SCOPE OF WORK:

The work to be accomplished under this Contract is located at Maryland Military

Department La Plata Readiness Center, 6015 Rose Hill, La Plata MD 20646

Work consists of providing all construction, permits, labor, materials, equipment, services, supplies, miscellaneous, testing and instrumentation necessary and incidental to the completion of all work as specified herein.

a. The main purpose of this contract is to correct the existing repeated clogging in the existing sewer line.

Room handicapped stall cleanout.

c. As part of the contractor’s responsibilities, a CCTV camera system should be used throughout the entire length of the existing sewer line to find the existing condition for possible dip location.
