This is a General Conditions and Standard Specifications document from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland, serving as the technical standards and procedural guidelines for the Water and Wastewater Engineering Services Basic Ordering Agreement. The specifications document, released in 2026, provides comprehensive technical requirements across 13 divisions and multiple sections covering general conditions, sitework, concrete, masonry, metals, and special construction. The related contract opportunity requires sealed responses submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal by 2:00 pm on Monday, May 18, 2026, with late submissions rejected. WSSC seeks a qualified consultant to provide comprehensive water and wastewater engineering services including asset armoring and rehabilitation design, urgent collection and distribution system asset rehabilitation designs, inspections, assessments, evaluations, project management, monthly reporting, design services, engineering and technical support, and emergency engineering services. The specifications address water distribution systems, sanitary sewage systems, pressure sewer systems, various rehabilitation methodologies including pipe bursting and chemical grouting, cathodic protection systems, and related infrastructure components.

The specifications document establishes detailed technical standards for materials, construction methods, and quality control procedures that will govern contractor performance under the basic ordering agreement. Key technical divisions include water distribution system specifications (available with either contractor-furnished or agency-furnished materials), sanitary sewage and pressure sewer system specifications, sewer rehabilitation technologies such as main and lateral lining, closed circuit television inspection, manhole rehabilitation, and pipe bursting systems. Additional specifications cover temporary erosion and sediment control, geosynthetics, slope and watercourse protection, horizontal directional drilling, microtunneling, and cathodic protection systems for corrosion control. The document does not specify pricing terms, funding amounts, or set-aside information within the table of contents provided, though these details would typically be contained in the main contract solicitation and award documentation.
