The project generally consists of the installation of six (6) manways on existing bar wrapped concrete steel cylinder pipes at various locations throughout the District as shown on exhibits located in Appendix A. The scope of work includes excavation (to pipe spring-line) of existing bar wrapped concrete cylinder pipes (sizes vary), chipping off a portion of external cement coating, removing a portion of bar wrapping at the manway opening, fabricating and installing a manway as shown on detail named Bar Wrapped Pipe 20” Manway, located in Appendix B. The scope of work for Locations 1 thru 5 is similar in nature as they require excavation of native material for the construction of the manways.

Location 6 requires excavation of an existing asphalt access road to Miller pump station, construction of the manway, and entry into an existing 39” pipe to repair internal mortar coating chipping. The internal pipe repair shall be limited to 15’ each way of the Manway and be in conformance with section 15061 of the Technical Specifications.

Installation of all manways and interior pipe lining repair shall be completed within thirty-five (35) calendar days from Notice to Proceed and prior to the pipe assessment dates scheduled from March 3rd, 2020 to March 15th, 2020. During this time frame, contractor will be on hold which will not require its crew to be present at the sites. After existing pipeline assessment is completed, contractor shall demobilize within five (5) calendar days. Demobilization shall include removal and disposal of trench plates and corrugated metal pipes, backfill and compaction of excavations with native material to the District’s satisfaction.

The Bidder shall make necessary arrangements with the Project Manager 48 hours in advance. Bids will now be accepted from any bidder who did not attend the original Pre-Bid Conference.
