The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) is soliciting electronic bids for access road maintenance on State Game Lands (SGL) #24 located in Green Township, Forest County. The procurement involves resurfacing and related work on approximately 14,950 linear feet of existing access roadway, with a comprehensive scope of construction and maintenance activities. An optional site inspection tour is scheduled for Wednesday, January 18, 2023, at 10:00 AM, and electronic bids will be opened and read on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at 2:00 PM. The project requires vendors to have a vendor number assigned in the PA Supplier Portal to receive payment from the Commonwealth. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the PGC reserving the right to request references to verify bidders' experience and qualifications. The contract term will commence upon delivery of the purchase order and terminate on June 30, 2023, with monthly payments made upon satisfactory work completion.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but includes detailed worker protection requirements mandating compliance with Pennsylvania labor laws, including the Unemployment Compensation Law and Workers' Compensation Law. Contractors must complete a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form, with potential penalties for false certifications including contract termination and three-year bidding ineligibility. Performance and payment bonds are required within 10 days of contract award at 100% of the contract amount, and no specific bid guarantee is required. While the exact budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive specifications suggest a substantial infrastructure improvement project. The contract incorporates federal boilerplate language and includes provisions for nondiscrimination, agreement integrity, and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, indicating potential federal funding involvement or requirements.
