This is a Mobilization section specification document for the Borough of Doylestown's Contract 2400754 for Fanny Chapman Memorial Pool Main Pool Repairs. The specification outlines the assembly and setup of general plant required to comply with contract obligations and local and state laws, including contractor offices, shops, storage areas, and sanitary facilities. The work encompasses obtaining required permits, insurance, bonds, and other initial items necessary to commence the project. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the pool location, with sealed bids due September 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM via the PennBid Program. The base project involves repairing approximately 2,900 square feet of the main pool through concrete removal and polymer-modified concrete resurfacing, with alternate bids available for an additional 1,960 square feet. Project completion is scheduled for April 1, 2026.

Mobilization costs are structured as follows: Payment 1 equals 50% of the contract bid amount minus final payment, paid at the first estimate; Payment 2 equals 50% of the contract bid amount minus final payment, paid after 10% of the original contract amount is reached (excluding mobilization); Final Payment equals 10% of the contract bid amount (not to exceed $10,000) and is paid upon completion and acceptance of all physical work. No additional mobilization compensation will be awarded for scheduling conflicts, holidays, weather, or other circumstances. The project is subject to Pennsylvania's Prevailing Wage Act (Act 422) and Public Works Employment Verification requirements (Act 127). A PennBid fee of 0.33% of the bid amount (minimum $150, maximum $6,000) applies only to awarded contractors. Payment is structured on a monthly basis with initial 10% retainage, potentially reducing to 5% upon 50% project completion, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for delays beyond the completion deadline.
