About this file
This is a standard specifications document issued by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland for water distribution system construction where the contractor furnishes all materials. The specifications establish comprehensive requirements for constructing approximately 11,000 linear feet of 1-inch through 2-inch water house connections and related water main installations at various locations in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland on an annual basis. The work includes furnishing and installing ductile iron pipe (DIP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, valves, fire hydrants, fittings, service connections, and meter settings. Key materials specifications detail zinc-coated DIP meeting AWWA C151 Class 54, alternative externally coated pipe for cathodic protection systems, PVC AWWA C900 pressure pipe, copper service lines, and various valve types including resilient-seated gate valves, double disc gate valves, air valves, pressure reducing valves, and check valves. The contractor must submit shop drawings, manufacturer certifications, tapping personnel qualifications, and handling procedures for approval before material delivery. All pipe must be installed with proper joint assemblies, V-Bio polyethylene encasement, and detectable warning tape; PVC installations require tracer wire and continuity test stations every 500 feet or at specified locations.
Installation requirements mandate hydrostatic testing at specified pressures depending on pipe diameter, with allowable leakage calculated using AWWA formulas, and conductivity testing for PVC pipe before substantial completion. The contractor must handle all trench excavation, bedding, backfill, valve installations, fire hydrant connections, and service connection taps to existing mains, including temporary bypass systems during main shutdowns. Specialized work includes linestop installations, insertion valves, tapping sleeve assemblies, and connections to existing cast iron, ductile iron, and PVC pipe. Tapping personnel must be regularly engaged in water main tapping with documented experience of at least three taps of 4 inches through 12 inches within the last 12 months or ten within the last five years. Payment is made by linear foot for pipe and service connections at unit prices listed in the bid schedule, with separate unit prices for fire hydrants, structures, meter vaults, casing pipe, and other appurtenances. All materials must be chlorinated and tested for bacteriological approval before placement in service, and the contractor bears all costs for repairs, replacements, and retesting if initial test results are unsatisfactory.
