – January 13-17, 2020
Inspiration Rally – February 20, 2020
Builder Boot Camp – March 20, 2020
Builder Pitch Challenge – March 23, 2020
Mr. Taylor stated the biggest challenge is recruiting young individuals to our area. This program
brings great opportunity to Grand Island. Only Lincoln and Omaha have done this so this is
leading the way for Greater Nebraska.
Brad Mellema from Grand Island Convention & Visitors Bureau discussed Event Incentive
Fund. They currently are bidding on a National Horseshoe Pitching Tournament which could
have a 4 million dollar economic impact over the 3 weekend period. He discussed the tourism
impact from January-December of 2019 of 32 million in hotel revenues and tax revenue for 2018
for lodging, food, beverage, service and retail in the amount of 425 million dollars. It is
important to have the incentive fund to bring these events to Grand Island. Brad mentioned
projects in the pipeline which included entryway signage which represent our community. He
mentioned Grow Grand Island and over the last 3 years we have had over 60,000 people. They
would like to use the incentive funds to help market this to get out to other communities.
Chris Kotulak from Fonner Park also spoke on the importance of incentive funds. He mentioned
the United States Team Pinning Association expressed interest in coming to Fonner. He said
with the incentive funds they were able to give them a fantastic offer and without them it was
something they would have not been able to do. He stated Fonner Park has the highest lease in
the nation, but people said they are ok with paying for it but would like services along with it
which the incentive funds help with.
Cindy Johnson discussed Workforce: EDGE (Upskilling) & Internships. This helps current
employees retain jobs in Grand Island. A report done by University of Nebraska Business
Bureau Research confirmed the annual flow of Grand Island workforce is less than projected
needs of the business which means jobs are going unfilled. At any given time we have roughly
2,000 jobs which is significant. They have caught the attention of the Sherwood Foundation who
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 30 / 405
Page 3, City Council Study Session, February 18, 2020
will work with them on EDGE and make sure there are no holes. They have potential to be the
recipient of their grants and that would be significant for Grand Island.
Cindy Johnson discussed internships and filling the hole we have with not having a 4 year
institution. Looking for an internship program that a senior college student could be working and
getting paid in Grand Island, 60% of these internships will stay in that job if they are getting
paid.
Tonja Brown mentioned that GGI hopes are to renew their agreement with the City of Grand
Island, determining an effective way to engage and inform City Council, continuing to impact
Grand Island with the program of work and continuing to be good stewards of funds entrusted
for their work.
Zach Moul; 503 Johnson Drive, Grand Island, Nebraska spoke on the contract with GGI in
regards to the funds and how he thought they could be better spent and maybe doing a 1 year
contract if any.
Counilmember Nickerson asked a question about number of grants and how do you market them
and is there a shortage of interest. Tonja Brown said they do not put a call out for grant
applications and push their initiatives. Councilmember Nickerson asked how hard it was to filter
through the grant applications. Tonja Brown said it is a huge challenge and anytime the food and
beverage funds are to be used they are in communications with city officials and find the
appropriate ways to use the funds. They have a form they use and has to be signed off by four
people to make sure they are doing it correctly.
Mitch asked Brad Mellema how they are meeting the needs to keep getting events. Brad said
they look at long standing events and costs.
Discussion regarding the Grand Island City Cemetery Capacity and Expansion. Parks &
Recreation Director Todd McCoy presented two ideas for maximizing cemetery space. Mr.
McCoy stated on the south side of the current cemetery there were no lots available. The City
Cemetery currently has an inventory of 614 traditional burial spaces, 183 flat marker spaces, 125
ash spaces, 54 infant spaces and 18 columbarium spaces. Based on current trends, space would
run out in 2025.
Mentioned was changing City Code to all upright markers in Section J which would add 80
potential traditional spaces.
Mr. McCoy stated the second idea they came up with would be to develop gravel roadways into
burial spaces which would add an additional 1,160 burial spaces.
The Parks Department had done some research and found 1,218 spaces that had been unclaimed
from a 1969 resolution. Discussion was held regarding ground penetrating radar to see if there
were any burials in these spaces which would cost about $100 per space. Staff had identified an
additional 2,066 spaces that had been inactive since the 1930’s.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 31 / 405
Page 4, City Council Study Session, February 18, 2020
With all of the recommendations presented there is potential for 5,138 spaces and could extend
the cemetery to 2050.
Mr. McCoy answered questions regarding notifying public on unclaimed spaces and penetrating
radar.
Kelly Lepler; 3009 W. Stolley Park Road, Grand Island, Nebraska spoke in regards on the
cemetery finding unclaimed spaces and checking with funeral businesses because they may have
records. She mentioned moving the cemetery to the north side of town and the water tables. Who
is reliable for the upkeep on them, when they settle you have to fix them and sometimes comes
out of their own budgets.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:06 p.m.

and particularly describing the lots, easements, and streets belonging to such subdivision, with
* This Space Reserved for Register of Deeds *
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 86 / 405
- 2 -
the lots designated by number, easements by dimensions, and streets by name, and proposes to
cause the plat of such subdivision when finally approved by the Regional Planning Commission
and the City Council to be acknowledged by such owner, certified as to accuracy of survey by a
registered land surveyor, and to contain a dedication of the easements to the use and benefit of
public utilities, and of the street to the use of the public forever. In consideration of the
acceptance of the plat of said TDM SUBDIVISION, the Subdivider hereby consents and agrees
with the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, that it will install or provide at its expense the following
improvements:
1.Paving. The Subdivider agrees to waive the right to object to the creation
of any paving or repaving district for 7th Street where it abuts the subdivision.
2.Water. Public water supply is available to the subdivision, and all new
structures requiring service shall be connected to such water supply.
3.Sanitary Sewer. Public sanitary sewer is available to the subdivision, and
all new structures requiring service shall be connected to such sanitary sewer supply.
The existing building sewer lines from the dwellings in the subdivision appear to cross at some
point before connecting the city sewer main. At such time as one or both of the building sewer
lines need to be replaced the new location shall be in conformance with the plumbing code
adopted by the City of Grand Island.
4.Storm Drainage. The Subdivider agrees to provide and maintain positive
drainage from all lots, according to the drainage plan, so that storm drainage is conveyed to a
public right-of-way or to other drainage systems so approved by the Director of Public Works. If
the Subdivider fails to grade and maintain such drainage the City may create a drainage district
to perform such work. The Subdivider agrees to waive the right to object to the creation of any
drainage district benefitting the subdivision.

5.Sidewalks. The Subdivider shall maintain all public sidewalks required
by the City of Grand Island.

Subdivider shall indemnify the City for any removal or repair costs caused by any obstructions.
In addition, the duty to maintain the surface of any easements to keep them clear of any
worthless vegetation or nuisance shall run with the land.
7.Lot Size. Minimum lot size requirements were waived by the Grand
Island City Council to allow 2 houses built on the same lot in 1891 and 1922 to be sold
separately. The City acknowledges that these lots do not meet the minimum lot size for the
current zoning district and will treat them as legal lots of record allowing new uses on these lots
that conform to the zoning district and setbacks at the time of construction.
8.Engineering Data. All final engineering plans and specifications for
public improvements shall bear the signature and seal of a professional engineer registered in the
State of Nebraska and shall be furnished by the Subdivider to the Department of Public Works
for approval prior to contracting for construction of any improvements. Inspections of
improvements under construction shall be performed under the supervision of a professional
engineer registered in the State of Nebraska, and upon completion shall be subject to inspection
and approval by the Department of Public Works prior to acceptance by the City of Grand
Island. An "as built" set of plans and specifications including required test results bearing the
seal and signature of a professional engineer registered in the State of Nebraska shall be filed
with the Director of Public Works by the Subdivider prior to acceptance of these improvements
by the City.

owner in fee simple of the land described and proposed to be known as TDM SUBDIVISION,
and that an abstract of title or title insurance commitment will be submitted for examination, if
necessary, upon request of the City of Grand Island.
10.Successors and Assigns. This agreement shall run with the land and shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors, assigns, heirs,
devisees, and legatees. Where the term "Subdivider" is used in this agreement, the subsequent
owners of any lots in the subdivision shall be responsible to perform any of the conditions of this
agreement if the Subdivider has not performed such conditions.

Staff Contact: Chad Nabity
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 95 / 405
Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:February 25, 2020
Subject:Changing the name of Leon Circle to Dawn Circle and
Goldenrod Drive to Kenneth Drive within the Copper
Creek Rodney Leon Subdivision.
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP
Background
Copper Creek Rodney Leon Subdivision located east of Engleman Road and south of
Indian Grass Road was approved by the Grand Island City Council in 2019. The
developer, Guarantee Group LLC, has contacted the Planning Department about
changing the name of Leon Circle and Goldenrod Drive as platted with for Copper Creek
Rodney Leon Subdivision to Dawn Circle and Kenneth Drive.
Discussion
Leon Circle and Goldenrod Drive are public streets approved by the Grand Island City
Council with the development plan for Copper Creek Rodney Leon Subdivision. There
are currently no houses on the property so there are no impacts to changing the name.
Currently there are no streets named Dawn Circle or Kenneth Drive in Grand Island. If
the developers had platted the proposed street name as Dawn Circle or Kenneth Drive,
both would have been approved with the Plat.
This resolution will recognize the name change and authorize the City Clerk to file the
resolution against the plat so that there is a formal record on the property of the street
name change.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 96 / 405
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the resolution to change the
name of Leon Circle to Dawn Circle and Goldenrod Drive to Kenneth Drive within the
Copper Creek Rodney Leon Subdivision.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as submitted.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 97 / 405

Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:February 25, 2020
Subject:Water Main Projects 2020-W-2 (Greenwich Street –
Fonner to Phoenix) and 2020-W-3 (State Street – Webb
to Hancock)
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The contract for Water Main Projects 2020-W-2 and 2020-W-3 involves the installation
of approximately 3,043 linear feet of 8” diameter ductile-iron water main by trenchless
construction; also, water service connections, pavement removal and restoration.
The State Street work resolves the issue of a growing number of water main breaks in
that area, while the work on Greenwich Street addresses fire flow deficiencies and
improves domestic supply.
Discussion
Bidding documents were advertised in accordance with City Procurement Codes. Two
bids were received and publicly opened at 2:00 p.m. on February 12, 2020.
Tabulated below is the Evaluated Bid amount from each of the bidders:
Bidder Bid Security Exceptions Evaluated Bid
The Diamond Engineering Co.
Grand Island, NE Universal Surety Co.None $617,974.90
Myers Construction, Inc.
Broken Bow, NE Inland Insurance Co.None $765,260.64
Myers Construction, Inc.
Broken Bow, NE
Negotiated
Price $734,775.12
The contract listed specific qualifications for experience in trenchless installation of
ductile-iron water mains similar to this project. “Bidders shall furnish a list of three (3)
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 101 / 405
projects involving horizontal directional drilling pipelines of similar size, magnitude and
requirements which they have satisfactorily performed within the last three (3) years.”
All bids have been reviewed and evaluated. The information provided by the Diamond
Engineering Company with their bid did not meet the contract’s experience requirements
for size of pipe trenchlessly installed.
The experience data provided with the bids from Myers Construction, Inc., met the
requirements specified in the contract documents. As Myers Construction’s bid was
within 5% of the estimated cost of $760,000, a negotiated price was able to be worked
out, which included an error in the unit pricing for sod.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council award the contract to the low qualified
bidder, Myers Construction, Inc., of Broken Bow, Nebraska, in the amount of
$734,775.12.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the bid from Myers Construction, Inc., in the amount of $734,775.12
for the construction of Water Main Projects 2020-W-2 and 2020-W-3.

SECTION 4 - SCOPE OF WORK
4.01 Intent of Plans and Specifications. The intent of the plans and specifications is to
provide for the construction and completion of every detail of the work described therein. It shall
be understood by the Contractor that Contractor will furnish all labor, materials, tools,
transportation, and supplies required for all or any part of the work to make each item complete
in accordance with the spirit of the contract. It is understood that the apparent silence of the
specifications as to any detail or the apparent omission of a detailed description concerning any
point shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only
materials and workmanship of the first quality are to be used.
For the purpose of design and the preparation of the Engineer's Estimate, the City
may perform a reasonable amount of exploratory work to gain information relative to surface
and subsurface conditions relating to type of soil, moisture content, and types and extent of rock
strata.
This information when shown on the plan represents to the best of the City's
knowledge conditions as of the date the survey was made. The appearance of this information
on the plan will not constitute a guarantee that conditions other than those indicated will not be
encountered at the time of construction.
The bidder may utilize this information as they see fit. Any bidder interested in the
work is authorized to make whatever investigation they considers advisable.
In making such additional investigation, the bidder is directed to the Engineer for
information relating to available right-of-way. If there are, at that time, any parcels of land over
which the City does not have jurisdiction, right of entry must be secured by the prospective
bidder from those authorized to grant such permission. lnvestigational work, performed by a
prospective bidder on existing streets open to traffic, shall be performed in compliance with the
1-7
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 152 / 405
requirements of the current Manual on Uniform Control Devices for Street and Highways. All
such additional investigational work shall be performed without costing or obligating the City in
any way.
4.02 Special Work.Any conditions not covered by these standard specifications are
stated in the special provisions.
4.03 Increased or Decreased Quantities of Work. The Engineer reserves the right to alter
the quantities of contract items for which there are bid prices. Such increases or decreases in
quantities shall be made as the City considers necessary or desirable without waiving or
invalidating any of the provisions of the contract. All such alterations must be ordered in writing
and a supplemental agreement must be executed with the Contractor for the item or items
involved when such alterations involve an increase or decrease of more than 20 percent of the
total cost of the work of any group of the contract calculated from the original bid quantities and
the contract unit prices. The Contractor shall not start work on any alteration requiring a
supplemental agreement until the agreement setting forth an equitable adjustment of
compensation, satisfactory to both parties, shall have been executed by the Engineer and the
Contractor and approved by City Council.
Revised 1-25-2011
4.04 Extra Work. The City reserves the right to order the performance of work of a class
not contemplated in the bid but which may be considered necessary to complete satisfactorily
the work included in the contract. Such extra work will be paid for as provided in these
specifications under section entitled Payment for Extra Work.
4.05 Maintenance of Detours. Unless so required by the plans or the special provisions,
the Contractor will not be required to assume any responsibility in connection with the
maintenance or marking of suitable detours.
4.06 Temporary Traffic Control. Part VI of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) is the national standard for work zone traffic control. The current version that has
been adopted by the Nebraska Department of Roads is also applicable to the City of Grand
Island and shall be followed.

