CI 5634 HCTP In-Plant Meter Replacement

The project at the Hill Canyon Treatment Plant in Camarillo, California, involves the removal and replacement of five magnetic flow meters ranging from 4-inch to 36-inch diameter, with installation of City-provided Endress+Hauser models, modification of an existing concrete vault deck to accommodate a larger access hatch for the 24-inch meter, and reconnection of power and communication conduits. The Contractor is responsible for transporting, loading, unloading, and installing the meters, procuring bolt, nut, and gasket kits, and ensuring all work complies with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction ("Greenbook"), the latest editions of the City of Thousand Oaks Water and Wastewater Standards, Road Standards, and applicable building codes including the International Building Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electric Code, and California Title 24 and Title 19. All materials must be delivered in undamaged, manufacturer-sealed packaging and stored according to manufacturer instructions, with 100 percent of uncontaminated packaging materials salvaged or recycled. The scope includes assisting the City with final SCADA and electrical connectivity, while the City handles the final landing of conductors and system integration.
