AI Contract Overview
Weisenberg Township is soliciting sealed bids for the Blacksmith Road Culvert Replacement project in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The scope of work involves the demolition and removal of existing walls and dual 42 inch pipes, followed by the installation of a precast culvert. The project includes comprehensive site work, erosion and sediment controls, bypass pumping, temporary and permanent traffic control, paving, and guiderail installation. A critical component of the project is the stream reconstruction, which requires the creation of a series of pools and riffles extending 150 feet through the streambed. While the township has already awarded the contract for the manufacture and delivery of the culvert and footers, the sitework contractor is responsible for coordinating the delivery and placement of these materials. Bids must be submitted electronically via the PennBid Program by 1:00 PM on October 6, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 25, 2026. Qualified bidders must be PennDOT prequalified and provide a 10 percent bid bond, with the successful awardee required to furnish performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract value. Due to PA DEP permitting and the protection of endangered species, site work cannot commence until after November 16, 2026. The project is expected to reach substantial completion by February 1, 2027, and final completion by March 1, 2027, though alternative dates of March 31 and April 30, 2027, are noted in some documentation. Prevailing wage rates apply, and the contract is governed by EJCDC Standard General Conditions.
