I.  PROJECT DESCRIPTION  The Town of Princeton currently has two specific residences that are experiencing failed septic systems for their sewer services. This project would extend service to these two users, along with at third in the direct vicinity. The sewage would be collected into a small grinder pump station to be located behind the potential customer's properties and transferred via force main to the Town's existing gravity sewer system approximately 750 LF from the proposed pump station site. This project would provide much needed sewer service to disadvantaged customers with failing septic systems. A gravity sewer extension to these customers would not be possible given the existing gravity sewer depth and minimum slope requirements. The Town will own and  operate the proposed pump station and force main once installed.  II. SCOPE OF SERVICES  Services to be provided by TRC under this task order will include the following:  Task A. Engineering Report  This task will include the development of an engineering report per NC DEQ SRF requirements. These will generally include background information for the project, an analysis of alternatives, and a recommendation on how to proceed with design and  construction.    Mayor Don Rains Holts Pond Road Lift Station September 22, 2023, Page 20 of5  Task B. Surveying and Easement  This task will include the site boundary and topographic survey for the proposed pump station site, along with any survey needed for the proposed force main. The survey will include the drafting of a Minor Subdivision Plat of the subject parcel, including the proposed force main utility easement, for use by the Town Attorney in recording the  appropriate deeds.  Task C. Engineering Design  Subtask CIPansandadfication:  This subtask includes the development of engineering plans and specifications to submit to NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and other applicable agencies for review and approval. Plans will include drawings of all required plans, profles, sections, and details. Planswill be developedi inaccordancewitha applicable local, State, and Federal standards. Temporary sediment and erosion control measures willl be designed, and appropriate details will be provided. Traffic Control plans will be designed for work within the public rights of way. The final design package will include bid-ready documents formatted in a manner that will allow general contractors to price thework.Acomplete projectmanual will be generated toi include the appropriate technical specifications and contract documents. The contract documents will be assembled using standard EJCDC Funding Agency edition secitions and any additional contract special conditions required by the NCDEQ- SRF section (funding agency). TRC will assist in the development of an advertisement for bids, as well as communication with NC DEQ and NCDOT on behalf of the Town. Following regulatory approvals, the plans and project manual will be finalized and compiled into a construction documents package.  Subtask C2BidServices  TRC will submit the construction documents to the appropriate online plan rooms and oversee a prebid meeting with potential bidders, respond to contractorsubcontactor questions and requests for information as it relates to the design in the form of Addenda.
