Contract No. 2026-439 Route 19 Waterline Replacement Project

The Cranberry Township Board of Supervisors in Butler County, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed electronic bids for Contract No. 2026-439, the Route 19 Waterline Replacement Project, with bids due November 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM under Addendum No. 5, which extended the original November 10 deadline. The project is partially funded with EPA Grant monies, so Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage requirements apply, and contractors must demonstrate compliance with associated federal requirements. Addendum No. 3 adds Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) and American Iron & Steel (AIS) provisions. Contractors must certify that 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. AIS documentation must be on company letterhead and submitted to both the prime contractor and the engineer.

The contractor provides all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment to replace the Route 19 waterline as specified in the technical specifications and construction drawings. Addendum No. 3 changes valve box references in Base Bid Items 18 through 21, 25, and 26 and Alternate Bid Items 10 through 12 to "two-piece valve box." Addendum No. 4 drawings detail concrete encasement and minimum clearance requirements. Addendum No. 6 provides further clarifications to the bidding documents. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of addenda as part of their bid submissions, and failure to do so may result in rejection.

The estimated project cost exceeds $25,000. Each bid must include a $1,000 certified check or bid bond payable to Cranberry Township, and bids remain irrevocable for 90 days after the actual opening date. Bidders pay no PennBid subscription or registration fees. Only awarded contractors pay a PennBid fee capped at one-third of one percent of contract value, with a $150 minimum and $6,000 maximum plus applicable tax.

Bidding documents are available at no cost on PennBid (www.pennbid.net), and proposals must use forms the Township provides. Bids sent directly to Cranberry Township are invalid and non-responsive. Questions must be submitted through the Messages feature within PennBid. The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive defects or irregularities in the Township's best interest.
