About this file

This is a technical specification document for stainless steel process pipe and tubing for the Skytop Lodge Sewage Treatment Plant Improvements Project (Contract 2026-01, Project Number 005153.0436) in Pennsylvania. The specification details materials and installation requirements for piping systems supporting sewage treatment upgrades, including an influent screening system, equalization tank, chemical feed system, two clarifier tanks, post aeration tank, and UV disinfection system. The document mandates that piping materials comply with multiple industry standards including ASME, ASTM, AWS, and NSF certifications. Manufacturers must demonstrate a minimum of three years of documented experience, and installers must have equivalent experience in performing similar work. Welders must be ASME-qualified within the previous 12 months. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 10:30 AM at the Skytop Lodge STP facility in Canadensis, Pennsylvania, with bid opening on September 18, 2026 at 10:00 AM via PennBid. Bid security of not less than 10% in the form of a certified check or bid bond is required.

The specification requires stainless steel Type 304L materials for general service piping, with schedule 5S dimensions and either seamless or welded construction per ASTM A813/A813M standards. Fittings must comply with ASME B16.9 and ASTM A403/A403M, with socket-welding for piping 2 inches and smaller and butt-welding for larger piping. All materials in contact with potable water must be certified according to NSF 61 and NSF 372. The specification requires comprehensive shop drawings, manufacturer certificates of compliance, welder certifications, and field quality control including pressure testing at not less than 50 psig with a minimum one-hour air test. Field welding of stainless steel is expressly prohibited. All installation work must comply with ASME B31.3 process piping standards, and materials must be stored in clean, dry locations protected from moisture and dust, with temperatures maintained above zero degrees Fahrenheit.
