    A- GENERAL 1.0 SCOPE OF WORKS The Works covered in this Contract comprise the provision by the Contractor at his

    own risk and cost which comprise all materials, scaffoldings, tools, plants, labour, transports, water, power, profit and attendance, overhead and everything else necessary for the construction and completion of the Works to the entire approval of the Superintending Officer hereinafter referred to as the S.O.

    The Conditions of Contract for the Works, which is embodied in the Form of Contract, shall be read in conjunction with this Specification. If the Tenderer considers that any of the clauses in the Conditions of Contract involves additional expenses not covered elsewhere, the Tenderer shall allow for monetary value for such clauses in his Tender, otherwise, it will be deemed to have been included.

    2.0 PROGRAMME AND PROGRESS OF WORKS Within 30 days after the acceptance of tender, the Contractor shall submit to the

    S.O. for his approval three (3) copies of a detailed programme in Microsoft Project format showing the time order, procedure and method in which the Contractor propose to carry out the Works, and shall whenever required by the S.O. or his representative, furnish for his information particulars in writing of the Contractors arrangement for carrying out such work and other construction plants and temporary works if any, which the Contractor intends to supply, use or construct as the case may be. The submission to and approval by the S.O. or his representative of such programme or the furnishing of such particulars shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his duties or responsibilities under this Contract.

    If at any time it should appear to the S.O. that the actual progress of the Works does

    not conform to the approved programme referred to herein, the Contractor shall produce, at the request of the S.O. a revised programme showing the modifications to the previously approved programme necessary to ensure the completion of the whole Works within the time set for completion.

    3.0 CONSTRUCTION SITE The location of the Site is shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall be deemed

    to have inspected the Site before tendering and to take into account all the conditions there, such as means of access, facilities for transport, storage and movement of plants and materials, and any other contingencies liable to affect his tender price, as no claim for extra payment in this connection will be entertained.

    The Contractor shall be liable for and shall indemnify SYABAS against any damage,

    expense, liability, loss, claim or proceedings whatsoever whether arising at common law or by statute in respect of personnel injury to or death of any person whomsoever or to any property arising out of or in the course of or by reason of the visit to the Site.

    4.0 PREPARATION OF THE WORK AREA 4.1 Detection of Existing Utilities and Services

    The Contractor shall investigate, and have full knowledge of the position of existing utilities and underground services such as drains, pipes, electric cables, culverts, etc. He shall take all necessary precaution as part of his work. He shall undertake the following:-

    i. Detailed utility detection using radio and or ultrasonic machine. The drawings

    must be submitted to the S.O in 2 set in A1 size, coloured to differentiate the type of services. The type of utility, size and depth shall be clearly indicated.

    ii. Where necessary, trial pits and exploration trenches to ascertain the exact

    portions of these services shall be excavated, well ahead of pipe repair / maintenance excavation, in places where they are known or thought to be and elsewhere and these shall be backfilled with approved materials.

    iii. All damages to the existing services shall be made good to the satisfaction of

    SYABAS and the relevant authorities. SYABAS shall be identified against any action taken against the Contractor/developer due to their negligence.

    4.2 Isolation of Valves

    Before any excavation, SYABAS representative and the Contractor shall jointly locate all value pipelines in the area. (This is based on their working knowledge of the water distribution system or based on maps / water reticulation plan of the area and / or from their past experience).

    1. Ascertain the type, size and estimated length of pipe that may be affected due to

    the excavation and repair works. The information will enable the maintenance team to mobilize the appropriate tools, spare parts, etc. The information will be important in estimating the volume of water loss due to pipe bursts or pipe leaks .

    2. Sketch the location plan and the distribution network layout in a Record Form for

    updating and record purposes.

    3. SYABAS representative shall identify all isolating and scour valves affected by the pipe to be repaired as well as valves located in the vicinity. It is important to ensure that water scouring will not result in flooding of the area, in particular the area for excavation.

    Prior to excavation, shut the isolating valves as identified. As a direct effect, the pipeline pressure will drop and hence, water will stop. When this has been confirmed, the scour valves may be opened to discharge the remaining water from the main prior to excavation work.

    4. However, if water pressure neither drops nor leakage subsides after closing of

    the identified valve, then SYABAS representative and his team may need to locate any possible unknown inter-connections.

    FFiirrsstt EEddiittiioonn :: MMaayy 22000077

    5. When the inter-connections have been identified, the isolating valve shall be shut to facilitate repair work. Update the sketch of the pipe layout in the attached Record Form. The sketch shall then be submitted to SYABAS representative upon completion.

    4.3 Trench Excavation / Cutting of Metalled Premix Road

    The trench shall be excavated by such method as allowed by SYABAS for proper maintenance and repair work.

    1. Trench excavation shall be carried out by such methods and to such lines,

    dimensions and depths to allow for the proper construction of the works.

    2. As a general guide, the approximate width of trench excavation is as per Table1.

    Table1: Width of trench and road cutting based on pipe diameter

    Pipe OD with sheathing (D) mm

    Clear width of trench excavation

    Clear width of metalled premix road cut

    < 500 mm > 500 mm but < 750mm > 750mm

    D + 450 mm D + 600 mm D + 900 mm

    D + 1050 mm D + 1200 mm D + 1500 mm

    3. Under no circumstances shall the Contractor be allowed to place excavated materials by the road-side. Excavated materials shall be carted away to a waiting lorry and transported to dump site to be determined by the Contractor.

    4. In cases where the trench depth exceeds 1.5 m, sheet pile wall or strutting of

    trenchs wall shall be provided to prevent any untoward incident such as cave in from happening.

    4.4 Dewatering of Trench

    The Contractor shall note that certain parts of the pipeline may be laid in ground with high water table, especially in areas adjacent to the streams, river crossings and ponds.

    1. The Contractor shall allow cost for dewatering and keeping all the excavations and

    trenches dry for the pipeline repair work to be carried in a safe manner during the execution of the work.

    2. Dewatering shall be carried out using dewatering pump with long hose. The

    dewatering pump shall have the capacity to drain a trench ( 1m x 1m x 1.5m ) within 5 minutes ( 70 igpm ).
