INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

SCOPE OF WORK:

Construction of the bypass sewer will begin with clearing and installation of erosion control devices. There is

a stream near the connection with the existing sewer that will need to be addressed at the beginning of

construction.

The stream is between a 90-inch diameter concrete culvert that passes under a former railroad and a

concrete dam structure upstream of the crossing that is an aesthetic feature for the Mobile Home Park.

There is 56 feet of stone and cobble stream bed between these two features 6-8 feet wide. The stream

eventually joins Edwards Creek, downstream of the culvert, which leads to the Flat River. A measured dry

weather flow of 7.25 cfs has been observed passing over the dam.

The pond water surface can be drained approximately 2 feet through a 24-inch CMP bypass pipe if a slide

gate will work. In dry weather it will take approximately 2 hours to refill the pond to overflow. Stream work can

be done in relatively dry conditions for that length of time. Bypass pumping can be employed if more time is

needed.

It is proposed to begin construction at MH “D”. Manhole “D” will intercept the 12-inch sanitary sewer between

MH 29-6 and 29-7. A poured-in-place concrete base will be formed under the 12-inch pipes to maintain flow.

An 18-inch pipe for future extension will be set to the west and plugged. Positioning of the 15-inch invert at

MH “D” is critical as is planning how the pipe will lay across the stream. Precast manhole sections will be

placed and sealed; flow channels and benches poured; and the top of the 12-inch cut off to allow new flow to

rejoin from the east as part of the Intercept MH, 60 inch dia <10 feet item.

Through the stream, pea stone bedding is proposed, and the pipe will be laid so no joint falls in the stream

bed. The crown of the pipe will be approximately 2-inches above the stream bed so a concrete cap is

proposed to protect the pipe against stream scour action. Once the banks have been restored and protected

and stream flow released, construction of pipe between MH “E” to “I” will be laid with conventional open cut

methods.

MH “I” will be at the intersection with the existing 10-inch pipe between MH 10-6, east of Lamb Street, and

MH 239 serving the Industrial Park from the southeast. This manhole can be built with conventional precast

sections by placing a plug in MH 239 and in the southeast pipe in MH 10-6. Both plugs will be 10-inch

diameter. There is sufficient volume of piping upstream of MH 239 to permit the Contractor to plug that

manhole for a maximum of 8 hours to accomplish the installation of Manhole “I” and restore the flow from the

southeast into the new pipe.

The final pipe connection will be an 18-inch diameter pipe from MH “I” to MH 10-6. It will be laid in the same

alignment as the existing pipe but with reversed grade. Connection to MH 10-6 will require a larger opening

to be paid as San MH Tap, 18-inch. Once connected, the bypass system is ready to accept the upstream

system and the 10-inch to the west can be permanently plugged.
