About this file
This is Addendum No. 3, issued October 14, 2026, by Cranberry Township's Engineering Department for Contract No. 2026-439 - Route 19 Waterline Replacement Project located in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The addendum modifies the contract documents by inserting requirements for the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) and American Iron & Steel (AIS) compliance provisions. Specific technical specification changes replace valve box descriptions in the Base Bid section (Items 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, and 26) and Alternate Bid section (Items 10, 11, and 12) to read "two-piece valve box" rather than "Resilient Wedge Gate Valve." The project involves replacement of the Route 19 waterline with all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment provided by the contractor. Sealed bids were accepted electronically via PennBid until 10:00 AM on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
The project is partially funded using EPA Grant monies, requiring compliance with Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage requirements and federal funding regulations. Contractors must certify compliance with BABAA requirements, ensuring that all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials are produced in the United States, with manufactured products containing greater than 55 percent domestic content by cost. The American Iron & Steel certification requirement mandates that materials and products shipped to the project comply with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, with documentation provided on company letterhead and submitted to both the prime contractor and engineer. All bids require a certified check or bid bond in the amount of $1,000, with bids remaining irrevocable for 90 days following the bid opening date. The estimated project cost exceeds $25,000.
