The project involves the design, bidding support, and engineering services during construction for a new municipal groundwater production well to replace and abandon the existing Corydon well. The scope is divided into two phases: Phase 1 focuses on technical specifications, civil site design, and on-site construction management for the well drilling and abandonment; Phase 2 covers the architectural, civil, mechanical, structural, electrical, and instrumentation design for equipping and commissioning the new well. Key technical requirements include the use of 24-inch diameter stainless steel Ful-Flo louvered well screens and vertical turbine equipment, with all work adhering to AWWA, SWRCB-DDW, and DWR standards. The contract is a professional services agreement with an estimated total project cost of 2,260,788 dollars, which includes 2,000,000 dollars for construction. Award selection is based on demonstrated competence and professional qualifications, with evaluation weights distributed across relevant experience (25%), project approach (25%), scope and schedule (20%), innovation (10%), cost (10%), and proposal quality (10%). The project is subject to stringent federal and state regulations, including the Build America Buy America Act, the Iran Contracting Act, and various non-discrimination and ethics clauses. Proposals must be submitted via the PlanetBids Vendor Portal by September 1, 2026, and must include a detailed cost proposal, personnel qualifications, and required certifications regarding lobbying, debarment, and domestic material sourcing.

Garretson Street Bridge
Solicitation # Austin Borough — Preliminary Engineering RFP
Austin Borough is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide preliminary engineering services for the remediation and redevelopment of two condemned commercial structures at 25 and 27 Main Street, located in one of Pennsylvania’s most economically distressed rural communities. The borough acquired 25 Main Street in February 2026 after years of tax delinquency and abandonment, and a 2025 hazardous materials survey confirmed lead-based paint and severe structural deterioration on both buildings. The project, contingent upon the successful submission of the DCED Neighborhood Assistance Plan Grant on May 29th, entails full demolition, lead abatement, site clearance, and the construction of a finished exterior wall on the adjacent privately owned 23 Main Street, with the ultimate goal of transforming the site into a community memorial green space. Original brick from the historic pre-1911 structures will be salvaged and repurposed, incorporating engraved memorials to the 78 victims of the 1911 Austin Dam disaster to support heritage tourism linked to the Austin Dam Memorial Association. The procurement follows Pennsylvania’s Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process, emphasizing technical merit and firm experience over price, with evaluation factors weighted heavily toward relevant experience and qualifications (30%), technical approach to preliminary engineering (25%), and understanding of borough infrastructure needs (15%). The contract is not a traditional federal acquisition, lacks standardized FAR clauses, and does not require UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications. Proposers must submit a comprehensive package—including a letter of interest, detailed scope of work, proposed timeline, fee proposal, resumes of key personnel, examples of similar projects, proof of PennDOT prequalification, and proof of insurance—all through the PennBid portal by May 31, 2026. Work is scoped to preliminary engineering deliverables such as survey base maps, preliminary plan sets, cost estimates, and grant-ready documentation supporting DCED and PennDOT funding applications; final design and construction services are excluded. The borough retains the right to delay, cancel, or phase the project based on grant funding availability, and the selected firm is prohibited from providing both design and construction services to prevent conflicts of interest. All payments are contingent upon receipt of grant funds, and no fixed contract value has been established.
