Summary of Scope of Work: The JFF Bypass Pipe at Lower Monumental has approximately 200' of 32" HDPE pipe that is above ground and exposed to seasonal temperature variation resulting in large displacement of the pipe at the expansion joint at the top of the pipe. Over time the pipe has gotten shorter, causing the expansion joint to be separated from the pipe during extreme cold temperature. The work includes the following: • Cut the 32" HDPE pipe in two places, and reposition the middle and upper sections of the pipe to align with the connecting pipes in the middle section and the flume transition at the top of the upper section. The 32" HDPE pipe is elevated 10-20 feet above grade at the locations where the expansion joints are to be installed. • Fabricate and install two new custom expansion joints for the 32" pipe and one for the 24" pipe that connects to the 32" pipe to allow for the thermal expansion and contraction of the HDPE pipe. The expansion joints, designed by the government, will consist of an insert piece that will slide inside the HDPE pipe on the downstream end of the expansion joint, a spacer spool of pipe that is tapered to transition from the inside diameter of the HDPE pipe to the inside of inside diameter of the insert piece, two mounting flanges with set screws to attach to the ends of the HDPE pipe, and a packing type seal between the sleeve piece and the downstream end of the HDPE pipe. The expansion joint components will be fabricated from 304L stainless steel. The expansion joints are designed to provide a smooth flow of water for transportation of juvenile and adult fish. In-water work is December 15, 2019 - March 31, 2020. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). The Contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective on-site Safety and Health program in accordance with EM 385-1-1 that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific Accident Prevention Plan for Government acceptance. In addition, the Contractor will be required to develop and submit for Government acceptance Activity Hazard Analyses for each phase of work and a project specific Fall Protection Plan that comply with EM 385-1-1. A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) employed by the prime contractor shall be required for each shift of the contractor's on-site operations. The SSHO shall possess a minimum of 5-years' experience in construction safety on similar projects, shall have completed the 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety training within the last 5-years, and shall have completed at least 24-hours of formal safety training each year for the past 5-years. The Contractor will be responsible for establishing and managing an effective Contractor Quality Control (CQC) System that will require the development and submission of a comprehensive project specific CQC Plan for Government acceptance.
