IRRIGATION GENERAL NOTES.
<br />20. THE POINT OF CONNECTION IS A PUMP STATION WITH 3 INCH WELL. 3 HP CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND NEW ELECTRIC SERVICE VERIFY PRIOR TO
<br />INSTALLATION, THAT THE WELL CAN PROVIDE THE MINIMUM VOLUME AND PRESSURE AS SPECIFIED IN THE IRRIGATION DETAILS, WITHOUT
<br />SIGNIFICANT DRAW DOWN. NOTIFY THE ENGINEER IF THESE CONDITIONS CANNOT BE MET PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH WORK.
<br />21 WATER SAMPLES MUST BE TAKEN FROM THE WELL LOCATION AND TESTED FOR MINERAL AND SALT CONTENT PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH
<br />CONSTRUCTION SODIUM AND CHLORIDE LEVELS MUST BE LOW ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN PROPOSED PLANT MATERIAL IN A HEALTHY AND
<br />VIGOROUS STATE. ACCEPTABLE CHLOR/DE LEVELS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 100 PARTS PER MILLION AND NOT GREATER THAN 450 PARTS PER
<br />MILLION. ACCEPTABLE SODIUM LEVELS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 80 PARTS PER MILLION AND NOT GREATER THAN 250 PARTS PER MILLION.
<br />22. MAIN LINE PIPES WILL BE SCH. 40 PVC SOLVENT WELD. WHITE COLOR AND WILL CONFORM TO ASTM 0-1785. LATERAL PIPES WILL
<br />BE SCH. 160 PVC SOLVENT WELD, WHITE COLOR AND WILL CONFORM TO ASTM D-2241 PIPE SIZES TO CONFORM TO PIPE SIZE
<br />SCHEDULE SHOWN IN THESE PLANS. REMOVE DAMAGED AND REJECTED PIPE FROM PROJECT SITE AT TIME OF REJECTION.
<br />23. PIPE JOINT COMPOUND/PRIMER MUST BE SLOW DRYING, HEAVY-DUTY CEMENT AND TINTED (PURPLE) PRIMER THAT IS COMPATIBLE
<br />WITH THE CEMENT THE PVC CEMENT MUST BE HEAVY BODY, SLOW DRYING AND GREY THE PRIMER SHALL BE PURPLE PRIMER.
<br />24. PLACE VALVES IN PLASTIC VALVE BOXES 50 THAT THE TOP OF THE VALVE BOX IS FLUSH WITH FINISH GRADE. MARK EACH VALVE
<br />LID WITH THE CORRESPONDING VALVE NUMBER PAINTED WITH WHITE, 3 INCH HIGH NUMBERS AND LETTERS.
<br />25. IRRIGATION CONTROL WIRE WILL BE THERMOPLASTIC SOLID COPPER, SINGLE CONDUCTOR, LOW VOLTAGE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER WIRE, SUITABLE FOR
<br />DIRECT BURIAL AND CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT RATED VOLTAGES. TAPE AND BUNDLE CONTROL WIRES EVERY 100 FEET AND RUN BELOW THE MAIN LINE.
<br />AT VALVE BOXES, COIL 36 LINEAR INCHES OF WIRE AROUND A 5 INCH PIECE OF PVC PIPE TO MAKE A COIL. MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WITH
<br />WATERPROOF ELECTRIC CONNECTORS NUMBER THE WIRES, USING AN ELECTRICAL BOOK OF NUMBERS, ACCORDING TO THE PLANS NUMBER WIRES
<br />IN VALVE BOXES AND AT THE CONTROLLER. WIRE WILL BE SIZED AS NOTED IN THE PLANS, NUMBERED AND COLORED AS FOLLOWS. WHITE FOR
<br />COMMON, RED FOR HOT WIRES. YELLOW FOR SPARES (PROVIDE 2 SPARES) AND RUN SPARE WIRES TO THE LAST VALVE /N EACH DIRECTION.
<br />26 ABOVE GROUND GALVANIZED STEEL PIPE WILL CONFORM TO ASTM A-53, SCHEDULE 40.
<br />27 ABOVE GROUND FITTINGS WILL BE MALLEABLE IRON, ZINC COATED, TYPE II, WITH A PRIMARY SERVICE RATING OF 150 PSI CONFORMING
<br />TO THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL SPECIFICATION 11-P-521
<br />28. EXCAVATE STRAIGHT AND VERTICAL TRENCHES WITH SMOOTH, FLAT OR SLOPING BOTTOMS. ENSURE THE TRENCH WIDTH AND DEPTH
<br />ALLOWS FOR A MINIMUM OF SIX INCHES OF VERTICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN PIPING.
