SPECIFIC SERVICE TASKS

5. SPECIFIC TASKS:

5.1 Basic Services - General: This Contract consists of providing services to clean and inspect the drainage system pipes below the spillway approach slab, ogee weir and chute slab paving and behind the chut walls at Chatfield Dam. The Contractor shall first clean all drainage pipes by hydro-flushing, then shall perform and digitally record a visual inspection of all pipes with remote-operated camera equipment and shall also document the condition of all pipes that are cleaned and inspected. A detailed formal report shall be produced to thoroughly document the condition of the drainage system.

The total length of pipe to be cleaned and inspected is approximately 8,945 lineal feet.

The diameter of pipes to be cleaned and inspected range from 3 to 12 inches. Pipe materials for the pipe to be inspected are solid and perforated PVC, solid and perforated vitrified clay, solid asbestos cement, and solid CMP pipe. Tables 5.1 through 5.6 (Exhibit 3) contain an inventory of all drainage pipes for the spillway structure. All cleaning and inspections shall be inclusive of the full pipe length between the ends of the pipes identified in this inventory.

Deliverables from this work will include external hard drives containing the camera inspection footage and a report that summarizes the procedures and findings of all cleaning and inspection, including individual inspection logs which summarize the condition each inspected segment and documents the location of any significant observation.

All individual drainage systems for the spillway structure are shown in plan view on Sheet C-103. The pipes to be cleaned and inspected under this Contract are shown in plan view on Sheets C-104 through C-108. As-built (record) plans, sections, elevations, and details for the individual drainage systems are provided on For Information Only Sheets FIO-1 through FIO-5.

A summary of the work to be performed under this Contract is listed below.

BASE CONTRACT – Clean and Inspect 8,945 lineal feet of spillway drainage pipe system, including approach slab drain and collectors, gallery drains and outlets, slab drains, foundation drain collectors, slab foundation drains, and wall drains as described in Tables 5.2 through 5.6 (Exhibit 3).

Site-specific task descriptions, requirements, and other pertinent information for the cleaning and inspection work for each drainage system discussed above are provided in Paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3. Additional requirements for cleaning and inspection are provided in Paragraphs 5.3 through 5.8.

5.2 BASE CONTRACT -- Clean and Inspect Spillway Drainage Pipe System (8,945 lineal feet total): This work consists of cleaning, performing a remote camera inspection, and documenting the condition of a total of 8,945 lineal feet of drainage pipe ranging in diameter between 3” to 12” and including the following material types: solid and perforated VCP, solid and perforated PVC, solid asbestos cement pipe, and solid CMP. There is a total of 8,495 lineal feet of pipe to be cleaned and inspected.

The pipes to be cleaned and inspected in the Base Contract are shown in plan view on Sheets C-104 through C-108. As-built (record) plans, sections, elevations, and details for slab frost blanket drains the individual drainage systems are shown on For

Information Only Sheets FIO-4 and FIO-5. Pipe segment names, access locations, beginning and ending information, pipe material types, pipe diameter and segment lengths are summarized in Tables 5.2 through 5.6 in Exhibit 3. The cleaning and inspections for the Base Contract shall be inclusive of the full pipe length between the ends of the pipe identified in Tables 5.2 through 5.6.

It shall be assumed that all pipes filled up to 25% with sediment and require hydro-flushing for a complete and thorough inspection. All materials flushed from the drains must be captured and removed from the spillway slab and/or access manholes. The Contractor’s work plan shall include their method to prevent sediments from washing into downstream legs of the drainage system that are not scheduled for inspection.

Disposal of the sediments is the responsibility of the Contractor and all sediments removed will need to be disposed of offsite.

General cleaning (hydro-flushing) requirements for the drains shall be as specified in paragraph 5.3. Downhole camera inspection and reporting requirements for the drains shall be as specified in paragraph 5.4.

5.3 Cleaning Requirements for Drains and Collector Pipes: All cleaning, cleaning equipment and cleaning procedures for this Contract shall conform to this PWS.

Cleaning generally consists of thoroughly cleaning pipe segments by hydro-flushing or other approved mechanical means to enable the visual inspection of clean pipes with remote operated camera equipment.

Care should be taken during hydro-flushing operations to avoid damaging the existing drainage and collector pipes and from washing sediments into adjacent drain systems.

The Contractors work plan shall identify the method to limit/minimize damage to the pipes and the amount of sediment from entering these pipes.

It is estimated that up to 25 cubic yards of material may be removed from the pipe and disposed of offsite or in the spoil area as directed by the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor can expect accumulated soft and hard packed sediments in the pipes up to a 25% of the pipe volume. The pipe will be flushed clean with water, brushes, or other approved mechanical equipment to facilitate a thorough inspection. It is noted that there is a system drainage pipes that discharge into the collector pipe at various locations along the main section of the pipe. Details of these features are provided on Sheet C- 103.

Inflatable down-hole packers similar to those used in the well industry shall be installed in drainage manholes and pipes not being cleaned during cleaning operations as necessary to prevent sediment from fouling these pipes with sediment. Sandbags or other devices may also be used as necessary to prevent flush water and/or sediment from entering toe drain system. The Contracting Officer shall be notified immediately if any portion of pipe segment cannot be inspected. Payment will not be made for uninspected pipes.

All materials flushed from the pipes must be captured and removed. All removal operations shall be contained or controlled so as to prevent the release of solids into Chatfield Lake, South Platte River, or other adjacent drainageways.

DISPOSAL OF SEDIMENT/CARE OF FLUSH WATER

All water and materials flushed from the spillway sub-surface drainage system must be captured and removed. All removal operations shall be contained or controlled so as to prevent the release of solids into Chatfield Lake, South Platte River, or other adjacent drainageways. Discharge of flush water shall be contained or controlled to prevent the release of solids into Chatfield Lake or adjacent drainageways. Full responsibility for control of sediment and flush water shall be borne by the Contractor until completion of the work. Cofferdams, detention ponds, settling basins, sumps, pumps, piping and all other means shall be utilized by the Contractor as necessary to capture and control sediment and flush water. The Contractor shall make his own investigation and determination of existing and anticipated conditions with regard to the care of sediment and flush water during this Contract.

Sediment removed from the pipes shall be containerized, settled out, and hauled offsite.

The spoil area may be used for spoiling this material subject to approval of the work plan and the Contracting Officer
