SCOPE OF WORK, DRAWINGS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Work shall be carried out by zones and shall include the following items:

a. Demolish existing underground pipe, manholes, valves, valve boxes, backflow preventers, water meters, fire hydrants, air relief valves and other existing elements and accessories, as indicated in the drawings. Those pipe sections that are no longer part of the potable water distribution system shall be capped.

b. Furnish and install underground pipe, valves, valve boxes, “T” connections, backflow preventers, water flow meters, fire hydrants, and related elements and accessories, as indicated in the drawings.

c. Paint new barrel type hydrants, including hydrant number. Install bollards around the new barrel type fire hydrants. Disassemble the existing 4 ½” quick connectors in the barrel type hydrants to demolish and reinstall them in the new barrel type fire hydrants. Furnish and install similar 4 ½” quick connectors for the new hydrants, if necessary. Perform flow test in each hydrant (said tests will be performed by the Government, but the Contractor will be present during the test performance).

d. Perform directional boring for the passage of new water piping below pavements, as indicated on the drawings. The drill opening will be protected by high density PN10 polyethylene jacket with an interior diameter big enough to easily introduce the new pipe including its electro-welded fittings.

e. Repair elements affected by project execution (pavement, topsoil, vegetation, sidewalks, etc.). The finish will be similar to the adjacent finish.

f. Perform a leak detection survey to include the new water system installed, as well as the existing pipes that are fed from the new system and supply water to the buildings located inside the areas shown on the drawings as Zona A and B.

g. GPS topographic study.

h. General cleaning of the work site.

01 11 00-2
