About this file
This is a Section 01 60 00 Material and Equipment specification document for the Borough of Doylestown's Contract 2400754 - Fanny Chapman Memorial Pool Main Pool Repairs project. The specification establishes requirements for the procurement, transportation, handling, storage, and protection of all materials and equipment necessary for the pool repair work. The project involves removing surface concrete to competent substrate and resurfacing approximately 2,900 square feet of the main pool with polymer-modified concrete, with alternate bid items to expand the scope to an additional 1,960 square feet. 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). The project must be completed by April 1, 2026, and bids must remain valid for sixty (60) days after the bid opening.
The specification requires all materials and equipment to comply with manufacturer instructions for transportation and handling, with immediate inspection of shipments to verify compliance and prevent damage. Products must feature interchangeable components from the same manufacturer, and materials removed from existing premises are prohibited unless specifically permitted in the Contract Documents. Storage requirements mandate weather-tight, climate-controlled enclosures for sensitive products, with impervious coverings for products subject to deterioration and periodic inspections to ensure acceptable condition. The specification allows product substitutions only when specifically named manufacturers are included with substitution provisions; requests for substitutions require three copies of documentation with shop drawings, product data, and certified test results demonstrating equivalence, with the burden of proof on the proposer. The Borough reserves the right to require use of equipment from listed manufacturers on the bid form and will assess a nominal PennBid fee of 0.33% of the bid amount (minimum $150, maximum $6,000) to awarded contractors. The project is subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act (Act 422) and Public Works Employment Verification (Act 127) requirements.
