Additionally, the Contractor will have all necessary tools available as well as the sub-base and fill material, so that, once the water outage starts, replacement of the existing installation and assembly of the new one lasts a minimal amount of time. Water outages shall not be longer than 8 hours. At the end of each work day, the drinking water supply will be reestablished. Work will be planned in such a way that the new installation will be performed at the same time for those buildings covered by this contract which are affected by the same water outage.

7.6 Service Initiation: The pipe sections no longer part of the drinking water supply system shall be sealed off and special attention shall be given to all the components currently receiving drinking water so that they are not left without supply once the new installation has

01 11 00-12 been performed.
