SCOPE OF WORK
The consultant’s scope of services as described but not limited to the Schedule A Prime Consultant's Services and including below project specific requirements:
1072555 - Site Communications Systems
The intent of the project is full system replacement and mapping including the following: 1) The staging of the communication and fire alarm services must be coordinated to provide uninterrupted or back-up service during construction; 2) Optimize the servicing configuration to align with existing site features such as buildings, roads and other servicing alignments; 3) Include spare ducts for electrical and other potential future servicing; 4) Underground concrete encased duct banks should be reinforced and protected (to the extent possible) from freeze and thaw. The project should eliminate any overhead services where practicable.
This project is to be bundled with the renewals for the other buried services on-site: 1072758, 1072761, 1072762, 1072777 and phased as practicable and after the buried domestic water, sanitary and storm water distribution piping has been replaced.
After-hours work is expected at transition from the existing system to the new system. Installations shall comply with applicable local and IO standards and codes.
1072758: Potable Water Distribution Piping
The intent of the project is to upgrade the buried domestic water system, excluding the municipal mains installed in 2000-01(approx 3,600 LF). This represent approximately 58% of the system (~5,000 LF). 1) Removal of the original 150 mm main on-site; 2) replacement of the original buried water lines to the buildings from the original mains; 3) redesign of new services to be fed off the 2000-01 municipal mains; 4) update of the fire protection system (distribution piping and fire hydrants, approx. 2,300 LF) on-site in accordance with the OBC; 5) the staging of the buried service replacement to provide uninterrupted or back-up service during construction; and 6) optimization of the servicing configuration to align with existing site features such as buildings, roads and other servicing alignments.
After-hours work is expected at transition from the existing system to the new system. Installations shall comply with applicable local and IO standards and codes.
Any works that may disturb piping and result in discoloration or cloudiness or general aesthetic changes to the water will require off hours flushing of the lines prior to staff arriving the next day. Pre-existing known water concerns are to be addressed or taken into account before work proceeds. i.e. if there is a lead issue or a historic lead issue.
See Appendix H 1072758, Sudbury, Potable Water Renewal, Project Summary for further details
1072761: Site Electrical Distribution Renewal
The intent of the project is to replace the electrical service distribution wiring, pole-mounted transformers and electrical manholes sitewide from the Hwy 69 to each of the main distribution panels in each of the buildings on-site (~6,400 LF). Full system replacement and mapping. 1) The staging of the secondary electrical service replacement must be coordinated to provide uninterrupted or back-up service during construction; 2) Optimize the servicing configuration to align with existing site features such as buildings, roads and other servicing alignments; 3) Replacement of non-critical services with overhead lines to avoid groundwater where possible.
The project is to be phased over multiple years with no interruption to any services throughout the project. Project should be coordinated so that deeper buried services are completed first to avoid re-excavating newly installed buried services closer to grade level. There is an estimated 2,800 LF of primary underground hydro cable feeding various buildings throughout the site, and 3,600 LF of overhead primary feed cable on poles along the east property boundary. Installations shall comply with applicable local & IO standards and codes.
1072762: Sanitary Sewer-Underground Renewal
The intent of this project is the complete replacement and mapping of the underground sanitary sewer distribution system on-site in 2020-23 in accordance with the recommendations of the Buried Services Study (2018), including the following: 1) The staging of the sanitary sewer service replacement must be coordinated to provide uninterrupted or back-up service during construction; and 2) Optimize the servicing configuration to align with existing site features such as buildings, roads and other servicing alignments. The project is to be bundled with the renewals for the other buried services on-site: 1072755, 1072758, 1072761, 1072777.
After-hours work is expected at transition from the existing system to the new system. Installations shall comply with applicable local and IO standards and codes
1072777: Storm Sewer-Underground Renewal
The intent of this project is to replace the underground storm sewer system on-site as per the Buried Services Study recommendation. The scope of work is to include the following: 1) Complete replacement of the system (excluding the main storm water line for the site along Provincial Government Office Road); 2) that a master plan for the site servicing be designed that establishes optimal pipe alignments and profiles. The works can be phased starting at the downstream end of the system and working upstream as the annual budget permits. The project is to be bundled with the renewals for the other buried services on-site: 1072755, 1072758, 1072761, 1072762.
1072756: 9 Bay Distribution Equipment
