The outside diameter of the unit shall not exceed six inches and connected to a drop pipe that ex tends beyond the top of the well casing and capable of producing a minimum yield of 500 gallons per minute. The motor shall be capable of continuous operation under water at the specified conditions outlined above. A suitable thrust bearing shall be inco rporated in the lower end of the motor adequate to receive the entire hydraulic thrust load of the pump unit plus the weight of the rotating parts regardless of rotation. The motor shall be 15 HP, have a 1.15 service factor and suitable for use on 460/230 volt, three phase, 60 Hz electrical service. The motor/pump unit shall be positioned within 15 to 20 of well bottom. The motor leads shall be of sufficient length so that they may be spliced above the bowl assembly and the leads shall be protected by a type 304 stainless steel cable guard held in place with stainless steel banding. As the motor leads exit the top of the cable guard it shall be properly protec ted to prevent damaging or cutting the lead by the cable guard material. B. ELECTRICAL REPAIRS Electrical Service Box: The service panel box shall be Square D Well Guard Class 8940 of NEMA Type 3R and will be connected to the electrical service through a visible blade, fused, disconnect switch suitable for irrigation purposes. The motor starter sho uld be a NEMA size 2 (Square D 8502SDO2) with adjustable instantaneous overcurrent protection (Square D Motor Logic Class 9065 Type SS210). The box will have a lightning arresting device installed according to NEC Article 250 Section III and shall be grou nded according to NEC Article 675. The electrical service panel box shall be mounted on an insect and decay resistant (treated) post and have a weather head suited for line connection by the power association. Mounting and post dimensions shall comply wi th regulations established by Twin County Electric Power Association. Panel boxes shall not be mounted to utility poles owned by the power association. Cable: Cable shall be sized to limit the voltage drop to no more than 5%. The cable shall have three separate conductors and a ground and shall be included in a single continuous jacketed assembly. The cable should be the length of the discharge pipe pl us fifteen feet to extend from the surface plate to the electrical controller. The cable should be adequately secured to the discharge pipe by plastic ties, or other non metallic means, at 10 foot intervals. C. REPAIR OR REPLACE POND FILL LINES AND BUTTERFLY VALVES Pipe and Connectors: In no event shall underground pond fill piping be repaired using less than 8 inch Plastic Irrigation Pipe (PIP). A metal or PVC pond valve capable of controlling flow must be secured on the outflow of each fill line. All PVC pipe mu st be assembled utilizing PVC cleaner and PVC pipe glue. If the disconnection of underground piping is required during well repair or new well installation, the Contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and supplies to reconnect the piping to the new or repaired well head. D. REPAIR OR REPLACE POND DRAIN PIPES AND BUTTERFLY VALVES Pipe and Connectors: In no event shall pond drain piping be replaced using less than 10 PIP. Steel pipe being replaced shall be excavated and removed from the pond levee. The overall length of the PVC pipe shall be the same length as the steel pipe bei ng removed (+/- 5 feet). The PVC pipe being replaced shall be placed in the approximate location as the pipe being removed. Each drain pipe shall extend through the levee and approximately 10 15 on either side of the levee depending on length of pipe being removed. The exterior end of the pipe shall be fitted with a drain T and adjustable valve capable of controlling flow. The drain T shall also be fitted with a stand pipe cut to the length necessary to hold no more than 24 of water on the interior of each pond. The Contractor may be required to fit a slotted pipe on the interior end of the pipe to prevent large debris from clogging the drain pipe but allowing small trash to flow freely. E. NEW WELL INSTALLATION Wells shall be a minimum of 10 inch PVC and completed to a minimum depth of 90 feet below grade. The length of well screen, length of riser pipe, and interval of filter pack placement and grout shall be conducted in accordance with State laws. All drilli ng mud shall be a fluid media composed of water and bentonite clay readily thinned with commercial mud thinners or biodegradable polymer mud that will break down naturally. The specific gravity and the character of the fluid shall be such that the product ion of the aquifer will not be impaired. Well screen shall be of PVC type. Screen openings shall be uniform in size and pattern, and shall be spaced equally around the circumference of the pipe. Screen in adequate length for all wells drilled shall be s upplied by the Contractor. Each of the wells shall be fitted with a m inimum of 60 linear feet of screen. Each well shall be fitted with approximately 30 feet of riser pipe. Well filter material shall consist of well-graded, clean sand, manufactured by dry processing. The filter material shall be free from adherent coati ng and shall not consist of crushed stone. The Contractor shall provide a neat cement grout, Type I or II Portland Cement conforming to ASTM C 150, and water. The grout mixture shall have a weight of at least 15 lbs/gallon. No more than five percent by weight of bentonite powder may be added to the cement grout to reduce shrinkage. Each well shall be constructed in a manner that meets the regulatory requirements of the Mississippi Office of Land and Water Resources. Methods of construction shall include using drilling mud for conventional fluid rotary drilling. Minimum diameter of the final hole for the well shall result in a minimal annular space of approximately four inches between the outside of the well and the borehole wall. All riser pipe and screen shall be in good condition before installation and all couplings and other ac cessory parts shall be securely fastened in place. The successive lengths of pipe shall be arranged to provide accurate placement of the screen sections in the bore hole. Centralizers shall be attached to the assembled riser pipe and screen in such numbe rs and of a type that they will satisfactorily center the riser pipe and screen in the well and will hold it securely in position while the filter pack material is placed. Following placement of the well screen, the entire annular space between the screen and the outside wall of the borehole shall be filled with filter pack material. The filter envelope shall extend a minimum of one foot below the base of the screen to two feet above the top of the well screen. The speed of filter material placement shall be controlled to prevent bridging and to allow for settlement. A two (2) foot thick bentonite seal shall be placed over the filter pack to prevent intrusion of grout into the screened interval. The riser pipe shall be grouted from the top of the bentoni te seal to land surface using a tremie pipe or other method approved by the Mississippi Office of Land and Water Resources. The grouting operation shall be carried out in one continuous operation. The cement grout shall meet the specifications outlined a bove. The pump intake for each well shall be set 60 feet below the top of the casing. The Contractor shall also provide and install drop pipes, electrical control boxes, and wire for each pump. The pumps shall be operated for a period of 20 minutes afte r installation to assure correct motor polarity and visually validate water supply.
