SPECIFICATIONS

1) In Section 02660 – Water Distribution, add the following to subsection 1.01 Scope of Work

X. The installation of service distribution pipes and valves, ranging in size from 4 inch to 12 inch in diameter, at various locations throughout the City shall be deducted from the allowance item for Large Diameter Service Installations.

1. The Contractor who participates in this contract agrees to perform the service distribution pipe installation with the utmost diligence and care. The objective is to install service distribution pipe with minimal disruption to customer service and normal traffic flow so as to avoid undo risk and inconvenience to the public.

3. The service distribution pipe shall extend 12 inches beyond the curb with a tightly sealed cap at the end of pipe. In the event of the existing distribution water main being located in the footway directly adjacent to the property, the service distribution pipe shall extend to a length as directed by the PWD Project Manager.

4. The connection to the existing distribution water main will require wet tapping and line stopping. This work will be completed by PWD Water Operations. The Contractor shall note that installation of service distribution pipe and valve shall follow the completion of the wet tap. The Contractor shall excavate a trench around the existing water main for PWD Water Operations to perform the wet tap. The Contractor shall coordinate work and schedule with PWD Water Operations providing a minimum of 3 days notification.

8/14/2026 Amendment 3 PG - 2 S-41221-RDG

5. The Contractor shall note that properties installing two fire connections a division valve shall be installed between the fire connections. This work shall be coordinated with PWD Water Operations.

Any damage to a transmission main is the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the City. The PWD Load Control Unit must be immediately notified if damage occurs or a transmission main shutdown is required.

11. The Contractor shall note that all existing utilities encountered during excavation and service distribution pipe installation must be supported and protected. Any damage to an existing utility is the responsibility of the Contractor at no additional cost to the City.

12. Attention is directed to the possibility of paved over SEPTA tracks on any of the assigned locations. The Contractor shall saw cut ties as necessary to facilitate the installation of the service distribution pipe. In lieu of cutting the ties of the paved over SEPTA tracks, the Contractor may remove the rail and ties in their entirety. The rail ties removed become property of the Contractor, who is responsible for their disposal. The Contractor shall also note that no extra or additional payment will be made for excavation or paving outside of the payment lines for the water main due to removal of the rail and ties in part, or in their entirety. Payment for the removal of the existing rails and ties shall be deducted from the allowance.

13. When installation of service distribution pipe is required under/around SEPTA tracks, the Contractor shall coordinate his work with a SEPTA representative. Upon receiving a location of this nature, the Contractor shall contact Steve Goodwin, (215) 580-7589, jgoodwin@septa.org, within 24 hours to coordinate his work in the track area. The SEPTA representative shall determine whether the tracks shall be maintained, replaced, or removed.

This includes but is not limited to scheduling, delays, and work stoppages. There will be no separate or additional payment for delays associated with this work. There will be no remobilization payment due to delays caused by the railroad work.

14. When a SEPTA Bus Route detour is required to facilitate the installation of service distribution pipe, the Contractor shall coordinate his work with a SEPTA representative.

d. Completion is defined to mean that the service distribution pipe and connection has been installed and the existing distribution water main returned to normal service; all bypass pumping equipment has been removed; pavement repairs, if required, have been performed; punchlist items have been completed.
