About this file
This is a General Permit (GP) Acknowledgment Notification letter issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Northeast Regional Office to Bangor Borough regarding authorization for the North Main Street Storm Sewer project in Northampton County. The letter confirms receipt of the borough's notification to use the General Permit under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act and authorizes the proposed work in accordance with Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit-6 (PASPGP-6), which provides U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorization pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The borough may proceed with the project after making required notifications and securing all other necessary approvals. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 10, 2026 at 10:00 am at Bangor Borough Hall, with sealed electronic proposals due via PennBid on July 17, 2026 at 12:00 pm. Borough Council is tentatively scheduled to take action on the bids at their monthly meeting on July 27, 2026 at 7:00 pm.
Each bidder must submit a bid bond or certified check equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount, with all quantities listed as approximate. The successful bidder will be required to provide a performance bond or certified check in the amount of 100 percent of the contract value within 20 days of award. Liquidated damages are assessed at $825.00 per calendar day. All bids are irrevocable for 60 days after the bid opening date, and the municipality reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive any defects or irregularities. The GP authorization is subject to modification, suspension, or revocation if any information in the application or plans is later found to be in error, and persons aggrieved by this action may appeal to the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt.
