Question – Replace Hydrants

Q1 When is this work slated to start? (there is a 3-4 week lead time on the Kupferle hydrant) Work would be expected to begin as soon as possible. Once award occurs the NTP will be given based on expected lead times.

Q2 Is the existing Main Line feeding the hydrant valve and assembly able to be shut down for safety purposes?

(A hydrant can not safely be removed without knowing if the main feeding the hydrant line is operational due to head pressure) Yes, the main can be isolated for periods of time to be determined/scheduled with the KO prior to start of construction.

Q3 Is there a distance between the existing main line and the location of the proposed hydrant assemblies?

(This is needed so we can provide the correct amount of pipe between the main and hydrant locations) Please see plan
