Driveway Grade Shale Delivered and Tailgated FD 1

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), specifically the Michaux State Forest in Franklin County, is seeking a contractor to deliver and tailgate approximately 1,600 tons of Driveway Grade Shale to District Road, starting at Rocky Mountain Road and ending prior to Black Bill Road in Quincy Township. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with electronic submission requirements through the Commonwealth's electronic system (SRM). Bids must be submitted by August 14, 2020, with delivery expected to occur between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM under conditions determined by the District Forester. Contractors are required to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, tools, and insurance to complete the project, and may be asked to provide references demonstrating previous similar work. The contract will commence upon execution of the purchase order and terminate on December 31, 2020, with the unit price bid covering all associated project costs.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for small, minority, or disadvantaged businesses, though bidders must comply with Commonwealth nondiscrimination requirements. Contractors must complete the Reciprocal Limitations Act Form, which requires identifying the state of manufacture for materials and potentially provides preference to Pennsylvania-based businesses. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award by line item and terminate the contract for convenience, non-appropriation of funds, or contractor default. While the exact budget is not specified, the project involves approximately 1,600 tons of shale material, suggesting a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project. Invoicing will be processed upon satisfactory completion of the project, with payments made for actual services performed and acceptable slate delivery, and invoices must include the purchase order number and the bidder's SAP Vendor Number.
