All of the work is located within or near Clarendon Avenue (near the Intracoastal Waterway) in the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, as shown on the project construction drawings.

The Contractor shall furnish and assume full responsibility for all labor, materials, tools, equipment, dewatering, permitting, inspections, water, light, power, transportation, temporary facilities (including bypass pumping systems and dewatering systems), temporary construction of every nature, overhead, profit, taxes, bonds, insurance, FPL coordination, traffic control, miscellaneous costs, and all other services and facilities of every nature whatsoever necessary to demolish/remove, clear, modify, construct, complete, deliver, start up, test, and place in operation the subject project as shown on the construction drawings and described in the specifications. The Contractor will be required to completely restore all disturbed areas as a result of the construction work.

The work includes, but is not limited to, mobilization, general conditions, surveying, record drawings, preconstruction video, permit compliance, maintenance of traffic and pedestrian access, testing, demolition, clearing and grubbing, utility relocations, pavement and base installation, milling and resurfacing, striping, curb installation, drainage improvements, and landscaping restoration. Structural work includes wetwell and manhole rehabilitation and modifications, top slab reconstruction and modifications, hatches, discharge structures with flap gates, concrete repairs, and installation of new platforms and ladders.

Mechanical and process components include installation of new stormwater pumps, pump cans, wastewater pumps, base elbows, guide rails, bypass pump-outs, valves, discharge piping, vent piping, odor control spare piping, wetwell fillets, protective coatings, and drainage structures with grating. Additional work includes salvaging and returning existing equipment to the Town as directed.

Electrical improvements include new conduit and wiring, panelboards, pull boxes, lighting, lightning protection, main control panels, RTU telemetry systems, SCADA programming, field instruments, and all associated controls and wiring for system operation. Work also includes installation or rehabilitation of an outdoor backup generator and base fuel tank, fuel system improvements, and coordination with FPL for new service and connections.

The Contractor shall perform the work complete, in place, tested (where applicable), and ready for continuous service. All repairs, replacements, and restoration required as a result of damage caused during construction shall be included. The Contractor shall furnish and install all materials, equipment, and labor reasonably inferable and necessary for the proper completion of the work, whether specifically indicated in the contract documents or not.

The Contractor shall sequence construction to maintain continuous operation of the D-17 stormwater pump station throughout the duration of the work. Demolition and construction shall be phased to ensure that required pumping capacity is maintained at all times. Temporary facilities must be provided by the Contractor, based on the Contractor’s means and methods, to ensure stormwater protection during construction. Any temporary outages, if allowed by the Town, must be coordinated in writing with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice.

The Contractor shall also sequence construction to maintain uninterrupted operation of the E- 13 wastewater pump station or provide a primary and redundant bypass system if the lift station must be taken out of service. Temporary facilities must be provided by the Contractor, based on the Contractor’s means and methods, to maintain the full capacity of the station and prevent any interruption of wastewater service during construction. Any temporary outages, if allowed by the Town, must also be coordinated in writing with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice.

The Contractor is expected to divide the work for the rehabilitation of the pump stations into manageable segments and to seek Town approval prior to removing each station from service or returning a rehabilitated station to normal operation.
