Will the Plant Electrician repair an electric or communications line accidently severed
during construction that is not marked in the field?
Answer: Yes, however the contractor must excavate in a slow and cautious manner. The
contractor should remove a small amount of material in each in each scoop, 1-foot or less
of depth. Additional hand digging or probing should be done in advance of excavation to
verify there are no unknown utilities present.
Shouldn't a 6-inch inserta valve be installed on the water line that feeds around the
primary clarifiers before installing the two 3-inch valves?
Answer: Yes, if there are sufficient funds in the project to cover this additional cost. If
not the City reserves the right to eliminate the additional 6-inch valve and use pipe
freezing methods to isolate the two 3-inch valves (if more cost effective). An additional
6-inch inserta valve was added to the bid sheet and is shown on the drawings.
