About this file
This is a technical specification document for rough carpentry work prepared by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. for the West Pump Station Replacement Project, a construction initiative by Northwestern Chester County Municipal Authority in Pennsylvania. The specification outlines requirements for rough lumber, carpentry, and engineered wood products, including lumber framing, blocking, nailers, furring, and grounds for the pump station building and site improvements. The document references industry standards from the American Wood Preservers Association, APA - The Engineered Wood Association, ASTM International, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Submittals of product data and shop drawings are required per Section 01 33 00, and work must be coordinated according to Section 01 31 13 project coordination requirements. Bids for the general construction contract (WPS-1) were due online by Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM local time, with public bid opening following immediately.
The specification requires lumber materials compliant with NIST PS 20 standards, with grading specifications that include Standard and better for nominal sizes up to 2x4, and #2 and better for sizes up to 2 inches thick and wider than 4 inches. Preservative-treated material must be provided for all wood used outside the building or below grade, with field treatment of cuts and holes performed per AWPA M4 standards. Installation requirements mandate hot-dipped galvanized steel fasteners for high humidity and treated wood locations, secure anchoring to support applied loading, and proper shimming and leveling. The document specifies that wood exposed to moisture must dry completely before covering, and any wood showing bowing, warping, or twisting must be corrected or replaced to provide a suitable substrate for subsequent materials.