performing work within the right-of-way of any public street, public way, or alley in the City of
Grand Island shall install and maintain Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) in accordance with the
standards of the MUTCD.
The Public Works Director or their representative shall have the authority to direct
corrective actions for any TTC not in compliance with the MUTCD and these provisions. These
actions may include suspending operations and requiring removal of all equipment or materials
from the right-of-way.
If the TTC is left in place longer than four (4) hours and no personnel are on the site,
the individual responsible for installing the TTC shall provide telephone numbers of personnel
who will be available on a 24 hours per day, seven days per week basis to the Public Works
Director.These individuals shall be responsible for repair, correction, replacement and
maintenance of the traffic control devices. These individuals shall perform inspections of the
TTC at the site a minimum of twice during the day and once during the night every day until the
work is completed and the right-of-way is cleared.

temporary expedients for the accommodation of public and private travel, and shall give
reasonable notice to owners of private drives before interfering with them. Such maintenance of
travel will not be required when the Contractor has obtained permission from the owner or
tenant of private property or from the authority having jurisdiction over public property involved
to obstruct traffic at the designated area.
4.08 Street Closing. In the event it is deemed necessary for the Contractor to close any
streets during the execution of said work, the Contractor shall notify the owner of such street
closing 72 hours in advance, prior to any street closing due to open cut street crossing.
4.09 Miscellaneous Removal Items. The Contractor shall inform the Engineer sufficiently
ahead of construction so landowners can be notified to remove small trees, shrubs, and fences
from the construction limits if the landowners desire to save them.
4.10 Removal and Replacement of Property Stakes. If it is necessary to remove any
property corners or markers during construction operations, the Contractor shall notify the
Engineer so the Engineer can establish reference ties. Any markers removed without notice to
the Engineer shall be replaced at the Contractor's expense in accordance with the proper land
surveying techniques.
4.11 Removal and Disposal of Structures and Obstructions. The Contractor for bridge
and culvert work shall remove any existing structure or part of structure that in any way
interferes with the new construction. If specific payment for such work has not been provided in
the contract, it will be paid for as extra work.
The Contractor shall remove any materials or structures found on the right-of-way
which are not to remain in place or which have not been designated for use in the new
construction. The removal and disposal of pipe culverts will not be paid for directly but shall be
considered as incidental work, and the cost of such removal and disposal shall be considered to
be included in the contract price for other items. Pipe culverts shall be removed by methods
that will cause a minimum of damage to the pipe culverts. The removal and disposal of bridges
or other masonry or monolithic concrete construction will be paid for. If the contract does not
contain an item for such work, it will be paid for as extra work.
4.12 Rights In and Use of Materials Found on the Right-of-way. Unless stated to the
contrary in the contract documents, all materials, such as stone, gravel, sand, timber, and
structures or parts of structures, found on the right-of-way of the street or on land acquired for
the work, are the property of the City or the owner of the fee title to the land, and shall not be
used or destroyed by the Contractor without special permission from the Engineer. When the
Contractor is permitted to use materials found on the right-of-way, any excavations that they
make below the grade elevation shall be backfilled with other suitable materials so the finished
street will conform to the grade shown on the plans. No extra compensation will be allowed for
such backfilling.

When rock excavation is encountered, any portion of rock excavation which would
otherwise be deposited in waste areas and not be incorporated in the embankments may be
processed and used, royalty free, by the Contractor in any other portion of the construction in
which material of that quality would be acceptable. No deduction will be made from excavation
quantities for rock so used.
4.13 Construction and Demolition Debris. Debris from any City awarded project, as well
as Municipal Solid Waste (that is not recycled), shall be disposed of at the City's Solid Waste
facilities.
4.14 Final Cleaning Up. Upon completion of the work and before acceptance and final
payment, the Contractor shall clean the street, borrow pits, and all ground occupied by
Contractor in connection with the work of all rubbish, excess materials, falsework, temporary
structures, and equipment, and all parts of the work, shall be left in a neat and presentable
condition.
When required in the plans, the Contractor shall, at Contractor's expense, replace
waste material or stripping back into borrow and material pits as directed by the Engineer.
Trees, tree stumps and material placed on property adjacent to the street during the execution
of the work shall be disposed of by the Contractor.
4.15 Right-of-way. Right-of-way for the work will be provided without cost to the

specified for the commencement of the work unless a later date for the right-of-way to be made
available to the Contractor is designated in the contract documents.
4.16 Railroad Crossings. Whenever the work involves construction with which railroad
companies are concerned, the performance of the work is contingent upon arrangements with
the railroad companies for the proposed construction. No claims will be allowed for loss or
damage caused by failure to complete such arrangements.

Standards for the Construction Industry (29 CFR Part 1926) with amendments as of February 1,
1999 promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, United States
Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. are incorporated herein as a part of the contract
documents.
SECTION 5 - CONTROL OF WORK
5.01 Authority of Engineer. The Engineer will have general supervision of the work and
will decide any questions that arise with reference to the intent of the contract documents and
compliance therewith. Said Engineer will relay all questions relating to materials, work,
progress, disputes and mutual rights between contractors, fulfillment of contract, and
compensation, in accordance with the provisions of these specifications.
5.02 Plans and Working Drawings. The approved plans will be supplemented by such
working drawings as are necessary to adequately control the work. It is mutually agreed that all
authorized alterations affecting the requirements and information given in the approved plans
shall be in writing.
Working drawings for any structure shall consist of such detailed plans as may be
required of the Contractor for the prosecution of the work. These are not included in the plans
1-10
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 155 / 405
furnished by the Engineer. They shall include shop details, erection plans, masonry, and form
work. The Engineer's prior approval of the shop details must be obtained before any fabrication
work involving these plans is performed. Erection plans, masonry layout diagrams, and plans
for cribs, cofferdams, falsework, centering, and form work, as well as any other working
drawings not previously mentioned, may be required of the Contractor and shall be subject to
the Engineer's approval.
No changes shall be made in any plan or drawing after it has been approved except
by consent or direction of the Engineer in writing. It is expressly understood that the approval
by the Engineer of the Contractor's working drawings will not relieve the Contractor from any
responsibility.
The contract price shall include the cost of furnishing all working drawings, and the
Contractor will be allowed no extra compensation for such drawings.
Shop plans shall be made on 22"x36" sheet with ½" margin on all sides except the
left which shall be 2". The margin lines shall measure 21"x33 ½". The marking shall be in
accordance with the special plans or as may be required by the Engineer. All blueprint plans
which are furnished to the Engineer shall be clear and distinct and acceptable to the Engineer
and shall be neatly trimmed. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer as many extra copies of
working drawings as the Engineer may direct.
The Engineer may require reproducible prints of all approved shop plans, which shall
be furnished by the Contractor without cost to the Engineer. Such reproducible prints shall not
be folded but shall be mailed in tubes sized to accommodate these plans without injuring them.
No preliminary working drawings will be accepted by the Engineer unless they have been
carefully checked by the Contractor. Drawings showing gross errors will be returned for recheck
before examination by the Engineer. The name of the shop or company furnishing the drawings
shall be on the tracing.
5.03 Alteration of Plans or of Character of Work. The Engineer shall have the right to
make alterations in plans or character of work as may be considered necessary or desirable
during the progress of the work to satisfactorily complete the proposed construction. Such
alterations shall not be considered as a waiver of any conditions of the contract or invalidate any
of the provisions thereof.
5.04 Coordination of Plans, Specifications, Special Provisions, and Supplemental
Specifications. These specifications, the supplemental specifications, the plans, special
provisions, and all supplementary documents are essential parts of the contract, and a
requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be
complementary and to describe and provide for a complete work. In case of discrepancy,
figured dimensions shall govern over scaled dimensions, plans shall govern over specifications,
special plans shall govern over standard plans, supplemental specifications shall govern over
standard specifications, and special provisions shall govern over specifications, supplemental
specifications, and the plans.
5.05 Cooperation of Contractor. The Contractor will be supplied with a minimum of two
sets of approved plans and contract assemblies, including special provisions, one set of which
the Contractor shall keep available on the work at all times.
The Contractor shall give the work the constant attention necessary to facilitate the
progress thereof and shall cooperate with the Engineer and other contractors in every way
possible.
The Contractor shall at all times have at the work site, as Contractor's agent, a
competent superintendent capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the plans and
specifications, thoroughly experienced in the type of work being performed, who shall receive
1-11
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 156 / 405
instructions from the Engineer or Engineer's authorized representatives . The superintendent
shall have full authority to execute the orders or directions of the Engineer without delay, and to
promptly supply materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals as may be required. Such
superintendence shall be furnished irrespective of the amount of work sublet.
5.06 Surveys. Lines and elevations shall be established by the Engineer before the work
commences and the Contractor shall obtain lines and elevations from the points so set by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall furnish all stakes necessary for lines and elevations and
cooperate with the Engineer in setting same.
5.07 Authority and Duties of Inspector. The City may appoint inspectors to represent the
Engineer in the inspection of all materials used in and all work done under the contract. Such
inspection may extend to any part of the work and to the preparation or manufacture of the
materials to be used. The inspector will not be permitted to modify in any way the provisions of
the contract documents, nor to delay the work by failing to inspect materials and work with
reasonable promptness. An inspector is placed at the work site to keep the Engineer informed
as to its progress and the manner in which it is being done and to call the Contractor's attention
to any infringements of the contract documents. The inspector will not act as foreman or
perform other duties for the Contractor nor improperly interfere with the management of the
work. They will not be authorized to approve or accept any portion of the work. In case of
dispute between the Contractor and the inspector as to quality of materials or the manner of
performing the work, the inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or suspend the
work until the question at issue can be decided by the Engineer. Written notice of the
suspension of work will be given to the Engineer and the Contractor.
5.08 Inspection of Work. The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer with every reasonable
facility for ascertaining whether the work is being performed in conformance with the contract
documents. At any time before acceptance of the work, upon request of the Engineer, the
Contractor shall remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as the Engineer may
direct. After examination has been made, the Contractor shall restore such portions of the work
to the standard required by the contract documents.
If the work thus exposed or examined proves acceptable, the uncovering or
removing and replacing of the covering or the restoring of the parts removed shall be paid for as
extra work, except that no payment will be made for the work involved in checking the
smoothness of pavement surfaces. If the work thus exposed and examined proves
unacceptable, the Contractor shall replace the defective work in accordance with the
specifications and will be paid only the contract price for the work as finally accepted. Work
done or materials used without the Engineer having been afforded ample opportunity to provide
suitable inspection may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense or may
be excluded from the quantities measured for payment.
5.09 Removal of Defective Work. Any defective work shall be removed and replaced at
the Contractor's expense. Should the Contractor fail or refuse to remove defective work when
so ordered by the Engineer, the Engineer shall have authority to order the Contractor to
suspend further operations and may withhold payment on estimates until such defective work
has been removed and replaced in accordance with the plans and specifications. Continued
failure or refusal on the part of the Contractor to correct defective work promptly shall be
sufficient cause for the City to declare the contract in default and to proceed to have the work
completed in accordance with these specifications under section entitled Abrogation.
1-12
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 157 / 405
5.10 Final Inspection. Upon notification by the Contractor or Contractor's
authorized representative that the work is completed, the Engineer shall make prompt final
inspection of each item of work included in the contract. If the work is found to not be in
accordance with the contract documents, the Contractor will be advised as to the particular
defects to be remedied.
SECTION 6 - CONTROL OF MATERIALS
6.01 Source of Supply and Quality Requirements . The materials used on the work shall
meet all quality requirements of the contract. In order to expedite the inspection and testing of
materials, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer of Contractor's proposed sources of materials
prior to delivery. At the option of the Engineer, approval of the source or approval of materials
at the source prior to delivery may be required. If it is found after trial that sources of supply for
previously approved materials do not produce specified products or when conditions are such
that the use of unfit materials cannot be prevented except by extraordinary inspection methods,
the Contractor shall
furnish materials from other sources. Before delivery is started and at any time during the
process of preparation and use, the materials shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
6.02 Methods of Sampling and Testing, and Cited Specifications. Sampling and testing of
all materials and the laboratory methods and testing equipment required under these
specifications shall be in accordance with the latest published standard method of the AASHTO,
except as otherwise provided.
The sampling and testing of all materials not covered by the AASHTO, but not
otherwise provided for, shall conform to the latest published standard or tentative methods of
the ASTM.
6.03 Storage of Materials. The Contractor shall be responsible for the care and storage of
materials delivered at the work site or purchased for use thereon. Any material that has been
delivered to the work site and has become damaged before actual incorporation in the work
may be rejected by the Engineer even though it may previously have been accepted. Stored
materials shall be so located as to facilitate thorough inspection.
6.04 Unacceptable Materials. All materials not conforming to the requirements of the
specifications at the time they are to be used shall be considered as unacceptable, and all such
materials will be rejected and shall be removed immediately from the site of the work unless
otherwise instructed by the Engineer. No rejected materials, the defects of which have been
corrected, shall be used until approval has been given.
6.05 Guarantee. The Contractor shall be responsible for any and all defects which may
develop in any part of the entire installation furnished by said Contractor and, upon receipt of
written notice from the Engineer, shall immediately replace and make good without expense to
the City any such faulty part or parts and damage done by reason of same during a period of
one (1) year from the date of formal acceptance of the installation (except when specific
guarantee for another length of time is elsewhere specified).
The acceptance of the installation, or any part of it, shall not act to waive this liability
on the part of the Contractor.
Upon completion and formal acceptance of the work, the Contractor may furnish a
satisfactory bond in an amount of fifteen percent (15%) of contract price to insure the provisions
of this guarantee. Otherwise, the original bond shall remain in full force and effect until final
acceptance of the work, which acceptance shall be made one (1) year after the formal
acceptance of the work as provided herein.1-13
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 158 / 405
6.06 "Or Equal" Clause. Whenever, in any section of the contract documents, plans, or
specifications, any article, material, or equipment is defined by describing a proprietary product
or by using the name of a manufacturer or vendor, the term "or approved equal", if not inserted,
shall be implied. The specific article, material, or equipment mentioned shall be understood as
indicating the type, function, minimum standard or design, efficiency, and quality desired and
shall not be construed in such a manner as to exclude manufacturer's products of comparable
quality, design, and efficiency. The Engineer shall determine the acceptability of articles,
materials, or equipment proposed as equals.
SECTION 7 - LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC
7.01 Laws to be Observed. The Contractor shall keep fully informed of and, at all times,
shall observe and comply with all Federal and State laws, all local bylaws, ordinances, and

authorized and satisfactory permit from the City which provides that all necessary repair work
will be paid for by the party to whom such permit is issued, the Engineer may authorize the
Contractor to allow parties bearing such permits to make openings in the street. The Contractor
shall, when ordered by the Engineer in writing, make in an acceptable manner all necessary
repairs due to such openings, and such necessary work ordered by the Engineer shall be paid
for on the basis of "Extra Work" as provided for in these specifications and shall be subject to

section, the Contractor shall provide and maintain barricades, danger and warning signs, and
suitable and efficient lights, and shall take every reasonable precaution to prevent accidents.
The name of the Contractor shall be clearly visible on the barricades. The Contractor shall
provide, at their own expense, such watchmen as are necessary to protect their equipment and
to maintain proper lights.
Watchmen who may be necessary to direct traffic or prevent travel on any portion of
the street shall be provided by the Contractor on written order from the Engineer. Unless the
contract specifically provides that such watchmen are to be furnished by the Contractor, this
expense shall be paid for as provided in "Extra Work."

