About this opportunity
Myerstown Water Authority is soliciting sealed proposals for the Jefferson Avenue Water Main Replacement project, with proposals due July 10, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via the PennBid Program.

The scope includes replacement of approximately 1,020 linear feet of water main on Jefferson Avenue in Myerstown Borough (495 linear feet of 12-inch ductile iron pipe and 525 linear feet of 8-inch pipe), installation of gate valves, hydrant tees, fire hydrants with service laterals, concrete valve vaults, excavation and removal of road material (500 cubic yards), and restoration of driveways, sidewalks, curbs, lawns, and pavement in accordance with PennDOT Publications 213 and 408 for state highway work. Work is divided into two phases: the east side of Jefferson Avenue (between N. Railroad Street and PA State Route 501) and the west side (west of PA State Route 501). Field verification of existing main locations and depths through hydro-excavation is required prior to construction.
Substantial completion is due August 31, 2026 for the east side and September 18, 2026 for the west side, with final completion by October 12, 2026. Liquidated damages are $870.00 per calendar day for failure to meet these milestones. Each proposal must include a bid bond or acceptable security equal to 10 percent of the total base bid. Bids remain effective for 60 calendar days from opening and may not be withdrawn. The contract will be awarded to the lowest qualified, responsible, and responsive bidder. Progress payments include 10% retainage until 50% completion, then 5% thereafter. Final questions are due July 6, 2026. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 1, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Myerstown Water Authority office, 601 Stracks Dam Road, Myerstown, Pennsylvania. Addendum 1 and Addendum 2 have been issued.
