23WHM SGL62 Fuel Tank Storage

The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) is soliciting electronic bids for a comprehensive fuel tank storage project at State Game Lands 062 located in Hamlin Township, McKean County. The procurement involves furnishing and installing a new 2,000-gallon above-ground storage tank with two separate 1,000-gallon compartments, including fuel dispense systems for gasoline and diesel. Key deliverables include installing fuel storage tanks, related safety features, electrical power supply, leak detection systems, emergency power disconnects, and removing the existing storage tank and guiderail. The project requires precise technical specifications, including a ConVault or equivalent double-wall steel tank with concrete encasement, protective bollards, and comprehensive site preparation. Electronic bids will be opened on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the bid submission deadline set for October 20, 2025. Interested bidders are encouraged to contact Steve Peterson or Kurt Bennett for site access and are required to submit proposals electronically through the Commonwealth's SRM system. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with potential reference checks to verify experience and qualifications.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but vendors must have a Vendor Number to conduct business with the Pennsylvania Game Commission and can register through the state supplier portal. Contractors must comply with various labor regulations, including a minimum wage requirement of $15.00 per hour for contract-related services. The project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation and public liability insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is scheduled to commence upon purchase order delivery and terminate on June 30, 2026. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment, and comply with prevailing wage requirements and worker protection certifications. Payment will be made on a monthly basis upon satisfactory completion of items listed on the Schedule of Values, with the potential for withholding payment for incomplete or unsuitable work. The project also incorporates the Commonwealth's Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements, which may provide preferential treatment to Pennsylvania-based businesses.
