Calhoun Manor and Village Sewer Repairs

Sealed bids are being solicited by the Borough of West Homestead, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, for the WH-2026-1 Calhoun Manor and Village Sewer Repairs project, with submissions due by 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 25, 2026, at the Borough Secretary’s Office. The work encompasses a range of sanitary sewer rehabilitation activities including manhole repair and sealing, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) spot repairs and full-length lining between manholes, flow control installation, cleaning, and pre- and post-repair CCTV inspections. Quantities are not guaranteed, and bidders are required to independently assess subsurface conditions. All bids must be submitted on the PennBid platform, accompanied by a certified check or bid bond equal to ten percent of the proposed amount, issued by a surety authorized to operate in Pennsylvania and clearly stated in dollars and cents. A prebid meeting is scheduled for May 12 at the Borough Building, and plans are accessible online through pennbid.com. The project is subject to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, and contractors must demonstrate the ability to perform the work. No bid may be withdrawn for 65 calendar days after the submission deadline. All excavation is classified as unclassified. Bids must be clearly labeled with the contract number and submitted in sealed envelopes as specified. The contract requires the submission of shop drawings, erosion and sedimentation control plans, construction photography, digital CCTV inspection records with PACP evaluations, and technical data for materials. Performance and payment bonds, each in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price, are mandatory, issued by U.S. Department of the Treasury-approved sureties licensed in Pennsylvania. The contractor must also provide weekly certified payroll records, ensure all steel products are domestically produced under the Pennsylvania Steel Products Procurement Act, maintain adequate sanitary facilities on-site, designate a safety representative, and implement a hazard communication program. Close-out documentation including affidavits of payment, lien releases, and surety consents must be submitted prior to final payment. The award will go to the lowest bidder whose proposal, upon evaluation, is deemed by the borough to be in the best interests of the project, with no automatic selection based on price alone. The project is not governed by Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses but follows a construction-specific format with locally defined provisions. All work must comply with contract specifications, applicable laws, and manufacturer guidelines, and materials must be delivered in original, undamaged packaging
