by 100 feet\] (30 m by 30 m) \[as designated and staked by the
Contracting Officer.\]**

**B. Grading: Minimize surface disturbance at sites. However, level

Construction shall be as staked by the Contracting Officer. Resultant
cut or fill slopes shall not be steeper than 4:1, unless staked
otherwise.**

**C. Examination: Examine areas, equipment foundations, and conditions
with Installer present for compliance with requirements for installation
and other conditions affecting performance of plumbing pumps. Do not
proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.**

**1. Examine roughing-in of plumbing piping systems to verify actual
locations of piping connections prior to pump installation.**

**3.2 INSTALLATION**

**A. Hand Lift Pump: Install according to the manufacturer\'s
instructions.**

**B. Pump Jack: Install according to the manufacturer\'s instructions.**

**C. Submersible Pump: Install according to the manufacturer\'s
instructions. Do not energize submersible pumps which are not immersed
in water for more than 3 seconds at not less than 10‑minute intervals,
unless written approval is obtained from the manufacturer to do
otherwise. \[Check three-phase pumps for proper connection and
rotation.\]**

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

**WHEN THE CONTROL BOX IS SOME DISTANCE FROM THE WELL, A JUNCTION BOX
MAY BE DESIRABLE AT THE WELL. THIS WOULD PREVENT THE USE OF THE DROP
CABLE BETWEEN THE WELL AND THE CONTROL BOX.**

**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\***

**D. Conductors:**

**1. General: Install the required wiring, controls and junction boxes,
complete, from the point of supply to the \[\_\_\_\_\] pump. Carefully
lower the drop pipe taking care not to drag the conductor over the
casing edge or allow the conductor to become pinched. As the drop pipe
is lowered in the well, check continuity and resistance at each joint
with an ohmmeter.**

**2. Splicing: No splices will be permitted in the drop cable between
the motor splice and the surface control unit. Splices in other
locations shall be as recommended by the manufacturer.**

**3. Clamps: Use a stainless steel clamp below each drop pipe joint,
tying the electrical conductors to the drop pipe. The Contractor shall
protect the conductors at each stainless steel clamp with a 75 mm
(3-inch) long piece of polyethylene plastic pipe split on one side and
placed around the drop pipe between the cable and clamp.**

**4. Taping: Tape the conductor to the drop pipe with 3/4-inch (19 mm)
plastic tape at intervals not to exceed 7 feet (2 m). Use a minimum of 4
turns of tape at each tie point.**

**E. Check Valve: Install at an average spacing of 100 feet (30 m) (not
equally spaced). Install a check valve one length of drop pipe above the
pump.**

**F. Centering Guides: Install on plastic drop pipe, one every pipe
length.**

**G. Torque Arrestor: Install on plastic drop pipe, one every pipe
length.**

**H. Pump Foundation: Construct according to the drawings.**

**I. Well Screen: Shall be according to Section 02672 ‑ Well Drilling
and Casing.**

**J. Well Platform: Construct according to Section 02670 ‑ Water
Wells.**

**K. Electrical Service: Shall be according to Section 16405 ‑
Electrical Service.**

**L. Electrical Controls: Shall be according to Section 16912 ‑ Pump
Controls.**

**M. Electrical Wires and Cables: Shall be according to Section 16120 -
Wires and Cables.**

**3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL**

**A. Hand Lift Pump: When the hand lift pump and well equipment are
installed, operate the installation in the presence of the Contracting
Officer for a period of at least 10 minutes.**

**B. Pump Jack: When the pump jack and well equipment are installed,
operate the installation for a minimum of 2 hours at normal operating
speed. Determine pumping rate and furnish the test results to the
Contracting Officer.**

**C. Submersible Pump: **

**1. General: After installation is completed, operate the pump, at
design capacity, in the presence of the Contracting Officer for a period
of at least 2 hours. When the power source is not available, provide a
compatible power source, at the Contractor\'s expense, for the required
testing. Also provide temporary lines for the safe discharge of test
water as approved by the Contracting Officer.**

**2. Insulation: After installation, test insulation resistance between
windings and between each stator winding and frame. Insulation
resistance values less than 1/2 megohm are not acceptable.**

**3. Load Current: Measure motor current in each phase conductor with
the motor operating at the highest normal load to which it may be
subjected. Compare current readings to nameplate full‑load‑current
ratings. Report to the Contracting Officer readings higher than the
nameplate rating. Record current readings for motors 0.37 kW (1/2 hp)
and larger.**

**3.4 PROTECTION**

**A. Disinfection: Shall be according to \[Section 02670 ‑ Water
Wells.\] \[Section 02674 ‑ Water Well Drilling and Casing.\]**

**B. Capping Well: Shall be according to \[Section 02670 ‑ Water
Wells.\] \[Section 02674 ‑ Water Well Drilling and Casing.\]**
