SPECIAL PROVISIONS
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The project covered by these specifications is for a 12" sanitary s wer connection
(within the Village of Roseville) from a point adjacent to the exis iag Village 18"
trunk sewer at the intersection of McCarron Blvd. and Woodruff Aven e to the Juven-
ile Detention Home now under construction near the intersection of 'ale Street and
Larpenteur Avenue. Approximately 9O feet of 12" sewer must be buil by the Village
of Roseville from the 18" trunk sewer on McCarron Blvd. to the poin of beginning of
this project. It is anticipated that a contract for the construction of subject 90
feet of sewer will be awarded in the near future under Project No. o , Village of
Roseville, Sanitary Sewer Improvement No. 1, with a completion date specified to be
no later than July 1, 1957.
All labor and materials to complete this sanitary sewer connection - 11 be furnished
by the Contractor for the project.

Measurement of trees removed shall be per unit, when larger than the size previously
described.
The basis of measurement and payment for the use of "Sealite" yarn i lieu of jute
shall be on the basis of the additional unit price per lineal foot o 8" V.C.P. for
using "Sealite" yarn where so ordered by the Engineer. The bids rec ived for 8"
V.C.P. at the various depths shall be on the basis of using jute joi is as speci-
fied, and the additional price of using "Sealite" shall be added to he bid prices
