Specifications include, but are not limited to: A) Construct an Alternative onsite sewage system that meets the location and construction specifications of the Virginia Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations (12VAC5-610-10 et seq., the Regulations). B) Construct the above Alternative onsite sewage disposal system in compliance with the Culpeper County Health Department Construction Permit 047-STS-27567/047-24-023 at 14014 Kelly’s Ford Road Elwood, Virginia 22718 in the location shown on the permit. The permit may contain additional conditions, notes, and information needed to construct the onsite sewage system. An onsite pre-construction meeting and a soil moisture evaluation is required with Nokesville Design prior to the commencement of the installation. C) Septic Pump-out Requirements: All bids shall include the cost to pumpout the contents of the existing septic tank by a properly licensed sewage hauler. To prevent sewage from backing into the home or erupting on property surface prior to the completion of the septic work, additional pumpouts of the contents of the existing septic tank by a properly licensed sewage hauler may be required on an as-needed basis. Bids should provide a cost-breakdown per additional pumpout. If multiple pumpouts are needed preauthorization will need to occur to allow for a change order for additional, justifiable pumpouts. If the permit requires work within or under the existing drainfield (as indicated in the Permit) additional monitoring and pumping of the existing septic tank may be required in order to allow for the drying out of the drainfield. In these cases, for one week prior to the installation or repair of the onsite sewage system the effluent level of the septic tank must be monitored so that it does not discharge into the pump chamber or dispersal field. The contents of the existing septic tank shall be pumped by a properly licensed sewage hauler to prevent sewage from entering the drainfield for one week prior to installation. D) Tree Removal and Site Clearing: A pre-bid site visit is recommended to determine what if any tree removal or site clearing that may need to occur. Per the above referenced Permit, remove any trees and wood debris as described in the permit and haul away wood and debris unless notified otherwise. Costs of tree removal and site clearing should be included in initial bids. Any additional site clearing, or tree removal required during installation must be submitted in writing to and approved by VDH in writing including an additional cost estimate. Any personal property items that will prohibit the contractor from accessing the site or installation of the new system is the responsibility of the homeowner to remove and should not be included in the bid. E) Provide, or subcontract with a licensed plumber and electrician to provide plumbing and electrical required to convey the wastewater from the house to the onsite sewage system as required by the Regulations and the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. This includes obtaining or assuring that the owner obtains all permits and inspections necessary by the local building authority in compliance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
