CDCA Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation - Phase 2

The Central Delaware County Authority is soliciting sealed bids for the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project, with proposals due by 10:00 AM on August 25, 2026, through the PennBid electronic platform. The project involves installing 1,735 linear feet of 8-inch CIPP lining, rehabilitating 11 manholes, and rehabilitating 25 sanitary sewer lateral lines with T-liners, along with related work such as bypass pumping, traffic control, and construction permit compliance. All bid documents, plans, and specifications are accessible free of charge via the PennBid portal. Bidders must submit a $200 certified check or bid bond payable to the Authority, and the successful bidder will be required to post both a performance bond and a labor and materials bond equal to the full award amount, secured by a surety company approved by the Authority. The bidder must also pay PennBid a fee of one-third of one percent of the contract value, with a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $5,000. No bid may be withdrawn within 60 days after the bid opening, and the Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids for any reason, including informalities in submission. The contract performance period is 60 calendar days from the notice to proceed, though alternative references suggest a potential extension up to 365 days. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage laws, operate under a registered Class A apprenticeship program, and provide proof of insurance and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations, including OSHA and Pennsylvania DEP standards. Contractors are responsible for all permits, traffic control aligned with PennDOT guidelines, erosion control, and restoration of disturbed areas. The Authority does not accept paper bids or telegraphic submissions; all submissions must be electronically uploaded through the PennBid system. The contract contains no specified pricing details, as unit rates for core items like CIPP and manhole rehabilitation are missing from the bid schedule, though two allowances are listed at $25,000 and $45,000 respectively. The work is to be performed within Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and all materials and methods must conform to NASSCO PACP standards for video inspection and reporting. The contractor assumes full responsibility for site conditions, including unforeseen pipe defects, and is prohibited from assigning or subletting the contract without prior authorization.
