Performance bonds are mandatory for all contracts. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per day for delays in substantial completion and $500 per day for final completion delays. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors. Contractors must obtain necessary permits, including those from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. While the exact budget is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure replacement, electrical systems upgrade, and force main reconstruction indicates a substantial municipal investment.
