in which case a full brick shall be used at the corner and the bat in the interior of the course.

In case any brick is moved, or a joint broken during laying, the brick shall be taken up, the mortar thoroughly cleaned from the brick, bed, and joints, and the brick relaid in fresh mortar. In hot and dry weather, or when directed, the brick masonry shall be protected and kept moist for a period of at least forty-eight (48) hours after laying of the brick.

The inside and outside surfaces of brick masonry shall be neatly plastered with mortar to a thickness of not less than one-half (1⁄2) inch, and the mortar shall be finished to a true and uniform surface. The mortar shall be protected and kept moist for forty-eight (48) hours after completion.

Brick masonry shall not be constructed in freezing weather or when bricks contain frost, except by written permission of the engineer and subject to such conditions for protection against freezing.

751-3.3 CONCRETE STRUCTURES. The structures shall be constructed of concrete, built on prepared foundations, conforming to the dimensions and form indicated on the plans. The construction shall conform to the methods, forms, mixture, placement, and curing, as specified in Item P-610. Any reinforcement required shall be of the kind, type, and size, and shall be furnished, located, spaced, bent, and fastened as indicated on the plans; it shall be approved by the engineer before the concrete is poured.

All invert channels shall be constructed and shaped accurately so as to be smooth, uniform, and cause minimum resistance to flow. The interior bottom shall be sloped downward toward the outlet.

751-3.4 INLET AND OUTLET PIPES. Inlet and outlet pipes shall extend through the walls of the structures for a sufficient distance beyond the outside surface to allow for connections, but shall be cut off flush with the wall on the inside surface unless otherwise directed. Concrete or brick and mortar shall be constructed around the pipes so as to prevent leakage and form a neat connection.

751-3.5 PLACEMENT AND TREATMENT OF CASTINGS, FRAMES, AND FITTINGS. All castings, frames, and fittings shall be placed in the positions indicated on the plans or as directed by the engineer, and shall be set true to line and to correct elevation.

The fill shall be made to the elevation shown on the plans, or as directed by the engineer.

(b) No backfilling shall be placed against any structure until permission is given by the engineer. In the case of concrete, such permission preferably shall not be given until the concrete has been in place fourteen (14) days, or until tests made by the laboratory, under the supervision of the engineer, establish that the concrete has attained sufficient strength to withstand any pressure created by the methods used and materials placed without damage or strain beyond a safe factor. Adequate provisions shall be made for thorough drainage.

(c) Fill placed shall be deposited all around a structure at the same time and to approximately the same elevation. Especial care shall be taken to prevent any wedging action against the structure, and all slopes bounding or within the areas to be backfilled will be stepped or serrated to prevent wedge action.

(d) All backfill shall be compacted to the density as required in Item P-152, and as determined by CAA compaction control tests T-611 for the class of airport involved.

(e) Backfill shall not be measured for direct payment. Performance of this work is not payable directly, but shall be considered as a subsidiary obligation of the contractor, covered under the contract unit price for the structure involved.

751-3.8 CLEANING AND RESTORATION OF SITE. After the backfill is completed, the contractor shall dispose of all surplus material, dirt, and rubbish from the site. Surplus dirt may be deposited in embankment, shoulders, or as ordered by the engineer. Except for paved areas of the airport, the contractor shall restore all disturbed areas to their original condition.

After all work is completed, the contractor shall remove all tools and other equipment used by him, leaving the entire site free, clear, and in good condition.

Performance of the work described in this section is not payable directly, but shall be considered as a subsidiary obligation of the contractor, covered under the contract unit price for the structure.
