This Statement of Work is not meant to be an all inclusive to do list for the project, but a list of the main items involved in the project. The contractor can use this list to assist him with the cost estimate for the project. The contractor will provide all technical support, materials, tools, equipment, and manpower to demolish all the structures and associated utilities or appurtenances in this Scope of Work. The contractor must perform within accordance to the Specifications which are stated within this Scope of Work. The major project components are listed below but are not limited to the following:

5.1 Furnish all labor, material, and equipment necessary and required to perform the complete demolition, removal, and disposal of all structures identified in this scope of work. Any brush clearing to obtain access to any structures will be kept to a minimum and will be limited to 15 ft around the perimeter of any structure. Any brush removal, matting for equipment, or additional work to obtain safe access to the any structure scheduled for complete demolition is included within this project. All demolition site debris must be removed. No burying or abandoning in place any portions of the tank, tower, pumphouse, lifts stations, shacks, or any associated building materials in this scope of work. Ground pipes must be removed to at least 3 feet below the surface.

5.2 No explosives may be used to demolish the tower or any other structures in the project. The contractor may use man lifts, telescopic booms, scaffolding, excavators, or other similar tools to remove the top of the tower or the large above ground tank.

Other alternatives are possibly acceptable, and your proposed alternative methods shall be discussed clearly in the safety plan.

5.3 Upon completion, all disturbed areas must be restored which may include but not limited to backfilling, leveling, and reseeding all disturbed areas. All debris on the ground must be picked up. No debris larger than a quarter should be left behind or on the ground. If paint chips fall off the tower or any structure during demolition, they must be cleaned up.

5.4 Provide hydroseeding to the disturbed areas, including and ruts or other disturbance created by demolition work. Fill ruts or low areas with suitable material. Continue to water the grass until 75% of the area has seeded and growing.

a. Seed shall be suitable for the following:

i. Mostly shade location,

ii. Residential lawn,

iii. Mowing operations with hand operated push or riding mowers,

iv. Sandy soils,

v. Septic Field coverage (roots that do not grow deeper than 24 inches),

vi. No weeds (dandelion, Bahia, and pennywort),

vii. No exotic species.

b. Hydroseed. Add a cover crop of grain rye at 30 lbs./acre. Rake broadcasted seed mix into the soil and saturate with water 2 – 3 times per day for 7 days, Demolish Utility Infrastructure, Buxton NC Page 15 or until 75% of the area has seeds germinated and growing at least 1 inch high. Hydroseeded area may be observed for 7 days or until 75% of the area has growing seeds. If after 7 days, the area is less than 75% covered with new growth, overseed again and water 2-3 times per day until 75% of the ground is covered with growth.
