140L1723R0022 – Sand Gulch Campground Expansion – Questions and Answers

Q1) Is the notification of the pre-bid tour an amendment that should be acknowledged on the bid form?

A1) No, the first pre-bid amendment will be Amendment 1.

Q2) Missoula Concrete requests more specifics on the vault toilets to be supplied. Meagan has a copy of their requested information from the bid tour.

A2) See attachment

Q3) Blueprint Sheet 5 shows a kiosk to be moved, where will it be relocated?

A3) Kiosk will be sited near the existing vault toilet near the edge of the parking lot in a space that makes sense and doesn't require additional vegetation removal.

Q4) Blueprint Sheet 4 Will there be a path between Group B site parking and the tables? If so, dimensions and surface material needed.

A4) Yes there will be a built path with gravel. Approximately 30' long and 3' wide.

Q5) Blueprint Sheet 6 The 1,000 gallon holding tank. Chris said a holding tank NOT a septic tank.

What material (concrete, HDPE), some specifications (bedding under and around) and do you have an approved supplier? Does it need to meet any county, state or other requirements?

A5) Use an Infiltrator Tank IM Series Septic tank with 1000 gallon capacity or equivalent. All parts of the holding system shall comply with the Fremont County Sewage Disposal Regulations, including testing of tank for water tightness.

Q6) Blueprint Sheet 10 Can the concrete required be site mixed?

A6) Yes

Q7) Blueprint Sheet 15 shows headwalls with the culverts, are any anticipated for this project?

A7) No

Q8) Is a Stormwater Permit required for this site?

A8) No, it is under 1 acre.

Q9) Spec 201.06 says to use Clear and Grub as onsite mulch. Are there size requirements?

Previously, excess were placed in berms and covered, will this be acceptable rather than haul offsite for disposal?

140L1723R0022 – Sand Gulch Campground Expansion – Questions and Answers

A9) Scatter as much as possible on site.

Q10) Will the removed picnic tables be salvaged for BLM use or do they need to be disposed by contractor?

Must be backfilled and installed in accordance with Infiltrator Water Technologies, Infiltrator IM-Series Septic Tank General Installation Instructions and for shallow ground water conditions reference the Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Buoyancy Control Guidance.

Please visit www.infiltratorwater.com/images/ pdf/ManualsGuides/TANK01.pdf for the latest information.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Infiltrator Water Technologies’ tanks must be installed according to state and/or local regulations and approvals, which supersede the manufacturer’s installation instructions. If unsure of the installation requirements for a specific site, contact the health department or permitting authority. The IM-Series referred to in this document includes the IM-540, IM-1060, and IM-1530 models.

WARNING: IMPLOSIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY

Follow Infiltrator Water Technologies vacuum test instructions

INSTALLATION SITE SELECTION

1. Do not install the tank in vehicular traffic areas. The tank is designed for non-traffic applications.

2. The allowable soil cover depth is 6 to 48* inches (150 to 1,200 mm).

*18-inch (450 mm) max. in Florida for Cat. 3 IM-Series tanks;

48-inch (1,200 mm) max. in Florida for Cat. 4 IM-Series tanks; 36-inch (900 mm) max. in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Oregon.

3. Do not install where uninterrupted saturated soil could be present from the tank bottom to a height exceeding that of the outlet pipe saddle. See page 4 illustration.

EXCAVATING AND PREPARING THE SITE

1. Unless buoyancy control measures are required, the excavation width and length should be 18 to 36 inches (450 to 900 mm) larger than the tank on each side or sized as necessary to ensure proper backfill compaction, as outlined in Steps 5-10 of “Backfilling the Tank” in this document. See Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Buoyancy Control Guidance document, available online at www.infiltratorwater.com, for specific excavation requirements when installing buoyancy control measures.

2. Excavation depth shall account for the 55-inch (1,375 mm) tank height. Also account for 4 inches (100 mm) of bedding (if required) and cover depth (permissible cover depth is 0.5 to 4 feet (150 to 1,200 mm) of soil).

Note: If uninterrupted saturated soil conditions exist from the tank bottom to a height exceeding that of the outlet pipe saddle, tank structural integrity may be compromised. See page 4 illustration.

Indiana installations: If the depth of the uninterrupted saturated soil conditions cannot be determined from the site soil evaluation report or other site-related data and other information indicates the possible presence of a perched ground water table, tank installation is permissible.

3. Inspect bottom of excavation to verify suitability of native soil for tank installation. Soils with large, protruding, or sharp stones or other similar objects that may damage the tank are not suitable.

4. The tank may be installed either in suitable native soil (see Backfilling the Tank section) or a minimum 4-inch (100 mm) layer of well-graded granular soil having particles less than 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter, or maximum 0.5-inch (13 mm) diameter crushed stone.

5. Create a uniform, compacted, level surface to ensure that the bottom of the tank is evenly supported. Verify that the installation surface is flat.

INSTALLING THE TANK

1. Inspect the tank for damage before installation.

2. If the tank inlet and outlet penetrations are not drilled, drill holes using the drill points provided at each of the inlet and outlet ports according to the applicable Inlet and Outlet Hole Locations section of this document. The inlet and outlet may be drilled on either the sides or ends of the tank, as required based on applicable codes and site conditions.*

* Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, West Virginia, and certain Florida and Texas tanks are factory-drilled.

