The scope of work for this project at Tobyhanna Army Depot is to replace
the existing sanitary, water and storm systems and repave existing
roadways as shown in the design plans and according to the project
breakout and phasing as demonstrated in the Design Analysis Report. The
new storm system and roadways will only be installed in the Army Depot's
secured Industrial Area generally defined as the area within First Street
to Sixth Street and Gibbs Street to Myer Street and including Electronics
Drive.
The existing sanitary sewer mains will be removed and replaced generally
in place with new PVC mains, and existing manholes will be replaced with
precast concrete manholes. Sanitary sewer service lines to adjacent
buildings will be replaced to within 5 feet of the building and new
cleanouts will be installed. Some existing sanitary manholes and mains
will be abandoned in place and filled with flowable fill as depicted in
the design plans.
The existing water mains, valves and fire hydrants will be replaced
generally, in place with new ductile iron mains, valves and fire hydrants
and protective bollards. Water and fire connections to the mains will be
re-connected to the new mains as depicted in the design plans. Some
existing water mains will be abandoned in place and filled with flowable
fill as depicted in the design plans. Install new air vacuum valves and
vaults as shown in the design plans.
Portions of the existing storm system within the Industrial Area will be
replaced and supplemented with new RCP pipe and precast concrete inlets.
Portions of the existing storm system mains to the outfalls will be lined
as depicted in the design plans. Connections to the storm sewer mains
from building downspouts will be provided as depicted in the design plans.
The paving of the main roadway network within the Industrial Area will be
replaced with new paving to enable more efficient and sufficient drainage
of storm runoff. Affected sidewalks will be replaced and parking areas
will be milled and overlaid as shown in the design plans. New striping
for travel way lines, parking areas and crosswalks will be replaced in
kind or as otherwise shown on the design plans.

to/from the building safely through the work site if necessary, in clearly
marked and protected pathways. Any building entrance closures must be
approved by the GDR.
Before work is started, arrange with the GDR a sequence of procedure,
means of access, space for storage of materials and equipment, and use of
approaches, corridors, and stairways.
EXISTING WORK
In addition to FAR 52.236-9 Protection of Existing Vegetation, Structures,
Equipment, Utilities, and Improvements:

LOCATION OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES
Obtain digging permits prior to start of excavation, and comply with
Installation requirements for locating and marking underground utilities.
Contact local utility locating service a minimum of 48 hours prior to
excavating, to mark utilities, and within sufficient time required if work
occurs on a Monday or after a Holiday. Verify existing utility locations
indicated on contract drawings, within area of work.
Identify and mark all other utilities not managed and located by the local
utility companies. Scan the construction site with Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR), electromagnetic, or sonic equipment, and mark the surface of
the ground or paved surface where existing underground utilities are discovered. Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities, and any type of underground or encased obstruction not indicated, or specified to be removed, that is indicated or discovered during scanning, in locations to be traversed by piping, ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed. Verify elevations before installing new work closer than nearest manhole or other structure at which an adjustment in grade can be made.
