2025 Paving Projects

The Town of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, is soliciting bids for the 2025 Paving Projects (Contract No. 1004-60), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative focused on pavement rehabilitation, active transportation enhancements, and pedestrian accessibility upgrades. The project scope encompasses milling and overlay work on Market Street, installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps, and parking and accessibility improvements at the town's public skate park. Bidders must submit detailed documentation including performance and payment bonds, business authorization evidence, contractor licenses, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Electronic bids will be received through the PennBID Program until 8:00 AM on September 11, 2025, with all bidder questions due by September 4, 2025. The contract stipulates a targeted substantial completion date of November 1, 2025, and a final completion date of November 8, 2025, with liquidated damages set at $1,000 per day for delays in meeting these milestones.

The project will be awarded as a unit price contract, requiring bidders to provide pricing for various line items across different project areas. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the contract mandates compliance with prevailing wage rates as determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry. The project will be funded locally, with a payment structure that includes 90% payment during construction and full payment upon substantial completion. Bidders must be prepared to adjust pricing based on actual quantities performed, and the contract includes provisions for potential quantity modifications. Although a specific budget range is not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the project and the multiple improvement areas suggest a significant infrastructure investment for the Town of Bloomsburg.
