Beaver County Flagging

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Maintenance District 11-2 in Beaver County, is seeking qualified vendors to provide on-call flagging and traffic control services for active work zones. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for maintenance and protection of traffic, requiring vendors to supply trained personnel, necessary equipment, and materials in compliance with PennDOT publications and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide flagging services within 24 hours of notification, with no guaranteed minimum work volume. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with unit pricing established for flagger personnel during regular and premium hours. Key submission details include an electronic bid due date of January 31, 2020, with the contract term commencing on the Original PO Effective Date and continuing until complete delivery, acceptance, and payment. Evaluation will focus on pricing, compliance with specifications, and the contractor's ability to meet operational requirements including personnel readiness, equipment availability, and adherence to safety standards.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, bidders must comply with the Commonwealth's Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment Clause and Contractor Integrity Provisions. Vendors will be required to provide evidence of appropriate insurance coverage and maintain professional standards of personal protective equipment. The contract allows for potential three-month term extensions and reserves the Commonwealth's right to terminate for convenience, non-appropriation of funds, or default. Payment will be based on actual hours worked, with specific invoicing requirements mandating detailed documentation of work performed, including location, dates, times, and authorizing official. Though no specific budget range was provided, the procurement suggests a flexible, as-needed contract model with compensation structured around hourly rates for flagging services. The Commonwealth maintains significant discretion in contract administration, including the potential to award by line item if determined to be in the best interest of the public entity.
