f. Project Area Considerations

A representative of the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner�s Office (WRC) is required to be present during the filming of the pre-construction video. Coordinate with the WRC Project Manager for staff assignment.

Active excavations within the roadway (defined as excavations that have not been backfilled to grade) require barricades in accordance with WRC Standard Water Main Details and General Conditions Article 14 �Protection of Work and Property� and Article 19 �Safety and Protection�.

Active excavations with workers present that restrict the roadway to one lane of two-way traffic also require traffic regulators in accordance with General Specifications Article 16 �Maintenance of Traffic�.

The General Contractor will be responsible for coordination of the activities between contractors.

g. Special Conditions � Winter Work and Temporary Pavement

Accumulated snowfall of over 3-inches must be removed from the roadway within all working areas and areas barreled/barricaded for traffic control purposes.

All HMA pavement removed between November 16th and April 30th in any given year during construction, shall be backfilled, compacted, and temporarily resurfaced with approved asphaltic patching materials (defined hereinafter as �temporary pavement�) in accordance with the detail on Sheet H. Temporary pavement shall be placed within 14 days of pavement removal from November 16th to April 30th.

Temporary pavement will be required to be maintained, to the satisfaction of the City of Pontiac and the Engineer, until a permanent pavement repair or final paving in accordance with the Local HMA Road Repair section located on Sheets I - L can be made.

Maintenance gravel is an acceptable form of temporary pavement to maintain traffic before final Temporary Pavement can be placed. Maintenance gravel may be used from May 1st through November 15th in any given year during construction only. Maintenance gravel may be used as temporary pavement for a maximum of 12 weeks from the time the pavement is removed from May 1 through November 15 only. Once the 12-week period has expired, a two-inch (min) layer of hot mixed asphalt must be used for temporary pavement at no additional cost to the Owner and regardless of time before permanent roadway rehabilitation is scheduled.

h. Special Conditions � Scheduling & Sequencing of Roadway Rehabilitation

There is over 16,000 linear feet of road right-of-way within the project area. No more than 60% of the project area will be allowed to be under �full construction� at one time unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer and Owner. �Full construction� in this context is defined as the contractor commencing water main installation activities. The intent of this sequencing requirement is to reduce the duration of construction activities for portions of the project area and to limit the time roadways within the project area are maintained with temporary pavement and maintenance gravel. The contractor shall plan to mobilize their roadway rehabilitation crews at least two (2) times between the Notice to Proceed and Substantial Completion Dates to accommodate this sequencing and scheduling.

i. Temporary Water Supply

The installation of a temporary water supply is required for the CIPP rehabilitation of the water main along Baldwin, Virgina, Home and Tregent. The temporary water supply may only be in operation between May 1st through October 1st. Prior to any temporary water setup, any new water main proposed to be completed as part of this project (except the water main being rehabilitated using the Cured-in-Place (CIPP) Method), shall be tested, connected and fully integrated into the distribution system.

HRC 4 of 6 5/22/2024

Before commencing any lining work along Virginia, the contractor shall coordinate with the local fire department to ensure that 29 W. Rundell Street will have proper fire coverage while the water main along Virginia is being rehabilitated. 29 W. Rundell Street has a 6 inch fire service off of Virginia that will be turned off due to the water main�s rehabilitation.

j. Hydrant Installation Details

Updated hydrant installation detail has been provided on Sheet C. Installations for traffic rated models require a concrete collar be installed around the riser at or near ground level.

k. Tracer Wire

An updated special provision has been added for tracer wire design, installation and testing. The special provision requires more defined connection points, grounding, termination details and more thorough testing requirements, specifically testing before and after �subsequent� work is completed to locate potential breaks in continuity.

