Lackawanna CG Accessories

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is seeking a contractor to supply and deliver equipment for the new Ledges Campground Loop at Lackawanna State Park, scheduled to open in Spring 2023. The procurement involves procuring specific campground accessories, including 22 ADA-compliant campfire rings, 22 ADA-compliant lantern holders, 22 recycled plastic lumber picnic tables, one 64-gallon animal-resistant recycling bin enclosure, and one bike rack capable of accommodating 6 bicycles. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder through a fixed-price contract, with bids to be submitted electronically via the PA Supplier Portal. The bid opening was originally scheduled for January 30, 2023, but has been extended to February 3, 2023, at 10:00 am following Addendum 1, which provided answers to bidder questions. Evaluation will be based on the lowest total sum, with the contract term commencing upon execution of the purchase order and terminating on April 3, 2023.

The procurement includes provisions for small businesses, with the Commonwealth offering opportunities through its Small Business Procurement Initiative. Businesses can self-certify as a Small Business (SB) or Small Diverse Business (SDB), potentially qualifying for reserved contract opportunities. The solicitation requires bidders to complete several mandatory forms, including a Worker Protection and Investment Certification, a Reciprocal Limitations Act Form, and provide information about the manufacturer and state of manufacture for each item. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract appears to be a one-time procurement for outfitting the new campground loop. Bidders must comply with various state requirements, including certifications related to lobbying and Iran-related restrictions. The Commonwealth is exempt from certain taxes, and the contract will be governed by Pennsylvania state laws.