by the City, the Contractor shall submit satisfactory evidence that all persons, firms, or
corporations who have done work or furnished materials under this contract, for which the City
may become liable under the laws of the State, have been fully paid or satisfactorily secured. In
case such evidence is not furnished or is not satisfactory, an amount will be retained from
money due the Contractor which, in addition to any other sums that may be retained, will be
sufficient, in the opinion of the City, to meet all claims of the persons, firms, and corporations as
aforesaid. Such sum shall be retained until the liabilities as aforesaid are fully discharged or
satisfactorily secured.
7.11 Contractor's Insurance. The Contractor shall secure and maintain throughout the
duration of this contract insurance, from companies authorized to do business in Nebraska, of
such types and in such amounts as may be necessary to protect themselves and the interests
of the City against all hazards or risks of loss as hereinafter specified. This insurance shall
cover all aspects of the Contractor's operations and completed operations. The form and limits
of such insurance, together with the underwriter thereof in each case, shall be approved by the
City, but regardless of such approval it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to maintain
adequate insurance coverage at all times. Failure of the Contractor to maintain adequate
coverage shall not relieve them of any contractual responsibility or obligation. Minimum
insurance coverage shall be the amounts stated herein or the amounts required by applicable
law, whichever are greater.

"endeavor to" wording often shown on certificate forms).
7.13 Contractor's Responsibility for Utility Property and Services. At points where the
Contractor's operations are adjacent to properties of railway, telegraph, telephone, and power
companies or adjacent to other property to which damage might result, work shall not be
commenced until all arrangements necessary for the protection thereof have been made.
The Contractor shall cooperate with the owners of any underground or overhead
utility lines in their removal and rearrangement operations in order that these operations may
progress in a reasonable manner, that duplication of rearrangement work may be reduced to a
minimum, and that services rendered by those parties will not be unnecessarily interrupted.
In the event of interruption to water or utility services as a result of accidental
breakage or as result of being exposed or unsupported, the Contractor shall promptly notify the
proper authority. Contractor shall cooperate with said authority in the restoration of service as
promptly as possible. In no case shall interruption to water service be allowed to exist outside

The Contractor must cooperate with the utility companies and schedule work in such
a manner as to protect the existing utility facilities until the facilities are abandoned or
replacement facilities are completed. In instances where partial grading is necessary before a
utility can install its facilities, the Contractor shall consult with the utility and plan the work so
reasonable time can be allowed the utility for completing its work.
7.14 No Waiver of Legal Rights. The City shall not be precluded or estopped by any
measurement, estimate, or certificate made either before or after the completion and
acceptance of the work and payment therefor from showing the true amount and character of
the work performed and materials furnished by the Contractor, nor from showing that such
measurement, estimate, or certificate is untrue or is incorrectly made, nor that the work or
materials do not in fact conform to the contract. The City shall not be precluded or estopped,
notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate, or certificate and payment in accordance
therewith, from recovering from the Contractor or Contractor's sureties, or both, such damage
as it may sustain by reason of Contractor's failure to comply with the terms of the contract.
Neither the acceptance by the City or any representative of the City, nor any payment for or
acceptance of the whole or any part of the work, nor any extension of time, nor any possession
taken by the City shall operate as a waiver of any portion of the contract or of any power herein
reserved or of any right to damages. A waiver of any breach of the contract shall not be held to
be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
7.15 Exposure of Pipe or Manholes. The Contractor shall conduct the work at all
times in such a manner as will insure no disruption to the normal function of the sanitary sewer
collection system. Particular attention shall be paid to the threat of introduction of storm water
or other waters to the piping and manholes of the collection system. The Contractor shall take
whatever precautions are necessary, such as, but not limited to installation of plugs in exposed
pipes and manholes when work is not in progress or when leaving the work site. The
Contractor will be held responsible for damages which may occur to either the collection system
or to private property through introduction of storm water or other waters to exposed piping or
manholes relating to the construction work.
1-17
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 162 / 405
SECTION 8 - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
8.01 Subletting or Assigning of Contract. The Contractor will not be permitted to sublet,
assign, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the contract or any portion thereof or Contractor's
right, title, or interest therein or to either legally or equitably assign any of the money payable
under Contractor's contract or claim thereto without the written consent of Contractor's surety
and the Engineer. The Contractor will not be relieved of any responsibility through any of the
above actions.
8.02 Prosecution of Work. The bid for each project will show the contract period. The
progress of the work shall be at a rate sufficient to complete the contract within the contract
period. If it appears that the rate of progress is such that the contract will not be completed
within the contract period or if the work is not being executed in a satisfactory and workmanlike
manner, the City may order the Contractor to take such steps as it considers necessary to
complete the contract within the period of time specified or to prosecute the work in a
satisfactory manner. If the Contractor fails to comply with such order within two (2) weeks after
receipt of the order, Contractor shall automatically be disqualified from receiving any additional
contract awards, and the City shall have the right to declare the contract in default and to
complete the work in accordance with these specifications under section entitled Abrogation.
The Contractor's sequence of operations shall be such as to cause as little
inconvenience to the general public as possible.
The Contractor will be granted additional and suitable time for the prosecution of the
work, as was lost by reason of a delay or delays attributable to other parties authorized to do
work on the project over which the Contractor had no control or jurisdiction, as provided in these
specifications under section entitled Extension of Contract Period.
8.03 Limitations of Operations. The Contractor shall conduct the work at all times in such
a manner and in such sequence as will insure the least interference with traffic. Contractor shall
have due regard to the location of detours and to the provisions of handling traffic. Contractor
shall not open up work to the prejudice of work already started, and the Engineer may require
the Contractor to finish a section on which work is in progress before work is started on any
additional section. The Contractor shall so conduct operations and maintain the work in such
condition that adequate drainage shall be in effect at all times.
8.04 Methods and Equipment. The methods, equipment, and appliances used shall
produce a satisfactory quality of work and shall be adequate to maintain the schedule of
progress specified. Equipment used on any portion of the project shall be such that no injury to
the roadway, adjacent property, or other streets will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the
construction are not prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or
equipment that is demonstrated to accomplish the contract work in conformity with the
requirements of the contract to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
When the contract specifies that the construction be performed by the use of certain
methods and equipment, such methods and equipment shall be used unless others are
authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a method or type of equipment
other than those specified in the contract, a request may be made to the Engineer for authority
to do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods and
equipment proposed to be used and an explanation of the reasons for desiring to make the
change. If approval is given, it will be on the condition that the contractor will be fully responsible
for producing construction work in conformity with contract requirements. If, after trial use of the
substituted methods or equipment, the Engineer determines that the work produced does not
1-18
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 163 / 405
meet contract requirements, the Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or
equipment and shall complete the remaining construction with the specified methods and
equipment. The Contractor shall remove the deficient work and replace it with work of specified
quality or take such other corrective action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made
in basis of payment for the construction items involved nor in contract time as result of
authorizing a change in methods or equipment under these provisions.
8.05 Temporary Suspension of Work. Work shall be suspended wholly or in part when, in
the opinion of the Engineer, weather or other conditions are unfavorable to its satisfactory
prosecution. Work shall also be suspended at the direction of the Engineer pending settlement
of disputes arising out of failure of the Contractor to comply with the provisions of the contract.
Written notice of suspension of work shall be given by the Engineer. When the conditions
causing suspension no longer exist, such written notice shall be given to the Contractor by the
Engineer. Promptly after such written notice, the Contractor shall resume prosecution of the
work as provided in these specifications under section entitled Prosecution of Work.
8.06 Liquidated Damages. Time is an essential element of the contract, and it is
important that the work be pressed vigorously to completion.
For each calendar day that any work shall remain uncompleted after the end of the
contract period, the amount per calendar day specified in the bid form will be assessed, not as a
penalty but as predetermined and agreed liquidated damages. The City will prepare and
forward to the Contractor an invoice for such liquidated damages. The final payment will be
withheld until payment shall have been made of this invoice.
Due account shall be taken of any adjustment of the contract period granted under
the section of these specifications entitled Extension of Contract Period.
The assessment of liquidated damages for failure to complete the work within the
contract period shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to collect any additional damages
which the City may sustain by failure of the Contractor to carry out the terms of the contract.
8.07 Extension of Contract Period. An extension of the contract period may be granted
by the City for any of the following reasons:
1.Additional work resulting from a modification of the plans for the project
2.Delays caused by the City
3.Other reasons beyond the control of the Contractor which, in the City's judgment,
would justify such extension.
No extension of contract period will be allowed for variations between contract
quantities and actual quantities which cannot be predetermined and which amount to less than
twenty percent (20%) of the contract quantities.
8.08 Abrogation. If the Contractor abandons, sublets, or assigns the work under this
contract without the consent of the City, or if Contractor fails to give - personal attention to it, or
if it is the Engineer's opinion, and is so certified in writing to the Contractor and the City, that the
Contractor is violating any of the provisions of this contract or that Contractor is not prosecuting
the work in good faith or at the rate of progress specified, or that Contractor has unnecessarily
or unreasonably delayed or neglected the work or any part of it, written notice to that effect is to
be given to the Contractor by the Engineer. After such notice, no materials or equipment shall
be removed from the work. If, within five (5) days thereafter, the Contractor does not take steps,
which in the judgment of the Engineer will insure the satisfactory completion of the work, then
the City may declare this contract null and void and the security forfeited and may notify the
Contractor in writing to discontinue the work or any part of it; thereupon ceasing the Contractor's
right of possession of the ground and of all materials and equipment thereon. The City then, at
1-19
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 164 / 405
their option, may enter upon and take possession of the work with all materials, supplies, and
equipment remaining thereon and by contract or otherwise, as the City may determine, may
complete the work or the part of it designated and charge the expense thereof to the Contractor
using any materials or equipment found on the site. The expense so charged, together with all
damages incurred, will be deducted from any funds due or to become due under this contract
and, should the unexpended balance of these funds be insufficient, the excess shall be at the
cost of the Contractor and sureties on the Contractor's bond. Neither completion of a part of the
work nor the extension for any reason of the time of the completion of the work is to be
considered a waiver of this right to abrogate the contract for abandonment, delay, or
unsatisfactory work.
8.09 Termination of Contractor's Responsibility . The contract shall be considered
completed when the work has been accepted in writing by the City. Such acceptance shall
release the Contractor from all further obligation with respect thereto, except as to conditions
and requirement set forth in Contractor's bond.
SECTION 9 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
9.01 Payments. Payments for estimated work completed will be made only on certificates
of the Engineer at a regular City Council meeting.
The City, at its discretion, may include in such estimates payments for materials that
will eventually be incorporated in the project, provided that such materials are suitably stored on
the site of the project at the time of preparing estimates for payment. Such payment is to be
based upon the estimated value thereof as ascertained by the Engineer. Such material when
so paid for by the City shall not be removed from the project without consent of the City and, in
case of default on the part of the Contractor; the City may use or cause to be used by others
these materials in construction of the project.
The City will retain five percent (5%) of the estimated amount of work executed in an
approved manner and of the approved materials and apparatus suitably stored on the site.
Payment of the retained five percent (5%) will be made within sixty (60) days after
the formal approval and acceptance by the Engineer of all apparatus, materials, and work
embraced in the contract.
9.02 Payments Withheld. The City may withhold or, on account of subsequently
discovered evidence, nullify the whole or a part of any certificate to such extent as may be
necessary to protect itself from loss on account of:
1.Defective work not remedied
2.Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of claims
3.Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to subcontractors or
for materials or labor
4.A reasonable doubt that the contract can be completed for the balance
then unpaid
5.Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because
of them.
9.03 Acceptance and Final Payment. If final inspection reveals that all details of the work
have been completed satisfactorily, the Engineer shall tentatively accept the work, in writing,
relieving the Contractor of further responsibility for the care and maintenance of the completed
work and, provided that all equipment and materials have been removed from the right-of-way,
shall also relieve the Contractor of further public liability. As soon as possible after tentative
1-20
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 165 / 405
acceptance of the work, the Engineer shall measure the completed work and compute the
quantities of work for which payment is to be made. Before final settlement is made, the City
shall be satisfied with the completed work. When the Engineer is satisfied that all items of the
work have been found to be consistent with the terms of the contract and specifications, a final
estimate including the retained percentage due the Contractor shall be released for payment.
Release of the final estimate shall constitute final acceptance of the work.
All prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final
estimate and payment.
Extra work - See these specifications under section entitled Extra Work.
9.04 Payment for Extra Work. The Contractor will receive and accept payment for work
performed under the contract as follows:
1.Items of work performed which are covered by definite prices stipulated in the
contract. For all items of work performed which are covered by definite unit prices or lump sum
amounts specified in the contract, the Contractor shall receive and accept compensation at the
rate specified in the contract.
2.Extra work ordered by the Engineer, of a quality or class not covered by the
contract, will be paid for at an agreed price. For extra work ordered by the Engineer and
performed on an agreed price basis, the Engineer and the Contractor shall enter into a written
agreement, and have City Council approval, before such work is undertaken. This written
agreement shall describe the extra work that is to be done and shall specify the agreed price or
prices therefore.

