About this file
This document package includes a specification changes amendment and related federal contract opportunity for the FY21 Winding Woods Reach Water Lines project. The amendment modifies the specifications for a contract to install approximately 42,000 linear feet of 16-inch and smaller water transmission lines, master meter stations, and associated work in Dorchester County, South Carolina. Key requirements include ductile iron pipe, restrained joints, corrosion protection, mechanical fittings, valves, and pressure testing. Bids for the work were due through the Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District on August 24, 2021. The selected contractor will be responsible for coordination, permits, testing, and placing the new water lines into successful operation as part of the Lake Marion Regional Water System owned by Santee Cooper and Dorchester County.
