Four separate bid packages, each for different components of the long-planned upgrade and expansion to Cranberry’s Brush Creek wastewater treatment plant, were authorized by the Township’s Board of Supervisors at its November 19 meeting. They included authorizations for general construction, electrical work, HVAC, and plumbing. The PennBid electronic procurement system, which is followed by contractors nationwide, will manage the project’s bid solicitation and document distribution, which includes more than 1,700 pages of text as well as 400 pages of drawings. In a separate action, the Board agreed to consider approving contracts with two professional organizations – GHD for design services and AECOM Technical Services for construction management – at its meeting on December 3. In addition, to keep pace with progress in the plant’s expansion, the Board authorized the purchase of an upgrade to its supervisory control and data acquisition software.
