DSA Stony Run Road Phase 2 - F. D. #7

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bald Eagle Forest District, is seeking a contractor to deliver, paver-place, and compact approximately 7,500 tons of limestone Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) for the Stony Run Road Phase 2 project located in Union County's Harveys Lake Borough. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The specific deliverables include precise DSA material placement according to DCNR's design and construction standards, with strict requirements for material certification, delivery, placement, and compaction. The bid was posted on March 9, 2021, with a submission deadline of March 19, 2021, and no pre-bid conference was scheduled. Contractors must submit bids electronically and demonstrate compliance with technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Work. Evaluation criteria will focus on bid pricing, technical responsiveness, and adherence to DCNR's construction standards.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, though contractors must complete a DSA Certification Form demonstrating understanding of DCNR's construction standards. Contractors will be subject to the Commonwealth's Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preferences for Pennsylvania-based suppliers. The contract term will commence upon full execution of the Purchase Order and is scheduled to terminate on August 27, 2021. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves approximately 7,500 tons of limestone DSA, suggesting a substantial infrastructure improvement investment. Contractors must provide a performance bond and meet specific insurance requirements. The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any and all bids, and bid results will be posted on the e-Marketplace website following the bid opening.
