Summary
This document is a Technical Specifications package for Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) for Repump Station No. 8310 Upgrades and Improvements (WUD 18-064), prepared by Mathews Consulting and Baxter & Woodman, Inc. The project involves the demolition of an existing re-pump pumping station and construction of a new replacement facility, including auger cast pile supported concrete equipment pads, a pole barn, retaining wall, mechanical and electrical equipment, and site improvements. The scope includes furnishing and installation of a new Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) with antenna tower structures, redundant suction and discharge pressure transmitters, relocation of existing flow meters, installation of instrumentation surge suppressors, and comprehensive control system integration. The project requires the contractor to coordinate with the County's programmer for PLC programming and provide as-built documentation in International Society of Automation (ISA) standard format. The specifications detail requirements across 47 specification divisions covering concrete, metals, electrical systems, protective coatings, and instrumentation components necessary for a complete, operable booster pumping system.
Payment for the project is structured as a lump-sum contract with unit prices for various pay items as detailed in the Schedule of Values and Measurement and Payment sections. The contractor must provide detailed cost breakdowns for mobilization (not to exceed 8 percent of total contract price), NPDES permit compliance, trench safety measures, dewatering operations, site work, demolition, mechanical/structural/electrical/instrumentation improvements, protective coatings, and as-built record drawings. The contract includes multiple allowances totaling approximately $100,000 for site work, utility relocation, permit fees, and miscellaneous instrumentation changes. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, permits (City of South Bay Building Permit, South Florida Water Management District Dewatering Permit), testing services, temporary facilities, site restoration, and closeout documentation. Work must be performed while the existing pumping station remains operational with no interruption to Belle Glade Wastewater Treatment Plant flow, with site access limited to 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and maximum outage duration of 2 hours unless bypass pumping is provided. The project requires extensive coordination with PBCWUD personnel, submission of detailed construction schedules using Primavera P6 software, comprehensive submittal procedures including shop drawings and technical manuals, and a one-year warranty period commencing upon substantial completion.
