This is a pre-bid meeting addendum for a Request for Bids issued by the Lawrence-Mercer Recycling/Solid Waste Department in Pennsylvania for collection and transportation of recyclables from countywide drop-off depots in Lawrence and Mercer Counties. The addendum documents questions and answers from the mandatory pre-bid conference held on September 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Lawrence-Mercer Recycling/Solid Waste Department located at the Public Safety Building, 1451 Countyline Road, New Castle. Sealed bids must be submitted online through PennBid no later than 3:00 p.m. on October 19, 2026, with bids to be opened on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. during the regularly scheduled Lawrence County Board of County Commissioners meeting. Bidders are required to submit bids for both Options A and B and must submit all required documentation including a proposal cover sheet signed in blue ink, bid bond, non-collusion affidavit, agreement signed by notary public, proposal sheet of rates, statement of qualifications, and proposal forms 1 through 5.

The addendum clarifies that contractors are not required to paint containers but must include pricing for container painting as an ancillary service on the proposal sheet. If the Counties request container painting services, the contractor will perform the work and bill the cost on the subsequent monthly invoice. All proposal documents and solicitation details are available at no cost on PennBid at https://pennbid.bonfirehub.com/, and bids will not be accepted if submitted in person.
