1.1.1. General Work Requirements

Furnish all labor, tools, equipment, and materials for a new potable water connection.

The Base Bid work generally includes, but is not limited to, the following:

A. Contractor will replace inground 2.5-inch valve (Figure 1) that connects city water to current underground piping for potable water hookups. Replacement 2.5-inch valve (Figure 2) is already purchased by unit and is in inventory.

Contractor will remove and replace all PVC piping aŌer the valve. There are approximately 25 feet of below ground piping between the valve and where it reaches the surface near the wooden fence.

B. Contractor will remove and replace 2.5-inch 80 Schedule PVC piping that connects 2.5-inch inground valve to potable water hookups. There are approximately 65 feet of piping from valve that comes above ground and runs across wooden railing towards the tramway (Figure 3). The piping then reduces to 2.0 inch and runs underneath the tramway and down approximately 88 feet (Figure 4). Contractor will add a reducer from 2.5 inch to 2.0-inch 80 Schedule for the PVC that will run underneath the tramway.

C. Contractor will have two secƟons of piping that tee off from the 2-inch PVC piping under the tramway and reduce to 1.5-inch 80 schedule PVC piping. The 1.5-inch Piping will come around the side of the tram and serve as access to the potable water hookup. The hookups will have a bleed valve on one side and a cut off valve on the other side with a 1.5-inch NH thread adapter to act as the potable water hook up locaƟon. The NH thread will be facing down towards the boƩom of the tramway, and the bleed valve will be facing up.

These hook up locaƟons will be approximately located next to the two highest pins next to the tram, 87 feet apart.

D. Contractor will need to coordinate with the city water company for shutoff and turn back on. Potable water shall not be shut off to the building longer than the workday.
