Waterline Replacement

The Borough of Monaca in Beaver County, Pennsylvania is seeking sealed bids for the Gateway Roundabout Waterline Replacement project, to be submitted online via PennBid by October 17, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. The procurement involves replacing approximately 140 linear feet of existing waterline with 6-inch ductile iron pipe, including associated service lines and fittings along Pennsylvania Avenue. The primary objective is to adjust the waterline elevation to accommodate future intersection improvements, with a project completion timeline of 30 calendar days after receiving the Notice to Proceed. All bidders must submit bid security of 10% and will be responsible for obtaining necessary permits, managing traffic control, coordinating utilities, and restoring disturbed areas. The project spans from 15th Street to 17th Street and requires careful navigation around existing utilities, storm sewers, and future roundabout construction. Contractors will be subject to liquidated damages of $200 per day for project delays, and the borough reserves the right to reject any or all bids deemed not in its best interest.

The bid opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The borough will provide certain materials for the project, including ductile iron pipe, fittings, gate valves, valve boxes, polyethylene tubing, corporation stops, and curb stops. While no incumbent vendors are identified, potential bidders should have demonstrated experience in municipal waterline replacement and infrastructure projects. The bid package is available at no cost through PennBid's online platform, and interested contractors must carefully review the comprehensive technical specifications and contract documents. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project's scope suggests a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure investment focused on improving water infrastructure and supporting future transportation development in the Monaca area.
