• • were excavated and reconnected to the liner. Many of these service connections had slipped because they were installed with homemade saddles. Two sections of sagged, bare polyethylene pipe were replaced. These were at apparent old entry pit locations. All excavation had to be performed by hand labor because of the wet soil conditions of the congested work areas. After completion of repairs to the sections described above, all repair locations were water tamped to speed consolidation of the backfill, fences damaged by construction were repairetii or replaced, construction damaged areas were sodded, and a general area clean-up was performed. Difficulties Encountered During Construction Which Affected The Cost of the Project 1. Rain delays and associated wet ground condition. 2. Congested narrow ROW. 3. Items 1 and 2 above necessitated the use of hand labor. 4. Charging problems associated with the Farrington Main and subdivision lift station. 5. Almost every service connection had slipped into the sewer line and required repair. 6. Dips in sewer line caught the television camera. Special Considerations 1. Manhole No. 4 will always have approximately 6 inches of standing water because of a bow in the sewer that exists downstream. The condition was improved by point repairs which removed part of the bowed section. 2. Manholes No. 5 and No. 6 will always have standing water because the flowlines of the outlet sewers of both manholes were originally constructed several inches higher than the inlets. Normal periodic maintenance will resolve the nuisance caused by these two items. Conclusion Basically the project has been very successful. Minimum resident complaints have been received about construction damage. Many residents have volunteered their opinion of being satisfied by the results. The contractor was responsive to the residents' requests and was considerate in his approach to minimize damage during construction. -2-
