DELETE paragraphs 6.4.1 through 6.4.3 and REPLACE with new paragraphs 6.4.1 through 6.4.3:
6.4.1 The Contractor shall notify the Consultant in writing of the following conditions, known as
concealed or unknown conditions, but hereinafter called changed conditions or differing site
conditions, promptly upon their discovery and before they are disturbed, and in no case shall such
notification be made later than five (5) calendar days after such conditions are discovered:
a)
Subsurface or latent physical conditions in the Place of the Work differing materially
from those indicated in the Contract Documents; or
b)
Unknown physical conditions in the Place of the Work of an unusual nature differing
materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in
Work of the character provided for in the Contract Documents.
The Contractors notification shall provide sufficient description of the conditions as encountered
and how such conditions represent changed conditions so as to allow the Consultant to review and
investigate such conditions as provided in GC 6.4.3.
6.4.2 No claim by the Contractor related to shaft, tunnel, trench or other open-cut excavation shall be
allowed under the Concealed or Unknown Conditions provisions unless the Contractor submits
documentation that demonstrates that such alleged conditions are materially different from those
conditions identified in the Contract Documents and are more adverse than those conditions. The
Contractor shall submit such documentation within 30 calendar days after notification to the
Consultant that the Contractor believes a material difference exists. The Contractor may conduct
any investigations as are reasonably necessary for demonstrating that a material difference exists,
and any and all costs incurred by the Contractor to conduct such investigations shall be borne by
the Contractor unless the Consultant agrees that a material difference in conditions does exist and
that such conditions have a cost and/or time impact. If the Consultant agrees that there is a
material difference that impacts the Contractors cost and/or time of performing the Work,
payment for investigation(s), including necessary testing, to document the material difference will
be paid for by the Owner as part of the cost impact directly associated with the materially different
conditions. Payment will be made by the Owner for reasonable and customary prices for geologic /
geotechnical investigation(s) and testing. The Contractor is encouraged to review such planned
investigations and/or testing with the Consultant prior to execution of the same. The Consultant
will be sole judge of what is reasonable and customary.
In addition to the documentation to support the Contractors position that concealed or unknown
conditions exist, the Contractor shall also submit documentation, backup, justification, and

compensation, as is necessary, for the alleged impact to Contractors cost of and/or time required
for performance of the Work. Such documentation shall be submitted within the 30-day period
cited above.
The Owner and Consultant agree a priori that the full extent of the alleged concealed or unknown
conditions may not be known within the 30-day period cited above for submission of
documentation. If the full extent of the alleged concealed or unknown conditions is not known
within the 30-day period, the Contractor shall submit such documentation as may be available
within the required period. The Contractor shall submit all additional documentation as may be
required to support its position that materially different conditions exist and to document the cost
and/or time impact on the performance of the Work within 30 calendar days of the date on which
the full extent of such conditions is determined. The Contractor shall promptly notify the
Consultant when the full extent of the alleged changed conditions is known.
The Contractor expressly agrees to maintain Daily Work Records as required by GC 6.3.9 to
include detailed daily labor, material, production, and equipment logs defining hours and costs for
all periods of Contractor performance representing claimed concealed or unknown site conditions.
These logs shall fully separate bid Contract Work from Work associated with addressing and
overcoming claimed concealed and unknown conditions. These Daily Work Records shall
constitute documentation of performance, and the Contractor and Consultant agree to attempt to
reconcile their respective Daily Work Records on a daily basis. Such reconciliation of Daily Work
Records shall not be construed by the Contractor to indicate acceptance of the Contractors claim
of concealed or unknown site conditions or cost or time impact to the Contractors performance of
the Work. The failure of the Contractor to maintain Daily Work Records shall render the
Consultants Daily Work Records as definitive.
6.4.3
The Consultant shall, after Contractor notification of the existence of concealed or unknown
conditions, promptly review the conditions, and if the Consultant finds that such conditions do
constitute changed conditions as defined in GC 6.4.1 and cause an increase in or decrease in the
Contractors cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the Work defined in the
Contract Documents, an equitable adjustment shall be made, and the Contract Documents shall be
modified in writing in accordance with the provisions of General Conditions Part 5 Payment and
other applicable paragraphs within Part 6 Changes in the Work.
The Consultants review will overlap with the period of time during which the Contractor is
required to assemble and submit initial and final documentation regarding the claim. Within 30
calendar days of the receipt of the Contractors initial documentation, the Consultant will advise
the Contractor, in writing, of the Consultants initial opinion as to the existence of changed
conditions. The Contractor acknowledges that a final determination cannot be made until after the
Contractor submits its final documentation as required in GC 6.4.2. The Consultant will advise
the Contractor of the Consultants final determination, in writing, within 30 calendar days of
receipt of the Contractors full documentation of the nature of and cost and/or time impacts of the
alleged concealed or unknown conditions. Alternatively the Consultant may request able infraction
or enter negotiations with the Contractor over the cost with respect to time impacts,
If the Consultant determines that concealed or unknown conditions do not exist, and therefore,
there is no justification for an adjustment in Cost or Time of the Work, the Consultant will so
advise the Contractor in writing. Should the Contractor disagree with such determination, the
Contractor agrees to initially engage the Consultant in negotiations and then implement other

