I. OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND

The Tonto National Forest - Tonto Basin Ranger District - plans to repair leaks in its drinking water network. The main objective of the project is to eliminate the known leaks, make the water network more efficient, and anticipate upcoming leak repairs that will be covered by contract modification. At the end of the project, the contractor shall provide as-built drawings of the project to the Forest Service.

The successful contractor, in addition to fixing the current issues, shall be responsible for repairing future leaks over a period of a one (1) year. There are two parts to the project:

a) The first part, called Base Bid, shall repair the known leaks that are defined in the Schedule of Items (SOI). From the Schedule of Items, those works are listed as Line-Item numbers from a to f.

b) The second part, called Option Line Items, deals with any issues the water network may have in the future. The contractor shall receive a modification detailing the requested work, and the cost shall be based on the contractor’s offer. The Schedule of Items for these works are listed as Option Line Items and are Line-Items g to k.

✓ Many of the leaks are noticed on the secondary pipes that feed 1 or 2” inch hydrant. The forest Service plans to relocate the hydrants to the main pipes by abandoning the leak pipes. The hydrants shall be furnished by the Forest Service.

✓ Some of the leaks shall be repaired under the asphalt of the loops. After backfilling the trench in accordance with the FP14 specification, the contractor must place new asphalt over the cut portion and make necessary adjustments to return the loop to its original shape.

✓ Replace an 80 feet iron pipe with a Schedule 40 PVC pipe.

✓ Install two priority valves

✓ Add pressure reduction valve

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, and materials to accomplish the project. The contractor is responsible for the supervision, incidentals, and services required to perform the work in strict accordance with the applicable codes and requirements and the contract document. The contractor shall also verify pipe sizing and pipe material to ensure proper materials are ordered and installed.

Install pressure reduction valve.

g) Contingency line item for other leaks.

h) Install a pressure reduction valve for Cholla Campground

i) Future work on non-specific sites

IV. LINE-ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

BASE BID

a) Mobilization

This work involves moving personnel, equipment, materials, and incidentals to the project and performing necessary work before beginning work at the site. It also includes obtaining permits, insurance, and bonds.

b) Relocation of Hydrants at Teddy Bear and Christmas Loops

At the Teddy Bear and Christmas loops located at Cholla Campground, the contractor shall remove the hydrants from their current location and install them on the water main pipes that feed the loop. (see Drawing # 1)

The hydrants shall be placed perpendicularly at 6 feet from the loop water main lines. The water branches that were feeding the hydrants shall be abandoned in place. All work needed to reposition the 2 hydrants are considered incidental to the line Item CLIN 002.

c) Leak Repair under pavement at Chipmunk and Grapevine Goose Loops

The contractor shall repair the leak located under the loop’s pavement. These leaks shall be repaired in place by cutting the asphalt with appropriate tools, digging to the pipe, fixing the leak, back filling the trench, and replacing a new asphalt layer. The pipe diameter is supposed to be 2 inches PVC. It is recommended that the contractor conducts necessary investigations by digging and finding the pipe in order to get the appropriate material for the leak repair. (see Drawing # 2 & 3)

At Grapevine Goose, the leak is located almost under a transformer. Before starting any work on that site to repair the leak, the contractor shall contact Arizona 811 (www.arizona811.com) to investigate and mark the location of underground utilities. The contractor remains responsible for the safe conduct of the project and shall take appropriate measures to prevent damage and ensure safety.

d) Leak repair and water pipe replacement at Burnt Corral Campground

Burnt Corral Campground, the leak is located on ¾” PVC connected to the hydrant and no asphalt work is necessary. In addition to repairing the leak, the contractor shall replace the connecting iron pipe (100 feet) with a Schedule of 40 PVC. The contractor shall coordinate with the COR (Contracting Officer's Representative) to figure out the specific pipe that needs to be replaced. (see Drawing # 4) http://www.arizona811.com/

e) Installation of a priority valve and a reduction valve at Grapevine Group

Campground

To reduce the high-water pressure at Grapevine Group site, the contractor shall install a priority valve in a location designated by the COR.
