<br />CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH SECTION 02761 - 3 <br />CLEANING STORM SEWER SYSTEMS <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PART 2 - PRODUCTS <br /> <br />NOT USED <br /> <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION <br /> <br />3.1 GENERAL <br /> <br />A. The equipment shall remove dirt, grease, rocks, sand, other materials, and obstructions <br />from the storm mains, laterals, and manholes. <br /> <br />B. A high-velocity storm cleaner will be used for the majority of the cleaning work. Other <br />equipment, such as bucket machines, rod machines, hydraulic root cutters, vacuum trucks <br />and balling equipment shall be available. <br /> <br />3.2 CLEANING PRECAUTIONS <br /> <br />A. All necessary precautions shall be taken to protect the storm from damage during all <br />cleaning and preparation operations. Precautions shall also be taken to ensure that no <br />damage is caused to public or private property adjacent to or served by the storm or its <br />branches. The Contractor shall pay for and restore, at no additional costs to the Owner, any <br />damage caused to public or private property because of such cleaning and preparation <br />operations. <br /> <br />B. Satisfactory precautions shall be taken in the use of cleaning equipment. When <br />hydraulically propelled cleaning tools (which depend upon water pressure to provide their <br />cleaning force) or tools which retard the flow in the storm line are used, precautions shall be <br />taken to ensure that the water pressure created does not damage or cause flooding of <br />public or private property being served by the storm. No fire hydrant shall be obstructed in <br />case of a fire in the area served by the hydrant. All requirements shall be met when <br />accessing a fire hydrant including but not limited to meters, backflow preventers, and <br />properly trained personnel. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to meet all state and <br />local requirements. <br /> <br />3.3 CLEANING <br /> <br />A. If cleaning of an entire storm section cannot be successfully performed from one manhole, <br />the equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and cleaning attempted again. If <br />results of the cleaning are favorable, the Contractor will proceed with the TV inspection. All
