SCOPE OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 GENERAL

A. In general, the project consists of evaluating, rehabilitating, reinstalling, and placing into service two (2) existing raw wastewater pumps in Pump Building No. 1 at the Bergen County Utilities Authority (BCUA) Wastewater Plant in the Borough of Little Ferry, New Jersey. The pumps to be evaluated, rehabilitated, reinstalled, and placed back into service are the pumps labeled as 1-5 and 1-6. Pump 1-5 shall be repaired first. Once it has been accepted and returned to service, pump 1-6 will be evaluated and repaired. Existing pump motors are not included in this evaluation or rehabilitation and are to remain onsite. Motors will be deenergized (lock out tag out) by BCUA operations.

B. Sequence: Pumps 1-5 and 1-6 are currently in use; they shall be evaluated and repaired in series.

C. The pumps to be rehabilitated under this Contract shall meet the performance standards as outlined in the bid documents. The Contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment included in evaluating and rehabilitating the existing pumps.

D. It is the intent of these Specifications for the Contractor to evaluate and rehabilitate the pumps.

Contractor shall provide a written report with an assessment of all major components and a recommendation regarding the need to repair or replace other components. Report shall be in the form of a letter on the pump repair shop’s letterhead and shall include photos of the disassembled pump components and photos of any problems identified. Repair and replacement components recommended shall include a cost estimate and an estimated time for their repair in the written report.

E. The rehabilitated pumps shall be operational and able to perform their rated capacity.

Evaluate, and re-install the pumps completely, which includes all the necessary improvements as set forth in the Contract Documents.

F. Pump Building No. 1 shall remain active at all times. Pumping of wastewater shall remain uninterrupted. After a pump is put back in service, it shall be operational for 48 consecutive hours prior acceptance by the Engineer and Owner.

01010-2

PART 2 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

B. The price bid shall include furnishing all labor, material and equipment required to perform the following for each pump:

a. The pump rotating assemblies will be removed by BCUA operations and volute caps installed to isolate flow.

b. The pumps will be removed from the dry well and located on the grade level.

Contractor shall be responsible for loading and transporting to the pump repair shop.

c. Contractor shall verify with BCUA operations that the motors have be de-energized (lock out tag out).

d. Isolate the pump’s seal water flow and disconnect the seal water supply line.

e. Remove shaft intermediate guards and supports, as needed.

f. Set up and remove the existing coupling from the shaft of the existing rotating assembly.

g. Send the existing pump rotating assembly to a certified pump service shop.

Rehabilitation work shall include the following:

i. Replace the bearings.

ii. Replace the existing packing with mechanical seals.

iii. Replace the wearing rings, seal rings, and O rings.