WHITE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS
PART 1
GENERAL
1.1
PAGE 1 OF 13
.1
White Paper Submissions are requested by the Owner. While they are not mandatory,
Tenderers are strongly encouraged to submit White Paper Submissions.
.2
With the financial support of its CSST Project funding partners at Infrastructure Canada
and the Province of Ontario, the City of Ottawa has identified a pre-established budget of
$150M for the construction of the CSST Project. As part of the white paper and
commercially confidential meeting process (described under Part 3 of this Section
00205), the Owner wishes to solicit input and engage the Tenderers in discussions related
to the feasibility of delivering the project within this budgetary limit. For greater clarity,
the budget referred to in this paragraph is not a cap or limit on the Contract Price payable
by the Owner to the Contractor under the Contract, which will be determined in
accordance with the Contract.
.3
The purpose of the White Paper Submissions is thus to solicit and provide a forum for
Tenderers to provide further suggestions and explore the viability of their ideas for
improved cost-effectiveness in the delivery of the CSST project as they relate to project
design and construction, cost and schedule control, as well as risk management in view of
the Owners budgetary and schedule constraints for the project.
.4
There are three categories of White Paper Submissions requested. Tenderers are
encouraged to be creative in proposing White Paper Submissions within the categories
described below.

SECTION 00205
WHITE PAPER INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS
PAGE 2 OF 13
The provisions contained in Section 00205 will apply to each of the three categories of
White Paper Submission to the extent indicated.
.5
As part of the review process, the contents of the White Paper Submissions will be
discussed within a commercially confidential setting as explained in Part 3 of this Section
00205. The Owners determination of the merits of each submission shall be in
accordance to the review process outlined in Part 4 and Part 5 of this Section 00205. Part
5 addresses the detailed development, submittal requirements and review process for
accepted Category 3 submissions.
.6
As specified in Section 00200, the Owner will retain the services of a Fairness
Commissioner to monitor, advise and provide expert procurement guidance during the
White Paper Submission Review Process as well as be present at all White Paper
Submission Meetings.
.7
The White Paper Submission must not substantially impair any essential form,
fit, function or characteristic of the Work, such as, but not limited to, safety,
service life, reliability, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, aesthetics
and necessary standard features at the sole discretion of the City; (particularly as
it either impacts its functionality, operation or negotiated land use agreements
with land owners); and
The White Paper Submission shall not materially increase the risk to project
implementation, system performance, cost or schedule of completion.
.2 The Tenderer must submit a separate White Paper Submission for each proposed
White Paper Submission proposal and the Tenderer will identify, for each
submission, the category of submission under which it falls. Each White Paper
Submission must be capable of being assessed for acceptability on its own merits.
Unless the Tenderer clearly indicates that certain White Paper Submissions are not
mutually exclusive of one another, individual White Paper Submissions must not be
dependent or contingent on the acceptance of another or other White Paper
Submission(s) in order to meet the parameters and requirements outlined in this
Section 00205. The Owner will be entitled, in their sole discretion, to accept some,
all, or none of the White Paper Submissions.
.3 Category 3 Commercially Confidential White Paper Submissions must each provide
an Instant Contract Saving of a minimum of $500,000.

ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
PAGE 1 OF 5
The three low tenderers shall submit, within three (3) Working Days after opening of the
tenders, one copy of all documentary information generated in preparation of tender
prices for this Project. This material is hereinafter referred to as Escrow Bid Documents
(EBDs). The EBDs of the successful bidder will be held in escrow for the duration of the
Contract and Warranty Period. Escrow Bid Documents of the other bidders will be
returned to the bidders following award and execution of the respective contract.
.2
The successful tenderer agrees, as a condition of award of the Contract, that the Escrow
Bid Documents constitute all the information used in preparation of its tender and that no
other tender preparation information shall be considered in resolving disputes or claims,
or in negotiation of change orders to the Contract.
.3
Nothing in the Escrow Bid Documents shall change or modify the terms or conditions of
the Contract.
1.2
OWNERSHIP
.1
The EBDs are and shall always remain the property of the Contractor subject only to
joint review by the Contract Administrator and the Contractor, except as provided for
herein.
.2
The City acknowledges the information contained in the EBDs is not known outside the
Contractors business, is known only to a limited extent and only by a limited number of
employees of the Contractor, is safeguarded while in Contractors possession, is
extremely valuable to the Contractor, and could be extremely valuable to the
Contractors competitors by virtue of it reflecting the Contractors contemplated
techniques of construction.
.3
The City further acknowledges that the EBDs and the information contained therein are
made available to the City only because such action is an express prerequisite to award
of the Contract. The City acknowledges that the EBDs include a compilation of
information used in the Contractors business to obtain an advantage over competitors
who do not know of or use the contents of the documentation. The City agrees to
safeguard the EBDs and all information contained therein against disclosure, to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
1.3
PURPOSE
.1
EBDs will be used to assist in the negotiation of price adjustments and change orders and
in the settlement of disputes and claims. They will not be used for pre-award evaluation
of the Contractor's anticipated methods of construction or to assess the Contractor's
qualifications for performing the Work.
.2
If Contractor wishes to subcontract any portion of the Work after award that was not
identified in the Tender Documents, City retains the right to require Contractor to submit
Escrow Bid Documents from Subcontractor before subcontract is approved.

