Deliver, paver-place and roll DSA on Oregon Road

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, specifically Buchanan State Forest (Forest District #2), is seeking a contractor to deliver, paver-place, and roll approximately 2,733 tons of limestone-derived driving surface aggregate (DSA) on Oregon Road. The project requires the selected vendor to provide transportation and escort staff to the quarry, deliver DSA at a rate of 1,600 tons per day during approved work hours, and complete paving and rolling to DCNR specifications by June 30, 2017. Bidders must submit an electronic Invitation for Bid, a DCNR-Bureau of Forestry DSA Certification Form verifying the surface material meets required criteria, and a Reciprocal Limitations Act form listing the state of manufacture. The DSA must meet strict material requirements, including specific size gradation, LA abrasion standards, plasticity index, and pH range. Technical questions should be directed to Bryan S. Wilford (717-485-3148) or Jason Hall (717-787-3706), while bidding and contractual questions should be addressed to Nancy Weibley (717-783-2566). The bid is due by April 12, 2017, with award selection based on the lowest total sum.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to standard commercial vendors capable of meeting the technical and material specifications for driving surface aggregate delivery and placement. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project involves work within Fulton County and the Mcmurray CDP jurisdiction in Pennsylvania. The procurement documents do not specify a precise award value or budget range, though the project involves approximately 2,733 tons of DSA with potential for quantity adjustments based on DCNR's needs. Payment will be made upon satisfactory completion of the project, calculated based on actual quantities used. Bid results will be posted on the Commonwealth's e-marketplace website within three business days of the bid opening. Vendors must ensure compliance with the Reciprocal Limitations Act, which requires disclosure of manufacturing locations and may provide preferences for Pennsylvania-based businesses.
