Muddy Creek Project - Creek Crossing Plan Matt, B &V has reviewed the revised creek crossing plan and has the following comments 1 Confirm that Layne will have at least one extra silt bag on site during creek crossing Yes 2 Confirm that Layne will confine construction operations to a 40 -foot width as indicated in Detail E on Drawing D -03 (bypass pumps and discharge hose can be outside this 40 -foot width) Yes 3 Confirm size of pump Drawing markup indicates a 10 -inch quiet flow pump and narrative below says 6" or 8" My supplier salesman with Sunbelt Pumps is on vacation this week. I am meeting with him next Monday 7 -27 -15 to confirm what sizes we will actually need and all materials and parts as well to have the bypass pumps set up like we discussed. [Skidmore, Matt] (See attached pump sizing email) 4 Provide stream flow calculations to justify bypass pump size selected. Can provide once the site meeting with Sunbelt Pumps on next Monday 7- 27- 15[Skidmore, Matt] (See attached stream flow calculation email) 5 Provide narrative information on plans for dewatering the coffer dam and trenches during construction Same as #'s 3 and 4. But my plan is to have the bypass pumps set up pumping from coffer dam and pumping back into creek down stream of work like discussed. I will have Additional Silt Bags on site as well if we need we will use. The dewatering of trenches will be done by pumping into silt bag and letting the water discharge towards the creek or however it is needed to be set up as we progress throughout the project, in making sure no silt in getting in creeks. 6 Provide narrative information on how concrete encasement of force main will be placed and allowed adequate time to cure prior to backfilling When Layne is completing the Creek Crossing, as the pipe is installed all the way across creek. Layne will order Concrete from our Supplier and have the Concrete Plant add Calcium Fluoride Chloride to the Concrete mix, this will make the concrete set up and cure very fast as well pour the concrete encasement over the new pipe. Layne has equipment on site to be able to perform this work from either side of the creek with using a concrete bucket that will be attached to the Excavator boom out over the new installed pipe to pour the concrete encasement. At that time Layne will have 1 Excavator on both sides of the creek installing the Backfill / Rip Rap per the plan details and cleaning up areas and restoring all dirt areas and erosion in place. 7 Confirm that this creek crossing revision will not require revisions to the Contract Times and /or Contract Price Correct, No additional time or additional charges. Please respond to these comments and provide additional information as requested Thanks, Matt From: Matthew Stonica fmai Ito: Matthew.
