City of Sunny Isles Beach NE 174th Street Roadway Improvements 00800-8 Special Conditions and Supplementary Conditions 14-1758 / 09-19-2014 The ENGINEER and the CITY reserve the right to require the CONTRACTOR to work twenty-four (24) hours per day in all cases where interference with existing water and sewer service may result in health hazards, offensive conditions or serious inconveniences to persons served by the system. E. Conflicts and Conflict Manholes/Inlets - The CONTRACTOR shall abide by the following schedule of criteria concerning conflicts with other contractors and other utilities. (1) The CONTRACTOR shall verify the location of each utility line suspected of conflict prior to ordering the structure involved in the conflict and make it known to the OWNER and ENGINEER of any adjustment required for the structures. (2) In no case shall there be less than the standard minimum vertical and horizontal separation between utilities and structures unless otherwise allowed by the utility owner. (3) In cases of unforeseen utility conflicts the CONTRACTOR may be required to build conflict structures in place to avoid time delays. (4) The ENGINEER shall have full authority to direct the placement of the various pipes and structures in order to facilitate construction, expedite completion and avoid conflicts. (5) Where an existing utility is to go through a conflict manhole/inlet, the manhole/inlet shall have a steel sleeve completely through the structure to protect the utility from breakage due to possible structure settlement. The steel sleeve shall meet the requirement of ASTM and the utility owner. F. Adjust Existing Valves, Meters, Catch Basins and Manholes - It shall be the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to make all adjustments to existing water meters, valves, catch basins and manholes encountered during construction, in order to meet all final grades, unless otherwise instructed by the ENGINEER or the respective utility owner. Omission of such structures from the CONTRACT Plans does not relieve the CONTRACTOR from making such adjustments as may be deemed necessary. The CONTRACTOR shall take this provision into account when personally investigating the site prior to bidding. Payment for such adjustments shall be included in the unit prices for various contract items. The CONTRACTOR shall pay the cost of all utility adjustments and all related tests. The CITY will not pay this cost.
