will protect the Village and Contractor from claims under workmen's compensation
laws, disability benefit laws or other similar employee laws; from claims for
damages because of bodily injury, occupational sickness or disease, or death of his
employees, or any person other than his employees, including claims insured by
usual personal injury liability coverage; from claims for injury to or destruction of
tangible property including loss of use resulting therefrom — any or all of which may
arise out of or result from the Contractor's operations under the Contract
Documents, whether such operations be by any Subcontractor or anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any of them or for whose acts may be legally liable. This
insurance shall be written for not less than $1,000,000.00 combine single limit per
occurrence (no aggregate limitation) or as required by law, whichever is greater, and
shall include contractual liability insurance. Before starting the work, the Contractor
will file with the Village and Engineer certificates of such insurance, acceptable to
the \Tillage, these certificates shall contain a provision that the coverage afforded
under the policies will not be cancelled or materially changed until at least 15 days
after written notice is given to the Village and Engineer. These policies shall be
written to cover Village and Village's Engineer as additionally insured.

SCOPE OF WORK AND
SPECIFICATIONS
EXHIBIT 2
SCOPE OF WORK AND SPECIFICATIONS
The overall goal of this project is to rehabilitate and improve the irrigation system at the Village
Green. The existing system was completed in 1996. Since then, certain modifications have
taken place such as the removal of the booster pump. The irrigation system as currently
configured and performing is not capable of providing adequate coverage to the irrigated areas.
The Village hired Rosenberg Gardner Design earlier this year to evaluate the existing system and
make recommendations to rehabilitate and improve the system to adequate performance levels.
The attached report (dated August 25, 2011) describes their findings and recommendations, and
specifies the work to be done to accomplish the rehabilitation and improvement. The Contractor
shall perform the work as described in the report, the Proposed Bid Form and on the as -built
drawings attached hereto.
EXH 2 - 1 01108-031.02.03
ROSENBERG GARDNER DESIGN
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AND LAND PLANNING
PURPOSE:
The intent of these notes and details is to prepare a method for the testing, evaluation
and rehabilitation of the existing irrigation system at Village Green Park in Key Bis-
cayne, Florida.
PRELIMINARY TESTING:
The primary task is to evaluate the
effectiveness of the supply to the ex-
isting system. The first step in this
process was to have the Irrigation
Contractor perform tests on the sys-
tem. Lemus Irrigation, Inc. per-
formed these tests and prepared a
report (Appendix A) and determined
that the available pressure was in-
sufficient to properly run the system.
In synopsis, the report consisted of
a few sections. They are the deter-
mination of the existing equipment,
pressure testing of the system, de-
termination of the system requirements as designed, a summary of the findings and
the Irrigation Contractor's recommendations.
Existing Equipment
The system is being fed from a 3"
water meter with a 3" DCA Wilkins
Model 950 backflow preventer. The
3" PVC main line feeds 2" Irritrol 100
and 200 Series Solenoid Valves.
The irrigation heads are either Rain -
bird Falcon 6500 heads (light
brown) or Toro 2001 (dark brown)
and are spaced about 53' on center.
Pressure Testing
The static pressure was tested with
one oil filled pressure gauge at the
2
ROSENBERG
GARDNER
DESIGN �
3
