About this file
This document is a Construction Specification for the Ocean Spray project in Middleborough, Massachusetts. Cornerstone Energy Services, Inc. has been retained by Middleborough Gas and Electric (MGED) to perform engineering services and oversee the fabrication and installation of additional overpressure and backflow protection to the existing MGED meter assembly located within the Ocean Spray campus. The work will conform to applicable federal and state pipeline safety regulations. The contractor must be qualified to perform the covered tasks, minimize damage to surrounding infrastructure, and properly dispose of all debris and excess materials.
The specification outlines detailed requirements for materials, installation, concrete work, pipe welding, coating, pressure testing, and bolting procedures. It includes specific torque tables and values for various pipe sizes and flange classes. The contractor will be responsible for providing concrete testing, welding inspection, and a final report with torque values. The project appears to be funded by MGED, but the document does not mention pricing, set asides, incumbents, or funding sources.
