About this file
This document provides specifications for a federal construction contract opportunity for the NOAA OMAO Ship and Support Facility Relocation project at the Naval Station Newport in Newport, Rhode Island. The solicitation seeks construction services including site work, utilities, and building construction. Key specifications include water distribution piping materials and installation requirements. Ductile iron, copper, and plastic pipes are specified along with fittings, valves, fire hydrants, meters, and backflow preventers. Installation must follow standards such as AWWA and NFPA for hydrostatic testing, disinfection, and connection to existing systems. Completion is required prior to the new water systems being put into operation.
