PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Replace existing distribution water line to new 50mm HDPE from existing main CC valve at pump house to the existing CC valve at the shop by means of directional drilling. Replace existing distribution water line to new 50mm HDPE from existing main CC valve at pump house to the replaced CC valve at the staff house. SCOPE OF WORK: Contractor is responsible for all necessary equipment, tradesmen, and supplies for the completion of the following scope of work: 1. Any required line locates are the responsibility of the Contractor. 2. Remove steel barrier posts in front of pump house and set aside for reinstalment. 3. Remove front concrete step at pump house and set aside for reinstalment. 4. Partially excavate down to main CC valve, using a step downside method of embankment then expose CC valve along with both existing water line connections by means of hydro-vac. This procedure to be used on all three CC valves. 5. Directional drill new 50mm HDPE water line with 12-gauge wire tracer wire from pump house to existing CC valve in front of the shop. a. All existing fittings and connections will be replaced on existing CC valves. 6.

All existing fittings and connections will be replaced on existing water line from staff house to the replaced CC valve. 8. Pressure test to be completed to the closed existing and replaced CC valves (x3) for a min of 15 minutes, repeated again to the opened CC valves (x2 shop and house) for min of 15 minutes. 9. Once pressure test is confirmed all excavations to be brought up over grade for settlement. 10. Reinstall Barrier posts level, with a minimum of 4’ above ground, similar height prior to removal. 11. Reinstall concrete apron with 97% compaction to the grade material – material to be provided by Alberta Forestry and Parks. 12. Existing water lines except for staff house CC valve will not be removed and all line locates to be completed by Alberta Parks with site map included with RFQ.
