About this opportunity
Greater Hazleton CAN DO Inc. in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania re-bid the Norfolk Southern Double Railroad Bore and Sanitary System Upgrade Project in Hazle Township, with sealed bids due October 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM prevailing time through PennBid. That deadline has passed, and the pricing file records four bids.
The contractor furnishes all labor, materials, tools, oversight, and permits for 482 linear feet of 24-inch PVC SDR-35 gravity sewer pipe, 290 linear feet of 48-inch steel pipe boring, two bore pits, three sanitary manholes, soil erosion and pollution control, and seeding and final restoration. The 48-inch boring accounts for 63 to 75 percent of each base bid. The project is located at 1 South Broad Street, Hazleton, per Addendum 001.
The contract is unit-price. Addendum 001, dated October 16, 2026, sets completion at 210 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed and assesses liquidated damages of $1,000.00 per calendar day for work not completed within that period. Payment is 90 percent of completed work and delivered materials before 50 percent completion, with retainage rising to 5 percent afterward until substantial completion. Addendum 001 also revised the bid and agreement forms, which bidders must acknowledge on PennBid; failure to acknowledge may result in disqualification.
Each bid required a bid bond of 10 percent of the total bid from a corporate surety authorized in Pennsylvania. The successful bidder must furnish certificates of insurance, a performance bond, and a payment bond before award. Bids may not be withdrawn within 60 consecutive calendar days after opening, or 120 days if award is delayed by governmental approval, bond sales, or grant awards.
Total bids ranged from $1.85 million (Wexcon Inc., the lowest) to $2.84 million (Miller Soil Solutions LLC), each including a uniform $5,000 allowance for soil testing and compaction. The other bidders were Ankiewicz Enterprises Inc. and Linde Corporation. Greater Hazleton CAN DO Inc. will make the award after evaluation, and the bid abstract is posted on PennBid. Barry Isett & Associates is the project engineer, and Robert J. Dougherty, PE serves as the owner's project manager.
