All work and materials must conform to PennDOT Standards and Specifications Publication 408. The contract period is 45 calendar days from Notice to Proceed with completion required by July 31, 2026, and liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day apply for failure to meet the deadline. Bidders must submit proposals on forms furnished by the Township, accompanied by a certified check or bid bond equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount, a Non-Collusion Affidavit, and a Public Works Employment Verification Form, with the successful bidder required to furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount and maintain insurance coverage including $1,000,000 general liability and automobile liability per occurrence plus $2,000,000 excess liability.

The project is subject to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act and the Public Works Employment Verification Act (Act 127 of 2012), requiring all work to be bid accordingly and contractors to comply with prevailing wage requirements. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder based on the Base Contract price, with the Township retaining discretion to select Alternate/Add-On items and the right to reject any or all bids. Pre-construction meetings are mandatory for the contractor and subcontractors prior to work commencement. Progress payments are issued monthly with 10 percent retainage during the first 50 percent of contract completion and 5 percent retainage thereafter, and a one-year maintenance bond equal to 100 percent of final payment is required upon project completion. No specific incumbent vendors or set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the procurement documents. The specific contract value is not stated in the available information, though the scope of work across the Base Contract and two alternates provides the basis for bid pricing and evaluation.
