ROUTE 16 WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT

The project involves the installation of approximately 1,125 feet of 8-inch PVC water line and the replacement of 18 water services in Washington Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, with full lawn and pavement restoration as depicted on the approved drawings and specified in the contract documents. All materials, labor, and equipment necessary to complete the work must be furnished and installed in accordance with manufacturer instructions, applicable industry standards such as AWWA C900 and ASTM, and oversight by the designated Engineer. The work is subject to inspection and acceptance at the project site, with the Contractor responsible for arranging and paying for all required inspections, including those conducted by external agencies like the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Protection. Compliance with state laws including the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, Steel Products Procurement Act, and Act 127 Public Works Employment Verification is mandatory, and the Contractor must maintain proper permits, submit detailed safety programs, and provide resumes for key personnel including a designated on-site safety representative. Materials must be delivered in the manufacturer’s original sealed packaging or equivalent, stored for no more than 30 days prior to installation under temperature and humidity conditions outlined by the manufacturer, and protected from damage, deterioration, or theft in weathertight, ventilated areas. No federal FAR-style clauses are included; instead, the contract is structured around Articles addressing definitions, payment, change orders, claims, and compliance. Bids must be submitted electronically via PennBid, with no formal contract value or pricing line items provided in the solicitation. The bidding process has a deadline of May 28, 2026, and no set-aside provisions, socioeconomic certifications, or evaluation factor weights are specified beyond a general requirement for responsible bidders. Acceptance of the work occurs upon final inspection at the site, and the Contractor remains liable for all work until formal sign-off by the Engineer.
