SUMMARY OF WORK

SECTION 01 11 00 - SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Lava Beds National Monument (LABE) obtains drinking water from two water supply wells located near the park headquarters area. The original well was constructed in 1939. A second well was constructed in 2007. Upon completion of the second well, the original was abandoned, and naming convention was changed to rename the 2007 well as “Well No. 1”, when in reality it was the 2nd well at the site. Some time later the NPS was able to rehabilitee the original. Upon that rehabilitation, the 1939 well was renamed “Well No. 2”. This distinction is important as it has caused some confusion in the past. This project will focus on Well No. 1, which was constructed in 2007. Provided reference drawings may incorrectly have the names switched.

B. The well pump for Well No. 1 (2007) is nearing the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced.

The rehabilitation of Well No. 2 (1939) included new controls and telemetry. As part of the rehabilitation, provisions were included to add telemetry to Well No.1 (i.e. level transducer) at some point in the future when the well pump needed to be pulled out for maintenance and/or replacement. This project also includes the installation of a previously planned level transducer in Well No. 1.

C. Section includes the following:

1. Work Covered by Contract Documents

2. Government-Furnished Materials

3. Contractor Use of Site

4. Public Use of Site

5. Conduct of Operations

6. Work Restrictions

7. Special Construction Requirements

1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Lava Beds National Monument, California

B. The Work consists of
