conductor shall be brought inside through a watertight sleeve in the wall.
Connection to ground rods shall be by means of bolted-clamp terminals or by
an approved fusion-welding process. Ground wires shall be neatly and
firmly attached to handhole walls, and the amount of exposed bare wire
shall be held to a minimum.
3.15.5
Metal Cable Boxes
Metal cable boxes for direct-burial cable shall be connected to adjacent
ground rods by wires with current-carrying capacities of at least 20
percent of the spliced phase conductors, but not less than No. 6 AWG.

TESTS
3.16.1
Testing For CCTV Assessment Lighting
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Omit this paragraph if the lighting is not
used for CCTV Assessment.
**************************************************************************
The Contractor shall perform site testing and adjustment of the completed
CCTV lighting. The Contractor shall perform the CCTV lighting testing in
conjunction with Section 16751A CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEMS. The
Contractor shall provide personnel, equipment, instrumentation, and
supplies necessary to perform testing. Written notification of planned
testing shall be given to the Government at least 14 days prior to the
test; notice shall not be given until after the Contractor has received
written approval of the specific test procedures. Test procedures shall
explain, in detail, step-by-step actions and expected results demonstrating
compliance with the requirements of the specification. Test reports shall
be used to document results of the tests. Reports shall be delivered to
the Government within 7 days after completion of each test.
3.16.2
Operating Test
After the installation is completed and at such time as the Contracting
Officer may direct, the Contractor shall conduct an operating test for
approval. The equipment shall be demonstrated to operate in accordance
with the requirements specified. The test shall be performed in the
presence of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall furnish
instruments and personnel required for the test, and the Government will
furnish the necessary electric power.
3.16.3
Ground Resistance Measurements
The resistance to ground shall be measured by the fall-of-potential method
described in IEEE Std 81. The contractor shall maintain a separate set of
drawings, elementary diagrams and wiring diagrams of the lighting to be
used for "as-built" drawings. This set shall be accurately kept up to date
by the Contractor with all changes and additions to the lighting system.
In addition to being complete and accurate, this set of drawings shall be
kept neat and shall not be used for installation purposes. Upon completion
of the as-built drawings, a representative of the Government will review
the as-built work with the Contractor. If the as-built work is not
complete, the Contractor will be so advised and shall complete the work as
required.
