B. NSBU shall accept the bypass plan prior to implementation of the bypass. Contractor will plug off and pump down the sewer manhole or line segment in the immediate work area and will maintain the wastewater system so that surcharging does not occur. A successful 2-day test period shall be performed during NSBU workdays (no weekends). If the Contractor is unable to isolate the system prior to installation of the temporary bypass connection, then a wet tap will be required at the expense of the Contractor.
C. Where work requires the line to be blocked beyond Normal Working Hours and bypass pumping is being utilized, the Contractor shall be responsible for on-site monitoring the bypass operation 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, by on-site personnel, unless otherwise specified. Additionally, back-up emergency auto-dialer installation is required.
D. During bypassing, no wastewater will be leaked, dumped, or spilled in or onto, any area outside of the existing wastewater system.
E. The Contractor shall ensure that no damage will be caused to private property as a result of bypass pumping operations. The Contractor shall complete the work as quickly as possible and satisfactorily pass all tests, inspections and repair all deficiencies prior to discontinuing bypassing operations and returning flow to the sewer manhole, line segment, or lift station.
F. The Contractor shall immediately notify NSBU should a sanitary sewer overflow occur, and the Contractor shall take the necessary action to clean up and disinfect the spillage to the satisfaction of NSBU, FDEP, and/or another governmental agencies. If sewage is spilled onto public or private property, the Contractor shall wash down, clean up and disinfect the spillage to the satisfaction of NSBU, FDEP, and/or another governmental agencies. When bypassing, complete redundancy is required. One back-up pump equal to the primary unit shall be required. Bypass pumps and motors shall have a maximum rating of 55 decibels at 20 feet for sound attenuation.
G. Contractor shall provide secure temporary fencing around all bypass pumping equipment. NSBU shall be given keys to access the bypass equipment.
