Site work for a water / sewer project in Oak Park, Illinois. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Village is seeking Bids from qualified plumbing contractors for the replacement of lead and/or galvanized water service lines from the curb stop into the residence as described herewith. Water service lines to be upgraded with this program will be one inch copper from the main to the curbstop, having been previously upgraded through the Village Capital Improvement Program, and lead or galvanized into the structure. The locations and lengths of service line are estimated for bidding purposes. Detail Specifications 1. Location of the Improvements The location of the work is known as: PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY and specific PRIVATE PROPERTIES within the Village of Oak Park, Illinois. Specific locations will be assigned after award of this contract. 2. Description of the Improvements The Village of Oak Park has developed a lead water service line replacement policy that replaces the Village portion of the water service with new water main installation. The typical construction would be to connect a one-inch copper line to the _ inch lead service just past the B-box. A second scenario for the Village to upgrade the public side of the water service is if the homeowner upgrades the private side from the B-box to the meter, then the Village will upgrade the public side from the B-box to the water main. This contract will encounter houses with either scenario which will vary the coordination with Village crews accordingly. The improvements under this contract shall include installing a new continuous one-inch Type K copper water service line on the Owner side of the water service from the curb stop/B-box into the house to the water meter. Work shall include a new meter setting including full-port ball valves before and after the meter with a 1/2" x _ turn brass MPT x MHT boiler drain valve after the meter. A new water meter is optional to the homeowner and if selected, will be delivered to the jobsite. New meter connectors will be furnished, if necessary, by the Village. It is the intent of this contract that the installation of the new water service line will be completed by boring or directional drilling. Any deviations from this construction method, including open cut trenching, shall require Village of Oak Park approval prior to commencing the work.
