This was a 3-Year Infrastructure and Repair IDIQ contract. As needed, Fort Myer supplied crews to DC Water for water main replacement and repair work orders all across Washington, DC. Work orders ranged from emergency water main breaks to replacement of lead service connections to copper service connections. There were always active lines of communication required with DDOT for occupancy, steel plates, public space permits, and construction on public streets.
Utility materials used included ductile iron. For example, we installed 150 LF of 20”; 250 LF of 16”; 1200 LF of 12”; 1500 LF of 8”; 850 LF of 6”; and 50 LF of 30” PCCP Pipe. The method of pipe replacement included open trench and excavation.
Project Significance
The emergency response portion of this contract required our team to always be on-call. As emergencies arise, our crews were available 24/7 to respond and fix broken water mains or other unplanned utility repairs. We frequently verified our material supply to guarantee that our warehouse was fully stocked and ready. We also ensured that we provided effective communication with residents and local businesses that might be affected.
