Prospect Street Sewer Relocation Project

The Tatamy Borough Sewer Authority is soliciting sealed bids for the Prospect Street Sewer Relocation Project, a comprehensive sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement initiative located in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The project involves installing one sanitary sewer manhole, 146 linear feet of 8" SDR-26 sewer pipe, reconstructing two existing lateral connections, connecting to an existing sanitary sewer manhole, and removing/abandoning the current sewer system. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a Public Works Employment Verification form, a Statement of Bidder's Qualifications, and a Non-Collusion Affidavit. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the Tatamy Borough Municipal Building, with sealed bids due via PennBid by 3:00 PM on November 13, 2025. Each bid must include a 10% bid security in the form of a certified check or bid bond, and the project is subject to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, with anticipated project completion within 30 calendar days and final restoration to be completed within six months from the contract start date.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with the federal E-Verify Program, verifying employment eligibility for all new hires within five business days of their start date. The successful contractor will be required to furnish performance and payment bonds each equal to the contract price, meeting specific surety requirements. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for delays beyond the specified completion timeframes. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and engineering designs prepared by Keystone Consulting Engineers, Inc. indicate a significant infrastructure investment. The Tatamy Borough Sewer Authority reserves the right to waive any informalities and reject any or all bids, suggesting a competitive and flexible procurement approach. Contractors must also comply with various federal, state, and local codes, including utility protection, erosion control, and site maintenance requirements.
