About this file

This document is a Supplementary Conditions agreement for the SEDCO Highridge Business Park East project located in Foster Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The supplementary conditions amend and supplement the Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract (EJCDC C-700, 2007 Edition) and establish specific requirements for work including site clearing, grubbing, grading, storm pipe installation, precast storm structures, seeding, mulching, erosion and sediment controls, stone paving, finish paving, and water and sewer extensions. The sealed Request for Proposals submission deadline was Noon on September 7, 2026, via PennBid.

No Resident Project Representative will be assigned; instead, the Engineer and Owner will conduct periodic site reviews during construction. The Owner will furnish up to four printed copies of the Drawings and Project Manual plus one electronic set, with additional copies available at reproduction cost.

The contractor must comply with Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage requirements and provide certified payroll documentation with each payment request. Performance and Payment Bonds, each at 100 percent of the contract amount, are required prior to contract award with a corporate surety approved by the Owner. Contractor's liability insurance requirements include General Aggregate coverage of $2,000,000, Products-Completed Operations Aggregate of $1,000,000, and Each Occurrence coverage of $1,000,000, with additional insured endorsements for SEDCO, WJP Engineers, the Schuylkill County Industrial Development Authority, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The contractor must comply with Pennsylvania Steel Products Procurement Act restrictions prohibiting use of steel and aluminum products from Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, and Spain. Additional compliance requirements include the Underground Utility Line Protection Law (Act 287 of 1996), DEP Regulation Chapter 102 for erosion control, Pennsylvania Human Relations Act non-discrimination provisions, Architectural Barriers Act and ADA accessibility standards, and Trade Practices Act restrictions. Equipment rental costs for contractor-owned machinery will be calculated using rates from The Blue Book divided by 176 hours monthly, with equipment valued under $1,000 classified as small tools. Arbitration will serve as the dispute resolution mechanism, with arbitration fees and expenses shared equally by Owner and Contractor.