SECTION 00496
ESCROW BID DOCUMENTS
PAGE 2 OF 5
Tenderers may submit EBDs in their usual cost estimating format. It is not intended that
extra work is required in preparing the tender; however, the format and contents of the
EBDs must be sufficient to ensure that the EBDs will be adequate to enable complete
and proper understanding and proper interpretation for their intended use. The EBDs
shall be in the English language only.
.2
The EBDs shall clearly itemize, organize and identify the estimated costs of performing
the work of each item contained in the Tender Schedule. Items should be separated into
sub-items as required to present a complete and detailed cost estimate and allow a
detailed cost review. For ease of reference and completeness, each cost item and subitem shall be preceded with a summary sheet, with appropriate references, to its various
cost components. Where alternative construction methods are used in the estimate, the
EBDs shall describe the methods used and pertinent information related to the cost of
such methods. The EBDs shall include all quantity take-offs, crews, equipment,
calculations of rates of production and progress, copies of quotations from subcontractors and suppliers, and memoranda, narratives, consultants reports, add/deduct
sheets and all other information used by the Contractor to arrive at the prices contained
in the tender. Estimated costs shall be broken down into the Contractor's usual estimate
categories, such as direct labor, repair labor, equipment operation, equipment ownership,
expendable materials, permanent materials and subcontract costs as appropriate. Plant
and equipment and indirect costs should be detailed in the Contractor's usual format. The
Contractor's allocation of plant and equipment, indirect costs, contingencies, mark-up
and other items to each tender item shall be clearly indicated.
.3
With regard to the Contractors estimate of TBM work, the EBDs shall specifically
include at least the following: assumed TBM penetration rates for the various rock
conditions; assumed rock support for the various reaches (confirmation of the Contract
requirement to use precast concrete segments); estimated TBM down-time (all
categories) and utilization; assessment of geotechnical, hydrogeological, TBM and
construction variables that affect performance parameters; cutter cost and anticipated
cutter changes, and maintenance or replacements for rings, hubs, bearings, mounting
brackets, etc.; and a detailed TBM manufacturers proposal for equipment and
performance with at least the details as required in the Specifications. Distinguish all of
the foregoing items between tunnel sections for which full pressure-mode is required,
tunnel sections for which full pressure-mode is anticipated by the Contractor, and tunnel
sections for which semi-pressure-mode or no face pressure are required or anticipated.
Consistent with the requirements of this subparagraph, the Contractor, in addition, shall
enclose with the EBDs, the completed Attachment 3, which is included in Section
0496A.
.4
The EBDs shall clearly show in calculations, text, or both, the relationship between
baseline indications presented in the Contract Documents and assumptions that form the
basis for the Contractor's means, methods, equipment selection, rates of production, and
costs.
.5
All costs shall be identified. For bid items for which the extended amount is less than
$10,000, estimated unit costs are acceptable without a detailed cost estimate, provided
that labor, equipment, materials and subcontracts, as applicable, are included and
provided that indirect costs, contingencies, and mark-up, as applicable, are allocated.

