This technical specification document outlines the requirements for post-mounted sign fabrication and installation for the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Morrisville's 2026 Design/Build Curb Ramp Project in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The work scope encompasses the furnishing and installation of fabricated aluminum signs mounted on steel S or W beam posts with breakaway systems, in accordance with PennDOT Publication 408 Section 931 standards. All materials must comply with specified sections of PennDOT Publication 408, including sections addressing material standards for aluminum and steel components. Installation requirements mandate that posts be erected plumb without twisting, bending, or deformation, with signs properly leveled, aligned, centered, and fastened using hardware detailed in the TC 8700 Standard Series. The project timeline specifies a 45 consecutive calendar day contract duration from the Notice to Proceed, with electronic bid submissions required through PennBid by November 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

Sign installation locations are approximate, with exact positioning to be established on-site and marked by stake or paint marks with identifying symbols. Contractors must ensure damaged posts and signs are repaired or replaced as necessary. The project requires bidders to demonstrate prior experience with at least three similar projects valued at 75 percent or more of the proposed contract amount. Performance bonds, labor and material payment bonds, maintenance bonds, and comprehensive insurance documentation are mandatory. A 10 percent bid bond or certified check payable to the Owner is required with each bid submission. No specific budget range is disclosed in the documentation, and bidders must adhere to all PennDOT Publication 408 standards and Borough Standards for the complete curb ramp project, which includes sidewalks, curbing, and sign relocation in addition to sign installation work.
