3-9. Supporting Documents 9 Subcontractor Declarations Form.pdf

This is a Subcontractor Declarations Form issued by the City of Chester, Pennsylvania for use in the bid submission process. The form requires bidders to disclose all subcontractors who will perform work exceeding one-half of one percent of the contractor's total bid price, along with the specific work each subcontractor will perform, their business address, contractor license number if applicable, and the percentage of the total contract value they represent. Bidders with no subcontractors must submit the form with "NO SUBCONTRACTORS" noted. The form applies to the Chester Police Station 3rd Floor Interior Renovations project, a lump sum contract opportunity involving approximately 1,500 square feet of renovation work including demolition, new drywall, carpet, lighting, and painting. Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Project Rates apply to this work.

The form emphasizes strict compliance requirements, stating that after bid opening, no changes or substitutions of subcontractors are permitted except as provided by law. The use of "and/or" language to list multiple subcontractors for the same work item is prohibited, and failure to comply renders the bid non-responsive and subject to rejection. Additionally, any subcontractors appearing on site without proper documentation and required insurance as outlined in the contract documents will result in immediate dismissal. This declaration requirement ensures transparency in the bidding process and allows the City to verify subcontractor qualifications, licensing, and insurance coverage prior to contract execution.
