About this file
This is a Small Diverse Business (SDB) Solicitation Form for the State System of Higher Education, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, related to solicitation CWU-89-L for the Bentley Street Level Renovation at Lock Haven Campus. The project involves renovation of 3,810 square feet of interior space at Lock Haven University requiring separate prime contractors in three disciplines: General Construction (including selective demolition, interior glazing and decorative walls, flooring, exterior signage, and painting), HVAC Construction (ceiling diffuser replacement, new mini-split heat pump installation, and sprinkler head resetting), and Electrical Construction (new interior lighting, additional outlets, and IT infrastructure). A mandatory pre-bid conference with site visit is scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST at Bentley Dining Hall. Electronic bids are due no later than 1:00 PM EST on December 8, 2026, through PennBid. The General Contractor will serve as the Lead Prime Contractor responsible for coordination among the separate prime contractors.
This form requires the prime bidder to document all SDB solicitations undertaken, including the firms solicited, scope of work, estimated values, dates of solicitation, quotes received, and any commitments made. SDB firms must be registered in the Pennsylvania Department of General Services SDB database. The form mandates that bidders attach written evidence of solicitations and quotes, including negative responses from solicited SDBs. Credit toward the REAA (Resident Employee Advancement Account) is awarded only once per scope of work, with multiple solicitations for identical scopes not counting more than once cumulatively. Non-SDB firms need only be listed if they received solicitations for the same scopes as SDBs, provided lower quotes from non-SDBs are the basis of commitments to those firms.

Instructions for SDB Solicitation Form
Bidder Information: Self-explanatory. The Contact Person should be the person familiar with the information on the Form. If the prime bidder itself is an SDB, state so on the form. SDBs must be in the PA DGS SDB database. If the prime bidder is an SDB, no proactive solicitation is required.

Firms Solicited: All SDB who were solicited must be listed. List the SDB firm's name and address, along with the name and telephone number of the person contacted at the SDB. Additionally, any Non-SDB Firm who was solicited for the same scopes of work and/or materials for which SDB were solicited, and from whom a written quote was received that is lower than the lowest quote received from an SDB and which is the basis of a commitment to that Non-SDB Firm, must be listed. However, any Non-SDB Firm who was solicited for the same scopes of work and/or materials for which SDB were solicited, and from whom a written quote was not received, or from whom a written quote was received but which is not the basis of a commitment to that Non-SDB Firm, need not be listed. Solicitations for scopes of work and/or materials which did not include any SDB need not be listed.