inlet and another at the discharge side of the backflow preventer and the dynamic
pressure was calculated for three different zones.
It was determined that there was significant pressure loss in the both the water meter
and backflow preventer (8 PSI each) and the available dynamic pressure for the
tested zones was only 53-54 PSI.
Determination of System Requirements
To determine if the available pressure was sufficient for the proposed system, it was
necessary to determine the system's requirements. This is basically a function of de-
termining the required pressure (PSI) and flow (GPM).
The Irrigation Contractor's testing revealed that with the available pressures the zones
could handle approximately 70 GPM. The As-Builts show that the zones are typically
approximately 110 GPM and will required 50 PSI (at the head).
Summary of Findings
In all, the available pressure is wholly insufficient for the system to function as de-
signed.
Irrigation Contractor's Recommendations
To have the system run properly, the Irrigation Contractor recommends that the exist-
ing water meter be replaced, a booster pump be installed that will provide the requisite
pressures and replacing the irrigation heads to the Rainbird Falcon 6500 Series rotor
heads. The Irrigation Contractor further recommends additional testing on the rest of
the system.
Rosenberg Gardner Design reviewed the report by Lemus Irrigation, Inc. and found it
to be complete and the report's recommendations appear accurate.
SECONDARY TESTING AND SYSTEM
REHABILITATION:
Of primary concern, is the installation of
a booster pump to increase the system's
available pressure. Rosenberg Gardner
Design contacted a local pump supplier
to assist in the recommendation of the
proper sized pump. Based upon the
available pressures and system de-
mands, Hoover Pumping Systems rec-
ROSENBERG D
GARD N E RA
DESIGN
ommended a 7.5hp pump. The specifications, details and electrical requirements of
this pump are included in Appendix B.
The Irrigation Contractor shall be responsible to hire any necessary Sub -Contractors
to perform work that is not able to be performed under their abilities.
After the installation of the booster pump and pressure tank the available pressures
will be sufficient to operate the system as designed.
While the exact supplier of the irrigation
head shall be established by the Vil-
lage of Key Biscayne, it is anticipated
that the heads will be the Rainbird Fal-
con 6504 Series Gear Driven Rotor
Heads with the appropriate nozzles.
These heads will be used to replace all
of the irrigation heads. Particular noz-
zles must be used depending on the
spray pattern. The nozzles shall be se-
lected according to following schedule:
For 90° radius pattern throw use a #4 nozzle
For 180° radius pattern throw use a #8 nozzle
For 270° radius pattern throw use a #12 nozzle
For 360° radius pattern throw use a #16 nozzle
It is imperative that the previous nozzle chart is utilized. By varying the nozzles for the
differing radius throws, consistent precipitation rates throughout the park will be en-
sured.
Secondary System Testing and Repair
Now ensured the system will be providing sufficient flow and pressure to fully operate
the system and that the correct irrigation heads are installed, it is possible to test the
rest of the system. The first step shall be to test the system visually. Prior to com-
mencement, ensure that all of the zone valves are fully open and haven't been shut
down manually.
The system shall be turned on at the controller and every zone shall be cycled
through allowing sufficient time to measure and record the throw of every head as well
as for sufficient time for "wet spots" caused by line breaks to become visible. If any of
these breaks are visible, the Irrigation Contractor shall immediate repair the break.

