1.74.23 Final Cleaning

All areas impacted by the work shall be restored to at least original condition, unless specifically identified otherwise in the plans or specifications. All costs are incidental to the project and shall be borne by the contractor.

Clean up debris and unused material and remove it from the site and any buildings. If vehicle traffic causes ruts, repair asphalt (new or existing) in paved areas. In other areas back track with dozer or excavator and repair to final surface condition including necessary hydroseed, mulch, and landscaping.

If the contract includes projects on multiple sites, and the Contractor intends to work sequentially to each site, the Contractor shall clean up the current site prior to moving onto the next. Cleanup means: stockpiles and materials shall be removed so as not to be obstructions or hazards; surfaces graded smooth as to their purpose; traffic control systems removed, and traffic restored to the satisfaction of the local road agency.

Buildings shall be broom clean and all foreign damage or markings removed or repaired.

Equipment shall be washed clean using appropriate methods.

Unpainted exposed concrete structures shall be cleaned to a consistent bare concrete surface finish. Remove extraneous substances such as efflorescence, leakage residue, and excess repair materials.

Remove existing equipment or materials identified in the contract documents or that interfere with the work. Dispose of all such existing equipment or materials unless the Owner requests items to be salvaged for their use. Owner has first right of salvage.

Should the Owner identify salvageable items of their property prior to removal, the Contractor shall protect said items from damage during the work and will be responsible for reimbursing the Owner should the Contractor damage the items.

1.75 Starting and Adjusting

1.75.16 Startup Procedures

1.75.16.10 Startup

See the Automatic Control section for control system startup.

See the Pumps section for pump system startup.

Startup shall consist of a simulated operation of all equipment and controls. The purpose of startup shall be to check that all equipment will function under operating conditions, that all interlocking controls and sequences are properly set, and that the facility will function as an operating unit.

Technically qualified factory representatives shall be present for the startup phase. All representatives shall be trained, qualified, and have experience in troubleshooting and fixing field issues. The startup shall continue until it is demonstrated that all functions, controls, and equipment are functioning correctly.

Authorized manufacturer’s representatives shall be provided for the following items:

• Pumps and motors

• Variable frequency drives

• Pilot-operated hydraulic control valves

• Telemetry Equipment

• Generator

• Inspection of removed 50 hp Vertical Turbine Pump and remaining pump can.

1.75.16.12 Startup and Testing Coordination

The Contractor shall conduct all testing and startup. Testing and startup shall not be a cause for claims for delay by the Contractor and all expenses for testing and startup shall be included in the Testing, Startup, and Training bid item.

The placing of all improvements in service shall consist of three parts: “testing”, “startup”, and “operation”. Not less than 21 calendar days before the anticipated time for beginning testing, the Contractor shall notify and submit to the Owner for approval, a complete plan for the following:

1. Schedules for tests:

A. Pumps and motors

B. Variable frequency drives

C. Motor control centers (electrician may qualify if approved by manufacturer)

D. Pilot-operated hydraulic control valves

E. Telemetry Equipment

F. Generator

Work requiring testing shall not be made inaccessible to testing during the normal sequence of work prior to testing. Timely notice to the Owner for such testing shall be provided. Should any work be covered up without notice, approval, or consent, it must, if required by the Owner, be uncovered for examination at the Contractor’s expense. All necessary equipment shall be set up and the work given a preliminary test so that defects may be discovered and repaired prior to calling out the Owner to witness the test.

Final testing shall consist of individual tests and checks made on equipment intended to provide proof of performance of unit and proper operation of unit control together with necessary tests to show system operations in the presence of the Owner. Assure proper alignment, size, condition, capability, strength, proper adjustment, lubrication, pressure, hydraulic test, leakage test, and all other tests deemed necessary by the Owner to determine that all materials and equipment are of specified quality, properly situated, anchored, and in all respects ready for use. Any certificates required in these specifications by the manufacturer’s representatives shall be supplied to the Owner prior to startup.

All piping shall be tested as required by specifications and applicable codes. Tests on individual items of equipment shall be as necessary to show proper system operation. During testing, the Contractor shall correct any defective work discovered. Startup shall not begin until all tests required by these specifications have been completed and approved by the Owner.

Not less than five (5) working days before the anticipated time for beginning the testing, the Contractor shall provide a list of representatives that will be attending the testing. The Owner may request additional representatives at no additional cost if said representatives are identified in these specifications.
