7840640000, Modular Rental Unit - 309

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking to procure a modular rental unit for its Montgomery County Maintenance Stockpile #06 facility located on Route 309 in Spring House, PA. The procurement involves renting a modular unit with a minimum of 360 square feet that can accommodate 10 people, complete with electricity, HVAC, and accessibility features. The contractor will be responsible for delivering, installing, and subsequently removing the modular unit, and must ensure compliance with all Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (L&I) requirements and local codes. The contractor must obtain all necessary permits and licenses for the unit. The initial contract period is one year, with potential options for extension. Bids were to be submitted electronically by September 21, 2020, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The solicitation does not specify a formal pre-bid conference or site visit, and questions were to be submitted in writing to the designated Issuing Officer.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the procurement documents for disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses. The existing infrastructure will be at the PennDOT Montgomery County Maintenance Stockpile facility, and the contractor will need to integrate the modular unit with existing site conditions. While specific pricing details are not fully disclosed, the Statement of Work includes pricing considerations for delivery/installation, monthly rental, and dismantle/removal of the modular unit. The funding for this project will be provided directly by PennDOT, and the procurement will follow an Established Price Contract model. The contract terms indicate that PennDOT will provide maintenance and janitorial services for the modular unit once installed. No information is provided about an incumbent vendor, suggesting this may be a new service procurement for the department.