The EBDs shall be examined by both City and Contractor, at any time deemed necessary
by either City or Contractor, to assist in the negotiation of price adjustments and change
orders, or the settlement of disputes.

disputes without resorting to this review procedure.
.5
Either the City or the Contractor may refer a dispute to the DRB. Referral to the DRB
should be initiated as soon as it is apparent that the dispute resolution efforts indicated in
the General Conditions are not succeeding, and prior to initiating Mediation or

Definitions
In the above table, the following definitions apply in respect of the terms used in the Type of Interest column:
Fee Simple means all rights of ownership of real property.
Notes
Permanent Easement means the rights to use real property for a specific purpose, including for purposes of constructing
and maintaining a utility. The underlying interest in the real property remains with the original owner and the use of real
property pursuant to the easement is subject to certain conditions.
Stratified means the property rights are to specify vertical limits as shown on the applicable Property Request Plan. For
example, a permanent easement, a fee simple interest or a temporary interest may be Stratified, in which case such property
interest only commences below certain vertical limits as shown on the relevant Property Request Plan.
Temporary Easement means the rights to use real property for a specific purpose, such as construction staging and/or
construction. Temporary Easements will have a limited duration and may, but will not necessarily, provide exclusive access to
the relevant real property. Prior to expiry of the term of a Temporary Easement, the real property must be reinstated and, on
expiry, possession of real property is returned to original owner.

Do not block or modify sewer lines, open or close valves, or take other action which
would affect the operation of existing systems (i.e. flow management), except as
specifically required by the Contract Documents and only after the prior authorization of
ESD and the Engineer has been obtained.
.8
The Owner will limit the duration of shutdowns of important or critical systems.
Stated durations are the total time period between when the system is made
available to the Contractor and when it is ready for return to service. If the
Contractor cannot complete the Work within the allowed time, the Contractor
shall immediately request an extension from the Owner. If the Owner does not
approve the requested extension, the Contractor shall complete the Work or return
the system to operable condition. The Owner will complete the Work if the
Contractor does not return the system to operable condition as directed. The
Contractor is responsible for extra costs or damages incurred by the Contractor or
the Owner to meet these requirements.
2.
The Contractor acknowledges that any operation impacting the flow of the
existing sewers, regulators or wastewater flow in any way, referred to hereinafter
as a shutdown, shall require observation, approval or monitoring by the City of
Ottawa ESD Operations Staff as outlined in the Ontario Water Resources Act and
associated regulations. The Contractor shall provide the Contract Administrator a
minimum 72 hour notification for requiring ESD staff onsite.
3.
When the Contractor requires a part of the sewer/regulator system shutdown for
execution of construction activities (i.e. changes to flow directions in sewers,
sewer isolation, slide gate movement, regulator control/power/communication
interruption, etc.), a formal shutdown request must be made in writing to the
Contract Administrator at least 72 hours (excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal
holidays) in advance of the requested shutdown date. The shutdown request shall
describe in detail the proposed method, and the procedures proposed to
accomplish each portion of the Work that requires an interruption to the
operation of the existing facility. The Contractor shall not begin any such work
until it has received written acceptance of the methodology and approach from
the Engineer. The Contractor shall include in its plan the specific number of
days to complete each facility interruption.

Materials that are surplus and required to be removed from site for disposal or reuse must
be tested in accordance with O. Regulation 153/04, O. Regulation 347 as amended
(including guidance) or receiving site requirements under the MOECC Soil BMP to
determine management options. Generally, material less than 2mm in size or passing the
U.S. #10 sieve is classified as soil and is governed by the aforementioned regulations and
guideline. Rock is material 2mm or more in size not passing the U.S. #10 sieve.
Collection and sampling of soil shall follow the procedures referenced in O. Regulation
153/04. Contaminants of concern selection should consider full suites of analysis for
assessment against O. Regulation 153/04 and any additional analytical parameters as may
be necessary based on the Contractors QP assessment of the area. If material is to be
reused at an RSC Property (as defined in O. Regulation 153/04) then sampling frequency
shall be as defined in O. Regulation 153/04. If material is to be reused at a site governed
by Certificate of Property Use then procedures shall be as defined in the Certificate of

Practices, prepared by the MOECC, dated January 2014. The soil shall be characterized
by the Contractors QP, or a person under the supervision of the Contractors QP, to
determine the volume and chemical composition that is to be managed off-site. The soil
shall be transferred to the receiving site in accordance with the receiving site
requirements which may include documentation with appropriate and representative
analysis signed by the Contractor QP. Excess soil shall not be commingled with waste at
the source and shall be segregated and directly transported to the receiving site.
.3
All materials which are removed from the Project site as rock shall be managed in
accordance with O. Regulation 347. The reuse of rock material on-site shall be in such a
manner as to prevent or eliminate the potential for material to become a contaminant in