completely filled with mortar and shall not be less than 1/4 inch and not more than 1/2
inch in thickness.
12.09 Integral Curb. Integral curb shall be constructed on the edge of the concrete
slab in accordance with the plans and typical cross section. This curb shall be placed
immediately after the concrete on the pavement has been placed and finished and
before it takes its initial set. That part of the pavement which is to be covered by the
integral curb shall be cleaned of all laitance and shall be roughened. Integral Curb will
be required on all new pavement construction. If construction is a very short section, the
Director of Public Works may allow an exception upon written request.
2-4
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 173 / 405
SECTION 13 - CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION
13.01 Forms and Form Setting. On all new mainline pavement construction, slip
form process will be required. If the Contractor wants to use standard forms rather than
slip forms because the area is small, they must submit a written request to the Director
of Public Works for an exception. If the request is granted, the contractor will be
required to meet certain requirements as listed herein. Outside forms shall be metal, of
depth equal to the design thickness of the pavement at its edge, and straight and free
from warp. When integral curb is required, the additional height represented by the curb
may be obtained by bolting extra forms upon the top of the main form. Wood forms or
flexible or curbed metal forms of proper radii shall be used for curves having radii of less
than 100 feet. The forms shall be neatly, tightly, and securely pinned and staked to the
line and grade furnished by the Engineer. They shall not at any time show a variation of
more than 1/8 inch in a ten (10) foot length from the true plane of top of forms. Shimming
with loose earth, pebbles, etc. will not be permitted.
Forms shall be cleaned and oiled before concrete is placed against them.
When pavement is being laid contiguous to previously finished concrete pavement of the
same finish grade elevation or contiguous to previously finished independent curb and
gutter, such finished pavement or curb and gutter may be made to serve as side forms
and as a guide for striking, tamping, and finishing equipment.
13.02 Air Entraining. When using specifications for State of Nebraska 47-B
concrete, the total air content shall be 6% plus or minus 1-1/2% by volume of the wet
concrete as determined by AASHTO Standard Method T-121 or ASTM Method C-231
and up to 9% for sand and gravel mix.
13.03 Consistency. The quantity of water shall be determined by the Engineer in
accordance with these specifications under section entitled Cement - 47-B (Modified)
and ABX (Modified) Concrete and not varied without the Engineer's consent. The
Contractor shall furnish and use with the mixer an approved adjustable water measuring
device which will prevent excess water flowing into the mixer so the consistency may be
under positive control and all batches may be of the same consistency.
In general, the minimum amount of water shall be used which will produce
the required workability. The mortar shall cling to the coarse aggregate and shall show
no free water when removed from the mixer. The upper surface of the set concrete shall
show a cement film upon the surface and shall be free from all laitance. In no case shall
an amount of water be used sufficient to cause the collection of a surplus on the surface
or to cause segregation during the transportation to place of deposit. The concrete must
be of workable consistency when placed.
13.04 Mixing. The mixing shall be done in a batch-mixer of approved type which
will insure the uniform distribution of the material throughout the mass so the mixture is
uniform in color and smooth in appearance. No mixer which has a capacity of less than
one-sack batch shall be used on any work. The concrete shall be mixed in quantities
required for immediate use. Concrete which has developed initial set or is not in place
within thirty (30) minutes after the water has been added shall not be used.
Retempering concrete by adding water or by other means will not be permitted.
2-5
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 174 / 405
The concrete shall be mixed for a period of at least one (1) minute after all
the ingredients are assembled in the drum with the drum revolving at a rate for which the
mixer was designed but, in no case, shall it be less than twelve (12) nor more than
twenty (20) resolutions per minute. The mixer shall be equipped with an attachment for
satisfactorily locking the discharging device to prevent the emptying before the minimum
time required. The entire contents of the drum shall be discharged before any materials
for the succeeding batch are placed therein.
No concrete shall be mixed while the air temperature is at or below 40
degrees Fahrenheit, except when specifically permitted by the Engineer. In such case,
all water used for mixing concrete shall be heated to a temperature of at least 70
degrees but not over 150 degrees Fahrenheit. When artificial heat is applied and the air
temperature is above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the mixed concrete shall not be less than
70 degrees Fahrenheit at the time of the placing in the forms, and no concrete shall be
placed in the forms when the air temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. In no
case shall material containing frost or lumps of hardened material be used. When
ready-mixed concrete is to be produced, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in
writing at least fourteen (14) days in advance of mixing operations as to location, type of
plant and equipment which they propose to use in proportioning, mixing, and hauling
concrete.
The Contractor shall furnish at least eight (8) standard 50 pound weights for
calibrating and testing scales used in weighing aggregates and cement.
Ready-mixed concrete shall be mixed and delivered to the site of work by
means of one of the following combinations of operations:
1.Mixed completely at a central mixing plant and the mixed
concrete transported to the point of delivery in a truck agitator
or in a truck mixer operating at agitator speed or in approved
non-agitating equipment (known as central-mixed concrete).
2.Mixed partially at a central mixing plant and mixing completed
in a truck mixer (known as transit-mixed concrete).
3.Aggregates and cement proportioned in a central plant and
mixed completely in a truck mixer (known as transit-mixed
concrete).
All mixers and agitators shall be operated within the limits of the
manufacturer's rated capacity. They shall be operated at the speed of rotation for which
the equipment was designed. Attached to each truck mixer and truck agitator shall be a
metal plate on which is stated the manufacturer's capacities in terms of volume of mixed
concrete and the manufacturer's stated speed of rotation for both mixing and agitation.
The truck mixer or agitator shall consist of a closed water-tight revolving drum
suitably mounted and fitted with adequate revolving blades. Truck mixers shall be
capable of combining aggregates, cement, and water into a thoroughly mixed and
uniform mass of concrete and of discharging the concrete without segregation. Truck
agitators shall be capable of transporting and discharging concrete without segregation.
For revolving drum type mixers the mixing speed shall not be less than seven
(7) revolutions per minute of the drum nor greater than that which will produce a
peripheral velocity of more than 225 feet per minute. For revolving blade type mixers,
the mixer speed shall not be less than six (6) nor more than sixteen (16) revolutions per
minute of the mixing blades. Agitation speed shall not be less than two (2) nor more
than six (6) revolutions per minute of the drum or mixing blades.
2-6
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 175 / 405
Concrete transported without agitation shall not be used if the period elapsed
between the time the concrete is discharged from the mixer and the time it is placed is
greater than thirty (30) minutes. Concrete transported with agitation shall not be used
when the cement has been in contact with the aggregate more than 1-1/2 hours before it
is placed.
13.05 Placing and Finishing.The concrete shall be deposited on the prepared
subgrade or on the granular foundation course so there shall be no separation of the
mortar and the aggregate, and then shall be spread to the required depth and for the
entire width of the pavement by approved methods, struck off, and finished.The
subgrade templet shall be drawn over the subgrade or foundation course ahead of the
point where concrete is being placed and shall be kept in position while the concrete is
being placed. The concrete shall be deposited on the subgrade or granular foundation
course between the forms in position and in such quantity as to make a uniform layer of
about one (1) inch greater than the required thickness. During the operation of striking
off the concrete, a uniform ridge of concrete at least three (3) inches in depth shall be
maintained ahead of the vibratory strike-off screed for its entire length.After being
deposited, it shall be consolidated along the forms and along all joints. At the end of the
day or in case of unavoidable interruption of more than thirty (30) minutes, a transverse
construction joint shall be placed at the point of stopping work, provided the section on
which the work has been suspended shall not be less than ten (10) feet in length. The
working edge of the screed shall be shaped to the required cross section of the
pavement. After the concrete has been properly consolidated and struck off, the entire
surface shall be floated longitudinally, from bridges, with a float at least twelve (12) feet
long and twelve (12) inches wide. If made of wood, this float shall be two (2) inches
thick. If made of metal, it shall have a weight approximately equal to a similar float made
of two (2) inch plank and shall be lined on its bottom face with wood, having rounded
edges. The float shall be operated by two men, one at each end, each man standing on
a bridge spanning the pavement.The longitudinal and transverse motion shall be
passed slowly from one side of the pavement to the other a sufficient number of times, at
least twice, until the float on its last passage shall show contact with the concrete
throughout its entire length.The bottom surface of the float shall remain flat on the
surface of the concrete during the entire operation of longitudinal floating.The next
section to be floated shall overlap the one previously floated by half the length of the
float.
After the concrete has been floated longitudinally, the surface shall be floated
transversely using a float of 1"x12" material three (3) to four (4) feet in length and fitted
with a handle of sufficient length to permit the float to reach just beyond the center line.
Any high or low areas exposed as a result of this floating shall be corrected prior to belt
finishing.
After the concrete has been floated transversely and the water sheen has
disappeared from the surface of the pavement, the final finish shall be given with a
canvas or rubber belt, burlap drag or brooming, or any combination of the above as
directed by the Engineer.
If belting is selected, it shall be accomplished with a belt of two to four ply
having a width of not less than six (6) inches and a length at least two (2) feet greater
than the width of the pavement. The belt shall be operated with a combined crosswise
and longitudinal motion, care being taken not to work the crown out of the pavement or
to permit the edges of the belt to dip into the surface of the concrete.
2-7
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 176 / 405
If a broom finish is selected, it shall be accomplished by drawing a broom
across the surface from the center line toward each side with the broom held
perpendicular to the surface with only one stroke of the broom on each portion of the
surface. (If the pavement is being constructed lane-at-a-time, the broom shall be drawn
across the full width of each lane in one operation.) The broom shall be of the push
broom type not less than 18" wide made from bass or bassine fiber not more than five
(5) inches long and with a handle at least one (1) foot longer than the width of pavement
being broomed in one operation. The brooming operations shall be executed so the
corrugation will be uniform in appearance and not more than 1/16 inch in depth.
If a burlap drag finish is selected, it shall be accomplished by drawing a wet
burlap, carpet, or canvas drag over the surface in a longitudinal direction. The drag shall
be at least two (2) feet longer than the width of the slab being placed and shall be wide
enough so about three (3) feet will be in contact with the pavement while it is in use. If
burlap is used, the drag shall consist of not less than two (2) layers. Drags shall be
rinsed or washed as often as necessary to remove hardened particles which would mar
the uniform surface that would be obtained with a clean drag.
13.06 Surface Test. Before final finishing and previous to initial set, the surface of
the pavement shall be tested under the supervision of the Engineer. All irregularities or
undulations not within the tolerance of the following test shall be corrected with fresh
concrete and the affected surface brought within the requirement of the test and
refinished if necessary. The test shall be made with a transverse testing templet and
straightedge at least ten (10) feet long.The templet shall be accurately shaped in
conformity with the typical cross section and shall be subject to the approval of the
Engineer. The templet shall be used to test the shape of the surface transversel, the
straightedge for longitudinal trueness. The straightedge shall be placed parallel to the
center line so as to bridge any depressions and touch any high spots.Ordinates
exceeding one fourth inch measured from the face of the templet or straightedge when
in position at any point shall be eliminated by means of a long-handled wood float.
As soon as the pavement has set sufficiently to permit walking on it and not
later than 10:00 a.m. of the day following the placing of the concrete, it shall be
thoroughly checked by the inspector with a straightedge. All variations in excess of one
fourth inch measured from the surface of the straightedge when it is placed parallel to
the center line shall be plainly marked. The Contractor shall at once eliminate such
variations by the use of approved grinding tools or carborundum brick and water. The
work of grinding or rubbing shall not be performed in such manner or carried to such
extremes that the bond of the concrete shall be broken. The use of brush hammer or
similar device to remove irregularities after the concrete has taken its final set will not be
permitted. All templets, straightedges, and other testing devices shall be furnished by
the Contractor.
13.07 Headers. Concrete headers extending to full depth and width of the
pavement shall be constructed at locations shown on the plans. They shall be
constructed to the dimensions and design called for in the plans.
2-8
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 177 / 405
13.08 Transverse Construction Joints. Whenever concreting is stopped for a period
of over thirty (30) minutes, a transverse construction joint shall be formed by finishing the
concrete to a bulkhead made of two (2) inch material cut to the exact cross section of the
pavement slab, as shown in the plans. When the concreting is resumed, the bulkhead
shall be moved taking care not to disturb any concrete placed. The joints shall be
constructed perpendicular to both the center line and the surface of the pavement. In no
case shall an emergency construction joint be allowed within ten (10) feet after placing a
regular expansion or construction joint. If the joint falls within this limit, the concrete shall
be removed back to the previously installed joint.
When a construction joint is placed at a location where integral curb is being
constructed, a piece of pre-formed joint material one half inch in thickness and
conforming to the cross section of the curb shall be placed through the curb at the
construction joint. The edges of the concrete shall be rounded to a radius of not more
than one fourth inch.
13.9 Transverse Expansion Joints. Expansion joints shall be of a premoulded
bituminous fiber type conforming to these specifications under the section entitled Joint
Filler.
The joint shall extend entirely through the pavement and the joint filler shall
be placed so the top edge will be one half inch below the surface of the finished
pavement. No section of the joint material shall be shorter than the width of pavement
strip between longitudinal joints. Before the pavement is opened to traffic, this space
shall be swept, cleaned, and filled with approved joint sealing material.
The pre-formed expansion joint material shall be held securely by means of a
special metal joint holder and removable cap, perpendicular to both the center line and
the surface of the pavement. The metal joint holder and cap shall remain in place until
after the passage of the concrete spreader. After the concrete has been finished, the
metal joint holder and cap shall be removed and the edge of the concrete rounded to a
radius of not more than one fourth inch. When integral curb is being constructed, an
additional piece of pre-formed material of the same cross section as the curb shall be
extended through the curb and to the top surface of the pavement. The joints shall be
so installed and finished to insure complete separation of the slabs.
13.10 Transverse Contraction Joints. Transverse contraction joints shall be
constructed at intervals of not less than ten (10) feet or more than sixteen (16) feet. The
joints shall be true and straight to the center line and surface of the pavement. Variation
of more than one half inch in ten (10) feet from a straight line will not be permitted. The
joint shall be placed so its junction with the longitudinal joint will be a neat fitting
connection. All transverse contraction joints shall be done by the saw cut method. To
prevent the development of random cracks, joints at approximately eighty (80) feet
intervals shall be sawed the same day as the pour is made. All other transverse
contraction joints shall be sawed the following afternoon.
13.11 Longitudinal Joints. Longitudinal contraction joints, when required, shall be in
accordance with the requirements for transverse contraction joints.
All sawed longitudinal joints shall be sawed before the concrete has attained
an age of seven (7) days and before the pavement is opened to any vehicular traffic.
2-9
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 178 / 405
13.12 Curing. As soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent
excessive marring of the surface or adherence thereto, the concrete shall be protected
with a single covering of burlap, placed and kept saturated for at least twelve (12) hours.
As soon as the burlap is removed, the top surface and the edges of the pavement shall
be covered with a continuous uniform nonbituminous impervious coating. The curing
compound may be applied in either one or two applications in accordance with the
directions of the manufacturer. However, if applied in two coatings, the second shall be
applied not later than thirty (30) minutes after the first. In no case shall the rate of
application be less than one (1) gallon per fifteen (15) square yards of surface area.
The sides of the pavement slab or back side of integral curb shall be covered
with the curing compound within thirty (30) minutes after removal of the form.
When wet cotton mats, wet jute felt mats, paper, or any other method than
curing compound is to be used for curing, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in
writing at least fourteen (14) days in advance giving the type and specifications of
material and method to be used.
When it is expected that during the progress of the work the temperature may
fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a sufficient supply of straw, hay, grass, or other
material suitable, in the judgment of the Engineer, must be maintained on hand to cover
the concrete and to sufficiently protect the surface and edges against freezing until it is
at least ten (10) days old. In such case, at the discretion of the Engineer, wetting and
spraying may be omitted. Manure shall not be used as a protection for green concrete.
Whenever the temperature falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, freshly finished concrete
shall be protected by frames enclosed by canvas or other type of housing and the
temperature of the air surrounding the concrete shall be maintained at not less than 45
degrees Fahrenheit. Sufficient heating apparatus, such as lanterns, suitable stoves, or
steam equipment, shall be furnished and maintained by the Contractor. Any concrete
showing injury by freezing on uncovering shall be removed and replaced at the expense
of the Contractor.
13.13 Sealing of Joints. Joint sealing operations shall not be started until after final
curing is completed. All joints which require sealing shall be thoroughly cleaned by a jet
of compressed air. Any excess mortar or concrete shall be cut out with chisels. Joints
shall be filled only when completely dry. The filler used shall be material as specified in
these specifications under the section entitled Joint Sealing Material. The cleaning and
filling shall be carefully done with proper equipment and a neat workmanlike joint
obtained, free from excess and unsightly filler.
The joint sealing material shall be melted uniformly and with constant stirring
in an asphalt kettle of such design that direct flames are not applied to the immediate
surfaces of the kettle which are in contact with the joint sealing material. The material
shall be furnished or prepared in pieces of such size and shape that the material can be
melted readily to the proper pouring consistency. The heating of the material shall be
arranged to minimize the length of time during which the temperature of the material
exceeds 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In no case shall the temperature exceed the
maximum recommended by the manufacturer. The joints shall be filled with the use of a
pouring device which is satisfactory to the Engineer. Precautions shall be taken to
prevent spilling material on surfaces of the pavement adjacent to the joint.
13.14 Protection. The Contractor shall provide and maintain substantial barricades,
warning signs, and flares to provide the public and the construction work adequate
protection and keep all traffic off the pavement.
2 - 10
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 179 / 405
13.15 Opening to Traffic. Before any traffic is permitted on the concrete, all curing
and protecting materials other than membrane shall be carefully removed from the
finished work and the concrete shall be swept clean. No section of pavement shall be
opened to traffic until the concrete has reached a minimum age of fourteen (14) days or
compression strength of 3000 psi.
The Contractor's forces may be allowed on the pavement for the purpose of
clean up work any time after the concrete has reached a minimum age of seven (7)
days.
13.16 Acceptance. The Contractor shall furnish a minimum of two (2) cores at
locations designated by the Engineer for each 1000 square yards of pavement placed,
and the acceptance of the pavement may be governed by the quality and thickness as
shown by the cores. Slabs of pavement which are found to be more than one half inch
short of the specified thickness shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor's
expense with concrete of specified quality and thickness. If, however, in the opinion of
the Engineer, there is no probability of immediate failure of such deficient slabs, they
may allow the Contractor the choice of leaving the defective slabs in place and receiving
no compensation or payment for the same or of replacing the pavement slab as provided
above.
If the average strength of test cores or test cylinders, cured at a temperature
within the range of 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, is more than ten percent (10%) below
the required strength, the Engineer may elect either to permit such pavement to remain
in place and limit the payment for such defective work to a maximum of 90% of the
contract unit price or require the Contractor, at Contractor's expense, to remove the
pavement area deficient in the specified strength and replace it with pavement of
satisfactory quality.
SECTION 14 - METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF PAYMENT
14.01 Clearing and Grubbing. Clearing and grubbing of trees larger than six (6)
inches in diameter will be measured for payment by counting the actual number of trees
removed. The diameters of trees will be computed by measuring the circumference and
dividing by 3.14. Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per each tree at the

