LIME SILO DEMOLITATION

Sealed bids for the Eden Interceptor Rehabilitation Project – Phase 1 are solicited by the Lancaster Area Sewer Authority for construction work in East Lampeter and Manheim Townships, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with submissions due electronically via the PennBid Program no later than Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. local time. The project is structured as a single unit price contract under the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, requiring all workers to be paid state-mandated minimum wage rates, and bidders must comply with state anti-kickback statutes. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 6, 2026, at the Authority’s offices to allow prospective bidders to consult directly with representatives of the Authority and the Engineer. All bid documents are available at no cost online via PennBid, and each bid must be accompanied by bid security equal to ten percent of the total bid amount, submitted as a certified check, bank check, or bid bond in the required form. The Authority retains the right to reject any or all bids and waive irregularities, and successful bidders must submit their bid security within three business days after opening. Bids remain open for 60 days following opening, or 120 days if award is delayed due to approvals, bond sales, or grant awards. The contract is governed by the EJCdC® C-700 General Conditions, 2013 Edition, with tailored supplementary conditions addressing bidding documents, contract times, residence project representation, and substantial completion criteria, including a requirement that at least 90 percent of the work be completed before substantial completion is deemed achieved. All work must comply with industry standards such as NFPA, ASTM, ANSI, AISC, and UL, and materials and equipment must be furnished to the site with proper packaging, preservation, and labeling per manufacturer recommendations. Inspections occur on-site and are the contractor’s responsibility, with acceptance determined by the Engineer based on compliance with contract documents. The evaluation criteria for award are holistic and include bidder qualifications, compliance, unit pricing, equipment performance, and the experience and financial stability of the bidder and proposed subcontractors, with no explicit weighting assigned. The basis of award is a trade-off decision focused on the best interests of the project, not lowest price alone. Contractors must provide a baseline schedule within 30 days of award, ensure site security, manage subcontractor approvals, and indemnify the Authority for hazards created by