<br />29. INSTALL PIPE SO THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM BACKFILL DEPTHS ARE MAINTAINED: 18 INCHES FOR THE MAIN LINE AND CONTROL V/IBES, AND 12 INCHES FOR
<br />LATERALS. PIPES MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 36 INCHES OF COVER WHEN LOCATED BELOW ROADWAY PAVEMENT AND 24 INCHES OF COVER WHEN BELOW
<br />SIDEWALKS. IF NEEDED, DIRECTIONAL BORES WILL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOOT UTILITY ACCOMMODATION MANUAL. BACKFILL WILL BE
<br />OF SUITABLE MATERIAL FREE OF DEBRIS LARGER THAN ONE HALF OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER. COMPACT TRENCHES AS ACCORDING TO THE IRRIGATION
<br />DETAILS AND APPLICABLE STANDARDS FOR ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION.
<br />30. PRIOR TO THE PLACEMENT OF HEADS, FLUSH LINES FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES OR UNTIL LINES ARE COMPLETELY CLEAN OF DEBRIS. USE SCREENS IN HEADS AND
<br />ADJUST HEADS FOR PROPER COVERAGE, AVOIDING SPRAYING EXCESS WATER ON PAVEMENT AREAS.
<br />31 REQUEST THE PRESENCE OF THE ENGINEER IN WRITING AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE OF TESTING. TESTING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTRACTOR
<br />AND IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ENGINEER CENTER LOAD THE PIPING WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF BACKFILL, LEAVING JOINTS EXPOSED TO PREVENT ARCHING OR SLIPPING WHILE
<br />UNDER PRESSURE. FLUSH AIR FROM THE MAIN LINES. CAP VALVE RISERS (DOWNSTREAM OF THE VALVES) AND APPLY A CONTINUOUS AND STATIC WATER PRESSURE OF 100 PSI
<br />FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS. AFTER THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN STABILIZED NO MORE THAN A 6 PSI DROP /N PRESSURE WILL BE ALLOWED OVER THE 3 HOUR PERIOD. FACILITIES OF
<br />THE SYSTEM WHICH DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE TEST MUST BE REMOVED AND/OR REPLACED AND THE MAIN WILL BE TESTED AGAIN UNTIL SATISFACTORY TEST RESULTS ARE OBTAINED
<br />32. UPON COMPLETION OF BACKFILLING. FINISH GRADING AND CONTOURING, TEST THE SYSTEM FOR PROPER OPERATION, INCLUDING ELECTRICALLY ACTUATING THE REMOTE
<br />CONTROL VALVES. RUN EACH ZONE UNTIL WATER BEGINS TO PUDDLE OR RUN OFF THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE SETTING OF THE INITIAL CONTROLLER RUN TIMES ANO TO
<br />DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF IRRIGATION START TIMES NECESSARY TO MEET THE WEEKLY EVAPOTRANSPIRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLANTING MATERIAL IN EACH ZONE.
<br />IN SANDY SOILS PUDDLES WILL NOT OCCUR, INSTEAD, CALCULATE THE REQUIRED RUN TIMES.
<br />33. SUBMIT, FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, COPIES OF THE MANUFACTURERS CUT SHEETS/SPECIFICATIONS, FOR COMPONENTS TO BE USED IN THE IRRIGATION
<br />SYSTEM. AFTER PROJECT COMPLETION, AND AS A CONDITION OF FINAL ACCEPTANCE, PROVIDE THE ENGINEER WITH A LEGIBLE SET OF AS -BUILT DRAWINGS THE AS-BUILTS
<br />MUST IDENTIFY ELECTRIC VALVES, GATE VALVES, BALL VALVES, MAIN LINE AND SLEEVES. LOCATE EACH ITEM USING TWO DIMENSIONS, FROM FIXED OBJECTS OF A PERMANENT
<br />NATURE, AND MUST BE NOTED ON THE AS-BUILTS. PROVIDE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUALS TO THE ENGINEER FOR ALL COMPONENTS OF THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
<br />34. UPON COMPLETION OF AS-BUILTS, PREPARE CONTROLLER CHARTS. INDICATE ON EACH CHART THE AREA CONTROLLED BY A REMOTE CONTROL VALVE (USING A DIFFERENT
<br />COLOR FOR EACH ZONE). SUBMIT TO THE ENGINEER PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE.
<br />35. THE QUANTITIES TO BE PAID FOR V/ILL BE THE ITEMS SHOWN IN THE PLANS, COMPLETED AND ACCEPTED,
<br />36. THE QUANTITY, DETERMINED A5 PROVIDED IN THESE PLANS, WILL BE PAID FOR AT THE CONTRACT LUMP SUM PRICE FOR THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM, WHICH PRICE AND
<br />PAYMENT WILL BE FULL COMPENSATION FOR ALL THE WORK SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION UNDER THE PAY ITEM NUMBER 590-70.
<br />37 ELECTRICAL WORK FOR IRRIGATION SHALL FOLLOW: SPEC 630 REQUIREMENTS AND NEC.
