PROJECT MUHJ 06-4088

LANGLEY AFB, VA

April 23, 2010

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Several years ago, LAFB installed an 8” diameter PVC water main on a portion of the base among a number of existing buildings along the north side of Sweeney Blvd to improve water pressures and water system reliability. The new main was intended to replace an older existing 8” diameter cast iron water main, which will eventually be taken out of service. At the time that the new PVC water main was installed, the existing water service lines to the buildings in that area were not disconnected from the “old main” and connected to the “new main”. Over the past few years, as the need arose, some of these buildings have been reconnected to the PVC water main, but 23 buildings remain connected to the old main, and this project is intended to complete the water service tie ins to the new main, so that the cast iron main can be taken out of service. Some of the existing water service lines are galvanized and some are copper, of varying sizes.

The intent of this project is to replace all existing galvanized water service lines, and extend copper water service lines (for services 2” and less- and PVC Sch 80 piping for services lines greater than 2” up to 4”), from 23 buildings along the north side of Sweeney Blvd, between Elm Street and Nealy Avenue, including the disconnection of the existing water service lines from the existing cast iron water main and connection of the new or extended water service lines to the PVC water main. Also, the work includes the installation/tie in of up to 400 linear feet of new 8” diameter PVC water main , and the removal/replacement of six (6) fire hydrants, and the removal/capping of sixteen (16) fire hydrants, located throughout the project area, all as shown on the design drawings.

2.0 WATER SYSTEM DESIGN BASIS

Service Lines

Most of the existing water services to these buildings are copper lines, and in this case, the contractor shall disconnect the service from the cast iron main, cap the service at the old main, and connect by sleeving to the end of the existing copper line and extend the same diameter copper line up to the new main, and connect by wet tap to that main, along with installing a water cut off valve where the line connects to the PVC water main.

In some cases, the new PVC main is closer to the building than the older CI main, in which case the contactor shall cut the copper line adjacent to the new main, install a water valve and wet tap the new main. The contractor shall also cut/cap/abandon the segment of existing water service line between the new and old water mains.

PROJECT MUHJ 06-4088

LANGLEY AFB, VA

April 23, 2010

For those buildings having galvanized water service lines, the contractor shall cut the galvanized line approximately two feet outside the building and extend a new copper line to the PVC water main and connect by wet tap to that main. The contractor shall also disconnect/cap the galvanized service at the old main.

Most of the new services will be installed in grassy areas, which shall be restored with select material, a 4 “depth of topsoil, and hydroseeding. Some of the new service installations will require boring under roadways, driveways or parking lots. Where open cutting of the pavement is necessary, the trench shall be sawcut, and the pavement/curbing shall be restored to an equivalent thickness, using select material and similar pavement to match existing conditions.

In some cases as noted on the plans, the new water service line is to be extended into the mechanical room of the building by excavation through/under the foundation and up through the floor slab into the mechanical space, and to then be connected to the existing building service at a suitable location in the mechanical room. The repairs to the building slabs shall include vapor protection, welded wire fabric and an equivalent thickness of concrete, with appropriate finish work to match the existing floor slab.

Fire Lines

In some cases, as noted on the plans, there is a need to disconnect fire lines from the cast iron main and to extend and connect these lines to the PVC water main. This work shall include restoration of the grassy and paved areas, and curbs as required, in accordance with the service line installation restoration described above.

Main Lines

Up to 400’ of 8” PVC water main ( of which 115’ is shown as a bid option) shall be installed, most of which is near Building 333 , and connected to the ends of two existing PVC water mains, in order to improve system pressure and to eliminate two dead end lines. Restoration of all disturbed areas shall be in accordance with the service line restoration described above

Fire Hydrants

In locations at noted on the plans, 6 fire hydrants are to be replaced with a Mueller “Super Centurion” Hydrant, or Kennedy “ Guardian” K81D or approved equal, including all appurtenances and thrust blocking.

Also, 16 fire hydrants shall be removed and the remaining line shall be capped at the existing gate valve, and the area backfilled and restored, per the plan detail. Some of the hydrants are located in grassy areas, and some are located in concrete or asphalt pavement areas. In the latter cases, the pavement thickness is unknown, but the contractor shall saw cut the existing pavement and shall match the existing pavement thickness, unless otherwise directed by LAFB inspection personnel.

All water service tie ins/ interruptions shall be closely coordinate with LAFB personnel so as to minimize disruption to the building occupants.

3.0 EXISTING UTILITIES

Existing utilities are depicted on the plans to the extent identified by Miss Utility and by LAFB staff. However, no representations are made as to the accuracy of this information. In addition, test hole information has been obtained at various locations within the project area to more accurately locate utilities and to determine water service line material/sizing, and this information is noted on the plans.

4.0 CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

It is the owner’s intent to obtain the highest quality installation as possible at the lowest possible cost, within the amount of available funds for the project. As such, this solicitation includes construction options at several of the buildings as noted on the plans..
