14. Avoid design of excessive slopes for larger flows at right angle turns.
15. Specifically address meter and service line requirements.
16. Provide material information/specifications for all proposed work.
17. Carefully check specifications to establish that County standards are not exceeded,
unless intentionally doing so. The approved plans will be enforced.
18. All road crossing and pavement cuttings shall be in accordance with requirements of
the particular authority governing the area.

22. Design shall take into consideration the Martin County Code provisions that govern
water and sewer and other regulatory requirements that may apply.
23. The design engineer shall provide a hydraulic analysis of the water and wastewater
transmission systems including a fire flow analysis. Network modeling of pressure
pipe systems shall be provided using WaterCad/WaterGEMS by Haestad Methods,
Inc. Version 6.0 for Windows. If a WaterCad file is provided, the presentation file
must be included with it for use with WaterGEMS. Higher versions may be accepted
upon department approval. Submittals shall include two copies each of the input
and output data for each scenario and 24"x 36" plots of each scenario showing a
scale layout of the project including annotated lots, road right-of-ways and names,
phase lines, multifamily and commercial/industrial use boundaries and proposed
equivalent residential connections, color coded and annotated pipe sizes and
pressure contours, nodes and node numbers, legend, north arrow, scale, scenario
description and date. Scenarios shall include but not be limited to average daily flow,
maximum daily flow plus fire flow and peak hour flow. A copy of the
WaterCad/WaterGEMS file(s) shall be submitted on CD Rom.
