Furnish and Install 8-inch PVC C900 Force Main and 8-inch PVC C900 Water Main along SW 152nd St

The Project, including mobilization and demobilization, consists of furnishing and installing water main and sewage force main improvements as described below. FORCE MAIN The Project, including mobilization and demobilization, consists of furnishing and installing approximately 6,330 linear feet of 8-inch diameter PVC C900 DR18 pipe for a Sewage Force Main. The pipeline will extend along SW 152nd Street from SW 77th Ave to SW 74th Ave, and from SW 72nd CT to the west side of the canal at the Paradise Point Drive entrance to Royal Harbour Yacht Club. The installation includes ductile iron (D.I.) zinc-coated and polyethylene encased fittings, as well as joint restraints. Additionally, the project involves the placing of service and grout filling of approximately 1,930 linear feet of 8-inch D.I.P. force main and about 570 linear feet of 6-inch D.I.P. force main. Tasks involve exploratory excavation for connections to existing 6-inch through 16-inch pipes and a6 existing utility crossings, one connection to an existing reducer with an 8-inch 45-degree bend, and the installation of one 16 M.J. plug valve. Cut-in plug connections to existing sewage 8-inch and 6-inch force main will be made for grout injection and abandonment in place. The scope also includes locating the existing 6-inch force main west of the canal crossing, connecting it to the existing 6-inch sewage force mains, and installing mechanical joint restraints as necessary. Additional project components include automatic air release valve assemblies for the sewage force mains, polyethylene encasement for ductile iron valves, fittings, and restraints, as well as sheeting, and shoring, and any additional suitable backfill if required. Coordination with the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) is essential for all connections, including those to adjacent sewer services. The project will also furnish all materials, equipment, and supplies necessary for cleaning and testing the force main. The scope also includes the removal of existing asphalt pavement, sod, and legal disposal of demolition material. Traffic control, as well as the temporary and permanent replacement of any damaged pavement, driveways, sod, landscaping, and pavement markings, are also part of the project. WATER MAIN The Project, including mobilization and demobilization, involves furnishing and installing approximately 1,860 linear feet of 8-inch diameter P.V.C. C-900 DR18 pipe for a new water main. It also includes ductile iron (D.I.) fittings that are zinc-coated and polyethylene wrapped, with joint restraints, along SW 152nd Street, from SW 67th Avenue to the west side of the canal at Paradise Point Drive and the entrance to Royal Harbour Yacht Club. Additionally, the project includes abandoning in place and grouting approximately 1,950 linear feet of 16-inch D.I.P. water main. The work also involves digging to make connections to the 16- inch water main and to cross existing utilities, installing one (1) resilient seated gate valve; two (2) fire hydrant assemblies with 6-inch PVC C900 DR18 fire hydrant lead piping and 6-inch gate valves; two (2) 1-inch long water services, and connecting to an existing 16-inch butterfly valve using a 16-inch x 8-inch D.I. reducer. Other tasks include installing one 8-inch solid sleeve, making plug connections to the existing 16- inch water main for grout injection and abandonment, and installing air release valve assemblies for water main. The project also involves sheeting and shoring, which may stay in place if ordered by the Engineer, and coordinating with MDWASD for all connections, including to nearby water services. Additional work includes providing suitable backfill and compaction as needed, furnishing all materials, equipment and supplies required for cleaning, testing and disinfecting the mains as well as the removal of existing asphalt pavement, sod and demolition materials. The project also requires the transport, salvage and legal disposal of demolition materials, placing existing water mains out of service once the work is completed. Finally, the project includes the temporary and permanent replacement of any pavement, sidewalk, sod, pavement markings and/or driveway damage during construction, along with all other appurtenant and miscellaneous work for a complete and fully functional installation. The Project is in a portion of Section 22-27, Township 55, Range 40 E, in the Village of Palmetto Bay, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The intent of this Project is to replace Department-owned water and wastewater facilities that are deficient due to age, capacity, or documented condition, and that affect reliable service within the project limits. If, during construction, the Department identifies additional facilities that: (a) are within or adjacent to the project corridor, or (b) are directly connected to the facilities being replaced and necessary to maintain reliable service, the Department may approve adjustments to the Project scope to include such facilities. Any such adjustments will be documented by the Department, must demonstrate a direct relationship to the Project's purpose of maintaining continuous and reliable service, and be executed in accordance with the contract provisions governing changes in work.
