14.6 – Scope of Work

The Contractor shall furnish all labor, tools, transportation, supervision, materials, inspections, equipment, and safety compliance necessary to perform all work required to remove and properly dispose of all Zebra Mussels and marine deposits attached to the active Raw Water Intake (RWI) and associated timber crib structure to ensure unrestricted water flow to the Great Lakes Water Treatment Plant. The RWI consists of a 36-inch diameter pipe that extends 8400 feet from building 12 into Lake Michigan at a depth of approximately 30 feet. The RWI terminates into a three-legged crow’s foot design with only one active “Central intake” and two inactive “North” and “South” intakes. Each intake is protected by a timber crib structure that is weighted down with a ballast stone and furnished with a hinged top, to serve as an access hatch. Each timber crib structure surrounds an unscreened 42-inch diameter flared end riser extending vertically from the intake pipeline. The Contractor shall inspect all additional inactive intakes, associated timber crib structures, and the 1925 risers, as well as provide “before” and “after” reports with still photographs, videos, and a detailed itemized estimates for any recommended corrective actions.

During interior inspections, the Contractor shall obtain a water sample at each interior location to provide to the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) staff for analyzation. Throughout the entire project, the Contractor shall ensure proper disinfection procedures are used to clean potentially contaminated equipment and materials that may contact the Lake waters. The Contractor shall prepare an Option Bid to be presented to the Government for consideration. The Option Bid shall include the entire scope of work with the addition of “Video Inspection and DVD Recording” of the entire 36-inch X 8400-foot pipeline by a diver or a remote operated vehicle (ROV).

* NOTES

1. The Contractor shall perform the work in accordance with U.S. Fish Wildlife Service (USFWS), Federal, and State local laws.

2. Selection of cleaning method and equipment shall be based on the condition of the intake structure at the time of work commencement. Satisfactory precautions shall be taken to protect the intake pipe, structures, and construction site from damage that might be inflicted by the improper use of the cleaning process or equipment.

14.6.1 – Inspections Exterior inspections are necessary to assess condition, verify covers are secured-in-place (at inactive structures), look for damage or areas of concern, and provide any recommended corrective actions along with any necessary details or measures for said actions.

Interior inspections of the raw water line are required at the Central Intake and the 1925 Risers locations. Interior inspections are necessary to assess the condition of the pipe interior, sample line, chemical feed lines, damage, areas of concern, and to provide any recommended corrective actions along with any necessary details or measures for said actions. The interior inspections are also necessary to assess the quality and quantity of sediment accumulated at these representative locations to assist in planning for future cleaning operations. Based on previous operations, a portion of the sediment is expected to be loose and readily removable, while the remainder is expected to be partially hardened and adhered to the pipe. The interior inspections shall provide the government with data regarding the observed quality of sediment, the average depth of sediment, and estimated proportions of sediment of differing quality (hardened versus loose). Also desired is any feedback regarding recommended means/methods for the full removal of sediment encountered during inspections. During interior inspections, the Contractor shall obtain one ‘grab’ water sample (250ml minimum) at each interior inspection location (center intake and 1925 risers). The samples shall be collected near the midline of the 36-inch intake pipe at each location.

The Contractor shall immediately deliver the samples to the WTP supervisor for analysis by the WTP staff for chlorine residual and turbidity.

14.6.1.1 – Inspection locations

At the Center Intake Structure, clean Zebra mussels, and marine deposits from the:

Protective Wooden Crib (All surfaces) Cast Iron Structure (All surfaces) Diffuser (if necessary) Chlorine Line (if necessary) Sample Line (if necessary)

Exterior – Protective Wooden Crib Exterior – Concrete Block Foundation Exterior – Foundation Protection (Riprap) Exterior – Inspect any exposed intake pipe/joints (At opening) – Diffuser Exterior/Interior – Center Intake Cast Iron Structure Interior – Intake Pipe (limited length – several feet from the intake rise end down into the pipe) Interior – Sample Line Interior – Chlorine Line Interior – Quality of Sediment Interior – Depth of Sediment Interior – Ratio of Sediment of Differing Qualities (hard versus loose)

At the 1925 Riser Structures, Inspect the Condition of the:

Exterior – All 5 Cast Iron Intake Riser Structures Exterior – All 5 Riser Covers

Exterior – Any exposed Intake Pipe/Joints Interior – 1 Representative Cast Iron Intake Riser Structure Interior – Intake Pipe (Limited Length – several feet from the intake riser up and down into the pipe) Interior – Sample Line Interior – Chlorine Line Interior – Quality of Sediment Interior – Depth of Sediment Interior – Ratio of Sediment of Differing Qualities (hard versus loose)

At the North and South Intake Structures, Inspect the Condition of the Exterior – Protective Wooden Cribs Exterior – Concrete Block Foundations

Exterior – Foundation Protection (Riprap) Exterior – Inspect Any Exposed Intake Pipe/Joints

Exterior – Cast Iron Intake Structures Exterior – Intake Pipe Covers

14.6.1.2 – Reports of Findings

Reports of findings must be submitted within 15 days after inspections are completed.

A. Reports shall include:

1. Summary of Condition of items inspected.

2. Pipe condition/integrity where inspected or observed.
