In accordance with Pennsylvania Act 172 requirements, the contractor must also notify utility companies in advance of any work affecting their services and conduct all excavation in the vicinity of existing utilities with extreme caution. The contract requires a 10% bid bond or certified check, performance bonds, labor and material payment bonds, and comprehensive insurance documentation.
