AIS_SUBMITTAL_MATERIAL_CHECKLIST.pdf

This is an American Iron and Steel (AIS) Material Checklist for Road Sewer Projects issued by the Pipeline Design Division in May 2023, applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The checklist documents required AIS-compliant materials for the Chilton Drive Sewer Rehabilitation project, which involves the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of 1,270 linear feet (0.24 miles) of defective sewer mains, 856 linear feet (0.16 miles) of defective sewer laterals, and ten (10) manholes located in the Paint Branch Basin. Sealed responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater no later than 2:00 pm on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. The checklist indicates that the following materials must comply with AIS requirements: manhole frames, covers, and bolts; reinforced concrete pipe (RCP); reinforced concrete; ductile iron pipe (DIP); saddles; and coupling/adapters. Notably, cleanout frames, covers, and bolts, as well as precast manholes, are marked as not required for this project.

The checklist serves as a compliance verification tool to ensure all submitted materials meet federal AIS standards for Buy American requirements. The document does not address pricing terms, set-asides, or funding sources, as it functions primarily as a specification and verification document rather than a procurement solicitation with financial details. Bidders must ensure that all applicable materials listed in the checklist are certified and documented with appropriate certificate numbers prior to submittal to meet project requirements.
