The Pennsylvania Game Commission is soliciting electronic bids for the construction of two pole buildings at State Game Lands No. 270 in Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The procurement encompasses the design and construction of a 40' x 100' crew headquarters building (4,000 square feet) for office space and maintenance tool storage, and a 50' x 80' storage building (4,000 square feet) for equipment and implement storage. The scope of work includes complete structural framing, installation of metal siding and roof panels, concrete floor slabs with drainage systems, insulation, interior wall finishes using FRP and metal materials, garage and man doors, windows, gutters, downspouts, and all building appurtenances. Construction is divided into four separate contracts in accordance with Pennsylvania's Separation Act: General Construction (Contract No. 1), Mechanical Construction (Contract No. 2), Plumbing Construction (Contract No. 3), and Electrical Construction (Contract No. 4). The project requires compliance with Pennsylvania prevailing wage determinations (No. 26-03060), performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount, and comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum limits of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence. Bidders must submit electronic bids through the Commonwealth's SRM system by April 30, 2026 at 2:00 PM, with bids to be opened and publicly read at PGC's Division of Contracts and Procurement in Harrisburg. Site visits are encouraged and can be arranged by contacting Josh Mitchell at 814-381-9157 or Ryan Skelton at 724-646-1100, and technical questions should be directed to Zachary Whitenight at 717-787-4250 Ext. 73628. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the Commonwealth reserves the right to request references from at least three similar projects completed within the previous three years. All work must commence upon purchase order delivery and be substantially completed by June 30, 2026, with work hours limited to Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, unless prior approval is obtained.

There are no designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises; however, the solicitation is subject to Pennsylvania's Reciprocal Limitations Act, which grants preference adjustments to Pennsylvania-resident bidders and Pennsylvania-manufactured goods based on the preference percentages that would be applied by the bidder's home state, ranging from 1 percent to 15 percent depending on product category and state of origin. Bidders must comply with multiple labor and compliance certifications, including the Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form, Public Works Employment Verification through E-Verify, Construction Industry Standards, and OSHA regulations. All bidders must register as vendors in the Commonwealth's Vendor Master file and maintain current certificates of insurance naming the Commonwealth and Pennsylvania Game Commission as additional insureds. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The contract requires weekly certified payroll certifications, compliance with Pennsylvania's Unemployment Compensation Law, Workers' Compensation Law, and applicable labor and workforce safety regulations, and adherence to enhanced minimum wage provisions of $15.00 per hour with annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Commonwealth is exempt from excise taxes and Pennsylvania sales tax, and all contractors bear responsibility for permitting and associated fees, although the PGC has already secured the building permit from the Department of Labor and Industry at no cost to the contractor. Specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents.
