This is an MBE/WBE Section 3 Commitment Statement form issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) for Contract No. C000083242, the State Theatre External Rehabilitation project administered by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Uniontown. The invitation for bids solicits sealed bids submitted electronically via PennBid until 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for 11:00 AM on December 22nd, 2025 at the project site. Bidders must submit bids electronically through PennBid; faxed, emailed, or hand-delivered bids will not be accepted. Additional contract documents are available at no cost on the PennBid platform, and bidders must submit questions electronically through PennBid's "Ask a Question" feature.

The commitment statement requires bidders to document certified minority-owned businesses (MBEs) and women-owned businesses (WBEs) from which they solicited or received quotes, with minimum participation levels (MPL) established at 5% for MBE and 3% for WBE. Bidders must list each subcontractor and supplier by company name, EIN/SSN, telephone number, type of services or supplies, total dollar amount, and total commitment dollar amount. A presumption of responsibility may be made if MBE/WBE dollar commitments reflect the minimum participation levels. Bidder contracts with subcontractors and suppliers must be established at least five days prior to the bid opening date. Each proposal must be accompanied by a bidder's bond or certified/cashier's check in the amount of not less than 10%, and no bid may be withdrawn for 60 days. The project is funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program and is subject to all related federal regulations, including federal prevailing wage requirements.