l. Information on Sewer Laterals in the Project Area

Information on the sewer laterals in the project area has been provided on the Drawings. This information is the best data available at this time and was collected between January 2025 and April 2025. Mainline and lateral CCTV videos and mainline PACP inspection reports noting lateral locations and cursory information on the tap condition will be made available to the awarded contractor for their use during the project. Laterals that were televised were located during the televising process, marked at the surface and recorded a depth from ground surface at the marked location. The plan views and tables provided on the Sewer System Improvements Drawings incorporate, to the best of the Engineers ability, the existing lateral information as interpreted from the CCTV information provided. There will be no additional payment for the televising of sewer laterals as part of this project. All contractor driven sewer lateral televising shall be included in the cost of the project.

m. Horizontal Directional Drilling Depths (Water Main Installations)

In general, water mains shall be installed with a minimum depth of cover of six (6) feet to the top of pipe and shall not be installed at a depth greater than nine (9) feet to the top of pipe unless otherwise noted on the plans or authorized by the Owner�s field representative. Upon locating utilities along the bore path in which the depth is unknown or assumed (typically utilities with a diameter of 12-inches or less as utilities larger than that have more available as-built information), the Contractor shall record depths and make the general decision that horizontal directionally drilled water main shall go under utilities with a depth of cover at seven (7) feet or less and shall go over utilities that are greater than seven (7) feet in depth. Contractor shall work with the Owner�s field representative to modify the planned profile as necessary to accommodate the specified decision model and stay within the depth of cover limits as described.

n. Sewer Lateral Replacement

The age and condition of the sewer laterals in the project area and the impacts of exposing these laterals during the required pre-HDD exploratory excavation may be an issue during construction and is a concern. Soft excavation methods are required when exposing these sewer laterals, however, a quantity of the bid item �Remove and Replace Sewer Lateral� has been provided in the Proposal for laterals that appear to have been damaged prior to the Contractor exposing the utility. Consequently, sewer laterals damaged by careless excavation or other contractor related activities, at the discretion of the Owner�s field representative, shall not be paid for separately but shall be removed and replaced at no additional cost to the Owner.

o. Water Service Line Replacements

Ahead of this project, the WRC is completing a Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) project to replace all full LSLs (where both public and private side were lead or galvanized steel) or where the private-side only was lead or galvanized steel. All public-side only LSLs (meaning the existing private-side service line is copper or plastic) were left to be completed as part of this project. All

HRC 5 of 6 5/22/2024 full LSLRs received a new curb stop and stop box under the LSLR project. The addresses in which full LSLRs were completed will be recorded and updated on the plans sheets as �Replaced 2025�. All other public service lines will be replaced with new Type K copper tubing and a new curb stop and stop box connected to the new water main.

The addresses with full LSLRs completed will still need to be reconnected to any new water main installed (except for any CIPP lined water main). Short side connections will intercept the new copper service line and connect directly to the new main. Long side services will need to be extended to meet the new copper service line. Long side service line connections from 0� to 10� long shall connect at the location of the existing water main. Long side service line connection greater than 20� long shall be drilled beneath the road and connected to the curb stop in the opposing green belt. The connection point for long side service line connections between 10� long and 20� long shall be at the discretion of the Owner�s field representative based on field conditions, location of the exiting water main in the roadway and impediments in the opposing green belt.

p. Unanticipated Discoveries Plan

The Fairview neighborhood of the City of Pontiac sits adjacent to historical sites. Prior to the start of the project, the WRC received clearance from Michigan�s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to excavate in the Public Right of Way within the project area. However, during construction if the contractor encounters unanticipated archaeological material or human remains, they must stop work and follow the Unanticipated Discoveries Plan (UDP) document located in the attachments section of this contract. The conditions outlined in the UDP shall be reviewed prior to the start of the project and observed by the agency, municipality, project managers, those working on construction activities, heavy equipment operators, excavators, planners/designers, landscapers, and those planting or removing trees, laying or removing water lines, soil, fill, asphalt, and concrete, including during the removal and installation of sidewalks.

The Contractor shall acknowledge that they have reviewed and agree to the coordination and special conditions described in this Section by signing below.
