Bidders may be individuals or business entities meeting specified criteria and must submit bids electronically to RA-EPSPEED@pa.gov with the IFB title clearly stated in the subject line. Questions regarding bidding procedures should be directed to Brian Franklin at 717.787.2471 or brfranklin@pa.gov. Work must be completed in accordance with the Scope of Work, Contract Terms and Conditions, and DEP procedures.

Vendors responding to this IFB must establish and submit fully burdened hourly rates for each Qualified Professional resource title they intend to utilize under the contract. These hourly rates will be binding for the full contract term and must be posted publicly by DEP, with any quotes provided during contract performance required to align exactly with the submitted rates. The Cost Sheet specifies that no administrative, per diem, or travel charges will be paid for performance of services, and all anticipated expenses must be incorporated into the hourly rates. The example provided indicates that resource titles such as Geologist should include corresponding hourly rates, with vendors required to clearly identify their company name and all resource categories on the submission.
