Water mains shall have a minimum of 48" of cover under existing or proposed grades, whichever lower, except at such points where the grade must be adjusted to meet existing conditions of unforeseeable obstacles, and except where otherwise indicated on the plans. The Contractor shall maintain a minimum clearance of 18" between the water and any other utility line or structure. The Contractor will make two (2) saw cuts for temporary asphalt placement (for water main placement), followed by two (2) additional saw cuts in the undisturbed ground (one foot on each side of the trench for temporary pavement) for final paving, unless prior approval is given by the Director of Engineering or their designee. Drop balling of all pavements is prohibited and a pavement breaker may be used only after saw cutting or cutting the concrete with an air spade as specified above. Any adjacent pavement, curb, or sidewalk that is damaged due to negligence on the part of the Contractor, is to be replaced at the Contractor's expense.

This payment should include all necessary labor, materials and equipment necessary to cut and remove pavement. Concrete paving must be cut with an approved concrete saw and removed to an existing joint. The saw-cut must penetrate at least 90 percent of the thickness of the concrete to be cut. An air spade may be used, if specifically approved in writing by the Director of Engineering or their designee, where the existing concrete is in bad condition and would therefore not lend itself to saw cutting.
