1 <br /> 1 (b) The Contractor shall secure permission from and comply with all requirements <br /> 2 of the water utility before obtaining water from the fire hydrants. The Engineer <br /> 3 shall also be notified by the Contractor of such permission as soon as granted. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 (c) The Contractor shall use hydrant wrenches only to open hydrants. He shall also <br /> 6 make certain that the hydrant valve is open "full" since "cracking" the valve <br /> 7 causes damage to the valve. An approved auxiliary valve shall be provided on <br /> 8 the outlet line for control purposes. Fire hydrant valves must be closed slowly to <br /> 9 avoid a surge in the system which creates undue pressure on water lines. The <br /> 10 Contractor shall carefully note the importance of following these directions. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 (d) If one of the Contractor's employees shall knowingly or unknowingly use the <br /> I <br /> 13 wrong wrench on a hydrant and thereby damage the hydrant valve stem, the <br /> 14 Contractor will be responsible. He shall immediately notify the water utility so <br /> 15 that the damage can be repaired as quickly as possible. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 (e) Upon completing the use of the hydrants, the Contractor shall notify the water <br /> 18 distribution agency so that the hydrants may be then inspected for possible <br /> 19 damage. Any damage resulting from the use of the hydrants by the Contractor <br /> 20 will be repaired by the water agency, and the cost thereof shall, if necessary, be <br /> 21 withheld from the final payment to the Contractor. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 (f) Violation of these requirements will result in fines and will lay the Contractor liable <br /> 24 for damage suits because of malfunctioning of damaged fire hydrants, in the <br /> 25 event of fire. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Section 2-07 is supplemented with the following: <br /> 28 <br /> 29 (February 17, 1998 City of Everett GSP) <br /> 30 2-07.8 Street Cleaning <br /> 31 <br /> 32 2-07.8(1) Description <br /> 33 This work shall consist of clearing the pavement and removing debris from the roadway. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 2-07.8(2) Construction Requirements <br /> 36 The use of water to perform clearing work shall be held to a minimum unless designated <br /> 37 otherwise by the Engineer.

No allowance will be made for time consumed in making <br /> 46 repairs to the equipment or for moving the equipment to or from the site on which the street <br /> 47 cleaning is ordered. No separate payment will be made for water required for the normal <br /> 48 operation of the pickup sweepers. <br /> 49 <br /> WEST MARINE VIEW DRIVE UTILITIES PAGE 81 OF 117 August 2018 <br /> WORK ORDER#3588 <br /> SPECIAL PROVISIONS <br />
