2026 Road Improvements

Weissport Borough in Carbon County, Pennsylvania is soliciting sealed proposals for its 2026 Road Improvements project through the PennBid online portal, with proposals due by 1:00 p.m. on May 27, 2026, and public opening scheduled for June 1, 2026, at the Borough Council meeting at approximately 7:00 p.m. The procurement covers bituminous paving improvements on White Street comprising three bid options: a base bid from Forge Street to Lime Street (2,694 square yards) and two alternates from Lime Street to Mill Street (2,639 square yards) and from Park Street to Forge Street (2,306 square yards). Work includes milling of bituminous surfaces at 2-inch depth, installation of Superpave WMA Scratch/Leveling Course, and Superpave WMA Wearing Course, with all materials required to comply with PennDOT Publication 408 specifications and standards. Bidders must be PennDOT prequalified for Work Class Code "F" Bituminous Paving and must submit proof of such prequalification along with sealed proposals on provided forms. A mandatory pre-construction meeting must be scheduled with the municipality at least five calendar days prior to the project start date of June 16, 2026 at the earliest, with all work to be completed by October 31, 2026, with liquidated damages of $885.00 per calendar day assessed for delays beyond that date. Final questions must be submitted by 1:00 p.m. on May 19, 2026, and a final addendum, if required, will be issued by 4:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026.

All bids must be accompanied by a certified check or bid bond equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount made payable to Weissport Borough, and the successful bidder must provide Performance and Payment Bonds each in the amount of 100 percent of the awarded contract price within 20 calendar days of award. The project is subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act requirements, though the municipality anticipates the estimated contract cost will remain under $100,000.00; prevailing wage rates will apply only if the final cost exceeds this threshold. Successful bidders must submit an Anti-Collusion Affidavit, proof of CDL Drug and Alcohol Compliance testing participation, completion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Public Works Employment Verification Form, and a Certificate of Insurance naming Weissport Borough and Hanover Engineering Associates, Inc. as additional insured parties.
