About this file
This addendum to the Scope of Work addresses Site Water Utility Distribution Piping specifications for Fire Station 227 (Project FS 227 33 1416) under Santa Margarita Groundwater Management District (SBMWD) standards. The work includes installation of water pipes for site conveyance lines, pipe valves, fire hydrants, and backflow prevention assemblies. Specific products required include PVC pipe meeting ASTM D1785 Schedule 40 specifications with solvent-welded joints, copper tubing (Type K, 1-inch through 2-inch), gate valves conforming to AWWA Standard C509 from approved manufacturers including ACIPCO, American R/D, Clow, Mueller, and American AVK, and wet-barrel fire hydrants conforming to AWWA C503 with two 2.5-inch hose outlets and one 4-inch pumper outlet. The specification also requires reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies meeting ASSE 1047 and NSF 61 standards with sizes ranging from 2.5-inch to 10-inch NPS, water meters approved by SBMWD, and restrained joints in conformance with SBMWD standards.
Installation requirements mandate compliance with SBMWD Standard Specifications and Drawings for Construction of Domestic Water Systems, including proper trenching, backfill procedures, valve positioning four inches from hydrants, and coating of aboveground installations. Testing and disinfection must be performed in accordance with AWWA C651, utilizing chlorine disinfection at minimum 50 parts per million with a 24-hour contact time, followed by flushing to residual chlorine levels not exceeding 1.2 parts per million. The contractor bears responsibility for material supply, labor, equipment, hydrostatic testing, and initial certification of backflow prevention devices, with annual maintenance and testing thereafter assigned to the owner. All bacteriological testing must be conducted by SBMWD Water Quality at laboratories certified by the California Department of Health Services, and new facilities must be isolated from the existing public system during testing using test plates or physical disconnects.
