This is a project manual title sheet for Contract No. 2400754 prepared by Gilmore & Associates, Inc. for the Borough of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The document serves as the cover page for the Fanny Chapman Memorial Pool Main Pool Repairs project manual. The project involves comprehensive concrete pool restoration work scheduled for completion by April 1, 2026. The base bid scope encompasses repairs to approximately 2,900 square feet of the main pool through removal of surface concrete to competent substrate and resurfacing with polymer-modified concrete, including grout injection to fill void spaces. Alternate bid items are available to expand the scope by 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). Bids remain subject to acceptance for sixty days following the public opening and reading.

The project is subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act (Act 422) and Public Works Employment Verification (Act 127) requirements. Contractors must demonstrate participation in formal apprenticeship training programs, with at least 70% of craft employees being registered apprenticeship program graduates, and must maintain appropriate licenses and OSHA safety training certifications. The contract includes monthly payment structure with initial 10% retainage, potentially reducing to 5% once the project reaches 50% completion, with liquidated damages set at $500 per day for delays. A nominal PennBid fee of 0.33% of the bid amount (minimum $150, maximum $6,000) applies only to awarded contractors. The project will be funded through municipal sources, with the Borough retaining the right to reject any or all bids and select the most advantageous combination of base and alternate bids.
