SECTION 01010 -- SUMMARY OF WORK
PART 1 -- GENERAL
1.1 GENERAL
A. The WORK to be performed under this Contract shall consist of furnishing all plant, tools, equipment, materials, supplies, and manufactured articles and for furnishing all transportation and services, including fuel, power, water, and essential communications, and for the performance of all labor, work, or other operations required for the fulfillment of the Contract in strict accordance with the Contract Documents. The WORK shall be complete, and all work, materials, and services not expressly shown or called for in the Contract Documents which may be necessary for the complete and proper construction of the WORK in good faith shall be performed, furnished, and installed by the CONTRACTOR as though originally so specified or shown, at no increase in cost to the OWNER.
1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
A. The Florida State Fire College desires to install a treatment system to address the Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) contamination of raw water.
B. Florida State Fire College intends to construct the following components:
1. Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters with backwash to address the Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) contamination of raw water- The proposed GAC Filter system will consist
of 4 GAC filter tanks, each with a design capacity of 42 gallons per minute (GPM) in duplex/lag arrangement with 2 in series and 2 in parallel.
a. The first 2 tanks in parallel will provide Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) and the second two tanks in series will provide redundancy and allow a mid-point sampling tap. Each of the fiberglass GAC tanks is 48-inch by 72-inch back washable tank with 25 cubic feet (cu. ft.) (100 cu. ft. total) of GAC to provide an EBCT of 7 minutes based on an instantaneous flow rate of 1 GPM per 1.33 cu. ft. of media. A seven- minute EBCT should allow for 80- 90 percent (%) removal of perfluorinated compounds.
b. The proposed design of using larger mesh 8x30 GAC acid washed media (GC 8 x 30 AW) for more efficient high molecular weight organics followed by a smaller mesh 12x40 GAC acid washed media (GC 12 x 40 AW) more smaller organics will maximize bed life and removal efficiencies.
c. The activated carbon filters shall conform to NSF International Standard 61 as adopted in Rule 62-555.335, F.A.C.
d. Associated valves, pressure gauges, sample ports, fittings and appurtenances for the GAC filters.
2. Addition of Hydrogen Peroxide Feed System as a pre-oxidant to improve raw water quality-
Hydrogen peroxide (35 % concentration) will be added at the existing sodium hypochlorite injection point upstream of the ion exchange system. A hydrogen peroxide feed system, chemical feed pump, drum, and other appurtenances will be constructed in the existing chlorine building. The existing chlorine tubing connected to the existing injection point will be utilized to add hydrogen peroxide.
a. The chemical feed pump shall be proportionally flow paced to the existing well pump. Florida Rural Water Association (FRWA) will perform a jar test to ascertain the actual feed rate needed for hydrogen peroxide to oxidize / reduce impurities. The expected feed rate of between 3.0 to 5.0 mg/L is anticipated to use 1 to 1.5 gallons of hydrogen peroxide per month.
b. The hydrogen peroxide chemical feed pump proposed is a positive displacement, peristaltic-metering pump with anti-siphon protection, Stenner Model 45MHP2, #1 that provides 3 gallons per day (GPD) at 100 pounds per square inch (psi). The system will furnish and install a Stenner STS Series tank, 15-gallon chemical solution tank/holding tank. The hydrogen peroxides chemical feed system will be placed adjacent to the GAC filters under a roof (no walls). PVC, PTEE, and Polypropylene (low and high density) piping materials will be acceptable for hydrogen peroxide.
c. The FRWA ENGINEER shall be responsible to perform the hydrogen peroxide jar test at the Florida State Fire College WTP. The ENGINEER shall submit the required jar test report at the time of submitting a Certificate of Completion and Clearance Request to support the dosage of hydrogen peroxide and the sizing of the chemical feed pump. 3. Construction of a New Sodium Hypochlorite Injection location after the GAC filters, before the
point of entry (POE) to the distribution system- The existing sodium hypochlorite injection
location upstream of the ion exchange system will now be used to add hydrogen peroxide. a. The sodium hypochlorite feed system, chemical feed pump, drum and other
appurtenances will be relocated to the GAC filter area.
b. The chemical feed pump shall be proportionally flow paced to the new water meter. 4. Concrete Slab and Pole Barn for GAC Filter, Ion Exchange, etc. consisting of:
a. Expand the existing concrete slab to a minimum of 13’-6” x 22’-0”. The concrete slabs shall be 4-inch thick fiber-reinforced and welded wire mesh. Control joints shall be installed at least 10-feet center to center.
b. The Pole Barn shall be at least 15-ft x 24-ft with a partial wall placed such that the Chlorine Tank and GAC Filters are entirely out of the sun. The Pole Barn, footers, posts, roof and trusses shall be rated for hurricane winds with connections / straps to comply with standard building codes. The CONTRACTOR is required to obtain a Marion County
Building Department Permit.
c. Install 120 Volt single phase receptacles throughout the enclosure – a minimum of 4 receptacles.
d. Disturbed areas surrounding the site shall be regraded and reseeded. 5. Back Wash Collection and Recirculation System consisting of:
a. Backwash water line discharging into the top of backwash tank with an air gap provided b. Two (2) 2,500-gallon high density polyethylene or fiberglass backwash water tank to be constructed on a minimum 12-foot x 23-foot 4-inch thick fiber-reinforced and welded wire mesh concrete slab.
associated fittings operated by tank level indicators / floats. 6. Back Wash Recirculation System consisting of:
a. Associated 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC filter backwash pressure line to convey collected backwash water from the GAC filter system back to the head of the GAC Filters.
b. The system shall operate with floats in the tanks and when the GAC Filters are operational.
c. The expected quantity of the backwash water recycle is approximately 4,000 gallons per week.
