Repair HTHW Sump Pumps

Opportunity #1123678

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 01 00 00 - 1

SECTION 01 00 00

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY OF WORK

A. Project titled: “Repair HTHW Sump Pumps, Project #1123678" consists of life-cycle upgrades to the existing sump pump systems, which are failing under extreme operating environmental conditions. The HTHW system sump pumps remove incidental water that enters the buried distribution utility tunnels and collects at low points around the system. These low points occur at this project’s sump basins as well as at valve stations, where water collected is pumped out to the storm drain system. This project will remove all existing equipment from existing sump basins and replace with new. This includes replacing the existing pumps with high temperature rated models, a new level detection system, new system controls, control enclosures, and new low-voltage electrical power feeds to the individual sump pump sites.

1.2 UTILITIES

A. All reasonable quantities of utilities will be made available from existing utilities to the Contractor without charge. Any temporary connection or lines that may be required will be installed, maintained, and removed by the Contractor at his own expense and in such a manner satisfactory to the Contracting Officer. Removal of such connections or lines will be accomplished prior to final acceptance of the construction. The Contractor shall provide any necessary portable power.

1.3 SAFETY

A. The Contractor shall comply with all existing Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) standards of safety at all times in the performance of this contract.

Hazards to the safe use of the premises due to the Contractor’s work and/or equipment shall be suitably marked at all times. Pedestrian and vehicle traffic ways shall be kept clear and unobstructed.

B. The HTHW manholes where the sump pumps are currently installed are Confined Spaces. As such, the Contractor is responsible for compliance with OSHA

1910.146 Permit-required confined spaces to include air sampling and monitoring, which will NOT be provided by MAFB personnel in support of this work. Coordinate commencement of confirmed space entrances with the MAFB Construction Inspector 14 days prior to the start of work.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

Not applicable.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 01 00 00 - 2

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSPECTION

A. There will be one primary Contracting Officer's Representative assigned to inspect for compliance.
