PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

‐After becoming familiar with all details of the work, verify all dimensions in the field, and advise the Contracting Officer of any discrepancy before performing the work.

3.2 PIPING

3.2.1 GENERAL

‐Use steel piping. Cut pipe to measurements established at the site and work into place without springing or forcing. Clear all openings and equipment, and avoid cutting or other weakening of structural members to facilitate piping installation. Remove burrs from ends of pipe by reaming. Install to permit free expansion and contraction without damage to joints or hangers and in accordance with ASME B31.1. Do not attach supports, anchors, or stays where either expansion or the weight of the pipe could cause damage to permanent construction. The method of attaching supports must not interfere with the operation of the cathodic protection system.

3.2.2 Flanged and Threaded Joints

3.2.2.1 Flanged Joints

‐Flanged joints are permitted for dielectric isolation only. Construct flanged joints to be faced true, provided with gaskets, and made perfectly square and tight. Use flanged joints only for electrical isolation and in other special cases where connected equipment is available with only flanged joints, or when specifically indicated. Provide electrically at all connections to or from the heat distribution system and between dissimilar metals.

3.2.2.2 Threaded Joints

‐Apply graphite or inert filler and oil, graphite compound, or polytetrafluoroethylene tape to the male threads only. Provide unions at all screwed valves, strainers and connections to equipment 3/4 inch and smaller. Use dielectric unions at connections of dissimilar metals in 3/4 inch and smaller piping.

When used on High Temperature Water Systems, seal weld threaded joints.

Project Title

3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

3.3.1 General

‐The Contractor shall establish and maintain quality control for work under this section to assure compliance with contract requirements and maintain records of his quality control for all construction operations including, but not limited to, the following:

b. Installation,

c. Adjustment.

‐A copy of the records of inspections and tests, as well as the records of corrective action taken, shall be furnished to the Government as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

3.4 INTERRUPTIONS IN SERVICE

3.4.1 General

‐The Contractor shall ensure that interruptions in service are kept to a minimum. Proper coordination with the COR and ABCWUA shall be provided by the Contractor of all water shut offs and disruption in service.

3.5 FINAL CLEANING

3.5.1 Interim Cleaning

‐The Contractor shall prevent the accumulation of weld rod, weld spatter, pipe cuttings and filings, gravel, cleaning rags, and other foreign material within piping sections during fabrication. The piping shall be examined to assure removal of these and other foreign objects prior to assembly and installation.

3.5.2 Flushing

‐Following assembly and testing, and prior to final acceptance, piping systems shall be flushed with water to remove accumulated construction debris and other foreign matter. The piping shall be flushed until all foreign matter is removed from the pipeline. The Contractor shall provide all hoses, temporary pipes, ditches, and other items as required to properly dispose of flushing water without damage to adjacent properties. The minimum flushing velocity shall be 2.5 fps. For large diameter pipe where it is impractical to flush the pipe at the minimum flushing velocity, the pipeline shall be cleaned in‐place from the inside by brushing and sweeping, then flushing the pipeline at a lower velocity. Cone strainers shall be installed in the flushing connections of attached equipment and left in place until cleaning is completed. Accumulated debris shall be removed through drains, or by removing spools or valves.

HHSAR 301‐602‐3 Ratification of Unauthorized Commitments: The Government is not bound by agreements with, or contractual commitments made to, prospective contractors by individuals who do not have delegated contracting authority. Unauthorized commitments do not follow the appropriate process for the expenditure of Government funds.
