Carroll Commons Restroom Project

Carroll Valley Borough is requesting proposals from qualified, licensed general contractors for construction of a new 7' × 7' ADA-compliant public restroom building with exterior concrete pad at Carroll Commons Park, 5685 Fairfield Road, Fairfield, Pennsylvania, with proposals due November 5, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.

The project is funded by a Local Share Account Grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the Department of Community and Economic Development. Pennsylvania prevailing wage rates apply; contractors must provide separate lump-sum pricing for two construction methods — Option A using CMU split-face block construction and Option B using conventional wood-frame stick-built construction — with each option priced both with and without prevailing wage compliance. Both options share identical footprints, doors, roof systems, plumbing fixtures, and site work; they differ in wall construction and interior/exterior finishes.

The scope includes site work, foundation, utilities, plumbing, electrical work, roofing, interior finishes, and site restoration. Contractors must demonstrate current Pennsylvania licensing, maintain workers' compensation insurance and commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in aggregate, and provide proof of bonding capacity. A performance bond and payment bond, each equal to 100% of the contract value, are required within twenty days of award. Bidders must submit three references for similar projects and lists of proposed subcontractors.

Site visits are optional and can be scheduled by contacting David Hazlett, Borough Manager. The anticipated project start date is Fall 2026 with substantial completion required by May 1, 2027. Contract award is anticipated for November 10, 2026 at a public Borough Council meeting. The Borough reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive minor irregularities. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder as determined by Borough Council in the best interest of the municipality. Submissions are accepted electronically via PennBid or in writing.