3. The gaskets supplied with the tank are compatible with Schedule 40 and SDR 35 pipe using a 5-inch-diameter (125 mm) hole saw.

4. Install the rubber gaskets at the inlet and outlet.

5. Using all four of the tank’s integral lifting lugs, lower tank into excavation.

6. Slide the inlet and outlet pipes* through the gaskets. Soapy lubricant may be used to slide the pipe in.

*For North Carolina, the inlet pipe shall be a straight pipe with no tee.

7. Horizontally position the tee 1½ inches (40 mm) from the access port rim, allowing the tee to fit into the recess in the access port lid (see detail).

8. Install lids and risers (see Installing Risers section) as necessary. Rotate lid over access opening until it indexes to tank and drops into position.

BACKFILLING THE TANK

Note: Infiltrator tanks do not require filling with water prior to backfill placement. Water filling and backfilling to the tank mid-height is required if the tank is left in either an open or backfilled excavation that may fill with water from rain or other sources.

1. Backfill with suitable native soil (max. 3-inch (75-mm) stone diameter). If native soil is unsuitable, replace unsuitable fraction with suitable soil. If suitable soil is not locally available, contact Infiltrator for assistance.

2. Suitable soil shall include soil textural classes defined in the United States Department of Agriculture soil triangle.

a) For a tank soil cover depth of 0.5 to 2.0 feet (150 to 600 mm), suitable soil textures include:

• Only suitable for potable applications if the tank bears the NSF/ANSI 61 certification mark. Otherwise, tank is recommended for use in septic, rainwater/ stormwater storage, holding, and pump applications, or other non-potable uses.

• Infiltrator tanks shall not be installed above ground. Contact Infiltrator if the 6-inch (150-mm) minimum soil cover depth cannot be met.

b) For a tank soil cover depth that is greater than 2.0 feet and up to 4.0 feet (600 to 1,200 mm), suitable soil textures include:

3. Backfill should not have stones greater than 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter or excessive clods that do not break apart during placement and compaction.

Backfill must be capable of occupying the spaces between the tank ribs and beneath the haunches.

Note: Rounded screened aggregate (e.g., pea gravel) is not a suitable backfill.

4. Standard field soil classification methods shall be used to determine the soil textural class.

Note: Under most circumstances, the determination of soil dilatancy will not be required. Dilatancy shall be determined in the field using a test that does not require specialized equipment, per ASTM D2488, Section 14.3.

5. Place and compact soil by walking-in beneath the haunches of the tank.

6. Place backfill around the four sidewalls in an alternating manner, so that the backfill height along the four sidewalls is maintained within a 12-inch (300-mm) tolerance.

7. Do not backfill top of tank before sidewalls are completely backfilled.

8. Continue to place backfill along the sidewalls in 12-inch (300-mm) lifts.

Place backfill between the ribs on the sidewalls such that the space between the ribs is completely filled with soil.

9. Compact backfill material either by walking-in, hand tamping or mechanical compaction (includes backhoe bucket). If mechanical compaction is used, such as a walk-behind tamper or backhoe bucket, a single pass is recommended. Compact each lift prior to placement of next lift. Compact backfill from tank walls to excavation sidewalls.

10. Complete backfilling and grade the area.

11. A minimum 6-inch (150-mm) depth of suitable soil must be placed over the top of the tank. The balance of backfill placed to finish grade above the tank may be either suitable or unsuitable soil.

12. Establish a strong stand of erosion-resistant vegetation.

Grade to prevent the backfilled excavation from filling with surface runoff. If uninterrupted saturated soil conditions are present from the tank bottom to a height exceeding that of the outlet pipe saddle, tank structural integrity may be compromised.

SHORT AND LONG-TERM GROUNDWATER CONTROL

It may be necessary to implement groundwater control measures during tank installation. Maintain dry conditions by expanding the excavation to create a short-term groundwater collection sump for temporary placement of a dewatering pump if needed. Long-term groundwater control measures such as underdrains and interceptor trenches may be sensible if the site is amenable to construction of a control system and such systems are not prohibited by regulation or law, and the tank location is not subject to flooding. Properly installed underdrains and groundwater interceptor trenches may prevent the need for tank buoyancy control measures.

INSTALLING UNDER SHALLOW GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS

Buoyancy control measures may be required if the Infiltrator tank is to be installed with less than 12 inches (300 mm) of soil backfill cover, and where uninterrupted saturated soil conditions have the potential to rise 30 inches (750 mm) or more above the tank bottom. Otherwise, no control measures are required (see Table 1).

The need for buoyancy control measures must be determined based on backfill cover depth and height of uninterrupted saturated soil conditions above the tank bottom according to Table 1. Refer to Infiltrator IM-Series Tank Buoyancy Control Guidance document for more information.

Failure to comply with these installation instructions will invalidate the warranty. Contact Infiltrator Water Technologies’ Technical Services Department for assistance at 1-800-221-4436.