SECTION 17 -CONSTRUCTION METHODS
17.01 Subgrade Preparation. The subgrade shall be prepared by excavating or filling
to the required elevation for bottom of concrete. The subgrade shall be thoroughly
tamped or otherwise compacted to insure stability. In fills, the subgrade shall be made
at least one foot wider on each side than required by the curb and gutter, sidewalk, or
driveway.
Stakes will be set by the City Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department for line and grade after a sidewalk permit has been issued by the Public
Works Department. The subgrade shall slope toward the street curb on a grade of not
less than one-fourth inch per foot.
Where fill is required, it will be laid in six (6) inch layers and thoroughly tamped to
the satisfaction of the Engineer. Mushy or spongy material will not be used for fill
material. Soft and spongy material will be removed and replaced with suitable backfill
material.
Trees that are in the way of the sidewalk will be removed including the stump.
Roots of trees that are located outside the sidewalk but extend under the sidewalk shall
be cut off at least six (6) inches below the sidewalk.
17.02 Forms and Form Setting. The forms shall be of wood or metal, straight and
free from warp, and of sufficient strength to resist springing during the process of
depositing concrete against them. All forms shall be securely staked, braced, and held
firmly to the required line and grade. All forms shall be thoroughly cleaned and oiled
before concrete is placed against them.
3-2
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 185 / 405
Wood forms shall be not less than 1-5/8 inches in thickness except for curvilinear
sections where properly braced forms of lesser thickness may be used.
Tolerances of 1/8 to 1/4 inch shall be maintained for form alignment and vertical
elevation.
17.03 Concrete.Concrete shall conform to Division 11, Portland Cement Concrete
Pavement.
Concrete shall be mixed in an approved mixer with sufficient water added to
produce a workable mix. In no case shall so much water be used as to cause the
collection of a surplus on the surface or to cause segregation during transportation to
place of deposit. All materials shall be accurately weighed or measured, and mixing
shall continue for a full minute after all materials are in the drum of the mixer. Any
concrete which is not in place within thirty (30) minutes after the water has been added
shall not be used.
The operation of depositing and compacting concrete shall be conducted so as to
form a compact, dense, artificial stone of uniform texture which shall show smooth faces
on all exposed surfaces.
Transit-mixed or ready-mixed concrete may be used provided the concrete is
placed in the forms before it has developed initial set and shall comply with ASTM C95-
58 and the requirements of these specifications. Such concrete must be transported in
such a way as to prevent segregation between the aggregates and the cement.
Concrete shall develop an ultimate compressive strength of not less than figures shown
in Section 11.01 when tested in standard 6" x 12" cylinders at an age of twenty-eight (28)
days in accordance with ASTM C39-56T.
Hand mixing of concrete will not be permitted except with specific permission of
the City Engineer on very small jobs or in case of emergency.
The concrete surface shall be treated with a liquid treatment for curing such as
Tri-Kote or approved equal or burlap cure or plastic covering may be used in the
concrete cure. The plastic film used for curing concrete or subgrade insulating material
shall be tough, pliable, moisture-proof, and sufficiently durable to retain its moisture
proof properties. The plastic film can be a polyethylene film not less than 0.001 inch
thick. Reinforcement materials where required or as shown on the plans and wire mesh
shall comply with ASTM A-185 and reinforcing bars where required shall conform to
ASTM A-15 or A305.
Air entrained concrete shall be obtained by using air-entrained Portland cement
or air-entraining admixtures. Air content of fresh concrete shall measure six (6) to nine
(9) percent. Air entrained concrete shall be used for all sidewalks, driveways, and curb
and gutter.
The use of high-early strength Portland cement concrete will not be required
unless stipulated in the plans and in the Special Provisions on certain contracts.
Concrete shall not be placed when inclement weather prevents good
workmanship. Concrete shall not be placed when temperature is below 40 degrees F
without specific permission of the Engineer.
The surface shall be wood floated to give a proper roughness to prevent foot
slippage for normal foot traffic.
The cross slope shall be 1/4 inch per foot of width of sidewalk.
The sidewalk after pouring shall be protected from foot traffic for twenty-four (24)
hours and vehicle traffic for seven (7) days.
3-3
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 186 / 405
17.04 Expansion Joints. Expansion joints shall be placed as indicated on the
drawings or at each location where new construction connects with existing construction.
Specifically, joints shall be placed where new curb and gutter joins existing curb and
gutter, where sidewalks connect to curb and gutter, and at such other locations as the
Engineer may direct. On long runs of new construction, joints shall be placed as
directed. In no case shall the spacing between expansion joints exceed one hundred
(100) feet.
SECTION 18 - CURB AND GUTTER
Concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed to the lines, grades, dimensions
and design as called for in the drawings.
There shall be installed every six (6) feet a separator true to the dimensions and
cross-section of the combined curb and gutter. This separator shall be removed after
the concrete has taken its initial set and the joint properly edged to provide a neat joint.
In finishing joints prior to and after removal of separators, extreme care shall be
exercised to avoid raising the edge of the joint causing water pockets in the gutter flow
line. Separators shall not exceed 1/8 inch in thickness. Immediately following finished
operations and before the concrete has taken its final set, the gutter flow line shall be
checked with a straightedge not less than ten (10) feet in length and approved by the
Engineer.
The maximum deviation from true grade shall not exceed 1/4 inch and any
irregularities shall be corrected immediately.
SECTION 19 - SIDEWALKS
Concrete sidewalks shall be constructed to the lines and grades determined by
the Engineer. Sidewalks shall have a minimum width of four (4) feet and a depth of four
(4) inches and shall be constructed with a side slope of 1/4 inch per foot unless
otherwise approved by the Engineer or Engineer's representative. Surfaces shall be
marked off in square blocks having an area of not less than sixteen (16) nor more than
thirty-six (36) feet. On these lines, the concrete shall be cut through not less than 1/4
inch thickness with a pointed trowel or suitable spading tool and the concrete edged on
both sides.
Sidewalks that are being constructed across driveway openings shall have a
minimum depth of five (5) inches.
The surface shall be floated with a steel float just enough to produce a smooth
surface, free from irregularities. All edges and joints shall be rounded to a radius of 1/4
inch with an approved finishing tool. The surface shall then be brushed with a fine bristle
broom or wood float to slightly roughen the surface and remove the finishing tool marks.
SECTION 20 - DRIVEWAYS
Driveway approaches connecting private driveways to City streets shall be
constructed with Portland cement concrete except where the private driveway connects
to a full depth asphalt street. Where the driveway connects to a full depth asphalt street,
asphaltic concrete may be used in construction of the driveway approach.
3-4
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 187 / 405
Driveway approaches shall be constructed to the lines and grade set by the
Engineer. The minimum depth of both Portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete
for driveway approaches shall be five (5) inches and, in the event heavy loads are
anticipated, the depth shall be increased to handle the expected loads.
SECTION 21 - METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS OF PAYMENT
21.01 Curb and Gutter.Combination curb and gutter will be measured for
payment by length in linear feet. Measurements will be made along the flow line of the
gutter.
21.02 Sidewalks. Sidewalks will be measured for payment by area in square feet.
21.03 Driveways. Driveways as referred to in this paragraph are that portion of
existing driveway approaches having to be removed behind the construction lines of
pavement due to the driveway approach lying partly within the area between
construction lines. Driveways will be measured for payment in area in square yards.
21.04 Expansion and Miscellaneous Joints. Expansion joints and all miscellaneous
joints using pre-molded bituminous fiber will be considered incidental to the construction
and not as a separate pay item.
21.05 Acceptance. Upon completion of a job, the Engineer shall be notified, and they
shall make an inspection of the work. The Contractor will be notified in writing as to the
acceptability of the work.

sole responsibility of the Contractor to notify the City Water Department through the resident
Engineer a minimum of 24 hours in advance as to when and for how long service will be
interrupted and also to notify all water users well in advance so they might prepare themselves
for the period during which service might be interrupted. Valves shall not be opened or closed
by anyone other than City Water Department personnel.
32.07.1 Connection to City Mains. Newly installed piping shall not be connected to existing
City mains until acceptance of all pressure and bacteria tests, unless otherwise noted on the
plans. Test plugs, corporations, connecting sleeves, dewatering, and temporary piping to a
water source, shall be furnished and installed by the Contractor.
City reserves the right to inspect the installation of all private water lines 2” or larger.
Contractor must notify Utility Engineering Manager at least 48 hours in advance of installing and
pipe, fittings, or appurtenances.
32.07.2 Line Stoppers. When necessary to isolate sections of water lines for maintenance,
repairs, lowering, or for other reasons when service interruptions in an existing main are not
allowed, line-stoppers shall be used to eliminate system shut-down.
Line-stoppers shall be defined as a complete modular system of equipment specifically
designed for plugging water lines in order to temporarily stop the flow of water as may be
required for repair, replacement, and / or relocation of water main components. The flow control
device shall be inserted at normal water main pressure.
Line-stoppers, inserted into mains twenty inch (20”) dia. or smaller, shall be furnished
and installed by the Grand Island Water Department. The actual material expense and labor
costs associated with the use of such line-stoppers shall be charged to the Contractor.
In water lines larger than twenty inch (20”) dia., the Contractor shall make arrangements
for line-stoppers to be furnished and installed by a firm specializing in their use, with extensive
experience in their equipment’s operation. Prior to installation, all devices shall be thoroughly
checked, cleaned, and sanitized by the Contractor. The City’s Water Department shall inspect
all equipment and issue final approval before installation of line-stoppers.
The Contractor shall be responsible for all excavations and properly maintaining trench

