2 SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIFICATION FOR WORK SEQUENCING (PUBLIC UTILITIES PROJECTS) The Contractor shall submit, for review and approval by the Owner, a plan for the sequence of construction prior to commencing construction activities. The guiding concept of this plan will be to provide the shortest-term disruption to the project area residents or businesses. For all new pipe installations, the Contractor shall complete testing, and site restoration along each block or street section, not to exceed 1,000 feet, before continuing construction. The 1,000 feet is the maximum unrestored work length and is based upon the aggregate of unrestored work within the entire project and is not per block, street, or section. For water and sanitary sewer rehabilitation and replacement projects, the Contractor shall complete testing, and site restoration along each block or street section, not to exceed 1,000 feet, before continuing construction. Work will be sequenced in logical areas of the project neighborhood or groups of adjacent street sections. The 1,000 feet is the maximum unrestored work length and is based upon the aggregate of unrestored work within the entire project and is not per block, street, or section. Site restoration includes, but is not limited to pavement patching, concrete replacement, and cleanup. At the discretion of the Owner, the Contractor may be allowed to continue construction activities beyond the stated limits provided additional Contractor resources are being applied expeditiously to testing and site restoration. The Project Manager and the Inspector will review the approved plan for construction sequence monthly to compare the approved plan and actual work completion. If conditions have rendered the plan invalid, the Contractor will be required to submit an updated plan for construction sequence for review and approval. If the Contractor fails to restore the work area in a timely manner, the Owner may suspend additional construction activities and redirect Contractor resources to site restoration. Return to Top 1

7 SUPPLEMENTAL SPECIFICATION FOR CONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE WITH STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN Effective Date: July 1, SCOPE: If a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was prepared for this project, the procedures contained herein specify the requirements that the Contractor and all subcontractors involved in land disturbing activities shall follow to ensure that the SWPPP for this project is adhered to. 2.0 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) has authorized the City of Virginia Beach (Owner) to discharge stormwater from this project under a Stormwater General Permit (VAR 10) issued pursuant to the Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) and the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and implementing regulations (9 VAC et seq.). As required by the Stormwater General Permit, included herein, a SWPPP has been prepared for this project. The SWPPP is incorporated in the Project Manual and is intended to control waterborne pollutant discharges in stormwater by some combination of interception, filtration and containment. The SWPPP requires that all land disturbing activities and associated pollution prevention measures be documented, inspected and maintained throughout the construction phase of the project until final stabilization is achieved and a Notice of Termination has been sent to VDEQ. The Owner has also developed an Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Control plan for this project. The approved E&S Control plans are incorporated into the SWPPP and shall be followed as part of the procedure for complying with the SWPPP. 3.0 COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES: A. Contractor Review and Acknowledgment of SWPPP; Inspections Conducted by Qualified Personnel: The Contractor and all subcontractor(s) involved in earthwork / land disturbing activities shall: 1) Review and comply with the SWPPP. 2) Execute the Contractor Delegation of Authority Form by an officer of the Contractor s Company, include it in the SWPPP and return a copy of the same to the Owner prior to commencement of construction (see Section III K of the General Permit for Signatory Requirements). 3) Sign the Contractor s Acknowledgement Form, include it in the SWPPP and return a copy of the same to the Owner prior to commencement of construction. 4) Ensure that all site personnel involved in earthwork operations / land disturbing activities are identified in and understand the requirements of the SWPPP. 5) Indicate in the SWPPP the names of all subcontractors involved in earthwork/land disturbing activities, submit Contractor s Acknowledgement Forms signed by all subcontractors performing earthwork/land disturbing activities to the Owner prior to commencement of construction and maintain copies of the same in the SWPPP. 1
