About this file

This document is a comprehensive set of technical specifications for the Washington Park Utility Extension Project Part Two, specifically focusing on the Washington Park Lift Station, prepared by the City of Owosso, Michigan. The project involves the installation of a new sewage lift station and associated piping, including gravity and force main components. The specifications cover detailed technical requirements for various aspects of the project, including earthwork, concrete work, electrical systems, HVAC, natural gas piping, and packaged pump stations. The project includes a duplex submersible grinder pump station with a capacity of 14 gallons per minute, designed to handle raw, unscreened domestic sanitary sewage.

The technical specifications outline rigorous performance criteria, including specific requirements for equipment such as pumps, motors, wet wells, alarm panels, and electrical systems. The project emphasizes quality control, with extensive testing and inspection requirements for all components. The electrical systems include detailed specifications for grounding, raceways, conductors, and transfer switches. The pump station is designed to be factory-tested, with specific performance protections including low voltage monitoring, run dry protection, and high system pressure protection. The project appears to be fully funded and is part of a broader utility extension initiative for the Washington Park development in Owosso, Michigan, with a focus on comprehensive infrastructure improvement and modern utility installation standards.

Contract Documents; final acceptance will depend upon that compliance.

2. Final-But-Restricted Release: When submittals are marked "Furnish as Corrected," that part of the Work covered by the submittal may proceed, provided it complies with notation or corrections on the submittal and requirements of the Contract Documents; final acceptance will depend on that compliance.

3. Returned for Resubmittal: When submittal is marked "Rejected" or "Revise and Resubmit," do not proceed with that part of the Work covered by the submittal, including purchasing, fabrication, delivery, or other activity. Revise or prepare a new submittal in accordance with the notations; resubmit without delay. Repeat if necessary to obtain a different action mark.

a. Do not permit submittals marked "Rejected" or "Revise and Resubmit" to be used at Site, or elsewhere where Work is in progress.

4. Other Action: Where a submittal is primarily for information or record purposes, special processing or other activity, the submittal will be returned, marked "Acknowledge Receipt."

5. The approval of ENGINEER shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of responsibility for errors on

B. Dewatering Trenches and Disposal of Excess Excavated Material:

1. Pumping or draining from trench excavations shall be made on either side of the pipeline and not into the waters of the State. It shall be CONTRACTOR's responsibility to secure the necessary approval of private landowners before discharging water from the trench excavation onto private lands. Water shall be discharged in such a manner as to cause no pollution or erosion problems.

2. CONTRACTOR shall dewater to existing storm sewer systems wherever possible; method of disposal shall be approved by OWNER. All discharge from dewatering wells discharged onto the ground ahead of being piped to a natural watercourse or lake via an existing storm sewer system or by a temporary piping system shall have built at the point of entry into such storm sewer a silt retention structure.

Any eventual silt or solids retained in the area of these structures shall be removed prior to removal of the structure. At no time will silt or similar materials be permitted to filter into a lake or natural watercourse. There shall be no sidecasting of any excavated material into any waterway. Excess excavated material from stream crossings and excavation near streams shall be removed and disposed of elsewhere, and not within the floodplain.

C. Final Topography Protection: When final topography has been established, all bared soil shall be seeded, fertilized, and mulched in an effort to restore to a protected condition, except in flat, active farm fields. Critical areas shall be sodded as specified under Section 02315.

The permanent protection measures shall be in effect not more than 30 days after the earth change is completed, except at tie-in areas at both sides of the stream where temporary measures will be installed within 3 days following a pipeline crossing. Temporary measures may include a row of sandbags at the top of the bank, a row of pegged bales of straw, or an earth berm or diversion ditch. These temporary measures shall be maintained until permanent measures are installed.

2. Where construction involves placing pipes in roadways or under other impervious materials, special care shall be provided by CONTRACTOR.

Part Two – Washington Park Lift Station 015000-4

3. Provide control measures at all storm sewer catch basins by providing straw or other types of filters or construct sediment traps adjacent to inlets.

5. Provide proper downdrain structures to control increased runoff to streams and drains.

6. Stabilize the roadway as soon as possible after placement of the utility. Temporary erosion control measures shall be instituted until final paving is complete. Such measures may include a subbase surfacing application or gravel surfacing. Compaction of soil may suffice if other control measures are effected.

3.03 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. Any unforeseen situations that may be encountered during the course of construction that may cause accelerated erosion and deposition of sediment into waterways and/or lakes shall be controlled by methods that may include sediment traps, sediment basins, or holding ponds. Any slope failures or development of gullies after construction has been completed shall be corrected immediately.

B. Should the local Regulatory Agency determine at any time during construction that the construction operation is in violation of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, P.A. 451

(Act 451) of 1994 and cite OWNER, CONTRACTOR or Subcontractor shall take immediate action, as directed by OWNER, to ensure compliance with the Act.

3.04 OPERATION, TERMINATION, AND REMOVAL

A. Supervision: Enforce strict discipline in use of temporary facilities. Limit availability of temporary facilities to essential and intended uses to minimize waste and abuse.

B. Maintenance: Maintain facilities in good operating condition until removal. Protect from damage by freezing temperatures and similar elements.

1. Maintain operation of temporary enclosures, heating, cooling, humidity control, ventilation, and similar facilities on a 24-hour-day basis where required to achieve indicated results and to avoid possibility of damage.
