Site work for a water / sewer project in Plymouth, Minnesota. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The proposed project consists of stream erosion improvements that include but are not limited to bank slope grading, minor sediment accumulation removal and boulder stream enhancements to control and slow water flow within the stream. The goal of these improvements is to reduce soil erosion from high stormwater flows that are causing the degradation of Medicine Lake. The work to be done under this contract shall include the furnishing of all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to construct complete in place the sanitary sewer and all appurtenances as shown on the drawings, plans and as specified herein. When installing public utilities in a new residential development all builder and developer construction activity shall pause until the public utilities have been installed, tested and the streets built. The contractor shall excavate all materials encountered, furnish and compact foundations where required, furnish and install all timbering, sheeting and bracing necessary to safely support the work, remove any ground water encountered during excavation operations, protect, repair, relocate, maintain and restore all sub-surface, surface and overhead structures directly disturbed, damaged or affected by construction operations and furnish all backfill and other appurtenant items and services as necessary. All site grading must be completed, certified by the project Engineer and all off-road grading equipment removed from the site before starting any public utility work. All off road sanitary sewer manholes must be accessible to the city’s maintenance vehicles. (See Detail SS9) A 12’ wide bituminous access road with a turnaround shall be constructed to each structure. All off road manholes shall be marked with a flange post and a green reflectorized metal marker plate with white “M.H.” lettering printed upon the plate. The marker plate shall face the closest access road. The flange post shall be located approximately 2’ behind the manhole when facing the roadway. Costs to construct access roads shall be incidental to the sanitary sewer installation unless otherwise modified by the contract documents. If service disruption to an existing sewer line is anticipated then written notice shall be delivered to each home or business 48 hours prior to the disruption describing work, schedule, how it affects them, and a local telephone number of the contractor they can call to discuss the project or any problems which could arise. Records of sewer services installed shall be gathered by the contractor as the work progresses. Those records shall be turned over to the engineer upon completion of the work. The records will include the type of service connection, distance installed from the downstream manhole, and the length of any riser installed.