The Certificate of Conformance shall include the time, date and components
inspected in all Interim Inspections.
Where a QVE is unavailable to complete all the Interim Inspections that are
specified, the QVE shall issue a Certificate of Conformance covering the Interim
Inspections completed to date. The second QVE shall issue a Certificate of
Conformance covering the subsequent Interim Inspections for which the second
QVE is responsible. In this event, the Contractor shall ensure that the Certificates
cover all required inspections and shall submit them at the same time.
The QVE shall not delegate any activity that the Contract Documents require the
QVE to witness. For all other activities, the QVE may delegate the function to
another person where it is consistent with prudent engineering practice to do so,
and the function is performed under the supervision of the QVE.
The process prescribed in this Special Provision for correcting components of the
Work not in General Conformance with the Contract Documents shall apply
unless other remedies are prescribed elsewhere in the contract documents.
Construction
The Contractor shall submit Certificates of Conformance, with reference to the
applicable Working Drawings and other Contract Documents, to the Contract
Administrator at the milestones identified in the Contract Documents and prior to
commencing subsequent stages of the work. The Certificate of Conformance
shall be submitted within 48 hours of completing the Work described in the
Certificate of Conformance unless a different period is specified elsewhere in the
Contract Documents. Where Interim Inspections are specified, the Contractor
shall not proceed until written permission is received from the QVE. A copy of the
written permission shall be made available to the Contract Administrator upon
request.
The QVE shall seal, sign and date Certificates of Conformance indicating that
construction of the Work is in General Conformance with the stamped Working
Drawings and the requirements of the Contract Documents. No conditions or
limitations shall form part of the Certificate of Conformance or the written
permission to proceed following an Interim Inspection. Any amendments to the
Contract Documents accepted by the Owner, and related to the Certificate of
Conformance, shall be appended.
Non-Conforming Work by the Contractor
If the QVE is prevented from issuing a written permission following an Interim
Inspection, or a Certificate of Conformance, because of lack of clarity of the
Contract Documents, the QVE shall seek clarification of the requirements from
the Contract Administrator.
If components of the Work have aspects that are not in General Conformance
with the Contract Documents, the Contractor may propose an amendment to the
SECTION 01450
COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL QUALITY CONTROL - ATTACHMENT
Contract Documents. The Contractor shall, under the seal and signature of the
QVE, provide the Contract Administrator with an itemized, detailed description of
all aspects within the scope of the Certificate of Conformance that are not in
General Conformance with the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall also,
under the seal and signature of a professional engineer (who may or may not
also be the QVE), provide to the Contract Administrator recommendations for an
amendment to the Contract Documents that will deliver the functionality of the
original Contract Documents.
The proposal for an amendment to the Contract Documents differs from a
change proposal. A proposal for an amendment to the Contract Documents
occurs after the work has been carried out, and the Work does not conform to the
Contract Documents.
The Contract Administrator will:
i) reject the proposed amendment, and require the Contractor to take whatever
remedial measures necessary to achieve a Certificate of Conformance based on
the original Contract Documents.
or
ii) Accept the proposed amendment, but negotiate a credit from the Contractor
where the Owner deems that the amendment does not deliver the same quality
or performance as the Work specified in the Contract Documents, and require
the Contractor to submit a Certificate of Conformance for the work with the
accepted amendment attached.
or
iii) Accept the proposed amendment and require the Contractor to submit a
Certificate of Conformance for the work with the accepted amendment attached.

New Color Codes & Reference Samples for Confed. Blvd Colors
Please note that we have recently developed new color codes and reference samples for
the Confederation Boulevard colors with the Sherwin Williams Chemical Coatings
Company. These new codes and reference samples have been produced specifically for
liquid paint coatings to match the original Confed. Blvd colors (from 1987) and to ensure
color uniformity with the powder coat finish samples developed with Lumec & Sherwin
Williams in 2003/04.
Note that the powder coat color codes (different codes than the liquid finish) are still
available from the Landscape Architecture Section if required.
Sherwin Williams was responsible for preparing reference samples and color codes for
the Powder Coating system used by Lumec for the new CB light fixtures. These colors
are now matched with the following new liquid paint codes:
NCC Dark grey:
NCC Cool Grey:
NCC Green:
* Cardboard color chits are available from the Landscape Architecture Section
The METALLIC BRONZE color for the lighting poles has recently been developed by
SICO paints (local source) to match the metallic bronze color used by Valmont (paint
supplier: Tnemec) for the poles purchased in 2004.
NCC metallic Bronze:
* Sico has been asked to change the above code to NCC 12478 40.

