This is an AIA Document A132-2019 Standard Form of Agreement between the County of Bucks, Pennsylvania and a contractor for the Emergency Communications Radio Tower HVAC Replacements project (Mechanical Contract Spec #52-11/26). The work encompasses demolition and removal of existing Bard units from building exterior walls, furnishing and installation of new Bard units with all related ductwork connections and controls systems, and all associated power and electrical work. The project spans four sites: Buckwampum Radio Tower, New Hope Radio Tower, Newtown Radio Tower, and Solebury Radio Tower, with bidders required to submit pricing for Unit 1 replacement at each location and alternate pricing for Unit 2 replacement at each location. The contract time for completion is not later than 122 calendar days from the date of commencement, which will be fixed by notice to proceed issued by the County. The Construction Manager is Thomas Newman, P.E., and the Architect/Engineer is Jamie Boles, P.E. of Holstein White, Inc.

The contract is structured as a stipulated sum agreement with base bid and alternate pricing components. Payment terms include progress payments based on applications submitted monthly, with 10 percent retainage until 50 percent of work completion is achieved, at which point retainage reduces to 5 percent, provided written approval is granted by the Architect, Construction Manager, and Owner. Final payment shall be made within 30 days of issuance of the final Certificate for Payment. Liquidated damages are established at $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the contract completion date. The contractor must provide a 100 percent Performance Bond, 100 percent Labor and Materials Payment Bond, and 10 percent Maintenance Bond, along with comprehensive insurance including Commercial General Liability with $2,000,000 General Aggregate Limit, $1,000,000 Each Occurrence Limit, Automobile Liability with $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit, and Workers Compensation at statutory limits. The County of Bucks and associated entities must be named as additional insured on a primary and non-contributory basis. Disputes shall be resolved exclusively through litigation in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County.
