Mt. Rock and S. R. 997 Water Main Replacement

The Guilford Water Authority is seeking sealed bids for the Mt. Rock and S.R. 997 Water Main Replacement project, located in Fulton County, Pennsylvania. The procurement will be conducted entirely through the PennBid Program, with bids due by August 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local prevailing time. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Guilford Township Building, where prospective bidders can discuss the project with owner and engineer representatives. Bidders are required to submit a bid security deposit of 10% of their total bid and must comply with Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act requirements. All contract documents can be obtained at no cost through the PennBid platform, and questions must be submitted exclusively through the platform's public Q&A section. Bidders must maintain bid irrevocability for 60 days after the opening date, with the potential extension to 120 days pending government agency approvals or grant considerations.

The project appears to be open to all qualified bidders without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must adhere to prevailing wage rates established by the Pennsylvania Secretary of Labor, which are incorporated into the contract documents. The procurement includes several supporting documents: bid drawings, bidding documents, a project manual, a bid tabulation template, and an addendum. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive documentation suggests a substantial infrastructure improvement project involving water main replacement. The procurement process emphasizes technical competence, compliance with wage regulations, and adherence to detailed specifications outlined in the attached documents. Potential contractors should carefully review the technical specifications, wage requirements, and project scope to ensure full compliance with the Guilford Water Authority's procurement standards.