Primary Geogrid - The primary geogrids long-term design strength shall be determined
in accordance with the following:
Where:
T ULT
Ta =
RF CR x RF ID x RF D
TULT - Ultimate Tensile Strength shall be the minimum average roll value ultimate tensile
strength as tested per ASTM D6637. This test shall be conducted without artificially
deforming test materials under load before measuring such resistance or employing an
artificial secant or offset tangent basis of measurement so as to overstate tensile
properties.
RFCR The Reduction Factor for Creep is the ratio of TULT divided by the creep rupture
strength determined in accordance with ASTM D5262-07. Long-term creep rupture of the
reinforcement shall be determined from controlled laboratory testing conducted for a range of
load levels and durations in accordance to ASTM D5262 adequate for extrapolation to the
design life. Elevated temperature can be used to accelerate creep rupture test for the purpose
of extrapolation. A minimum total of 12 rupture data points with a minimum of 4 data points
at each temperature and at least one test having a rupture time over 10,000 hours or more are
required to establish a rupture envelope. The requirement for the minimum creep test may be
waived for a new product if it can be demonstrated that is sufficiently similar to a proven
creep tested product of a similar nature. When these conditions are met, creep testing shall be
conducted for at least 1,000 hours before time shifting, with adequate elevated temperature
data to permit to 50,000 hours or more. The limited test results of the new product are
compared to the results of the previously conducted full testing program. The 1,000 hour
creep curves must pattern very closely to the 1,000 hour porting of the similar product to
demonstrate equivalency. Creep testing is required on representative samples of the finished
product and not a single component of the geogrid (e.g., fiber and/or yarn). The ultimate
strength used in this calculation shall be that of the roll used in the testing and not the MARV
for the product.
In no event shall the minimum value of RFCR be less than:
HDPE Uniaxial geogrid
2.56
PP biaxial geogrid
4.00
RFID The Reduction Factor for Installation Damage is the ratio of the virgin reinforcement
TULT divided by the TULT of a sample of the same material recovered from an installation
damage test. Tests shall be conducted using the actual backfill from the project in accordance

with GRI-GG4. However, in lieu of such testing, the Manufacturer may supply test results
from other backfill soils if such soils can be shown to result in more severe construction
damage than the proposed backfill. TULT shall be determined in accordance with ASTM
D6637-01 and sample recovery shall be consistent with ASTM D5818-06.
In no event shall the minimum value of RFID be less than:
HDPE Uniaxial geogrid
1.05
PP Biaxial geogrid
1.05
RFD - Reduction Factor for Durability/Aging is the combined partial factor for potential
chemical and biological degradation. RFD shall be determined from polymer specific (HDPE
and PP as identified by their mechanical properties, and PET as identified by CEG number
and number average molecular weight, Mn) durability testing covering the range of expected
soil environments. Polyolefin geogrids can be used in a pH range from 3 to 12, and polyester
geogrids can be used within a pH range of greater than 3 and less than 9. The minimum
Reduction Factor for Durability/Aging for HDPE and PP shall be 1.0.
For soils of potential concern, as presented below (modified soil shall include lime stabilized
soil, cement stabilized soil, or concrete), only polymers listed as YES shall be used within
or adjacent to (3 feet shortest measurable distance) these soil environments (Reference: Table

SECTION 02316
ROCK REMOVAL
PAGE 2 OF 4
.1
Rock: any solid sedimentary material which is integral with its parent mass, and boulders
or rock fragments having an individual volume greater than 1.0 m3 and which cannot be
removed by means of mechanical excavating equipment. Frozen material is not classified
as rock.
.2
Rock removal by mechanical means: rock not removed by blasting; work consists of
drilling of holes 0.30 to 0.60 m apart horizontally (as required) and 0.10 m deeper than
the bottom of the trench, and breaking rock with a hammer.
1.5
SITE CONDITIONS
.1
As per the GBR and GDR, the excavations at several locations are expected to extend
into the bedrock. Some structures will be constructed directly over the existing sewers; at
these locations the bedrock should be removed using mechanical methods (i.e., hoeramming) which will likely be slow and tedious. Blasting is permitted for rock
excavation on this project in areas not within 5m of existing sewers and other utilities.
Refer to Section 02228 Blasting for requirements of blasting.
.2
For work within 5m of existing sewers and within bedrock, it should be planned to line
drill the bedrock along the perimeter of the excavation at a close spacing in advance hoeramming to provide a clean rock face and to reduce the potential for damage to existing
infrastructure. Line drilling shall include 75 millimetre diameter holes drilled at a
maximum spacing of 300 millimetres or closer as required by the rock conditions.
1.6
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
.1
The rock removal consists of rock excavation within the sewer, shafts, trenches, and
associated structures and disposal of excess materials off site. See 1.9 below for
additional disposal details.
.2
The payment under this section shall be included as a unit rate pricing as described in
Section 01025 Measurement and Payment.

