We understand that the Town of Palm Beach proposes to relocate the existing generator for the D-17 Pump Station to two (2) feet above the 100-year flood elevation. The existing generator is located adjacent to 170 Clarendon Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida. The location of the project is shown on the attached Site Vicinity Map, Sheet 1. We have not been provided with any specific structural information; however, we expect the new generator will be supported on a mat foundation similar to the existing generator. Our recommendations herein for foundation design and construction are based on our above understanding of the project. If this information is incorrect or changes, we should be notified so we can review our recommendations and revise them if necessary. We also recommend that we be contacted to review the foundation design when final structure loads and foundation design elements become available. A.

The Contractor shall exercise due concern for the utility system operation and shall diligently direct all of the Contractor's activities toward maintaining continuous operation of the existing facilities and minimizing operation impacts. 7. The general sequence of demolition is described in Section 01010, Work Sequence. 8. It is understood that there will be certain times that the station will be out of service. During these times, the Contractor shall provide the appropriate bypass pumping operation or make the modifications necessary to maintain station operation at all times. A. The objective of flow bypass and/or diversion pumping is to: 1. Maintain an efficient and uninterrupted level of service to wastewater collection system users while maintenance or construction operations (including rehabilitation, repair or replacement) are facilitated on the segment or segments being bypassed and/or from which flow is being diverted within the wastewater collection system. 2. Ensure all levels of sewage flow are continuously and effectively handled around the segment or segments of sewer being bypassed and/or from which flow is being diverted. 3. The Contractor is expected to plan and execute all efforts for by-pass pumping and associated permitting. 4. The Contractor is expected to divide the lift station construction work into manageable segments and to seek Owner approval prior to taking lift station(s) off of by-pass and placing the proposed lift station(s) into service. Work on a lift station that was on bypass must be complete and accepted by Owner (with O&M and record drawings submitted and approved) prior to the contractor beginning work on the next lift station. B. Performance requirements: 1. It is essential to the operation of the existing sewerage system that there is no interruption in the flow of sewage throughout the duration of the project. To this end, the Contractor shall provide, maintain and operate all temporary facilities such as dams, plugs, pumping equipment (both primary and back-up units as required), conduits, all necessary power, and all other labor and equipment necessary to intercept the sewage flow before it reaches the point where it would interfere with his work, carry it past his work, and return it to the existing sewer downstream of his work. 2. The design, installation and operation of the temporary pumping system shall be the Contractor's responsibility. The bypass system shall be the Contractor's responsibility. The bypass system shall meet the requirements of all codes and regulatory agencies having jurisdiction. 3. The Contractor shall provide all necessary means to safely convey the sewage past the work area. 4. The Contractor shall maintain sewer flow around the work area in a manner that will not cause surcharging sewers or damage to sewers, and that will protect public and private property from damage and flooding. 5. The Contractor shall protect water resources, wetlands and other natural resources. 6. In the event of a bypass failure, the Contractor shall be responsible for all necessary corrective action, as approved by the Owner, to complete the project. 7. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for planning and executing sewer flow control, bypass and diversion pumping operations. The Contractor shall be entirely liable for damages to private or public property that may result from his operations and for all cleanup, disinfection, damages, and resultant fines in the event of spillage, flooding or overflow. C. Design Requirements: 1. Provide all pipeline plugs, pumps of adequate size to handle peak flow, and temporary discharge piping, to ensure that the total flow of the sewer and service connections can be safely diverted around the wastewater system to be rehabilitated/replaced. Bypass pumping system will be required to be operated 24 hours per day 7 days per week, including holidays during bypass pumping operation. The system operating pressure shall be as required to pump into the system. 2. Install one bypass pump at each pump station or manhole to be bypassed. There shall be one back-up pump ready for immediate use in the event of an emergency or breakdown of any of the pumps. Each pumping location shall have provisions for immediate installation of a redundant pump without shutting the system down. 3. Single discharge piping shall be provided for all bypass pumping operations. Each individual discharge pipeline shall be of adequate size to convey the required flow for the system's normal operating pumps. 4. Provide adequate enclosure around all bypass pumping equipment. 5. To minimize odors, install the discharge piping to within 2 feet of the manhole bottom and provide lockable security covers with an inspection door over all suction and discharge manholes. Covers can be made of ae-inch plywood, securely fastened over the manholes. 6. Maintain onsite portable lights for emergency use only. 7. Discharge must have an isolation valve and a check valve. 8. Pump station cleanouts shall not be used for bypass pumping. A. The Contractor shall furnish, install and place into service operating process instrumentation, control systems and panel including accessories, related to the control panels as shown on plans and specified herein. B. Field instruments for the facility are specified elsewhere and/or indicated on drawings. C.

The hardware- RTU equipment shall be provided by the I&C vendor; the programming and configuration of the RTU and the Town's existing SCADA system shall be provided by Engineer Service Corporation of Jacksonville FL. Submittal shall be made through the I&C System Supplier. D. The I&C Contractor shall provide the electrical control panels, terminal Jboxes, field instruments as indicated on the drawings and these specifications. The I&C Contractor shall work with the RTU Contractor to provide the status and alarm signals from the various instruments and equipment to the telemetry system.
