The Project shall provide upgrades to site source water (SW), potable water (PW) and concentrate water (CW) piping and flow measurement infrastructure. Drawings and conceptual layout figures to be provided in Phase 2 and are cited as follows; Figure C6-2026, Figure C8-

2026, Figure C9-2026, Figure C10-2026, Figure M6-2026, and Figure M4-2026 which are provided in Section 52 00 00.

Design and Construct:

1. Yard piping and flow measurement upgrades:

Figure C6-2026, Figure C9-2026, Figure C10-2026, Figure M6-2026, and Figure

M4-2026, provided in Section 52 00 00.

b. OPTIONAL CLIN: Locate leak and replace 50-500 ft (50-ft sections priced in Price

Schedule C) of damaged Source Water Storage Tank 2 (SWST2) pipeline shown on

Figure C9-2026.

c. TP10 Flow Measurement Vault (Point C) including below grade vault, access hatch(es), power and controls, valves, piping, accessories, and three magnetic flow meters:

I, J, and K, respectively) as conveyed on Figures C9-2026, M4-2026, and M6-2026.

Cap and abandon in place unused portions of the three pipelines that connect the acid room valve manifold to the outdoor test pads and replace with a single line that connects to the associated line from the acid room. See Figures C9-2026, M4-2026, and M6-2026. Unused piping can be removed to facilitate new design.

m. Remove buried interconnections between TP 7, 8, and 9 piping and provide new isolation valves above grade on the vertical section of each test pad’s piping manifold. Cap and abandon in place or remove piping taken out of service as necessary to ensure each test pad is fed by a single pipeline that matches what is coming from the building. Provide, controls, and integration with SCADA, electrical power to flow meters, heat trace, and insulation, including duct bank and conduit as required.

n. Three (3) magnetic flow meters in the CW Vault which measure instantaneous and total CW flow to the three Evaporation Ponds (Point M, Point N, or Point O). One magnetic flow meter on the 4” Well 2/4 bypass line west of Pond 1 (Point Q). The flow meters shall provide local readout and remote readout to the existing plant

SCADA system. Provide, controls, and integration with SCADA, electrical power to flow meters and heat trace, including duct bank and conduit..

2. Installation of four concrete vaults at or near the four existing valve vaults (Pond 1, Pond

2, Pond 3, and Agriculture) to provide access to the existing flow meters which measure flow to Ponds 1-3 and Agriculture magnetic flow meters (Point P). This may include relocation of the flow meters and installing gravel at Pond 2 and the Agriculture supply vaults.

3. The contractor shall install new conduit from all new flow meter locations to the existing plant SCADA system. Controls cabling from flow meters to interface with existing

SCADA system. The Contractor shall be responsible for installing and terminating

00 00 30 - 3 controls cabling through new terminal blocks to the existing SCADA PLC within the existing Research Facility building. The contractor shall also be responsible for providing surge/transient suppression on these new cables.