January 28, 2020
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 202 / 405
except as otherwise specified. The City will furnish calibrated gauges for the tests and a source
of water.
After distribution pipe has been laid, all new potable water systems, 2” dia. and larger,
and each valved section thereof, shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of at least one and
one half (1-1/2) times the working pressure (100 PSI minimum) at the point of testing. All
privately owned lines, 2” dia. and larger, shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of at least
200 psi.
Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water, and the specified test
pressure shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner
satisfactory to the Engineer. Valves shall not be operated in either the opening or closing
direction at differential pressures above the rated pressure. When hydrants are in the test
section, the pressure test shall be made against closed hydrant valves.
Before applying the specified test pressure, air shall be expelled completely from the
pipe, valves, and hydrants. If permanent air vents are not located at all high points, corporation
cocks shall be installed at such points so the air can be expelled as the line is filled with water.
After all the air has been expelled, the corporation cocks shall be closed, and the test pressure
applied. At the conclusion of the pressure test, the corporation cocks shall be removed and
plugged by the Contractor.
When the specified pressure has been reached, the valve between the pump and the
pipeline shall be closed, and the pump shall be disconnected and removed. The test pressure
shall remain for a minimum of two (2) hours. If the pressure varies more than two pounds per
square inch plus or minus (2 PSI+/-) during the duration of the test, it shall be extended for
twenty-four (24) hours to satisfy those concerned that the decrease in the pressure is not due to
thermal-volume changes of the water in the line. At the end of the twenty-four (24) hour period,
the pressure shall be brought back up to the specified pressure and observed for two (2) hours.
During the pressure test, any exposed pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants, and joints shall be
examined carefully. Any damaged or defective pipe, fittings, valves, hydrants, or joints that are
discovered shall be repaired or replaced with sound material, and the test shall be repeated until
it is satisfactory to the Owner.
32.10 Sterilization, Flushing and Sampling of Lines. All new potable water systems, 2” dia.
and larger, and each valved section thereof, shall be disinfected before they are placed in
service. All water mains taken out of service for inspecting, repairing, or other activity that might
lead to contamination of water shall be disinfected before they are returned to service. The
Contractor shall furnish all labor, pumps, pipe connections, additional line plugs, adapters, caps,
and all other necessary apparatus and materials. All work shall conform to the AWWA
Standard, DISINFECTING WATER MAINS, ANSI/AWWA C651 and subsequent revisions,
except as otherwise specified.
Precautions shall be taken to protect the interiors of pipes, fittings, and valves against
contamination. All materials delivered for construction shall be stored so as to minimize
entrance of foreign material. All openings in the pipeline shall be closed with water tight plugs
when pipe laying is stopped at the close of the day’s work or for other reasons, such as rest
breaks or meal periods.
Immediately prior to installing any pipe or fittings, the Contractor shall swab the interior
of the pipe or fittings with a minimum 2% hypochlorite disinfecting solution.
After acceptance of the pressure and leakage test, the main shall be filled with water at a
rate such that water within the main will flow at a velocity no greater than one (1) foot per
second. Precautions shall be taken to assure that air pockets are eliminated. When all air has
been eliminated, the main shall be flushed to remove particulates. The flushing velocity in the
main shall not be less than three (3) feet per second for distribution mains and domestic
services and ten (10) feet per second for fire service lines, unless the City determines that
6-10
January 28, 2020
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 203 / 405
conditions do not permit the required flow to be discharged to waste. The main isolation valve
shall not be operated for flushing or re-chlorination until a downstream hydrant is opened.
During such operations, the main isolation valve shall only be operated by Utility Department
personnel.
After the initial flushing operation, the main shall be disinfected by chlorination.
Chlorination will commence at a point not more than ten feet (10’) downstream from the
beginning of the new main. Water from an approved supply source, shall be made to flow at a
constant and measured rate into the newly laid water main, and shall receive a dose of chlorine,
fed at a constant rate such that the water will have not less than twenty five (25) mg/L free
chlorine. The chlorine shall be applied to the water main by injecting a hypochlorite solution by
means of a chemical-feed pump designed for feeding chlorine solutions.
Feed lines shall be of such material and strength as to safely withstand the corrosion
caused by the concentrated chlorine solutions and the maximum pressures that may be created
by the pumps. All connections shall be checked for tightness before the solution is applied to
the main. During the application of chlorine, valves shall be positioned so the strong chlorine
solution in the main being treated will not flow into water mains in active service. Chlorine
application shall not cease until the entire main is filled with heavily chlorinated water.
The chlorinated water shall be retained in the main for at least twenty-four (24) hours
and a maximum ninety-six (96) hours, during which time all valves and hydrants in the treated
section shall be operated to ensure disinfection of the appurtenances. At the end of this
retention period, the treated water in all portions of the main shall have a residual of not less
than ten (10) mg/L free chlorine. After the applicable retention period, the heavily chlorinated
water shall be flushed from the main until chlorine measurements show that the concentration in
the water leaving the main is no higher than five-tenths (0.5) mg/L or as prevailing in the
system.
The Contractor shall provide a means of disposing of the water and sterilizer so as to
prevent damage to the environment during flushing operations. If there is any question that the
chlorinated discharge will cause damage to the environment, then the Contractor shall supply a
reducing agent to the water to be wasted to neutralize thoroughly the chlorine residual
remaining in the water. Where necessary, Federal, State and local regulatory agencies shall be
contacted to determine special provisions for the disposal of heavily chlorinated water.
After final flushing and before new water main is connected to the main system, two
consecutive sets of acceptable samples, taken at least twenty-four (24) hours apart, shall be
collected from the new main. At least one set of samples shall be collected from every 1,200
feet of the new water main, plus one set from the end of the line, and one set from each branch.
Samples shall show the absence of coliform bacteria,per Nebraska DHHS
requirements, to pass. Following successful sampling and testing of the line, the Contractor
shall remove all testing apparatus and plug the main at the point of injection of the disinfectant
and flushing discharge.
Samples for bacteriological analysis shall be collected in sterile bottles treated with
sodium thiosulfate as required by “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater.” No hose or fire hydrant shall be used in collection of samples. Sample tubing
shall be a maximum of one inch (1”) dia. and devices shall be clean and disinfected with
isopropyl rubbing alcohol or a 2% chlorine solution, and flushed prior to sampling. Sterilization
by flame is not permitted. The Utility Department shall collect the final certification samples of
record to check for complete disinfection. If the initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory
bacteriological samples, the main shall be re-chlorinated in accordance with this section until
satisfactory results are obtained.
The Contractor shall have the opportunity to perform the actual chlorination using the
Contractor’s own personnel and equipment. The Contractor shall notify the Utility Engineering
Division in writing at least 48 hours in advance of any work to disinfect the main. If the

SECTION 34 – POLYETHYLENE ENCASEMENT
34.01 Scope of Work. This section includes the Contractor furnishing materials and installation
procedures for polyethylene encasement to be applied to all underground installations of ductile-
iron pipe, fittings, valves, and other appurtenances to ductile-iron pipe systems. In general, all
materials and installation shall conform to the AWWA Standard, POLYETHYLENE
ENCASEMENT FOR DUCTILE-IRON PIPE SYSTEMS, ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 and
subsequent revisions, and as additionally specified herein.
34.01.1 Soil Testing. The Contractor shall furnish materials and shall field apply polyethylene
encasement to all ductile-iron pipe, fittings, valves, and other appurtenances associated with the
piping system unless such corrosion protection measures shall not be required as determined
by soil testing previously conducted by the City of Grand Island.
In areas where the Utilities Department has not yet made a determination on soil
characteristics, the Contractor shall have the opportunity to have performed soil tests to
determine if polyethylene pipe encasement should be used. If this option is selected, the
Contractor shall hire an independent testing laboratory to evaluate conditions that may affect
their corrosive rate on ductile-iron pipe. Analysis shall only be conducted by personnel who are
6-17
January 28, 2020
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 210 / 405
experienced in environmental factors which may contribute to the corrosion of the proposed
piping system. Such test shall be at the Contractor’s expense and not a claim for extra work.
All sampling collection, analysis, and evaluation shall fully comply and conform to the
AWWA Standard, POLYETHYLENE ENCASEMENT FOR DUCTILE-IRON PIPE SYSTEMS,
ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5; APPENDIX A – “Notes on Procedures for Soil Survey Tests and
Observations and Their Interpretation to Determine Whether Polyethylene Encasement Should
Be Used”, and subsequent revisions.
The Contractor shall deliver to the Utilities Director certified copies of such soil test
results at least 48 hours in advance of any work on the installation of the water main. The
Utilities Department shall review and make a determination from the data submitted.
34.02 Materials. Film shall be high-density, cross-laminated polyethylene or linear low-density
polyethylene film manufactured of virgin polyethylene material. Film shall meet all the listed
requirements for polyethylene film specified in the AWWA Standard, POLYETHYLENE
ENCASEMENT FOR DUCTILE-IRON PIPE SYSTEMS, ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5.
The polyethylene film shall have a nominal thickness of 0.008 in. (8 mil). Tube size or
sheet width for each pipe diameter shall be as listed on Standard Plan No. 155.
34.03 Installation. The polyethylene encasement shall prevent contact between the pipe and
the surrounding backfill and bedding material, but is not intended to be a completely airtight or
watertight enclosure. All lumps of clay, mud, cinders, etc. on the pipe surface shall be removed
prior to installation of the polyethylene encasement. During the installation, care shall be
exercised to prevent soil or embedment material from becoming trapped between the pipe and
the polyethylene.
The polyethylene film shall be fitted to the contour of the pipe to affect a snug, but not
tight, encasement with minimum space between the polyethylene and the pipe.
Sufficient slack shall be provided in contouring to prevent stretching the polyethylene where it
bridges irregular surfaces, such as bell-spigot interfaces, bolted joints, or fittings, and to prevent
damage to the polyethylene due to backfilling operations. Overlaps and ends shall be secured
with adhesive tape or other material capable of holding the polyethylene encasement in place
until backfilling operations are complete.
For installations below the water table, both ends of the polyethylene tube shall be
sealed as thoroughly as possible with adhesive tape at the joint overlap. This standard includes
three methods of installation of polyethylene encasement on pipe. Methods A and B are for use
with polyethylene tubes and Method C is for use with polyethylene sheets.
34.03.1 Method A. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene tube to a length
approximately two (2) ft. longer than the pipe section. Slip the tube around the pipe, centering it
to provide a one (1) ft. overlap on each adjacent pipe section, and bunching it accordion-fashion
lengthwise until it clears the pipe ends.
Lower the pipe into the trench and make up the pipe joint with the preceding section of
pipe. A shallow bell hole must be made at joints to facilitate installation of the polyethylene
tube.
After assembling the pipe joint, make the overlap of the polyethylene tube. Pull the
bunched polyethylene from the preceding length of pipe, slip it over the end of the new length of
pipe, and secure it in place. Take up the slack width at the top of the pipe to make a snug, but
not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold at quarter points.
Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired.
Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner.
6-18
January 28, 2020
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 211 / 405
34.03.2 Method B. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene tube to a length
approximately one (1) ft. shorter than that of the pipe section. Slip the tube around the pipe,
centering it to provide 6” in. of bare pipe at each end. Take up the slack width at the top of the
pipe to make a snug, but not tight, fit along the barrel of the pipe, securing the fold at quarter
points.
Before making up a joint, slip a 4-ft length of polyethylene tube over the end of the
preceding pipe section, bunching it accordion-fashion lengthwise. After completing the joint, pull
the 4-ft length of polyethylene over the joint, overlapping the polyethylene previously installed on
each adjacent section of pipe by at least one (1) ft., make each end snug and secure.
Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired.
Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner.
34.03.3 Method C. (Refer to Standard Plan No. 155) Cut polyethylene sheet to a length
approximately two (2) ft. longer than that of the pipe section. Center the cut length to provide a
one (1) ft. overlap on each adjacent pipe section, bunching it until it clears the pipe ends. Wrap
the polyethylene around the pipe so that it circumferentially overlaps the top quadrant of the
pipe. Secure the cut edge of polyethylene sheet at intervals of approximately 3 ft.
Lower the wrapped pipe into the trench and make up the pipe joint with the preceding
section of pipe. A shallow bell hole must be made at joints to facilitate installation of the
polyethylene. After completing the joint, make the overlap and secure the ends.
Any cuts, tears, punctures, or other damage to the polyethylene shall be repaired.
Proceed with installation of the next section of pipe in the same manner.
34.03.4 Appurtenances. Cover bends, reducers, offsets, and other pipe-shaped
appurtenances with polyethylene in the same manner as the pipe. When it is not practical to
wrap valves, tees, crosses, and other odd-shaped pieces in a tube, wrap with a flat sheet or split
length of polyethylene tube by passing the sheet under the appurtenance and bringing it up
around the body. Make seams by bringing the edges together, folding over twice, and taping
down. Tape polyethylene securely in place at valve stem and other penetrations.
34.03.5 Repairs. Repair all cuts, tears, punctures, or damage to polyethylene with adhesive
tape or with a short length of polyethylene sheet or a tube cut open, wrapped around the pipe to
cover the damaged area, and secured in place.
34.03.6 Openings in Encasement. Provide openings for branches, service taps, blowoffs, air
valves, and similar appurtenances by making an X-shaped cut in the polyethylene and
temporarily folding back the film. After the appurtenance is installed, tape the slack securely to
the appurtenance and repair the cut, as well as any other damaged areas in the polyethylene,
with tape. Service taps may also be made directly through the polyethylene, with any resulting
damaged areas being repaired as described above.
34.03.7 Junctions between Wrapped and Unwrapped Pipe. Where polyethylene wrapped
pipe joins an adjacent pipe that is not wrapped, extend the polyethylene wrap to cover the
adjacent pipe for a distance of at least 3 ft. Secure the end with circumferential turns of tape.
Service lines of dissimilar metals shall be wrapped with polyethylene or a suitable
dielectric tape for a minimum clear distance of 3 ft. away from the ductile-iron pipe.
34.03.8 Backfill for Polyethylene-Wrapped Pipe. Use the same backfill material as that
specified for pipe without polyethylene wrap, exercising care to prevent damage to the
polyethylene wrapping when placing backfill. Backfill material shall be free from cinders, refuse,
boulders, rocks, stones, or other material that could damage polyethylene. In general,
6-19

than the approved maximum, the Contractor shall re-install the pipe to the accepted alignment
and elevation at their own expense.
37.03.7 Installation – Cartridge Method. The Cartridge Assembly Method shall be the
preferred option for assembling pipe sections due to right-of-way imitations.
The individual pipe sections shall be joined in the insertion pit. Each section shall then
be progressively pulled into the bore path a distance equivalent to a single pipe section. The
process is repeated until the entire length is pulled through the bore path to the exit point.
37.03.8 Pull-Back. After successfully reaming of the bore hole, the Contractor shall attach a
swivel connector between the final reamer and the pulling head and pull the pipe through the
bore hole. Once pull-back operations have commenced, the operations shall continue without
interruption until the pipe is completely pulled back through the bore hole. Pipe shall only be
pulled from the plain end to minimize pulling forces and to take advantage of the bell transition.
If excessive pull-back is encountered, or the pipe becomes immovable, the Contractor
shall stop the pull-back operations to allow any potential hydro-lock to subside, then pulling
operations will again commence. If the pipe remains stuck, the Contactor shall notify the City to
discuss options or alternatives, and then work shall proceed in accordance with those decisions.
37.03.9 Pulling Force. Restrained push-on joint pipe must be capable of withstanding the
pulling forces used to install the pipe though the bore hole. The pulling force shall be limited to
the joints maximum dead-end thrust load at the rated working pressure, and in full compliance
with the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations.

