The scope of work for this project at Tobyhanna Army Depot is to replace

the existing sanitary, water and storm systems and repave existing

roadways as shown in the design plans and according to the project

breakout and phasing as demonstrated in the Design Analysis Report. The

new storm system and roadways will only be installed in the Army Depot's

secured Industrial Area generally defined as the area within First Street

to Sixth Street and Gibbs Street to Myer Street and including Electronics

Drive.

The existing sanitary sewer mains will be removed and replaced generally

in place with new PVC mains, and existing manholes will be replaced with

precast concrete manholes. Sanitary sewer service lines to adjacent

buildings will be replaced to within 5 feet of the building and new

cleanouts will be installed. Some existing sanitary manholes and mains

will be abandoned in place and filled with flowable fill as depicted in

the design plans.

The existing water mains, valves and fire hydrants will be replaced

generally, in place with new ductile iron mains, valves and fire hydrants

and protective bollards. Water and fire connections to the mains will be

re-connected to the new mains as depicted in the design plans. Some

existing water mains will be abandoned in place and filled with flowable

fill as depicted in the design plans. Install new air vacuum valves and

vaults as shown in the design plans.

Portions of the existing storm system within the Industrial Area will be

replaced and supplemented with new RCP pipe and precast concrete inlets.

Portions of the existing storm system mains to the outfalls will be lined

as depicted in the design plans. Connections to the storm sewer mains

from building downspouts will be provided as depicted in the design plans.

The paving of the main roadway network within the Industrial Area will be

replaced with new paving to enable more efficient and sufficient drainage

of storm runoff. Affected sidewalks will be replaced and parking areas

will be milled and overlaid as shown in the design plans. New striping

for travel way lines, parking areas and crosswalks will be replaced in

kind or as otherwise shown on the design plans.
