Appendix G outlines Other DCED Requirements applicable to the Whistlestop Park project (Contract 2022-01256.01) managed by Montgomery Township in Pennsylvania. The document establishes regulatory and compliance standards that contractors must meet when executing work funded through DCED (Department of Community and Economic Development) grants. Key requirements include adherence to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act (Act 422) provisions, Pennsylvania Public Works Employment Verification (Act 127), and maintenance of specified bonding and insurance coverage throughout project execution. The project scope encompasses rehabilitation of a softball field, construction of perimeter fencing for a new playground, installation of pickleball courts, development of a loop trail, construction of stormwater management basins, rehabilitation of an existing basin, and installation of associated landscaping. Sealed bids are due April 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM via PennBid, with bid opening and public reading scheduled for the same date at Montgomery Township offices (1001 Stump Road, Montgomeryville, PA 18936). Bidders must submit a 10% bid bond based on the maximum amount bid, and the successful contractor must provide Performance and Payment Bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount, plus a Maintenance Bond of 15% of the Contract Award Price.

The appendix emphasizes compliance with prevailing wage rates established by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry and mandatory employment verification procedures. All bids remain subject to acceptance for sixty (60) days after bid opening, with withdrawal permitted only within two (2) business days following opening. A nominal PennBid fee of 0.33% of the bid amount (minimum $150, maximum $6,000 plus tax) applies only to awarded contractors. The document ensures that contractors understand DCED-specific requirements as conditions of contract performance and funding eligibility, establishing a compliance framework for state-funded infrastructure projects.