The spray throw shall reach the
adjacent head thereby ensuring
"head -to -head" coverage. All non-
functioning or inappropriate (not
conforming to the design parame-
ters) heads shall be replaced. Fur-
ther, heads that are not installed at
the correct elevation compared to
finish grade or plumb shall be ad-
justed. During this test all heads
shall be cleaned of debris regard-
less of whether they appear to be

zoned as noted on the plan. If there are any deviations from the As -Built drawings,
the Irrigation Contractor shall bring this to the immediate attention of RGD.
Once the testing of the individual zones is complete and repaired, the Irrigation Con-
tractor shall begin the testing of the main. Prior to commencement of the main line
pressure test, the Irrigation Contractor shall open every valve box and verify that there
is a gate valve that is fully operational and can be closed. If there is no gate valve
present, then one shall be installed.
All of the above mentioned gate valves shall be closed and main's pressure shall be
tested by pressurizing the main just after the booster pump. A pressure gauge shall
be installed at the end of the main furthest from the location of the pressurization
equipment and then the main shall be pressurized with water to 100 pounds per
square inch (PSI) for a period of

After the completion of this test-

DESIGN
ing, the piping and water throw of the irrigation system should function properly. The
Irrigation Contractor shall disassemble and remove all testing equipment, reconnect
the system and open the gate valves at the zone valves.
In recap, after this phase, the water meter should provide sufficient flow and the back -
flow preventer should function as required. There will be a booster pump and pres-
sure tank providing sufficient pressures. The main line will be able to withstand the
required pressures and will have no breaks. The valves will all function properly and
there will be gate valves in each valve box. Laterals will be free of breaks and the cor-
rect irrigation heads will be of the correct type, clear of debris and installed plumb on
swing joints at the correct elevation.
OTHER EQUIPMENT:
Controller and Rain Shut -Off Devices
The Village is in the process of deciding if the
existing irrigation controller will remain or if it will
be converted as part of a village -wide central
control system. At this point it should be as-
sumed that the existing controller will remain. If
it is determined that this central control system
will be required, then the proposed irrigation con-
troller will be furnished and installed as required.
The existing irrigation controller shall be re -wired
to ensure that zones are connected in a logical
order. For example, adjacent zones will be in
consecutive order. Additionally, the irrigation
system shall be equipped with a rain shut-off de-
vice such as a weather station, rain sensor or
soil moisture sensors. RGD will assist in the lo-
cation of these devices once it is determined
1 which shut-off devices are to be used.
The controller will be located in the booster pump enclosure.
Valve Boxes
All valve boxes shall be opened and excess soil shall be removed from the bottom of
the box to allow for the installation of a minimum of 6" of %" aggregate size gravel with
a minimum of 2" of clearance between the bottom of the valve and the top of the
ROSENBERG D

DESIGN wig
gravel. This includes the valve box
for the water meter.
The lids of all of the valve boxes
(except for the water meter) shall be
replaced with lockable lids.
If any leaks in solenoid or gate valves
are noted, the Irrigation Contractor
shall repair them immediately.

PROTECTION:
Protection of Existing Utilities, Structures
and Landscaping
The Irrigation Contractor is responsible
to preserve and protect existing facilities
from damage caused by this work. In
the event damage does occur, damage
shall be completely repaired to its origi-
nal condition at no additional cost to the Village. The proper utility companies shall be
contacted to stake the exact location of any underground lines including but not lim-
ited to electric, gas, telephone service, water, and cable prior to the commencement of
any work.
Any disruption or disturbance of any existing plant,
tree, shrub, or turf, or any structure shall by com-
pletely restored to the satisfaction of the Village at no
additional cost. The Irrigation Contractor shall be re-
sponsible to maintain pedestrian access and provide
protection to the public from any construction activi-
ties.
CLEANUP AND CLOSEOUT:
Cleanup
Prior to completion, the Irrigation Contractor shall thoroughly flush out the entire sys-
tem to remove dirt, debris and other particulates. All areas that have been disturbed
ROSENBERG D

DESIGN
by construction activities shall be returned to their previous condition prior to final ac-
ceptance.
Record Drawings
After completion of installation, the Irrigation Contractor shall furnish completed as -
built plans showing locations of water meter and backflow preventer assembly,
booster pump and pressure tank, mains, valves, laterals and irrigation heads with di-
mensions where required or necessary. The Irrigation Contractor shall furnish a re-
duced color -coded copy of the as -built drawings laminated in plastic and mounted in-
side the controller cover. Note the valve number on drawings and include same num-
ber on tag attached to valve, or engrave on outside cover of valve box.
Operation and Maintenance Manuals:
Prepare and deliver to the Village an index sheet stating the Irrigation Contractor's ad-
dress and business telephone number, list of equipment with names and addresses of
local manufacturers' representatives, catalog and parts sheet on every piece of equip-
ment installed and complete operating and maintenance instructions on major equip-
ment components. The Irrigation Contractor shall provide the Village's maintenance
personnel with instructions for the proper operation techniques for major equipment
and show evidence in writing to the Landscape Architect at the conclusion of the pro-
ject that these services have been rendered.
Warrantee:
The Irrigation Contractor shall fully warrant the irrigation system for a period of one
year after the written confirmation from the Landscape Architect that the warranty pe-
riod is in effect. During the warranty period, enforce manufacturer's and supplier's
warranties. Any malfunctions, deficiencies, breaks, damage, disrepair, or installations
by the Irrigation Contractor and his suppliers shall be immediately and properly cor-
rected to the proper order as directed by the Village or Landscape Architect. Make full
and immediate restoration for any damages caused by system malfunction at no addi-
tional cost to the Village.
Final Acceptance:
Prior to the final acceptance of the system's remediation, Rosenberg Gardner Design
and the Village will conduct a visual inspection of the operation of the system. During
this inspection, the Irrigation Contractor shall cycle through the system (operated from
the controller) and the system will be checked for valve installation, main and lateral
breaks and proper irrigation head installation ("head -to -head" coverage, no clogs,
plumb installation and proper elevation of heads). Until approval from the Village and
the Landscape Architect, the project shall not be considered "Accepted".
