Task 10.Outlet Works Design <br /> Drawings and Technical Specifications will be developed for the outlet works portion of the project. <br /> Drawing and specification format and progress submittals will be the same as described under Task 7. The <br /> design of the outlet works will include lining the lower portion of the tunnel with an 11-foot diameter steel <br /> pipeline,a buried pipeline between the downstream tunnel portal,and a new outlet valve house. The valve <br /> house will be a reinforced concrete structure that supports and encloses guard valves and hollow jet control <br /> valves. A small steel control building will be designed to sit atop the valve house for protection of the valve <br /> actuators and control equipment. A plunge pool will be designed downstream of the outlet valves to prevent <br /> erosion of the stream bed. Armoring of the right and left embankments to prevent valve discharge erosion <br /> will also be included in the design. <br /> Provisions will be made in the design to accommodate the addition of future hydropower generation to the <br /> facility. This is assumed to include a 72-in.diameter,or larger,tap in the outlet conduit upstream of the <br /> hollow jet valves. The excavation for the valve house will be designed such that the rock at the right <br /> abutment allows for the future powerhouse excavation to be accomplished in proximity to the valve house. <br /> A combination trash rack/bulkhead gate structure will be designed for the upstream tunnel portal. The <br /> objective of this structure is to provide upstream isolation of the outlet tunnel. This will allow the outlet <br /> tunnel and outlet works to be"unwatered"for inspection and maintenance without requiring reservoir draw <br /> down. <br /> Deliverables: 30 percent,90 percent,and 100 percent Drawings and Technical Specifications <br /> Task 11 QAUQC <br /> Each product produced for the District will be independently reviewed by D&A senior project staff that are <br /> fully familiar with the type of work,but not involved in the day to day execution of the particular product. <br /> The reports and memoranda will be reviewed for adherence to industry standards and engineering practice, <br /> accuracy of calculations,and compliance with our agreement with the District. Design drawings and <br /> specifications will be reviewed at the 90 percent level of completion for the following: <br /> • Discipline Review(each of civil,structural,mechanical,electrical and I&C) <br /> • Interdisciplinary Review(cross checking between disciplines) <br /> • Constructability Review <br /> • Specification Review <br /> • Cost Estimate Review <br /> • Final Red/Yellow Check <br /> The District and stakeholder comments will be addressed and responded to at each level of design <br /> completion. <br /> Deliverables: Fully checked Bid Ready Contract Documents,Memoranda and Reports <br /> Task 12-Cost Estimating <br /> Cost estimates will be prepared for the work at the 30 percent,90 percent,and 100 percent levels of <br /> completion. The estimates will be based on quantity takeoffs,material and equipment pricing,labor cost and <br /> productivity,and estimates of contractor's bonds,insurance and overhead and profit. The early estimates <br /> will carry greater uncertainty and therefore greater contingency. A final engineer's estimating contingency <br /> of 10 percent will be applied to the job. <br /> - 7- <br />
