SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

This project consists of the relocation of portions of the existing water and force main along

Tilden Road and at the intersection of Tilden Road and Tiny Road as follows: Abandon in place approximately 577 lineal feet of existing 16-inch HDPE water main; removal of approximately 93 lineal feet of existing 16-inch water main; installation of approximately

736 lineal feet of 12-inch water main; removal of two fire hydrants; furnish and installation of two new fire hydrant assemblies along with approximately 43 lineal feet of 6-inch water main; removal of approximately 20 lineal feet of existing 4-inch force main; installation of approximately 44 lineal feet of 4-inch force main; removal of an existing 2-inch force main air release valve, and installation of one new offset 2-inch force main air release valve at the intersection of Tilden Road and Tiny Road will be required. The proposed improvements reroute these utilities around conflicting structures and sidewalks depicted in roadway plans for the intersection provided by Florida Engineering Group.

The work associated with this project involves active water mains and force mains that are within the Rights-Of-Way of Orange County. All work activities shall be required to be in accordance with the permits issued by the respective agencies. All work performed will be required to be done while maintaining the functional operation of the utility lines.

B. The contractor is required to submit a detailed written plan to construct the improvements and accomplish the design intent, OCU and the Engineer will review and approve the proposed plan. The Work consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials for the construction of the facilities as shown on the Drawings and specified herein consisting of, but not limited to the improvements to the County’s water distribution and wastewater transmission systems. The Work generally includes but is not limited to the following:

1. Excavation, backfill and compaction for underground utilities.

2. Relocation of a water main and force main systems via open cut installations.

3. Temporary by-pass operations to facilitate transfer of existing surrounding water and force main systems to the new systems.

4. Pavement removal and replacement, milling and resurfacing and roadway striping.

5. Testing of installed systems

6. Restoration and site clean-up

7. Coordination with the construction of the new Tilden Road and Tiny Road intersection improvements.

C. Each work area will also include appropriate and/or coordinated MOT and the removal and replacement of sod and asphalt pavement as shown on the plans. As each section is completed it shall be flushed, pressure tested, as-built, and cleared in accordance with the project specifications and the requirements of the County and FDEP.