.1
Abrasion: Detrimental wear of TBM and plant components from excavation and muck
handling processes.
.2
Cutter Head: Rotating tool or system of tools on common support excavating at face of
bore.
.3
.4
Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBM: A TBM with a pressure bulkhead located behind
the tunnel face that forms an excavation or mixing chamber under pressure. The sealed
system balances hydrostatic and earth pressures against the inflow of ground and water
during excavation. Conditioners are injected into the excavation chamber to be mixed
with material which is excavated by a rotary cutterhead. The spoil mix is extracted by
means of a sealed screw conveyor in an operation integrated with the TBM advance to
ensure continuous support of the tunnel face. EPBM that utilizes pressure relieving gates
are not acceptable.
.5
Excavated Profile: Shown on the Contract Drawings that defines the tunnel crosssection.
.6
Full Pressurized Mode: The tunnel face is continuously supported in closed mode at a
pressure no less than the groundwater pressure at the invert level plus the effective,
active ground pressure acting on the tunnel face.
.7
Muck: Excavated material consisting of a mixture of soil and/or rock cuttings and water,
removed from the tunnel. Muck may also include conditioner, bentonite, and polymer,
fragments of wood, cobbles, and boulders.
.8
Open Mode: The pressure in the TBM excavation chamber is equal to the atmosphere air
pressure in the lined tunnel. The excavation chamber may be full or partially full with
spoil.
.9
Overbreak: Excavation that occurs beyond the excavation limits shown on the Contract
Drawings.
.10
Precast Concrete Tunnel Lining (PCTL): Precast concrete segments that are bolted or
dowelled together inside the TBM tail shield to form contiguous gasketed, watertight
tunnel lining rings.

This section specifies requirements for the supply, installation and testing of rock
reinforcement and support for use in shaft, underground chamber and connecting tunnel
construction. In this context, the term underground chamber refers to deaeration
chambers at drop shaft locations, the chamber connection at the intersection of the EWT
and NST, and any diversion chamber or other structure excavation that extends into
bedrock.
.2
The requirements stated herein do not apply to the main tunnel sections for the EWT and
NST, because the specified method to be used for tunnel excavation and support, as
specified in Section 02430, Tunnel Excavation by Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM),
precludes the use of rock reinforcement as specified herein. However, in the event of any
enlargements for the Contractors convenience, as approved by the Engineer, or
construction of tail tunnels at launch shaft locations, these provisions will apply.

.2
.3
.4
.5
Rock bolts
Rock dowels, including friction bolts
Steel straps or mine straps
Rolled steel channels
Welded wire mesh
.4
Steel rib supports are not specified. Should the Contractor or Contractors design
engineer determine a need for steel rib supports, the materials and installation procedures
are required to be detailed in a submittal to the Engineer.
.5
The identified rock reinforcement and excavation support elements shall be installed as
individual elements or in combinations as determined necessary by the Contractor or
Contractors design engineer to provide safe and stable shaft, underground chamber and
connecting tunnel excavations, as well as other enlargements or excavations made for the
Contractors convenience. This Section also details the methods to be used to select the
excavation support types for the excavations.
.6
Shotcrete may be used as an excavation support element in conjunction with the rock
reinforcement and excavation support specified in this Section. Shotcrete is specified in
Section 03361, Shotcrete.

DEFINITIONS
.1
Rock Reinforcement: The use of rock bolts, rock dowels, steel straps, rolled steel
channels, welded wire mesh, spiles and shotcrete, with related support accessories, used
individually or in combination, to reinforce the in-situ rock mass and increase the
capacity of the rock mass to support itself. Rock reinforcement is intended to provide
tensile, shear, and frictional strength across rock discontinuities, to prevent progressive
failure of the rock mass along in situ or incipient planes of weakness. Rock
reinforcement is also referred to as initial support or excavation support. Related
accessories include, but are not limited to, steel washers, nuts, bearing plates, and
miscellaneous steel.
.2
Rock Bolt: A fully grouted initial support element consisting of deformed or threaded
steel bar installed in a hole drilled into the rock mass, fitted with standard end hardware
to allow the bolt to be tensioned. The bolt may have a mechanically set expansion anchor
that allows the bolt to be tensioned prior to grouting. Alternatively, if the bolt is grouted
using resin grout, then a fast-setting grout can be used in the anchor zone, with slower
CITY OF OTTAWA

SECTION 02437
ROCK REINFORCEMENT AND
EXCAVATION
PAGE 3 OF 9
setting grout used for the remainder of the bolt, allowing the bolt to be tensioned prior to
setting and curing of the slow set grout. Standard end hardware consists of a bearing
plate, one or more beveled washers, a flat steel washer and a hexagonal nut.
.3
.4
1.5
Grouted dowel: A deformed or threaded steel bar set in a hole drilled into the
rock mass and fully encapsulated in resin grout or cement grout; the bar is
installed without pretensioning and without end hardware, unless otherwise
specified. End hardware would be typically included to hold in place surface
elements such as welded wire mesh, steel straps or rolled steel channels.
Standard end hardware consists of a bearing plate, one or more beveled washers,
a flat steel washer, and a hexagonal nut.
.2
Friction bolt: An untensioned tube inserted into a drilled hole in a rock mass to
act as a reinforcing element. There are two basic types typically referred to as
Split Sets or Swellex bolts, although similar bolts are made by multiple
manufacturers. The former is a slotted steel tube with a tapered end that is
inserted into a drilled hole in the rock mass that is slightly smaller in diameter
than the bolt, and that is driven into the hole so that the exterior of the tube
makes full contact with the wall of the drilled hole along its full length and
circumference. The latter is a rock bolt made of a welded tube folded on itself
and sealed at one end that is inserted into a drilled hole in a rock mass and
expanded using a high pressure water flow provided by a special pump to
achieve full contact with the wall of the drilled hole along its full length and
circumference. Friction bolts shall not be installed to support the crown of the
NST and EWT connection chamber or the deaeration chambers.
Spile: A steel bar installed over the crown of a tunnel or chamber excavation and ahead
of the tunnel or chamber excavation face to provide temporary pre-reinforcement of
the crown during subsequent excavation. The bars are deformed or threaded steel bars,
and are fully grouted and installed in a percussion-drilled hole without pre-tensioning.

