SECTION C--DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

SECTION C - Description/specifications/Statement of Work

Scope of Contract Pine Creek Work Center Water System Improvements. This project involves plumbing and valves to convert two water tanks for independent operation, installation of a pressure transducer well pump control system, a remote monitor for water tank level, reconstruction work at a well house and miscellaneous work on the distribution system. The reconstruction work at the existing well house includes increasing well casing height, routing well discharge out the top of the well instead of a pitless adapter, new above grade plumbing and valves, a concrete floor slab, electrical and new well pump controls.

Project Location

Project is located at Pine Creek Work Center approximately 18 miles East of Cougar, WA on FS Road

90. Lower Compound is located on South side of road.

7. Do not place concrete in water or allow water to rise over freshly placed concrete until a set is sufficient to prevent damage.

D. Protection from Rainfall

1. Protect flat work during periods of precipitation with adequate waterproof covering.

Support covering so that finishing may be performed and initial set obtained without damage. Dragging of tarpaulins or other covering across unset concrete will not be permitted.

E. Curing

Contractor's option, except on slabs receiving resilient floorings. Complete required surface finish prior to application of curing compound; use water curing during finishing period. Spray material to surface at the rate of 1 gallon per 300 square feet in 2 applications, resulting in a coverage of 1 gallon per 150 square feet. Apply first coat immediately after acceptance of finish. Thoroughly wet concrete with water and apply material just as surface film of water disappears. Apply second coat after first application has set. Recoat any rupture to the membrane seal immediately or use water cure method.

Samples for testing will be selected on a random sample basis in accordance with ASTM

C172. If the measured slump or air content falls outside the specified limits, a check test shall be made immediately on another portion of the same load. In the event of a second failure, the concrete shall be considered to have failed the requirements of the specification.

2. The following concrete tests will be taken:

a. Slump.

1) Testing will be in accordance with ASTM C143. If the slump is greater than the specified range, the concrete will be rejected.

b. Air Content.

1) Testing will be in accordance with ASTM C231. If the air content exceeds the specified range, the concrete will be rejected.

c. Compressive Tests.

1) Compressive test cylinders will be molded, cured, prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM C31 and ASTM C39. Cylinders will be taken for testing at 7 and 28 days.

3. Test results of cylinders tested at 28 days will form the basis for acceptance or rejection of concrete strength. Each 28 day compressive test result shall be the average of the compressive test of 2 cylinders from the same batch. No more than 2 samples from each load will be taken. The concrete strength will be evaluated in accordance with ACI

318. The strength level of the concrete will be considered satisfactory if the averages of all sets of 3 consecutive strength test results equal or exceed the required f'c and no individual strength test result falls below the required f'c by more than 500 psi.

H. As soon as forms are stripped, remove to a minimum depth of 1/4 inch, any projecting wire or metal devices used in forming. Remove fins caused by form joints. Patch all holes, depressions, small rock pockets, and form tie cones by first saturating with water and packing stiff patching grout into voids. Repair large holes, rock pockets, spalls, and honeycombs by chipping away all coarse or broken material until a dense uniform surface of concrete remains; saturate with water, apply thin layer of neat cement; pack stiff patching grout, and thoroughly tamp.
