This is a bidding plan set prepared by McCarthy Engineering Associates, Inc. for the Maxatawny Township Municipal Authority in Berks County, Pennsylvania, detailing the comprehensive rehabilitation of the Bowers Road Water Tank. The project encompasses a 150,000-gallon water storage tank (28'-6" × 32' diameter) and its access infrastructure located in Maxatawny Township. The rehabilitation work includes foundational grouting and repairs, exterior rust remediation with elastomeric coating application, complete interior and exterior recoating to SSPC-SP10 standards, replacement of the roof and pipe screen with non-corrodible mesh, upsizing the shell manhole to 30 inches, replacing exterior ladder cages with galvanized flexible safety climb devices, installing self-closing swing gates at platform transitions, replacing the pipe vent with an 18-inch APV vent, and stabilizing site access by replacing existing gravel with compacted 2A modified aggregate base. Sealed proposals were due by 11:00 am on Thursday, April 16, 2026, via the PennBid online program, with the bid opening and tabulation occurring on the same date and time. A public bid award was scheduled for April 23, 2026, at 6:30 pm at the Maxatawny Township Municipal Authority offices located at 127 Quarry Road, Kutztown, PA 19530. The authority may hold bids for up to 60 days following opening for review, government approvals, and grant processing before awarding the contract.

The project is partially funded by the PA Small Water and Sewer Program grant. All bidders must comply with the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act requirements and adhere to the General Conditions and detailed specifications outlined in the complete bid package. The plans note that utilities are approximate based on field mark-outs and that all construction shall comply with the International Building Code as adopted by the municipality. Contractors are responsible for all traffic control, trench barricading, covering, sheeting, and shoring in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The design documents include a site plan with vicinity map, typical driveway cross-section, water tank elevation views, and detailed construction drawings addressing the tank's structural rehabilitation and mechanical upgrades. Questions submitted via PennBid after 12:00 pm on April 9, 2026, would not receive responses, with all bidder communications and addenda managed through the online portal.
