The project re-lines an existing 24-inch corrugated metal storm drain within the Woodland Plaza Apartments parking lot along Woodland Road and State Hill Road in Wyomissing.

The CIPP system must meet ASTM F1216, F1743, F2019, or D5813 with a design life of 50 years or greater and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty. The contractor must coordinate utility de-energization with PPL Electric, provide temporary utilities, and keep sound pressure at the site boundary at or below 40 dBA while minimizing disruption to the occupied facility. Required submittals include a Performance Work Statement, Quality Control Plan, Safety Plan, and product submittals.

Substantial completion is due 90 calendar days after Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $600.00 per calendar day for delay. Retainage is 10 percent until work reaches 50 percent completion, then 5 percent. Bid security equals 10 percent of the bid, payable by cashier's check, certified check, or bid bond. The successful bidder must furnish a performance bond for 100 percent of the contract amount within 10 calendar days of award, plus a payment bond, a one-year maintenance bond equal to at least 10 percent of the final contract price, insurance certificates, and a Workmen's Compensation Affidavit.
