Chimney Demo, Tunkhannock, Wyoming County

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting bids for a chimney demolition project located at the Tunkhannock Stockpile #01 in Wyoming County. The project, identified as Project #11627100, requires a contractor to completely demolish a steel chimney within 45 days of contract award. A mandatory walk-through was scheduled for March 13, 2014, with bid submissions due on March 21, 2014. The solicitation includes comprehensive attachments such as a location map, site plan, and photographic documentation to support bidders in understanding the project scope. Potential bidders were required to submit all administrative and technical questions to the Bid Contact, Susan Zellers, prior to the walk-through, and subsequently to Facilities Administrator Stephen Shields. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the successful contractor expected to fully comply with all terms and conditions specified in the solicitation documents.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to qualified contractors capable of executing the chimney demolition project. While an incumbent vendor is not mentioned, the project requires technical expertise in structural demolition and adherence to safety protocols. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the scope suggests a relatively limited-scale project focused on a single demolition site. The contract term is tied to the completion of the demolition work, which is expected to be accomplished within 45 days of award. Contractors will be compensated based on the prices quoted in their bid, with the Commonwealth retaining the right to terminate the contract under various conditions, including convenience, non-appropriation of funds, or contractor default.