Closure Criteria: Criteria used to determine when an area undergoing grouting has been
sufficiently treated by evidence of reduction of the rock mass permeability. The measure
of the reduction of rock mass permeability will be determined by inflow measurement.
Criteria which are exceeded will determine whether it is necessary to drill additional
holes by the split-spacing approach and resume grouting.

.4
Ascending Stage Grouting: A procedure wherein a grout hole is drilled to the full
planned depth, or to such depth in response to subsurface conditions, then water tested
and grouted in packer isolated stages that are sequenced from the bottom to the top of the
hole.
.5
Grouting (Curtain Grouting): The injection of grout into grout holes arranged around the
shaft excavation and deaeration chambers as shown on the Contract Drawings. The grout
curtain is installed to reduce groundwater inflow into the shaft excavation.
.6
.7
Discrete Feature: A discrete joint or discontinuity in the rock mass as defined in the
GBR.
.8
.9
Hookup: The process of satisfactorily seating a packer at the top of a specified stage or
grout hole preparatory to performing a water pressure test or for grouting.
.10
Pre-excavation Grouting: The injection of grout into the ground or rock ahead of an
excavation through grout and probe holes drilled from within the excavation or ground
surface to control groundwater inflows or to improve ground conditions.
.11
Refusal: The point during grouting when little or no grout is accepted into the formation
under the maximum allowable pressure, which signals the completion of grouting in any
stage or hole.
.12
Staging: The breakdown of the grout or probe holes in intervals of stages. The basis of
staging a hole may be ground conditions encountered in the hole or for the purposes of
enhancing the effects of grouting. Staging may be performed in ascending or descending
methods where each stage is isolated by a packer for the purposes of water testing,
grouting and stabilizing and filling of the hole with grout and redrilled if conditions
require.
.13
Water Pressure Tests: Test consisting of measuring water take over a set time interval for
a particular stage or hole length at specified pressures. The purpose of water pressure
tests is to determine the ground/rock mass permeability and assist in selection of
appropriate grout mixes compatible with the measured permeability.
.14
Water to Cement Ratio: The ratio, as measured by weight, of water to cement in the
grout mix.

.1
The Contractor shall collect seismograph data prior to any vibration-producing demolition or
construction activities to document background vibrations at each monitoring location. This
monitoring shall consist of a continuous recording of the maximum single-component peak
particle velocities for one-minute intervals, which shall be printed on a strip chart. The
background monitoring shall be performed for a minimum of five consecutive days,
continuously.
.2
The Contractor shall monitor vibration during demolition and other significant vibration
producing construction activities. This monitoring shall consist of a continuous recording of
the maximum single-component peak particle velocities for one-minute intervals, which shall
be printed on a strip chart. During the monitoring, the Contractor shall document all events
that are responsible for the measured vibration levels, and submit the documentation to the
Contract Administrator with the data as specified in Article 3.4.
.3
All vibration monitoring data shall be recorded contemporaneously and plotted continuously
on a graph by the data acquisition equipment or software. Each graph shall show timedomain wave traces (particle velocity versus time) for each transducer with the same vertical
and horizontal axes scale.
.4
The Contractor shall notify the Contract Administrator at least 24 hours prior to starting a
new vibration-producing construction task, and shall have the seismographs in place and
functioning properly prior to any such activity within 100 m of the monitoring locations. No
significant vibration-producing activity shall occur within this zone unless the monitoring
equipment is functioning properly and baseline data has been collected and submitted.
.5
The equipment shall be set up in a manner such that an immediate warning is given when the
peak particle velocity in any direction exceeds the Response Values specified in Article 1.5.1.
The warning emitted by the vibration-monitoring equipment shall be instantaneously
transmitted to the responsible person designated by the Contractor by means of warning
lights, audible sounds or electronic transmission. The Contractor shall immediately inform
the Contract Administrator of all such occurrences.
