4.3 Existing Conduit 4.3.1 Prior to pulling cable in existing underground conduit to be reused in the system, the conduit shall be cleaned with a mandrel or cylindrical wire brush and
blown out with compressed air. If conduit appears to be blocked, the contractor shall make an attempt to clear the conduit by rodding. (The Contractor will not receive extra compensation
for rodding). The Owner shall be notified prior to disconnection or removal of the existing interconnect' cable. 4.3.2 Where existing conduit is found to be unusable (conduit has collapsed
or the cable is unable to be pulled from the existing conduit), the Contractor shall, upon approval by the Owner, install new rigid metal or P.V.C. conduit. 5.0 INSTALLATION OF CABLE
5.1 General 5.1.1 The cables shall be installed in the conduit. the conduit must be continuous, reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without sharp projections, edges or short
bends. If so required by the Owner, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the conduit is dry and free of debris by pulling a swab and/or mandrel through the conduit. The conductors shall
be installed in such a manner and by such methods so as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductors or damage to the insulation. Installation methods shall conform to the
recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shall furnish at least two copies of the manufacturer's recommendations, which includes: methods of attaching pull cable, pulling
tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit bend, and the type of lubricant to be used. 5.1.2 All cables in a given conduit run shall be pulled at the same time and the co nductors
shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of pulling eyes. For short runs,
the cables may be gripped directly by the conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before
the loop is formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling tension in each case. 5.1.3 In many instances, existing conduits which contain signal cable are to
be used for the installation of new cables. In such locations. where new cables are to replace all existing cables, the existing cables maybe used to pull in the new cables. At locations
where new cables are to be added to existing cable runs, the existing cables shall first be pulled Oi.,lt, then replaced, adding the new cables to the existing cables to form one cable
pull. Installation shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables .. In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of material
and labor for replacement of defective cables. 5.1.4 All conduit runs shall be measured accurately and precisely for determining cable lengths to be installed. A measuring device shall
be inserted into the conduit, and the length shall be measured (to the nearest foot) from entry entry point to exit point. All conduit run measurements shall take place in the presence
of the Engineer or the Inspector. The 11 -9 
Contractor shall record all cable measurements and include the distances in the as-built drawings. In locations where new cables are to replace existing cables, the Contractor may use
the removed cables as a measuring device to determine the lengths of the removed cables to be installed, however, this does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to record
accurate measurements of all cable lengths. 5.1.5 The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Owner,
the Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being exceeded. The cable
shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and cables shall be drawn from the conduit in direct line with the
conduit. Sheaves or other suitable devices shall be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during installation. The cables shall be adequately lubricated to reduce friction
and further minimize possible damage. Such lubricants shall not be the grease or oil type used on lead sheathed cables, but shall be one of several commercially available wire pulling
compounds that are suitable for P.V.C. sheathed cables. They shall consist of soap, talc, mica, or similar materials and shall be designed to have no deleterious effect on the cables
being used. 5.1.6 The cables shall be neatly trained to their destinations in manholes, cabinets, pole bases, pull boxes, and all other terminations. The cable manufacturer's recommended
values for the minimum bending radii to which cables may be bent for permanent training during installation shall be adhered to. These limits do not apply to conduit bends, sheaves or
other curved surfaces around which these cables may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger radius bends are required for such conditions. 5.2 Wire and Cable 5.2.1 All
wire and cable shall conform to the requirements shown on the plans, except wire and cable specifically covered by other items of this contract. The minimum size of conductors shall

materials used shall be high quality and specifically intended for these purposes. The cables shall be trained to their final position and cut to proper lengths. The jacket and insulation
shall be removed as required. In doing this. use proper care to insure against nicking the conductors. The connector shall be installed tightly and all burrs, rough edges, etc. shall
be removed. If required in the plans or by the Owner, the connection also shall be soldered. Heat shall be applied by use of hot solder. Heating the connection with a direct flame will
not be permitted. Care shall be used to protect the insulation when soldering. The entire surface shall be cleaned taking special care in clel!.ning the outside jacket in order to remove
the wax finish. Before the first layer of tape is wrapped, .• the entire area shall be coated with an electric grade rubber element. After this solvent has . dried, the connection shall
be insulated with electrical grade rubber splicing compound tape. to proper thickness. This tape requires a pressure and temperature in service to complete its vulcanizing process and
thus be stretched to 2/3 width when applied. The 􀁣􀁯􀁭􀁰􀁬􀁥􀁴􀁾􀁤􀀠splice shall be covered with a half-lap layer of vinyl plastic electrical tape. This wrapping shall be smooth but
the tape shall not be stretched more than necessary. 5.6.3 Splices in communications cables shall include the shield. Splices between cable pairs :;'.shall be made with "Scotchlock"
brand solderless connectors designed for this specific application. The completed splice shall be insulated with a re-enterable plastic splice case. Splices at points other than those
shown on the plans may be made only with the written permission of the Owner. 11 -11 
5.6.4 The Owner shall select at random at least 5 splices to be thoroughly inspected. The Contractor shall, in the presence of the Owner sectionalize the splice to expose the various
layers of materials and the connector. The splice shall be thoroughly checked for compliance to these special provisions. The splice shall then be remade by the Contractor. This work
shall not require extra payment, but is considered subsidiary to other items in the contract. All of the splices selected for this inspection shall conform to the requirements of these
special prOvisions. If any splices fail to meet these requirements, ten (10) more splices shall be selected at random by the Owner for inspection. 5.7 Enclosed Wiring 5.7.1 All cables
and signal conductor wire above the ground surface shall be enclosed in approved metal conduit up to but no closer than one foot of the lowest power conductor. Power-tap lines carried
down poles shall be placed in metal conduit. 5,8 Identification of Signal Wires 5.S.1 IMSA color coded signal cable shall be used for ail signal and interconnect systems. Colors shall
