This is a project layout and specification document for the South Middleton Township Municipal Authority (SMTMA) in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, detailing the 1st and Walnut Streets Water Main Replacement Project. The project encompasses comprehensive infrastructure replacement including the installation of approximately 1,700 feet of 8 and 10-inch Ductile Iron water line, replacement of 26 water services, installation of temporary water mains, and restoration of curbs, sidewalks, stamped asphalt, and lawn and pavement areas. The work also includes complete replacement of an existing pump station with two new submersible wastewater pumps, controls, grinder pit, valve vault, flowmeter, associated piping and valves, and electrical infrastructure. The project requires sealed bids submitted online via PennBid by 12:00 PM on December 10, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the pump station site. Substantial completion is targeted for October 31, 2026, with final project completion by November 30, 2026.

The project is structured as three distinct contracts: Contract 1 for Force Main, Contract 2 for General Construction Pump Station, and Contract 3 for Electrical Construction. Contractors must comply with Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements and the Steel Products Procurement Act, submit non-collusion affidavits, steel product procurement affidavits, and public works employment verification forms, and obtain performance bonds and 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 project includes bypass pumping and demolition of existing equipment, with no specific contractor set-asides mentioned. While an exact project budget is not stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure replacement and electrical system upgrades indicates a significant municipal investment requiring demonstrated technical expertise in wastewater pump station upgrades and municipal infrastructure construction.
