23NW Three Tims Rd Project

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is conducting an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the 23NW Three Tims Road Project, a road maintenance and improvement initiative on State Game Lands (SGL) #154/263 in Wayne Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. The primary scope of work encompasses culvert pipe installations, resurfacing, and related construction activities on approximately 11,135 linear feet of existing access roadway distributed across two game lands parcels. Bidders must submit firm bids with all quantities estimated in dollars and cents with no fractional cent amounts accepted through the Commonwealth's electronic system (SRM), with electronic bid opening scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Division of Contracts and Procurement, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. An optional pre-bid site inspection tour will be held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the State Game Land 263 parking lot along Hereford Road (coordinates: 41.9565340, -79.6210141), and bidders are strongly encouraged to visit the project site to assess existing conditions including site access, road conditions, topography, utility proximity, existing infrastructure, vegetation, and other relevant constraints that will impact their proposals. Technical questions regarding project specifications and requirements should be directed to Brad Holcomb, Wildlife Habitat Group Manager for the PGC Northwest Region, at 717-805-4931 or bholcomb@pa.gov. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be awarded a single contract, unless the Commonwealth determines that line-item award is in its best interest.

The contract documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting competition to particular enterprise categories, indicating this procurement is open to all responsive and responsible bidders meeting the Commonwealth's requirements. All contractors must comply with Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions requiring payment of no less than $15.00 per hour adjusted annually, maintain Worker's Compensation Insurance and Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance with minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence, and certify compliance with Pennsylvania labor and workforce safety laws including the Prevailing Wage Act and Construction Workplace Misclassification Act. Performance security equal to 100 percent of the total contract price must be submitted within ten days after the Contract Effective Date in the form of a performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, certificate of deposit, or certified check. The successful contractor must register in the Commonwealth's Vendor Master file and submit ACH payment information within 10 days of award. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the contract opportunity materials provided; the ultimate contract value will be determined by the lowest responsive bid received by the April 21, 2026 deadline.
