Manhaven Manor Stormwater Replacement

Sealed bids for the Manhaven Manor Stormwater Replacement project in Manchester Borough, York County, Pennsylvania, must be submitted electronically via the PennBid portal by 10:00 AM on Thursday, July 9, 2026. The project involves replacing existing corrugated metal pipe with SLCPP storm sewer systems, along with full restoration of pavement, concrete curb, and sidewalks. Bids will be publicly opened and read electronically on the same date and time, with results available by the end of the business day. Each bidder must submit a bid bond of 5% of the maximum bid amount in the form of a certified check or acceptable surety payable to Manchester Borough. No pre-bid conference is scheduled, but bidders are required to thoroughly examine all contract documents, visit the site, and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. The contract time is strictly 90 calendar days from the commencement date, with liquidated damages applicable for any delays beyond this period unless formally extended. The project is subject to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act and Buy America requirements, mandating compliance with wage standards and domestic material sourcing, including the submission of Form CS-4171S for steel verification. All work must adhere to ADA regulations, particularly regarding curb ramps and street crossings. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to the full contract value, executed by sureties listed in the U.S. Treasury’s Circular 570, and maintain insurance policies naming the Owner, Engineer, and their consultants as additional insureds. The contractor is responsible for all inspections, testing, and certifications required for acceptance, including infiltration, deflection, and vacuum tests for pipelines and manholes, and must conduct concrete testing in accordance with ASTM C31 with on-site specimen curing. Bids must be submitted through PennBid with completed electronic forms, and corporations, partnerships, and LLCs must provide proper execution documentation. All bidders must certify under penalty of perjury that their bids are non-collusive and independently derived. The project, financed in part by a Federal Treasury grant administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, requires adherence to nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policies throughout performance. Qualifications, financial capacity, and past experience may be evaluated by the Owner, and bids may be rejected if nonresponsive or if the bidder fails to meet evaluation thresholds.
