Q. Is use of C900 pipe allowed?

A. Yes a contractor can choose to use it over HDPE piping. See Amended Scope of Work, attached.

Q. Due to the unknown connections at the valves, if the existing pipe terminates a Tee next to the valve will the repair stop at the Tee or will the Tee need to be replaced and connected to the valve as well?

A. If the water main connects to a T near the shut off valve the pipe repair will terminate at the T and not the valve.

Q. Why is cold mix asphalt specified instead of hot mix asphalt?

A. This is to save costs as the parking lot is planned to be totally repaved within the next few years.

Statement of Work – Headquarters Fire Main Repair Amended 7-8-25 (RED)

1.1 Background & Scope of Work

Joshua Tree Headquarters has an 8-inch fire main that provides fire suppression water during times of need. Recently it is believed that an earthquake ruptured the fire main after water began to seep to the surface. Flow is shutoff on to the north side of the Head Quarters compound, and on to the south side of the HQ compound. In August of 2024 it was determined the water main had sprung a leak and a repair was required. Upon excavation it was determined that the pipe was too degraded to perform standard repair techniques and the entire 100-ft section, between valves, would need to be replaced from valve to valve.

This project is to replace approximately 100 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe used to supply water to the fire suppression system for Joshua Tree National Park’s law enforcement; museum and cultural; sciences and Resources; and facilities management buildings . The section of pipe to be replaced has one 90-degree turn and shall be replaced with a section that starts from shut off valve to ending section with shut off valve, including all required fittings, adapters, couplings, etc. Contractor to dispose of all demolition material, offsite.

The contractor shall cut, remove and dispose of asphalt measuring approximately 155-square feet along with a section of 4-inch concrete sidewalk measuring 6-feet wide x 64-feet long to gain access to underground fire main. The fire main will be exposed and then repaired to allow for proper flow. Any underground concrete thrust block shall be replaced/repoured. After the fire main repair is complete the area shall be backfilled, compacted and asphalt replaced. The removed sidewalk section(s) shall be framed, poured, edge-troweled and broom finished, to match existing. Concrete shall be non-tinted.

1.2 PIPE

A. The pipe shall contain no recycled compound except that generated in the manufacturer’s own plant of same specification from the same raw material pipe.

Pressure pipe shall also conform to the applicable requirements of the associated ASTM code and AWWA standard.

B. Pipe shall be rated for 235 PSI working pressure minimum.

C. The pipe inside diameter shall not be less than the nominal diameter specified or shown.

1.2.1 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION TEST (PVT)

A. PVT Testing to be conducted in partnership with Joshua Tree National Park Engineer and/or maintenance division for visual performance test of flow and no leaks.

1.3 COMPACTION

A. Compact the top 2.5 feet of fills to minimum of 95 percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557, at plus or minus 2 percent of the optimum moisture content.

B. Compact fills below the top 2.5 feet of fills scarified ground surface to 90 percent of maximum density.

1.4 BACKFILL AND COMPACTION

A. Place bedding and backfill materials true to the lines, grades, and cross-sections excavated areas and compacted to the degree specified. Place bedding and backfill materials in horizontal lifts not to exceed 8 to 12 inches in thickness measured before compaction. The difference in level on either side of a pipe or duct shall not to exceed 4 inches.

1.5 COMMERCIAL AGGREGATE BASE COURSE

A. Class 2 Aggregate Base, 3/4-inch maximum; as per Section 26-1.02 A, CDT Standard Specifications.

1.6 BACKFILL / IMPORTED BACKFILL

A. Before placing fill, scarify ground surface to a minimum depth of 12 inches, bring to a moisture content of plus or minus 2 percent of optimum, and compact to 90 percent relative compaction to provide ample bond between old and new material.

Place embankment material in layers not exceeding 8 inches loose measurement.

Compact each layer before placing the next layer. As the compaction of each layer progresses, continually level and manipulate to ensure uniform moisture and density.

Add water to obtain optimum moisture content.

B. Clean, readily compactible non-expansive soil or soil aggregate, free of organic materials, with all particles passing a 2-inch square opening and not more than 40 percent by weight passing a No. 200 sieve, as determined by ASTM D422-63. The plasticity index shall not be greater than 12, as determined by ASTM D4318-95.

Minimum R value of 50. Use all suitable existing native backfill material before importing backfill material.

See following maps and photos this scope of work.

THERE ARE UNDERGROUND UTILITIES RUNNING PERPENDICULAR TO THE

FIRE MAIN THAT WILL NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED BEFORE EXCAVATION.

CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE ALL UTILITY LOCATES.

Part 2: Contractor Tasks & Supplies

• Excavate down to pipe to locate leak.

• Remove any thrust blocks that might be in place to conduct repair.

• Replace 100-ft of 8-inch fire main with HDPE Polyethylene.

• Restore and conduct Pressure Verification Test water flow to ensure leak is repaired.

• Replace any thrust blocks that may have been removed for leak repair.
