STATEMENT OF WORK

PERFORMANCE PERIOD: The work of this task order shall be provided from approximately 45 days from the notice to proceed.

I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK:

II. SCOPE OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS:

A. Water Meter Replacement:

This project is to remove and replace a 16” propeller meter with a government furnished 16” mag meter and spool piece. Contractor will supply and install a totalizer. Due to the inability for the park to completely valve off the meter, a wet installation will be necessary. The park will blow off fire hydrants to relieve the pressure. The last time the meter was replaced, a pump was needed to remove water from the meter pit and the fire hydrant blow offs were able to decrease the pressure to a safe pressure. The work will be performed at night. The contractor should arrive by 10 PM the day the work is to be performed and the work shall be completed by 4 AM the following morning. The contractor will provide all necessary lighting to accommodate the work site in a safe manner. The contractor’s supervisor will coordinate all work activity with the Grand Canyon utility.

The government will furnish the following:

16” Sensus Hydroverse meter (cut sheet provided) 16” X 2’-00.275” Fl X Fl spool piece 16” gaskets - 3 Bolt and nut packs for the 3 flanged connections (bolts marked “ A307B”)

The contractor will need to supply all equipment and machinery for the job. Contractor will provide all other necessary materials and supplies to complete the job.

Completion of this project shall be accepted when the water meter installed is identified as complying with all appropriate plumbing codes and standards, and when the water meter installed responds to the water meter totalizer.
