Site work for a water / sewer project in New Canton, Virginia. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, parts, supplies and materials, as necessary, to perform the services as described herein: Cost for Line Item #1 (include total cost for items A-L) These are known factors. Vendors must invoice for actual cost incurred as described herein. A) Construct an onsite sewage system that meets the location and construction specifications of the Virginia Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations (12VAC5-610-10 et seq., the Regulations). B) Construct the above onsite sewage disposal system in compliance with the Buckingham County Health Department Construction Permit 23-114-64 at 1464 Cartersville Rd New Canton, VA 23123 in the location shown on the permit. The permit may contain additional conditions, notes, and information needed to construct the onsite sewage system. C) Septic Pump-out Requirements: All bids shall include the cost to pump out the contents of the existing septic tank by a properly licensed sewage hauler. To prevent sewage from backing into the home or erupting on property surface prior to the completion of the septic work, additional pump outs of the contents of the existing septic tank by a properly licensed sewage hauler may be required on an as-needed basis. Bids should provide a cost-breakdown per additional pump out. If multiple pump outs are needed preauthorization will need to occur to allow for a change order for additional, justifiable pump outs. If the permit requires work within or under the existing drain field (as indicated in the Permit) additional monitoring and pumping of the existing septic tank may be required in order to allow for the drying out of the drain field. In these cases, for one week prior to the installation or repair of the onsite sewage system the effluent level of the septic tank must be monitored so that it does not discharge into the pump chamber or dispersal field. The contents of the existing septic tank shall be pumped by a properly licensed sewage hauler to prevent sewage from entering the drain field for one week prior to installation. D) Tree Removal and Site Clearing: A pre-bid site visit is recommended to determine what if any tree removal or site clearing that may need to occur. Per the above referenced Permit, remove any trees and wood debris as described in the permit and haul away wood and debris unless notified otherwise. Costs of tree removal and site clearing should be included in initial bids. Any additional site clearing, or tree removal required during installation must be submitted in writing to and approved by VDH in writing including an additional cost estimate. E) Provide, or subcontract with a licensed plumber and electrician to provide plumbing and electrical required to convey the wastewater from the house to the onsite sewage system as required by the Regulations and the Virginia Uniform State wide Building Code. This includes obtaining or assuring that the owner obtains all permits and inspections necessary by the local building authority in compliance with the Virginia Uniform State wide Building Code. G) Abandon any unused component of the former onsite sewage system as specified by the Buckingham County Health Department Construction Permit 23-114-64. Upon completion of the onsite sewage system repair, the existing 1,000-gallon septic tank shall be pumped by a properly licensed sewage hauler, the tank crushed in place, lime placed over the crushed tank, and the tank hole filled with clean backfill material and restoring the area to its original condition. Abandonment may also include removing unused sewer line and conveyance lines and crushing and filling the distribution box. H) Follow all regulations and permitting pertaining to erosion and sediment control including stabilizing, seeding and grading the site after construction to return to the original state. Control construction runoff with proper practices so as not to become a nuisance to the owner or to neighboring properties or cause sediment to be discharged into state waters and drainage ditches. Any construction debris must also be removed from the site and disposed of properly. Additional questions: Contact Angelica Cipara via email: angelica.cipara@vdh.virginia.gov
