GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

BRIDGEPORT SEWER REPLACEMENT PROJECT

1.1 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

A. This project includes reconstructing the entire onsite wastewater system for a Forest Service administrative site. The site is primarily employee housing and includes both single family homes, bunkhouses and RV pads.

B. The work includes:

1. Installing new sewerlines, cleanouts, manholes and RV sewer connections.

2. Installing new septic tanks and absorption fields.

3. Installing a new packaged effluent lift station

4. Installing a new aggregate access road.

5. Removing an existing packaged sewage treatment system and steel building.

6. Removing existing sewer system components, including manholes, cleanouts, and holding tanks.

7. Repairing existing aggregate roadways.

1.2 PROJECT LOCATION

A. The project is located in the Bridgeport Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Mono County, California, in Section 23, T 5 N, R 24 E. It is located approximately 4 miles west of Bridgeport, California, at the Bridgeport Ranger District Administration Site. The project may be accessed from US Highway 395.

1.3 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS AND WEATHER

A. The elevation of the site is approximately 6575 feet above mean sea level. The construction site experiences typical weather for valleys in the high desert along the east side of the Sierra Nevada range. Moderate snowfall and extremely cold temperatures occur during the winter months. The ground is typically snow-free from April through October though isolated snowfall could occur most any month other than July and August. Summer temperatures rarely exceed 95 degrees, and daytime winter highs can stay below 0 degrees.

B. In-depth soil surveys have not been performed with the exception of test pits located at the leach field location. Rocks at the ground surface, and from past excavation work, are evident throughout the area. The Contractor should expect to encounter large rocks during excavation and grubbing operations, but not bedrock. Blasting of rocks will not be permitted without special permission.

ATTACHMENT #1 1240LR21R0007

3. For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.

4. For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, piping, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

5. For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided for.

6. For standard manufactured items (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be accepted.

B. Earthwork Tolerances - Adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment, within the tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet shall be made by the contractor as necessary to produce the designed sections and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes."

A. One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is designated on the Schedule of Items for each pay item:

1. ACTUAL QUANTITIES (AQ) - These quantities are determined from actual measurements of completed work.

2. DESIGNED QUANTITIES (DQ) - These quantities denote the final number or units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original design data available prior to advertising the project. Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units shown in the Schedule of Items may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

a. As a result of changes in the work authorized by the CO.

b. As a result of the CO determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

c. As a result of the Contractor submitting to the CO a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

3. LUMP SUM QUANTITIES (LSQ) - These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They shall not be measured.
