1.3 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. The work for this contract is located at Rock Creek Park along Glover and Oregon Roads which are both off of Military Road in North West, Washington DC. There are several facilities at Rock Creek Park that do not have automatic fire protection systems and lack adequate water pressure and volume for wet or dry pipe systems to operate. The buildings affected are the Public Stables, Nature Center, and Park Maintenance Facility. This work has been separated into two (2) phases. Water is supplied by DC Water, formerly known as DC WASA. DC WASA, w here indicated on the plans and specifications, refers to DC Water.

B. The Public Stables have been assessed as “highest risk”, therefore Phase I of design work shall concentrate on providing necessary water distribution system improvements to this complex of buildings. Phase II design work shall only include a lateral water line connection to the Nature Center complex. Work to the Park Maintenance Facility is not a part of this contract.

C. The work of this contract includes, but is not limited to the following work, as detailed in the specification sections and as shown on the attached drawings:

1. Installation of new fire service waterlines with appurtenances.

2. Installation of a water meter and a new vault.
