23 WHM SGL 287 Brace Tree Road

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking a road maintenance contract for State Game Lands #287, specifically located on Brace Tree Road, spanning jurisdictions in Armstrong County and Harveys Lake Borough. The procurement involves comprehensive road maintenance services, including drainage improvements, road surface preparation, and roadway construction utilizing base material and #2A coarse aggregate. Bidders are required to have a vendor number assigned by the Commonwealth and must be prepared to submit electronic bids by the due date of June 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with an emphasis on site assessment and comprehensive understanding of existing conditions. Potential contractors must demonstrate technical competence in road maintenance, drainage infrastructure development, and aggregate road construction techniques. Site visits are encouraged to accurately assess the project requirements and existing roadway conditions prior to bid submission.

The procurement appears to have specific state-level restrictions under the Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preference to bidders offering products or services produced within Pennsylvania. Contractors must complete documentation certifying their business location and residency status to be eligible for potential preference considerations. The contract requires strict compliance with worker protection regulations, including adherence to the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, Minimum Wage Act, and Prevailing Wage Act. Contractors must also meet federal requirements related to nondiscrimination, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and active recruitment of minority subcontractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract will be issued as a Purchase Order, with no work authorized until the vendor receives formal documentation. Providing false certifications could result in contract termination and potential three-year ineligibility for future Commonwealth contract opportunities.
