Document Description
The project will repair and replace the existing articulated steel conduit connecting a horizontal directionally drilled (HDD) pipe to a Verizon manhole in the sandspit beach parking lot at Montaña de Oro State Park and will issue a Right of Entry permit to the contractor to perform the work.

- Locate existing telecommunication utilities by potholing;

- Reinforce and shore-up soils around the end of the existing HDD pipe with steel beams to create a secured access point 8-ft long x 4-ft wide x 6-ft deep;
- Dig using an excavator, except within 5 feet of any working fiber, which then shall be dug by hand.
- Detach and remove the existing articulated steel pipe for disposal;
- Seal and cap end of the HDD pipe;
- Install a 1-4-in. inside diameter schedule 40 PVC conduit at a typical depth of 4-ft from the beach manhole wall and stub at the wall of the shoring plates;
- Backfill and compact soils around duct, compacting in 6-in. lifts with appropriate fill material;
- Cover the 8-ft x 4ft x 6-ft secured access point with a 10-ft long x 6-ft wide x 1.25-in. thick steel plate, flush mounted to the existing asphalt elevation; and
- When future cable is installed, the steel plate will be removed and secured access point will be restored to prior conditions with asphalt.
