4. 4 WMR3 Sourcing Project Overview By implementing the WMR3 Sourcing Strategy the Commission and it’s ratepayers are expected to benefit from the following: Salaries: Shortened cycle time and reduce internal costs from completion of design to start of construction Materials: Ductile Iron Pipe will be furnished through WSSC’s recent sourcing agreement with HD Supply Expanded use of PVC pipes Construction: Improved quality during construction by: Using pool of pre-qualified contractors. Performance will be evaluated after each task order ensure that good performance is maintained. Obtaining constructability input from contractors at 70% design completion Minimizing reliance on temporary water service by making parallel trench replacement as the preferred method of construction
