Birdsboro 2026 Road Project

The Borough of Birdsboro is soliciting sealed bids for milling and paving services on various streets within the municipality, with work to be performed on Kelly Drive (1,703 feet long, 34 feet wide) and Morgan Way (156 feet long, 34 feet wide), along with an alternate bid option for a 2-inch overlay of Hampton Drive (622 feet long, 18 feet wide). Bids must be submitted online through the PennBid portal no later than May 14, 2026 at 10:00 AM, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for May 7, 2026 at 1:00 PM at Borough Hall located at 202 East Main Street, Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. The selected contractor must complete all work within 120 calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed and must comply with current Borough building codes and PennDOT standards, with the Borough responsible for base repairs and riser installation prior to overlay work. All work performed under this contract is subject to Pennsylvania prevailing wage rates. Bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond equal to 10 percent of the bid amount from a surety licensed to conduct business in Pennsylvania, and must provide a Performance and Maintenance Bond equal to the full contract amount, a Labor and Materialmen's Bond, Workers' Compensation insurance, and public liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate, along with property damage insurance of $500,000 per accident and $1,000,000 aggregate. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day will be assessed for any delays beyond the completion deadline.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation materials, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with the Borough reserving the right to adjust the scope of work by deleting items or reducing quantities as deemed appropriate. Progress payments will be subject to 10 percent retainage until 50 percent completion is achieved, after which retainage reduces to 5 percent. While no specific budget or award value is provided in the available documentation, the scope of work encompassing approximately 2,481 linear feet of primary milling and paving operations, plus the optional 622-foot Hampton Drive overlay, suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure project. All solicitation documents and detailed specifications are available at no cost through the PennBid online portal at www.PennBid.net.
