INTRODUCTION
' SCOPE AND INTENT OF THE STANDARDS MANUAL
This is a Standards Manual of the Town of Bath, North Carolina. It provides
' Design and Construction Standards applicable to additions and connections to
the Bath Wastewater System.
' These Standards are derived from the Project Manual for the Bath Wastewater
System dated December 1, 1985.
The Standards Manual is intended for use by all major participants in the
' planning, design, and construction of new service hookups or expansions to the
existing wastewater system, including:
1) The Property Owner, who needs wastewater service.
2) The Consulting Engineer who evaluates impacts and estimates costs of
' proposed connections, and provides construction/contract guidelines
and construction administration advisory assistance.
-3) The Town of Bath Board, Contractors, and Staff, who manage the
' wastewater service, and
4) The Contractor who constructs connections and additions to the
system.
This manual should guide the Town of Bath through the process of planning and
constructing new wastewater service connections and extensions to the system
on an as -needed basis, and should assist in establishing desired standards for
both quality of construction and compatability with the existing system.
HOW TO USE THE STANDARDS MANUAL
OVERVIEW
This Standards Manual provides a recommended process for the design, approval,
and construction of new service connections to the Bath Wastewater System.
' Part I provides specifications of the work suitable for use with most
residential connections, and certain non-residential uses. Specifications
provided are selected to represent standards in quality of workmanship,
products, and material for the most simple, uncomplicated generic connections.
Since many of the recommended Division One requirements are applicable to larger
' contracts and/or more complex construction contracts, the reader may wish to
waive many of these specifications for simple, uncomplicated residential
connections.
1

Part II provides Illustrative Details that further serve to describe '
mechanical equipment, electrical wiring, service connections and other design
information recommended as standards for new connections.
Part III provides sample application, bidding and contract forms for use by '
the Town Wastewater Manager and Town Attorney in obtaining price proposals and
completing construction contracts for new connections.
EXHIBIT.A:.FLOW CHART _
The purpose of the Flow Chart is to illustrate the procedures necessary for
obtaining connections and additions to the Bath Wastewater System. It will
also assist in estimating time required to initiate construction and to
clarify the requirements of each participant.
The flow chart contains all the major milestones and decision points in this
process, and graphically depicts the sequence of steps required, from initial
application through completion of construction.
PART I: SPECIFICATIONS OF THE WORK
The purpose of Part I is to set quality standards, and to ensure compatibility
with the existing wastewater system through specification of materials,
equipment, and methods of construction.
The scope of these specifications is adequate for wastewater service
connections to individual residences, residential development, and certain
non-residental uses. Suitability of these specifications for particular
applications should be determined by the Town of Bath and the Engineer during
the Application Phase.
PART II: ILLUSTRATIVE DETAILS
These are illustrative details to supplement Part I in providing the technical
information for bidding and contract documents. Others may be required if so
determined by the town and/or engineer during the Application Phase.
PART III: SAMPLE CONTRACTS & FORMS
A. APPLICATION FORMS
The sample application forms are to provide the basis for engineering
assessment and completion of bidding documents; provide data for engineering
assessment, cost estimating and amount of payment bond, and to ensure that
preliminary requirements are met (payment bond, easement documents,
identification of participants). Part III is intended to provide sample forms
and documents utilized to apply for and obtain bids and construction
contracts for wastewater service connections and to satisfy applicable
regulatory requirements.
B. SAMPLE BID FORMS
The Sample Bid Form provides a format for the contractor's price proposal to
complete work specified. It includes time required to complete work and
�I
1-1
I
1

specified categories of unit prices for -items specifically required for the
Bath Wastewater System.
C. SAMPLE CONTRACT FORMS
Sample forms provided include an abbreviated standard contract forms for small
' construction projects, with General and Supplementary conditions. A "Notice
to Proceed" form, whereby the Town would authorize the start of construction of
a new hookups is also provided; and finally, in support of the Town's need to
' recover any Sales Taxes paid to contractors, a form for Contractor's reporting
of Sales Tax is provided.
