Summary: Technical Specifications for Tooele County Landscape Redesign Phase I
This document comprises comprehensive technical specifications prepared by Great Basin Engineering, Inc. for Tooele County's Landscape Redesign Phase I project in Ogden, Utah, dated May 18, 2023. The specifications detail all requirements for a complete landscape renovation project including selective site and structure demolition, electrical systems installation, site clearing and grading, concrete paving, irrigation system installation, and landscape planting. The project encompasses multiple divisions of work: demolition of selected buildings and site elements; installation of electrical infrastructure including conduit, wiring, lighting fixtures, and controls; earthwork and site preparation; concrete pavement for driveways, parking lots, walkways, and curbs; a complete irrigation system with valves, piping, sprinkler heads, and automated controls; and new landscape planting with specified plant materials, topsoil amendments, and establishment period maintenance. The specifications require compliance with the National Electrical Code, International Building Code, American Society for Testing and Materials standards, and local ordinances. All work must be performed by qualified contractors with minimum five years of experience on similar projects, and submittals including shop drawings, product data, and test reports must be provided for approval prior to installation.
Pricing and contract terms are not specified in these technical specifications, as they function as the detailed design and construction requirements document rather than the procurement solicitation itself. The document establishes quality assurance requirements including independent testing agencies for concrete and soil materials, mandatory pre-installation conferences, and comprehensive field quality control testing. The project includes a one-year warranty period for all installed work, with contractors responsible for replacing defective materials and correcting workmanship defects. Contractors are required to provide extra materials including spare sprinkler heads, quick couplers, valve keys, and irrigation tubing. The specifications require detailed record drawings and operation and maintenance manuals to be submitted at substantial completion. Landscape establishment includes a three-month maintenance period with specific watering, mowing, fertilizing, and plant replacement requirements, with all costs for maintenance and replacements included in the contract price.
