PROCUREMENT GUIDELINES

Sewer Rehabilitation/Construction

 

For construction projects, a two-step review and approval process must be followed.

 

First, construction plans and specifications, along with the "Federal Requirement Insert," which outlines federal requirements and contract provisions, must be submitted to 3 Rivers Wet Weather for review and approval by the Army Corps of Engineers. Once this package is approved, the Corps will issue a notice to advertise for bids.

 

The second step in the process involves documenting key elements outlined in 40 CFR 31.36, including adherence to the Six Affirmative Steps related to contracting with small, minority and women's business enterprises (SBE, MBE, WBE). This documentation, also called the Part B Package, is submitted to 3 Rivers Wet Weather for review and approval by the PA Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP). Once the documentation has been approved, PA DEP will issue a "Notice to Proceed" with construction.
