Western Branch Potable Water System Upgrades Technical Specification Summary

This technical specification document, issued by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) for Contract No. CD6915B20, outlines construction requirements for the Western Branch Water Resource Recovery Facility Potable Water System Upgrade project located in Maryland. The project scope includes construction of a new well house, installation of a new water line with connections to treatment plant buildings, installation of an electrical duct bank connecting to an existing manhole, and comprehensive sitework including erosion and sediment controls, site grading, and pavement restoration. The contractor must execute all work without disrupting service to existing treatment plant buildings, with connections to existing infrastructure scheduled and coordinated in advance, potentially requiring night or weekend work at no additional cost to the Commission. All work is subject to a lump sum payment structure as detailed in the bid schedule, with contingent items measured and paid per unit price as directed by the engineer. The response deadline is 2:00 PM on Monday, July 27, 2026, via WSSC's eProcurement Portal.

The specification establishes detailed operational requirements including strict adherence to WSSC's 5-day work week (Monday-Friday, 8 hours daily) with listed holidays; all work outside normal hours requires written authorization with associated overtime costs charged to the contractor at published rates ranging from $165.00 to $212.82 per hour depending on inspector type. The contractor must provide pre-construction photography and videography, submit a Critical Path Method (CPM) detailed construction schedule within 60 days of contract start, and maintain monthly schedule updates. All materials require submittal approval before fabrication or delivery, with shop drawings, catalog data, and working drawings submitted electronically via e-Builder. The contractor assumes responsibility for survey stakeout, utility location verification, existing structure protection, and restoration of damaged property or utilities. Contingent items include borrow excavation, rock excavation, concrete work, asphalt pavement restoration, and up to $350,000 in allowances for unanticipated additional work approved by the engineer. The specification references applicable codes and standards including AWWA, ACI, ASTM, and Maryland Department of the Environment requirements, with emphasis on environmental protection and erosion/sediment control compliance throughout all construction phases.
