This is a project layout document for the 1st and Walnut Streets Water Main Replacement Project administered by the South Middleton Township Municipal Authority (SMTMA) in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The project encompasses comprehensive water main infrastructure replacement including approximately 1,700 feet of 8 and 10-inch Ductile Iron water line installation, replacement of 26 water services, installation and removal of temporary water mains, and restoration of curbs, sidewalks, stamped asphalt, and lawn and pavement areas as detailed in the project drawings and specifications. The procurement is structured around three distinct contracts: Contract 1 for Force Main, Contract 2 for General Construction Pump Station, and Contract 3 for Electrical Construction. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the pump station site. Sealed bids will be received online through PennBid until 12:00 PM on December 10, 2025, with substantial completion targeted for October 31, 2026, and final completion by November 30, 2026.

The project requires contractors to comply with Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements and the Steel Products Procurement Act, with performance bonds mandatory for all awarded contracts. Bidders must submit non-collusion affidavits, steel product procurement affidavits, and public works employment verification forms, and are responsible for obtaining necessary permits from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per day for substantial completion delays and $500 per day for final completion delays. The work includes all material, labor, equipment, bypass pumping, and demolition of existing equipment necessary for pump station replacement, including installation of two new submersible wastewater pumps, controls, grinder pit, valve vault, flowmeter, piping, valves, and electrical infrastructure components. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned, and the contract appears open to all qualified contractors with technical expertise in municipal infrastructure construction and wastewater pump station upgrades.
