PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DEWATERING

Provide materials, equipment, and labor to install and maintain pumps, piping, drains, well points, wells, and other facilities required to effectively control, collect, and dispose of groundwater to permit safe and proper completions of the work. Use appropriate equipment and methods for dewatering based on existing site conditions. In addition to the dewatering requirements herein, the Contractor must assume that the control tower excavation and the stilling basin/apron excavation will be flooded by high water on two occasions each and require full dewatering of the entire excavated area. This dewatering is directly related to high water and not any failure of the dewatering systems themselves or failure of the contractor to properly dewater and maintain the initial dewatering.

1.1.1 Measurement and Payment

1.1.1.1 CONTROL OF WATER AND DEWATERING

1.1.1.2 Payment

All incidental costs associated with the performance of work in this section are included in the contract price. Include the cost of all necessary equipment, tools, material, labor, testing, and supervision required to maintain dewatered working conditions for the control tower cofferdam and grouting construction, control tower excavation and construction, tunnel excavation and construction, stilling basin/apron excavation and construction, new and existing stilling basin dewatering, maintaining excavations in a dewatered state, and dewatering necessary for common excavation including construction of footings and to prevent water from ponding on site as required in the specifications. This includes the downstream dewatering system indicated in the Contract Drawings and provisions for dewatering flooded excavations. This item includes but is nto limited to all costs associated with equipment, well drilling, piezometer installation, and other requirement contained herein, shown on the Contract Drawings, and included in the Contractor's Water Control Plan submittals. Government will make no additional separate payment for items included herein or by reference.
