Project Description The Washington Park Utility Improvements projects consists of water, sewer, and drainage system improvements. It is the intent of the City to award a construction contract to construct a complete and working installation under this contract and any items of labor, materials or equipment, which may reasonably be assumed as necessary to accomplish this end, should be supplied whether or not specifically shown on the plans or described herein. Maintenance of the existing utility systems is mandated throughout the construction period. 4.2. Technical Specifications Water Main Replacement Program project is from Rodman Street to Washington Street between S. 56th Avenue and U.S. Route 441, and along S. 56th Avenue from Rodman Street to Washington Street consisting of approximately 16,700 feet of 8-inch, 12-inch, and 16-inch diameter PVC & DIP water mains along local City streets and easements. Existing water mains will be replaced with new PVC or DIP water mains, isolation valves, fire hydrants, backflow devices, and water services. Water meter and boxes will remain. The design will not cross the rights-of-ways (ROWs) at SR 441. Proposed water mains will be connected to existing water mains on the east side of SR 441, on the east side of 56th Avenue, on Rodman Street and Washington Street. The sanity sewer system improvements consist of the design of approximately 10,300 linear feet of gravity sewers ranging from 8-inch to 15-inch, 42 sanitary sewer manholes, and laterals with discharge into existing lift stations, in the unsewered areas between Rodman Street and Washington Street between S. 56th Avenue and U.S. Route 441. The drainage system improvements consist of inlets, manholes and French drain systems as provided by the City of Hollywood. Removal of existing drainage structures and pipes where new catch basins are proposed is incidental to the other bid items for the stormwater system improvements. All MOT, dewatering, restoration, as-builts and any incidental related work is to be included in the bid prices. The roadway resurfacing improvements along the Washington Street right-of-way between S. 56th Avenue and S. 60th Avenue / State Road 7 / US 441 reduces the number of vehicular travel lanes to provide a marked bike path and bi-directional left-turn lane. Appropriate pavement markings and signage is proposed to encourage safe travel while in the thoroughfare. Dewatering activities and bypass pumping that may be required for installations are the responsibility of the contractor. Discharge of dewatering liquids into the City's storm water drainage system is permitted provided the silt is removed via an appropriately sized settling box and returned via a filter bag or filter fabric over the return inlet. The return volume shall not exceed the storm water drainage system capacity, cause excess silting/clogging of the existing storm water system, or cause excess turbidity level in receiving waters. If silts/materials are deposited in the drainage system due to dewater activities, the contractor must remove the deposited materials at no additional cost to the City. Discharge of liquids generated by de-watering activities directly to bodies of water is not permitted