RECLOSER POLICY
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 222 / 405
RECLOSER POLICY
FOR ANY WORK ON OR NEAR CITY OF GRAND ISLAND
OVERHEAD OR UNDERGROUND POWER LINES
PURPOSE
This policy applies to anyone planning to work on or near power lines or conduits where
there is a potential danger of electric shock, equipment damage, and/or injury. Examples
include, but are not limited to, contractors, well drillers, crane operators, tree trimmers, and
excavators. For purposes of this policy any party planning work will be referred to as
“Contractor”.
PROCEDURE
I.CONTACT CITY OF GRAND ISLAND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
Anyone wanting to do work on or near power lines shall consult the City of Grand Island
Utilities Department 48 hours prior to doing any set up of equipment or actual work. (The
City will not charge for this consultation.)
Contact List: First contact - Bryan Fiala (308) 390-5210
Second contact - Randy Leiser (308) 390-5213
Or - Larry Christensen (308) 390-5212
Third contact - Power Dispatcher (308) 385-5465
Emergency Contact 24/7:- Utility Call Center (308) 385-5461
The City representative will evaluate the site and situation, and make a determination as to
the proper course of action.
II.POSSIBLE ACTIONS (TO BE DETERMINED BY THE CITY)
A.Maintain safe distance at all times. The City representative will recommend the
required distance.
B.Request the recloser be put in the “off” position. Note, the lines will remain
energized, but will not automatically reclose if a fault is detected. (The City will not
charge to turn the recloser off and on.)
C.Cover the lines. This could be in addition to requesting the recloser off or a stand
alone action. In this case a City line crew will come on site and physically cover the
power lines with insulating socks, but the lines will remain energized. (The City
will charge for this service.)
Feb 2, 2017 page 1 of 3
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 223 / 405
D.Switch section of line out of service. City personnel will de-energize the line
section. This could require up to 2 weeks advanced notice. (The City will charge for
this service.)
III.RECLOSER POLICY
If “Recloser Off” is the action determined, then the following applies.
A.Prior to work.
1.During the consultation, the Contractor and the City representative will jointly
fill out the “Recloser Off Request Form”. Copies will be distributed as
instructed on the form and repeated here.
a.Copy A. City field representative.
b.Copy B. Contractor on site.
c.Copy C. Contractor main office.
d.Copy D. City Power Dispatcher at Phelps Control Center.
2.Prior to beginning work each day, the Contractor on site will call the Phelps
Control Center at (308) 385-5465 and do the following:
a.Provide the Recloser Off Request Form number from upper right corner of
form.
b.Request recloser for appropriate feeder be turned “off”.
c.Provide an estimated completion time for that day.
3.The Power Dispatcher will do the following:
a.Match the form number with their own.
b.Verify the on site phone number.
c.Verify the requested feeder matches the feeder identified on the form.
d.Turn the recloser off.
e.Relay to the Contractor that the recloser is turned off for that feeder.
f.Announce over the City radio system that said recloser is off for said
Contractor.
B.During work.
The recloser remains in the off position, but the line energized.
KEY POINT – A fault anywhere on the feeder for any reason will cause an
outage and the Power Dispatcher will receive an alarm. The Power Dispatcher
will immediately contact the Contractor on site to verify whether or not the
Contractor work caused the fault, and that all personnel and equipment are in
the clear.
Feb 2, 2017 page 2 of 3
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 224 / 405
END
C.After work.
1.Whenever the Contractor stops or completes work for an extended time, the
onsite Contractor will call the Phelps Control Center at (308) 385-5465 and do
the following:
a.Provide the Recloser Off Request Form number.
b.State that work is complete and all personnel and equipment are in the
clear.
c.Request recloser for the appropriate feeder be turned “on”.
2.The Power Dispatcher will do the following, while the Contractor remains on
the line:
a.Match the form number with their own.
b.Verify the requested feeder matches the feeder identified on the form.
c.Turn the requested recloser on.
d.Relay to the Contractor that the recloser for that feeder is turned on.
e.Announce over the City radio system that said recloser is on.
KEY POINT – If the Contractor does not call when work is expected to be
complete, such as at the end of a day, the Power Dispatcher will call the
Contractor and verify work is complete, so the recloser does not remain off
unnecessarily.

may arise as a consequence of their discharges.
B.Discharge affecting Endangered or Threatened Species
This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for Endangered or Threatened species from
new or expanded discharges that adversely impact or contribute to adverse impacts on a listed endangered or
threatened species or adversely modify a designated critical habitat. The permittee must conduct any required
review and coordinate with appropriate agencies for any project with the potential of affecting threatened or
endangered species, or their critical habitat.
C.Discharges Affecting Historical Places or Archeological Sites
This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for Historic Places or Archeological Sites,
from new or expanded discharges which adversely affect properties listed or eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places or affecting known or discovered Archeological Sites. The permittee must be in
compliance with National Historic Preservation Act and conduct all required review and coordination related
to historic preservation, including significant anthropological sites and any burial sites, with the Nebraska
Historic Preservation Officer. You must comply with all applicable state, and local laws concerning the
protection of historic properties and places. Your discharge authorization under this permit is contingent upon
this compliance.
D.Prohibited Toxic Discharges
Discharges shall be free from toxic substances, which alone or in combination with other substances, create
conditions unsuitable for aquatic life, except in instances where there is no net increase in the receiving water

4.The occurrence, or new knowledge of, any spills, leaks or contamination in the vicinity of the project that
could impact the water quality of the effluent.
The telephone numbers are listed in Part II. A. 1. f
G.Reduction of the Monitoring Frequency
1.Excavation Dewatering
If continuous dewatering is conducted for a period of 30 days, the permittee may request a reduction in
the monitoring frequency. The request shall be submitted in writing. The compliance limitations and
requirements criteria will be used to evaluate the frequency reduction.
2.Dewatering using Wells to depress the water level
After dewatering wells have been operated continuously for a one-week period, the permittee may request
a reduction in the monitoring frequency. The request shall be submitted in writing. The compliance
limitations and requirements criteria will be used to evaluate the frequency reduction.
H.Implementation of Erosion Control and Energy Dissipation Measures
Permittees shall implement erosion control and energy dissipation measures as necessary to prevent excessive
erosion and channel scouring that may result from the discharge flow.
I.Groundwater Contamination
If groundwater contamination is encountered, then the permittee is to contact the department and, if
appropriate, the owner of the collection system receiving the discharge. Since this discharge of contaminated
groundwater is not covered under this permit, the permittee shall immediately cease dewatering and apply for
a treated groundwater remediation discharge permit.
J.Modification of Permit Attachments
The Department may modify the permit attachments (i.e., DW-NOI, DW-DMR, and DW-RLN forms). The
modified forms satisfy the notification and reporting requirements set forth in this permit. If information is
submitted on an outdated form, opportunity to resubmit the information shall be provided the permittee, or, at
the discretion of the Department, submittals on outdated forms may be accepted.
K.Additional Monitoring Requirements
In addition to monitoring requirements set forth, the Department may request more frequent monitoring.
L.Electronic Reporting
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule requires electronic
reporting of NPDES information rather than the currently required paper based reports from the permitted
facilities. To comply with the federal rule, permittees will be required to submit NOIs, RLNs, Reports, and
NOTs electronically starting in 2020.

this section, at the time monitoring reports are submitted. The reports shall contain the information listed
in paragraph f. of this section.
i.Other information
Where the permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit application, or
submitted incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to the Director, it shall promptly
submit such facts or information.
j.Noncompliance Report Forms
i)Noncompliance Report Forms are available from the Department and shall be submitted with or as
the written noncompliance report.
ii)The submittal of a written noncompliance report does not relieve the permittee of any liability from
enforcement proceedings that may result from the violation of permit or regulatory requirements.
15.Bypass
a.Definitions
i)Bypass means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility.
ii)Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment
facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural
resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property
damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production.
b.Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,
but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not
subject to the provisions of paragraphs 15.c. and d. of this section.
c.Notice
i)Anticipated Bypass
If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior notice, if possible at
least ten days before the date of the bypass.
ii)Unanticipated Bypass
The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in paragraph 14.f. of this
section (24-hour notice).
d.Prohibition of Bypass
Bypass is prohibited, and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass, unless:
Page 6 of 12
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 243 / 405
i)Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage;
ii)There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
iii)The permittee submitted notices as required under paragraph 15.c. of this section.
e.The Director may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if the Director
determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in paragraph 15.d.
16.Upset
a.Definition
Upset means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the
permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error,
improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,
or careless or improper operation.
b.Effect of an Upset
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology
based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph 16.c. of this section are met. No
determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and
before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c.Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly
signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
i)An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
ii)The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
iii)The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in paragraph 14.f. ii) (a), of this section (24-
hour notice).
iv)The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under paragraph (d) of this section.
d.Burden of Proof
In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the
burden of proof.
17.Other Rules and Regulations Liability
The issuance of this permit in no way relieves the obligation of the permittee to comply with other rules and
regulations of the Department.
18.Severability
If any provision of this permit is held invalid, the remainder of this permit shall not be affected.
19.Other Conditions that Apply to NPDES and NPP Permits

Physical Characteristics Examination (PCE) Instructions
Authorized by NPDES General Permit NEG671000 2017
The General Dewatering Permit requires that Physical Characteristic Examinations be made in addition to the
monitoring required in the general permit. Discharge authorizations are contingent upon the conductance of these
examinations (i.e., Physical Characteristic Examinations are required).
1.Physical Characteristic Examination (PCE) Procedure
This procedure involves qualitative observations for characteristics of color, turbidity, odors, surface sheens,
septic conditions, or any other unusual conditions (e.g., off-gassing). PCE observations are to be made both
in situ and on grab samples. PCE results are to be recorded on the attached report form or other approved
format. PCE results are to be used as indicators of potential pollution problems. If none of the previous listed
characteristics are noted a report is not required.
2.Immediate Notification and Follow-Up
a.When a discharge displays, any of these characteristics: turbidity, color, off gassing, sheens, films,
hydrocarbon contamination, or foaming and odors.
b.This may indicate possible presence of excessive pollution. At these concentrations or amounts that are
indicated requires that the discharge be discontinued immediately and the Department notified.
c.The discharge shall be discontinued immediately and the NDEQ shall be contacted: If there is any
evidence the discharge is causing distress to fish, aquatic organisms, plant life, wildlife and/or livestock,
or creating a public health concern.
d.Following the notification, the permittee shall take appropriate follow-up actions as specified by the
Department. These actions may include, but are not necessarily limited to: a follow-up investigation,
additional testing, alternative disposal options, and/or treatment. It is also possible that the discharge may
be allowed without further action if it is determined that the discharge would not result in excessive
pollution.
e.Excessive pollution is defined as pollution in amounts that would result in a violation of a permit limit or
of water quality criteria set forth in NDEQ Title 117 and 118. “Water shall be free from human-induced
pollution which causes”. These narrative and aesthetic standards for surface waters include:
1)Noxious odors;
2)Floating, suspended, colloidal, or settleable materials that produce objectionable films, colors,
turbidity, or deposits; and
3)The occurrence of undesirable or nuisance aquatic life (e.g., algal blooms).
3.Periodic Reporting
In addition to the immediate notification requirements described above, a summary report of the findings of
the Physical Characteristic Examination procedure results is to be submitted as an attachment to the discharge
monitoring reports (DW-DMR's) that are required pursuant to Appendix A, Subsection D of the NPDES
permit.
4.Record Keeping
Records of the physical examination results need to be kept and need to include the following information:
a.The date and time of the observation
b.Name of the observer; and
c.Summary information on the observations made.

