23WHM SGL 53 New Access Rd

The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) is soliciting electronic bids for a road construction project located in Licking Creek Township, Fulton County, involving the development of a new 15,840 ft (3-mile) access road on State Game Lands #053. The project encompasses comprehensive road infrastructure improvements, including clearing and grubbing, drainage feature installations, road-base construction, surface preparation, grading, and compaction. Key deliverables include constructing approximately 1,140 linear feet of new access road with specific technical requirements such as PENNDOT 2A and AASHTO aggregate types, geotextile fabric installation, and native seed restoration. Bidders must demonstrate experience in similar projects and be prepared to provide references from at least three comparable projects completed within the past three years. The electronic bid will be opened on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the Division of Contracts and Procurement in Harrisburg, with questions directed to Austin Kieffer at 717-787-4250 Ext. 73613 or akieffer@pa.gov. Interested contractors must have a vendor number assigned through the state supplier portal and submit proposals electronically using the SRM system.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract (No. PGC-053-25-01) is scheduled to commence upon purchase order delivery and terminate on October 30th, 2025, with payment made monthly based on satisfactory completion of items in the Schedule of Values. Contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract amount, and prevailing wage rates will apply. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the project involving road construction, drainage, and environmental restoration suggests a significant investment. The Commonwealth will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the PGC reserving the right to request additional information or references. No bid guarantee or bond is required for submission, and the final contract will result in a purchase order, with no work authorized until the vendor receives the official document.
