SCIAlbion Temporary Potable Water Service

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking a contractor for a design-build project to provide a temporary potable water service for SCI Albion. The primary objective is to supply domestic water to support continuous institutional operations while the site's water tank undergoes interior restoration, painting, and corrosion protection under a separate 60-day contract. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to design, install, test, and monitor a code-compliant, functional, and safe temporary water system. The contract opportunity was posted on April 19, 2011, with a proposal due date of May 19, 2011. Potential bidders must submit physical proposals, as electronic submittals will not be accepted. The project is located in Cumberland County, specifically in the Cashtown CDP region, and requires a comprehensive approach to temporary water infrastructure that ensures uninterrupted service for the correctional facility.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly mentioned in the procurement document, the project appears to be open to qualified contractors capable of delivering a specialized temporary water service solution. The contract seems focused on technical capabilities and performance rather than specific vendor classifications. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure beyond the need for a temporary water system during tank restoration. The scope suggests a focused, time-limited project with precise technical requirements, though no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available documentation. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in designing and implementing temporary water infrastructure for institutional settings, with a clear understanding of code compliance and operational continuity requirements.
