CITY OF SANTA ANA SPECIFICATIONS PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX PROJECT TITLE 195 However, due to the age of the pipe and valves the Contractor should not expect an absolute shutdown and shall be prepared to employ pumping equipment in the event that an absolute shutdown cannot be achieved. The Engineer shall judge the shutdown to be adequate for the tie-in to proceed as indicated on the plans and specified here in. The City will not be responsible for any delays due to system shutdown and isolation when an adequate shutdown can be achieved. When an extensive water main shutdown is required and cannot be achieved adequately, the Water Resources Division will determine what temporary service connections may be required. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary appurtenances (i.e. hose, piping, valves, and water trucks) and associated labor required to provide such temporary service. All piping and associated equipment used in temporary service connections shall be flushed and disinfected. All hoses shall be NSF approved. Water main and services abandonment shall be per the engineering plans and these Special Provisions. Any deviations shall require prior approval by the Engineer. 7.23 ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE (ACP) The Contractor may encounter existing asbestos materials (i.e. asbestos cement pipe) during constructing water main improvements within the City. The Contractor is warned that asbestos is a known human carcinogen when inhaled and poses serious health risks. Asbestos fibers are easily inhaled and can result in chronic respiratory illness, cancer, and other severe health effects. Removal, handling and disposal of existing asbestos cement pipe (ACP) shall be performed by a contractor or subcontractor registered by CAL/OSHA and certified by the State Contractors Licensing Board for asbestos removal. Submit copies of the certification to the City prior to the commencement of any asbestos removal activities. The contractor or subcontractor shall comply with all State and Federal laws and regulations regarding the handling and removal of asbestos materials. Th e contractor or subcontractor shall properly identify, remove, and dispose of all asbestos materials. Provide sufficient supervision and monitoring to assure conformance. In specific instance of making connections to existing asbestos cement pipe, disconnect, at the nearest joints, the length of asbestos cement pipe to be connected to the new pipe. This length of existing asbestos cement pipe will be replaced by the new pipe making the tie-in. No cutting, snap cutting or milling of the asbestos cement pipe will be allowed. All removed ACP shall be wrapped in 6 mil polyethylene sheeting or bags sealed with appropriate tape, and properly labeled and removed away from the construction area to prevent damage. The contractor or subcontractor shall be responsible for the proper identification, removal and disposal of the ACP pipe. Contractor or subcontractor shall provide the City of Santa Ana field representative with the manifest for proper ACP disposal. 505 E Central Ave #B11/6/2024
