3.2.3 Bathrooms not requiring complete renovation

The contract includes the complete renovation of 7 bathrooms. However, the building includes a minimum of 9 additional bathrooms. These bathrooms have received some level or renovation and therefore, the contractor shall minimize the work in these areas to the items of work described herein.

The purpose of this project is to provide adequate sanitation facilities. For that reason it is imperative that the project includes the replacement of all those sewer lines not found to meet Moldovan regulations or that are defective. Therefore the contract includes replacing all metal sewer lines with new PVC gravity sewer lines, from all bathrooms to the nearest manhole outside the facility. This includes any metal sewer lines that go through the ceiling deck and into the floor.

The contract includes cleaning as necessary the sewer lines from the exterior manholes to the nearest manhole outside the plot of land of the kindergarten, or replacing those sections of sewer line found not to comply with Moldovan regulations or that cannot be repaired in case there are roots inside the sewer lines.

The contractor shall estimate that they will have to remove sewer lines in all bathrooms, with the need to destroy most of the flooring in the ground floor bathrooms in order to provide new PVC sewer lines from the plumbing appliances to the nearest manhole outside the building.

3.5 Water and Sewer outside the areas to be renovated

The general basis of design is that all renovated works shall comply with Moldovan regulations. A renovated bathroom cannot comply with latest regulations if their water lines are connected with old metal water lines or if their sewer lines are connected with metal sewer lines that are rusted and full of roots.

For that reason, the contract includes connecting the water lines of the 7 bathrooms and the 3 kitchenettes to the water meter supplying water to the kindergarten. The contract includes removing the old water lines in compliance with Moldova regulations to avoid dead end pipes.

Additionally, it includes the sewer lines from all the bathrooms (16 units) and kitchenettes (14 units) to the nearest manhole outside the plot of land. This means that the contractor shall remove all the metal sewer lines from the 16 bathrooms and 14 kitchenettes and provide new connections with the exterior manholes using PVC gravity lines, certified in Moldova to be used in gravity sewer systems. This means that the contractor shall be required to dig new channels or trenches within the ground floor of the kindergarten, in order to install the new gravity sewer/drainage lines.

The contractor is responsible to restore all flooring to original conditions.

From the nearest manhole to the first manhole outside the plot of land, the contractor shall inspect and clean or replace the sewer lines in order to verify that the sewer system complies with the regulations. It is also included the necessary potential repairs to the concrete manholes, including the repairs and internal plastering that may be required.
