The work to be performed under this construction contract consists of furnishing all labor, material, equipment, tools, quality control, supervision, transportation and associated services necessary to perform and complete the requirements herein, in strict compliance with the specifications stated below.

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This contract is for the replacement of the Area Lighting System (ALS). Work will be performed with limited interruption of the existing ALS functions and with limited interruptions of normal site operations. The objective is to place a new pole as close as possible to the wooden pole being replaced; this will allow for connecting the new pole to the same location in the ALS network. During the connection of the steel pole to the ALS, it is acceptable to remove the wood pole from the ALS to permit utilization of the existing power conductors. Once the new steel pole is connected, then the wood pole can be disposed of. Underground cabling is not required unless the contractor damages the existing underground network or other cabling. Installation is to be complete within 90 days of execution. If additional time is need due to concrete curing it will be annotated in contractor proposal. The contractor will have a fluent English speaker on site, but may have a limited level English speaker on site if a fluent English speaker is readily available by phone.

Specifications:

1. Install 18 new poles rated for local wind max gusts and continuous wind load plus 20%. Poles must also be rated for local environment conditions such as but not limited to temperature, soil conditions, solar exposure and seismic activity.

2. Top of pole, including foundations, will be minimal of 8.2m, but no more than 8.5m from ground level.

3. The new poles will allow for the attachment of the existing ALS light fixture mounting cross arm at a point

0.6m from the top of the pole. Photos of cross arm are available upon request. Note the pole mounting brace is 12.8 cm diameter.

4. New poles will be placed as close as possible to existing wood poles, but not further then 2m centered.

5. Special care to avoid underground cables or water lines will be taken. This will require use of cable and or metal detection equipment.

6. In the case that the existing underground cabling is damaged by the contractor, the contractor will repair it by way of proper COR-approved splicing techniques.

7. The bond between the new steel pole and the existing grounding grid will be exothermically welded or bolted using appropriate bolts, clamps and or terminations that are required for connections between the copper ground cables. If mechanical bonding is used it must be exposed so that it may be inspected by the government.

8. Once the replacement pole is connected to the ALS grid the old wood pole will be removed.

9. Old wood poles can be ether cut off at ground level or pulled from ground if done so without effecting surrounding facilities or underground cables or pipes. Any damages and or filling/compacting of holes will be the responsibility of contractor.

10. Disposal of old wool poles will be the responsibility of contractor.

11. Steel poles and all mounting hardware will be corrosion resistant and or will be treated with appropriate corrosion inhibitors. Ground bonds will not be painted, but will be treated if need be.

12. Base/Foundation design and or materials. The base or foundation must be able to support pole or tower and be able to be inspected in that catastrophic failure or deterioration of pole can be identified and or mitigated.
