The work or jobs described below are to be done by qualified contractors duly organized, validly existing and in good standing with at within the last twenty-four (24) months with experience in this type of service. The Contractor shall maintain a qualified work force experienced in the performance of specified jobs and familiar with all laws, rules, and regulations regarding the activities stipulated herein. The Contractor shall show proof of qualifications and submit a list, together with their bid, of at least three customers and types of services done for within the last twenty-four (24) months. 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES VALVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Operation and maintenance procedures for various types of valves are detailed in manufactures operation manuals and in the appropriate product, AWWA standards. The following paragraphs provide guidelines for most situations. A valve that has not been operated for a number of years needs to be closed by using a series of up and down motions. Crews attempting to close a difficult valve should never use a T-handle and extension to force the valve closed. Such over-torqueing to obtain a positive shutoff can cause damage to the valve. Torque -limiting devices must be used by the proponent of this contract to avoid damage to valves. Crews should follow the following guidelines to close a valve properly: 1. Begin with a steady amount of torque in the direction necessary to close the valve, moving through 5 to 10 rotations. 2. Reverse for two or three rotations. 3. Reverse again and rotate 5 to 10 more turns in the closing direction. 4. Repeat this procedure until full closure is attained. 5. Once the valve is fully closed, it should be opened a few turns so that high velocity water flowing under the gates can move the remainder of the sediment downstream with more force and clear the bottom part of the valve body for seating. 6. Fully close the valve again. 7. Adjust rotations based on valve size The reason for this cautious approach is that debris and sediment often build up on the gates, stem, and slides. If this material is compacted while the valve is being closed, the torque required to close the valve continues to build as the material is loaded. If the procedure previously described is used, the stem and other parts are "scrubbed" by the series of back -and -forth motions, and water in the system can flush the debris that has broken loose away from the stem gate and slides or guides. LOCATING, WORKING AND CLEANING VALVES 1. Valves that are located and operated shall be in Accordance with Contract requirements. 2. All available valve information will be supplied by the City. 3. Contractors will use electronic metal locators, probe rods, and visual inspection to determine valve locations supplied by the City.
