Embankment02212 - 5

and filling shall be performed in a manner and sequence that will provide proper drainage at all times. Material required for fill or embankment in excess of that produced by excavation within the grading limits shall be excavated from the borrow areas indicated or from other approved areas selected by the Owner.

4. Excavation of Ditches, Gutters, and Channels: Care shall be taken not to excavate ditches andgutters below grades shown. Excessive open-ditch or gutter excavation shall be backfilled withsuitable materials to grades indicated at no additional cost. Materials excavated shall bedisposed as indicated, except that in no case shall material be deposited less than 3 ft. (1 m) fromthe edge of a ditch. Contractor shall maintain excavations free from debris until final acceptanceof the work.

6. Protection or Removal of Utility Lines: Existing Utilities that are indicated to be retained, or thelocations of which have been ascertained from Owner utility drawings, as well as utility linesencountered during excavation, shall be protected from damage during excavation andbackfilling. However, reliance on the information obtained from Owner drawings does notabsolve the Contractor of responsibility for damages, so careful hand methods shall be used toverify the location of underground utilities. Damage shall be reported immediately andsatisfactorily repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost. The Contractor shall providesketches of existing conditions if there are variances, as well as any modifications, on "as-built"drawings.

Sump Pump

1.01 GENERAL:

The contractor shall provide labor, material, equipment, and incidentals required to provide 1 (QTY) centrifugal pumps as

specified herein. The pump models covered in this specification are ELV Series single phase pumps. The pump furnished for

this application shall be model _ELV_250____________as manufactured by Liberty pumps or Approved Equal.

2.01 OPERATING CONDITIONS:

Each submersible pump shall be rated for _1/3___hp, _115____ volts, single phase, 60 Hz, & 3450 RPM. The unit shall produce

_50____G.P.M. at __23____ feet of total dynamic head.

The submersible pump shall be capable of handling water with _____ solid handling capability. The submersible pump shall

have a maximum flow of __45___ GPM @ 5 feet of total dynamic head.

The pump shall be controlled with:

The manual pump is connected to a control which has the ability to prevent oil from being pumped from the vault. This same

control unit will activate an alarm when an oil “film” is detected or when a high water condition exits. The system will continue to

monitor and remove water from the vault even if an oil condition is detected.

3.01 CONSTRUCTION:

Each centrifugal sump pump shall be equal to the Certified ELV-Series pumps as manufactured by Liberty Pumps,

Bergen NY. The castings shall be constructed of class 25 cast iron. The motor housing shall be oil filled to dissipate heat. Air filled

motors shall not be considered equal since they do not properly dissipate heat from the motor. All mating parts shall be machined

and sealed with a Buna-N o-ring. All fasteners exposed to the liquid shall be stainless steel. The motor shall be protected on the

top side with sealed cord entry plate with molded pins to conduct electricity eliminating the ability of water to enter internally

through the cord. The motor shall be protected on the lower side with a unitized ceramic/carbon seal with stainless steel housings

and spring or engineered double lip seal with stainless steel springs. The pump shall be furnished with stainless steel handle.

4.01 ELECTRICAL POWER CORD

The submersible pump shall be supplied with a 25 feet of multiconductor power cord. It shall be cord type YELLOW

UL 16-3 SJEOOW 300V 105°C, capable of continued exposure to the pumped liquid. The power cord shall be sized for the rated

full load amps of the pump in accordance with the National Electric Code. The power cable shall not enter the motor housing

directly but will conduct electricity to the motor by means of a water tight compression fitting cord plate assembly, with molded pins

to conduct electricity. This will eliminate the ability of water to enter internally through the cord, by means of a damaged or wicking

cord.

5.01 MOTORS

Single phase motors shall be oil filled, permanent split capacitor, class B insulated NEMA B design, rated for continuous duty. At

maximum load the winding temperature shall not exceed 130 degrees C unsubmerged. Since air filled motors are not capable of

dissipating heat they shall not be considered equal. The pump motor shall have an integral thermal overload switch in the

windings for protecting the motor. The capacitor circuit shall be mounted internally in the pump.

6.01 BEARINGS AND SHAFT

An upper sleeve and lower ball bearing shall be required. The lower ball bearing shall be a single ball / race type bearing. Both

bearings shall be permanently lubricated by the oil, which fills the motor housing. The motor shaft shall be made of 300 or 400

series stainless steel.

7.01 SEALS

The pump shall have a unitized carbon / ceramic seal with stainless steel housings and spring, or engineered double lip seal with

stainless steel springs. The motor plate / housing interface shall be sealed with a Buna-N o-ring.

8.01 IMPELLER

The impeller shall be vortex style made of an engineered polymer, with pump out vanes on the back shroud to keep debris away

from the seal area. It shall be threaded to the motor shaft.

9.01 CONTROLS

The control unit has three probes and a float ball switch. The pump will activate when the middle probe contacts water, and will

remain on until the first, longest probe no longer is in contact with water. A high water alarm is activated when third or shortest

probe contacts water. The system will ignore a small film of oil, however larger volumes of oil will be detected when the alarm

probe does not detect water and the float ball activates. The system will continue to operates, removing water not oil from the

vault even when oil has been detected.

10.01 PAINT

The exterior of the casting shall be protected with powder coat paint.
