SCOPE OF WORK

The original main sewer line that runs along the ceiling of the lock operations building at Barkley Lock and Dam needs to be removed and replaced with updated materials and following the same path as the original pipe. The existing pipe is known to have Lead Paint and will be deconstructed and removed in a manner to disturb the lead paint as little as possible. The Contractor will recycle the deconstructed pipe in a manner that meets all federal and state laws. The contractor will replace the deconstructed sewer pipe with new sewer pipe of equal size and layout as the original. The contractor must deconstruct and replace the sewer pipe to first unions below the operations building ceiling.

Additionally, the contractor will be responsible of retrofitting the two guest bathrooms located on the outside of the lock operations building to meet the latest handicapped standards lain out in the American Disabilities Act (ADA).

The contractor will be required to do as little demolition as possible as to avoid destroying the historical significance of the bathrooms.
