F. Intent:

1. All work called for in the Specifications applicable to this Contract, but not shown on the Drawings in their present form, or vice versa, shall be of like effect as if shown or mentioned in both. Work not specified in either the Drawings or in the Specifications, but involved in carrying out their intent or in the complete and proper execution of the work, is required and shall be performed by the Contractor as though it were specifically delineated or described.

2. The apparent silence of the Specifications as to any detail, or the apparent omission from them of a detailed description concerning any work to be done and materials to be furnished, shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only material and workmanship of the best quality is to be used, and interpretation of these Specifications shall be made upon that basis. In the event of inconsistencies in the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications, the more expensive will be required.

1.03 MATERIALS

A. Manufacturer:

1. The names of proposed manufacturers, suppliers and dealers who are to furnish materials, fixtures, or other fittings shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval, as early as possible, to afford proper investigation and checking.

Manufacturer shall, upon the request of

Exit Road Improvements 01000 - 5 March 2023 the Engineer, be required to submit evidence that they have manufactured a similar product to the one specified and that it has been previously used for a like purpose for a sufficient length of time to demonstrate its satisfactory performance.

2. All transactions with the manufacturers or subcontractors shall be through the

Contractor, unless the Contractor shall request, in writing to the Engineer, that the manufacturer or subcontractor deal directly with the Engineer. Any such transactions shall not in any way release the Contractor from the Contractor’s full responsibility under this Contract.

3. Any two or more pieces of material of the same kind, type or classification, and being used for identical types of service, shall be made by the same manufacturer.

B. Delivery:

1. The Contractor shall deliver materials in ample quantities to insure the most speedy and uninterrupted progress of the work so as to complete the work within the allotted time.

For tests specified to be made by the County, the testing personnel shall make the necessary inspections and tests and the reports thereof shall be in such form as will facilitate checking to determine compliance with the Contract Documents. Five copies of the reports shall be submitted, and authoritative certification thereof must be furnished to the County as a prerequisite for the acceptance of any material.

3. If, in the making of any test of any material, it is ascertained by the County that the material does not comply with the Contract Documents, the Contractor will be notified thereof and will be directed to refrain from delivering said material, or to remove it promptly from the site or from the work and replace it with acceptable material, without cost to the County.

Upon receipt of such notice, the County will arrange to have a representative present at such times during the manufacture as may be necessary to inspect the materials or the County will notify the Contractor that the inspection will be made at a point other than the point of manufacture.

2. The Contractor must comply with these provisions before shipping any material. Such inspection shall not release the Contractor from the responsibility for furnishing materials meeting the requirements of the Contract Documents.

D. Certificate of Manufacture:

Orange County, Florida Revised May 2023

SECTION 01010

SUMMARY OF WORK

1.01 LOCATION OF WORK

A. Work included in this Contract will be performed at the Orange County Landfill, located at 5901

Young Pine Road in Orlando, Florida 32829. The Orange County Landfill is owned by the

Orange County Board of County Commissioners (County) and operated by the Orange

County Utilities Solid Waste Division.

1.02 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. The County has been experiencing long queuing lines of vehicles attempting to exit the landfill. The primary cause of the queuing lines is the presence of only a single exit lane and single outbound scale. The Work of this construction project, in general, is the construction of an additional outbound scale and new operator’s booth for this scale, refurbishment of the existing operator’s booth, and modifying the inbound and outbound traffic lanes, as shown on the plans. The Work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, services, incidentals, and performing all work necessary to construct a new outbound traffic lane and improve overall traffic movement on site consisting of:

• Providing a maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan and flagging personnel during construction activities.

• Since the modification of the roadways will cause additional traffic flow problems during construction, the County requires the additional outbound scale to be constructed first. This will allow a faster flow through of traffic during construction. The construction of a new outbound scale includes concrete ramps and curbs, washout slab, operator’s booth, barrier arm gate, guardrails and scale foundation. It also includes the installation of an electronic scoreboard and all necessary power and lighting.

• Replacement of the existing operator’s booth for the south scale, modifying the booth’s foundation and installation of all necessary power and lighting.

• Construction of a new roadway to the Class III landfill after exiting the inbound scales, as shown on the drawings.

• Contacting and coordinating with Duke Energy to relocate an existing power pole.

• Draw hydrant near outbound scales to be removed.

• Modifying and widening existing roadways near the scalehouse area to improve overall traffic movement, as shown on the plans. All new roadways will receive the installation of proper lane markings and signs.

• Stormwater improvements associated with the widening of existing roadways including construction of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Type C ditch bottom inlets, 18-inch reinforced concrete pipes and FDOT cross drain mitered end sections, as shown on the plans.

Exit Road Improvements 01010 - 2

• Improvements to the scalehouse area including, construction of concrete tread and riser to the northwest corner of the scalehouse, removal of existing canopy roof, installation of new canopy roof to extend to the newly constructed outbound traffic lane, installation of new inbound operator’s booth, extension of existing concrete slab foundation at the inbound operator’s booth.

• Any millings, limerock, and soils excavated during the project shall stay onsite and be stockpiled at places indicated by the County.

The County has elected to split a portion of the work into two sperate bid alternatives in order to assess the costs upon receiving the bid and decide what Work will be included in this

Contract.

The Work of Bid Alternative 1, in general, is the construction of the area behind the Citizens

Drop-Off Area. The Work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, services, incidentals, and performing all work necessary to construct the area behind the Citizens Drop-Off Area consisting of:

• Construction of an additional exit lane from the Citizen’s Drop-off Area.

• Construction of roadway behind the Citizen’s Drop-off Area. All new roadways will receive the installation of proper lane markings and signs.

The Work of Bid Alternative 2, in general, is the construction of full depth shoulders on all new roadways and existing roadways to be modified. The Work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, services, incidentals, and performing all work necessary to construct full depth shoulders consisting of:

• Construction of full depth shoulders which includes installation of type B stabilization, limerock and Superpave asphalt concrete on all roadways.

All items shall be in place, and ready for operation and use by the County, in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications titled "Orange County Solid Waste Facility Exit Road

Improvements.”

The construction of the Orange County Landfill Entrance Road Improvements shall proceed in an orderly manner as to protect the materials placed. The Contractor shall block off the work area as to restrict it from ongoing landfill activities.

Insofar as the solid waste operations by the County are required to be ongoing during the construction period, the Contractor is required to sequence the work to eliminate interruption of the County's solid waste operations. To this end, at least two outbound lanes

(prior to the scale house) must be kept in operation at all times.

B. The Contractor shall complete all work described above and all other work incidental whether specifically mentioned or not in accordance with the Plan Drawings, Specifications, and

Contract Documents.

C. Work shall conform to the following Drawings that form a part of these Contract Documents.
