RCO Subcontractor Certification Form - Borough of Doylestown

This is a Responsible Contractor Ordinance (RCO) Subcontractor Certification Form for the Borough of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, related to Contract 2400754 for Fanny Chapman Memorial Pool Main Pool Repairs. The form is a required document that subcontractors must complete and submit as part of the bidding process for this concrete pool restoration project. The project involves repairing approximately 2,900 square feet of the main pool by removing surface concrete to competent substrate and resurfacing with polymer-modified concrete, including grout injection to fill void spaces underneath the pool. Alternate bid items are available to expand the scope to an additional 1,960 square feet of pool surface. Sealed bids are due September 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM via the PennBid Program, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the pool location (10 McKinstry Drive, Doylestown, PA 18901). Project completion is scheduled for April 1, 2026.

The RCO Subcontractor Certification Form ensures compliance with the Borough's contractor responsibility ordinance and establishes that subcontractors meet specific qualification criteria. Subcontractors must demonstrate participation in formal apprenticeship training programs, with at least 70% of craft employees being graduates of registered apprenticeship programs. The form requires documentation verifying employee qualifications, including OSHA safety training certifications and appropriate licenses. All work is subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act (Act 422) and Public Works Employment Verification (Act 127) requirements. Contractors must provide bid bonds, non-collusion affidavits, and comprehensive contractor responsibility certifications. Payment will be structured on a monthly basis with initial 10% retainage, potentially reducing to 5% once the project reaches 50% completion. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per day for delays beyond the specified completion date. The project will be funded through municipal sources, with PennBid assessing a nominal fee of 0.33% of the bid amount (minimum $150, maximum $6,000) to awarded contractors.