General NPDES Permit for Dewatering NEG671000 January 1, 2017
Entire State of Nebraska Page 2 of 7
A.Applicability
This general permit authorizes ground or surface water discharges from construction excavations and
dewatering wells. This is a reissue without change.
B.Authority and Purpose
1.This general permit was developed according to the Nebraska Department Environmental Quality Title
119, Chapters 5 and 25 – Rules and Regulations Pertaining to the Issuance of Permits Under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. This regulation was promulgated pursuant to the Nebraska
Environmental Protection Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 81-1501 et seq.) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq.). The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is authorized in
Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act.
2.NPDES permits may contain effluent limitations and require “best management practices” (BMPs) in order
to regulate the pollutant discharge. The permit limitations can be based upon water quality and/or
technology-based standards. These standards are established in NDEQ Title 117 – Nebraska Surface Water
Quality Standards, Title 118 – Ground Water Standards and Use Classification. There are no
technological standards established in NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 27 that applies to the eligible sources for
coverage under the General NPDES Permit NEG671000.
C.Description of the Discharges
The primary focus of this permit is to control the pollutant discharges from dewatering activities at
construction excavation sites and dewatering wells used to depress ground water levels.
1.Many discharges originate from excavated pits and trenches where the primary pollutant is suspended
solids. These sumps or trench discharges have a much higher potential for containing suspended solids.
2.Some discharges may originate from below ground utility vaults (electrical or telephone). Occasionally,
these types of vaults are flooded by storm water runoff. These discharges have a high potential for
containing petroleum hydrocarbons and suspended solids.
3.When wells are used to depress ground water levels or during foundation sump discharges, there is a low
potential for containing suspended solids. However, some ground water dewatering discharges may be
contaminated with various types of organic chemicals. The contamination sources are usually due to spills
or leaks into ground or surface waters near the site.
4.Most ground water infiltration flows may be discharged. This permit is not limited to ground water
discharges; it also addresses storm water discharges.
5.Many small volume foundation-dewatering discharges do not generally require an NPDES permit. The
reason is that there is no significant discharge of pollutants to waters of the state. An individual NPDES
permit authorization may be required for the following foundation dewatering activities:
a.If ground water contamination exists;
b.If the existing natural ground water constituents may negatively impact surface waters; or
c.If nearby activities create pollution potential in the ground water.
D.Area of Application
This permit is applicable throughout the State of Nebraska, excluding tribal lands. Statewide application is
appropriate because the potential sources may be found throughout the state. No discharges will be allowed to
tribal lands within the State of Nebraska or to State Resource Waters. This permit provides specific written
evaluation procedures for discharges to the following waters of the state:

These requirements are set forth in the permit Part I. These provisions provide the Department an opportunity
to evaluate the discharge based on receiving water criteria. These water quality evaluations can be made on
any given dewatering discharge with the state.
E.Permit Term
This permit is to be issued for a five-year term. This is the maximum time period allowed pursuant to NDEQ
Title 119, Chapter 16 002. Within the permit in Appendix A. Paragraph A.7 sets forth a reopener clause that
allows modification, suspension, revocation, or reissuance according to NDEQ Title 119, Chapter 24.
F.Proposed Changes to the Existing Permit
On the basis of a preliminary staff review, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality has made a
tentative determination to reissue the permit without change.
G.Permit Requirements and Conditions
The content of each section is summarized in the following paragraphs. An explanation of the basis is
provided when appropriate. The draft permit consists of authorization page, four main parts, two appendices,
and six attachments. The six attachments are the Notice of Intent (DW-NOI), the Threatened and Endangered
Species Checklist, the Discharge Monitoring Report (DW-DMR), the noncompliance report form, a physical
characteristics examination (PCE) report, and a dewatering relocation notice (DW-RLN). These attached
forms are subject to modification by the Department.
1.Permit Authorization Page
This is the first permit page. It identifies the permit name, number, issuance and expiration dates, and the
Federal and State laws that authorize this NPDES permit. The Director or a delegated representative shall
sign this page prior to permit issuance.
2.Table of Contents
This is a summary of the Parts, Sections, Appendices, and Attachments of the draft permit. This is
intended as an aid for using and reviewing the permit.
3.Part I - Eligibility
The area of the state to which the permit applies is identified (i.e. this permit has statewide application).
This part describes the discharges that are eligible to apply for authorization to discharge under the terms
and conditions of this permit. Several limitations on coverage are also set forth in this part of permit.
4.Part II - Authorization to Discharge
This part set forth the following procedures:
1.How to obtain authorization;
2.Contents of the Notice of Intent;
3.Additional Information Requirements;
4.Requiring an alternative permit application;
5.Revocation of the authorization to discharge;
6.Notification of changes to facility name, ownership, operations, or pertinent personnel;
7.Notification of any activities that may alter the water quality of the discharge; and
8.Notification of Relocation or Completion.
Any facility wishing authorization to discharge under the terms and conditions of this general permit must
submit a Notice of Intent (DW-NOI). The permit specifies minimum and additional information
requirements for potential applicants. This permit section specifically spells out what is required in a DW-
NOI. It also contains information that may aid applicants in completing and submitting the DW-NOI.
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 281 / 405
General NPDES Permit for Dewatering NEG671000 January 1, 2017
Entire State of Nebraska Page 4 of 7
When the Department has received the complete DW-NOI, the discharge authorization shall be granted
after 10 days. However, there are the following exceptions:
1)If additional information is requested, or;
2)If the discharge is to public drinking water sources, then the review period is extended.
5.Part III Monitoring Requirements and Effluent Limitations
a.Table A – Construction Excavation Site Dewatering Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirement
establishes the following parameters, limitations and monitoring requirements:
1)Monitoring shall be initiated within 8 hours after the discharge is started;
2)Flow shall be monitored daily;
3)The physical characteristics examination shall be conducted daily;
4)Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be sampled and analyzed when a visible hydrocarbon sheen or
free petroleum product is detected;
5)The total suspended solids haves a daily maximum limitation of 90 mg/L. The maximum
limitation of 90 mg/L for total suspended solids limitation was originally a “best professional
judgment” limitation. The existing permit compliance history indicates this limitation is an
achievable limitation for excavation sites. The total suspended solids parameter shall be sampled
and analyzed on a weekly frequency;
6)The pH parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a weekly frequency. The pH range 6.5 to
9.0 limitation was adopted from NDEQ Title 117, Chapter 4. The compliance history of the
existing permit indicates this is achievable limitation;
7)The Department may request a onetime sampling analysis for metals as well as organics; and
8)To qualify for the monitoring frequency reduction, the permittee must employ best management
practices and demonstrate compliance with the permit limitations. This must be demonstrated
for a 30 days.
b.Table B – Foundation Sump, Utility Vault, and Ground Water Level Depression Dewatering Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirement establishes the following parameters, limitations and
monitoring requirements:
1)Monitoring shall be initiated within 8 hours after the discharge is started;
2)Flow shall be monitored daily;
3)The physical characteristics examination shall be conducted daily;
4)Petroleum hydrocarbons shall be sampled and analyzed when a visible hydrocarbon sheen or
free petroleum product is detected;
5)The total suspended solids haves a daily maximum limitation of 30 mg/L. The maximum
limitation of 30 mg/L for total suspended solids limitation was originally a “best professional
judgment” limitation. The existing permit compliance history indicates this limitation is an
achievable limitation for foundation sump, utility vault, and ground water level depression sites.
The total suspended solids parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a weekly frequency;
6)The pH parameter shall be sampled and analyzed on a monthly frequency. The pH range 6.5 to
9.0 limitation was adopted from NDEQ Title 117, Chapter 4. The compliance history of the
existing permit indicates this is achievable limitation;
7)The Department may request a onetime sample analysis for metals as well as organics; and
8)To qualify for the monitoring frequency reduction, the permittee must employ best management
practices and demonstrate compliance with the permit limitations. This must be demonstrated
for a one-week period.

Entire State of Nebraska Page 5 of 7
c.Site Specific Conditions establishes that a parameter may be added on a case-by-case basis based on
water quality standards.
d.One-time sampling analysis for Metals establishes that if the Department believes that metals may be
present in the discharge, a one-time sample shall be analyzed to determine of additional monitoring will
be required.
e.One-time sampling analysis for Organics establishes that if the Department believes that organics may
be present in the discharge, a one-time sample shall be analyzed to determine of additional monitoring
will be required.
f.Land Application/Beneficial Reuse establishes narrative requirements for permittees wishing to either
reuse the water for a beneficial purpose, or for land application in situations where the permittee may
have no option for a direct discharge, wishes to use the discharge water in a beneficial manner, or
where water quality standards would not be met with a direct discharge. These narrative requirements
were taken from Nebraska Title 119, Chapter 12.
6.Part IV. - Other Conditions and Requirements
This part of the permit contains the following provisions:
a.A disclaimer stating that compliance with the permit does not provide a liability shield from any
environmental damage that might result from discharges authorized under this permit;
b.A narrative water quality based limitation on toxicity developed pursuant to NDEQ Title 117;
c.A narrative water quality based limitations on films, color, turbidity, deposition, and noxious odor
pursuant to NDEQ Title 117;
d.A requirement to immediately report conditions or events that may be indicative or related to the
introduction of pollution in the discharge;
e.Reduction in monitoring frequency – These provisions allow the permittee to reduce the monitoring
frequency for extended periods of dewatering. The reduction in monitoring frequency will be granted
upon the receipt of the permittee’s written request and compliance with permit provisions.
f.A requirement to control erosion and channel scouring that could potentially occur as a result of the
discharge;
g.An allowance is made for modification of the DW-NOI, DW-DMR, noncompliance report, and the
DW-PCE report forms. These forms are attachments to the permit. This provides the permittee with
notification and reporting forms to meet the requirements of the permit. This provision allows the
Department the flexibility to improve these forms
h.Additional monitoring parameters may be added to this permit, when special site-specific conditions
arise during the dewater operations. (e.g., During the dewatering process, an effluent pollutant causes a
water quality impact not identified in the Notice of Intent.)
i.On October 22, 2015, EPA published the Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule, which requires electronic reporting of NPDES
information rather than the currently required paper based reports from the permitted facilities.
Facilities must submit electronically information required in Appendix A of 40 CFR Part 127, 40 CFR
122.26(b)(15), and 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x).
7.Appendix A – Standard Conditions
This appendix contains the conditions and requirements that are common to all NPDES permits issued by
the Department. These conditions and requirements are based on State and Federal regulatory
requirements that pertain to NPDES permits.
8.Appendix B – State Resource Waters and Public Drinking Water Supply Streams
This appendix identifies stream segments which are considered State Resource Waters or Public Drinking
Supply Streams. It is intended as a reference to the applicants and permittees for use in filling out NOI
and Relocation Notices. Information in this appendix is arranged by county to make it easier for
permittees to use.

shall be responsible for furnishing and installing the appropriate size meter supports.
Water meters shall be set level and in a horizontal position, at a minimum height of one (1) foot
and a maximum height of three (3) feet and as near as possible to the point where the water
service enters the building. Meters shall not be exposed to damage by freezing.
There shall be least eighteen (18) inches of clearance above and horizontally around the meter
and kept readily accessible. If obstructions exist which interfere with meter installation, reading,
testing, maintenance or removal, the GIUD Water Department may discontinue water service
until the obstructions are removed.
One and one half (1-1/2) inch through ten (10) inch meters shall have an integral strainer, and
shall be installed with a minimum of five (5) pipe diameters of straight run of pipe or equivalent
full open components upstream of the meter-strainer flange; and with a minimum of two and
one half (2.5) pipe diameters of straight run of pipe or equivalent full open components
downstream of the meter flange. Full open flow components may consist of: straight pipe, full
open gate valves, bypass tees and concentric reducers (1 nominal pipe size reduction only).
Fully open gate valves may be located immediately upstream or downstream, provided they are
not used to throttle flow rates through the meter.
Install non-concentric reducers, check valves, backflow preventers, PRV (pressure reducing
valves), throttling devices, or altitude valves no closer than four (4) pipe diameters downstream
of the meter.

Item G-11
#2020-49 - Approving Substation Transformer Maintenance
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Stacy Nonhof
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 345 / 405
Council Agenda Memo
From:Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Stacy Nonhof, Interim City Attorney
Meeting:February 25, 2020
Subject:Substation Transformer Maintenance
Presenter(s):Tim Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
The Grand Island Electric System utilizes a 115,000-volt transmission loop that connects
eight substations around the City. Each substation contains one or two large transformers
that convert this voltage down to the distribution level of 13,800 volts. These
transformers have an automatic voltage adjustment mechanism that requires periodic
inspection and maintenance. Additionally, the condition of the entire transformer can be
assessed with electrical tests as good practice to ensure reliability of our system.
This project includes inspection and maintenance of our voltage regulators on our
substation transformers as well as electrical testing those transformers and the large
transformers associated with our power generation units.
Discussion
Bids were received by the City on February 5, 2020 for the contract labor and materials
for the Substation Transformer Maintenance Package. The six bids received were:

Kansas City, Missouri $494,795.00
The bid from Power System Diagnostics specified that parts required to complete the
project were not included and did not specify how much the parts would cost. The bid
amount from Delta Star, Inc., did not include the cost of the parts and specified a
potential additional cost of $281,025.00 for parts as part of their bid. The bid from
Transfluid Services appears to be higher but does include the cost of parts and labor
together with no additional costs in their bid. The bid from Transfluid Services meets all
requirements and is under the engineer’s estimate of $450,000.00. The noted exception
from Transfluid Services was that they work after hours on-site which is agreeable.
Transfluid Services has provided a list of similar projects being completed and is
experienced.
Based on a review of the bids received, the Transfluid Services bid of $261,762.50 is
recommended by the Utilities Department as the lowest compliant bid.

The Council may:

Subject:Approving Temporary Construction Easement for North
Road- 13th Street to Highway 2 Roadway Improvements;
Project No. 2019-P-5 (Manning- 3999 W Capital
Avenue)
Presenter(s):John Collins PE, Public Works Director
Background
The North Road- 13th Street to Highway 2 Roadway Improvements; Project No. 2019-P-5
is for the improvement of North Road from just north of 13th Street to Highway 2. The
Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is proposing a concrete curb and
gutter roadway section with associated sidewalk, traffic control, drainage and related
improvements needed to complete the project.
A Temporary Construction easement is needed to accommodate the construction activities
for North Road- 13th Street to Highway 2 Roadway Improvements; Project No. 2019-P-5,
which must be approved by City Council. The temporary construction easement will allow
for the roadway improvements to this area.
A sketch is attached to show the temporary construction easement area.
Discussion
A temporary construction easement is needed from one (1) property owner for North
Road- 13th Street to Highway 2 Roadway Improvements; Project No. 2019-P-5 to be
constructed.
Engineering staff of the Public Works Department negotiated with the property owner for
use of such temporary construction easement.

#2020-53 - Approving Purchase of Personal Protective Equipment
for Fire Department
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 399 / 405
Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:February 25, 2020
Subject:Personal Protective Equipment
Presenter(s):Tim Hiemer, Division Chief
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department was authorized a budget of $40,000 for the purchase
of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the fiscal year 2019-20. We currently have 67
department members that are issued structural firefighting PPE. Our goal is to replace
structural firefighting PPE incrementally on a 10 year rotation. Due to budgetary cuts
over the last few years, we were unable to purchase enough sets of PPE to meet the 10
year goal. Therefore, this year as well as last year, more sets of PPE are requested than
normal.
Discussion
The Grand Island Fire Department contacted the National Purchasing Partners (NPPGov)
to obtain pricing for 12 set structural firefighting PPE. The NPPGov provided a list of
prequalified vendors and their equipment that have met the competitive bidding
requirements of the City of Grand Island. From the list, Lion brand PPE supplied by
CoPro Emergency Fire Products of Eastlake, CO was chosen to supply 12 sets of PPE at
the cost of $28,984.32.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Grand Island Council Session - 2/25/2020 Page 400 / 405
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approves the purchase of 12 sets of
Lion structural fire PPE from CoPro Emergency Fire Products at a price of $28,984.32.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the purchase of 12 sets of Lion PPE from CoPro Emergency Fire
Products in the amount of $28,984.32.
