Linesville SFH Garage Roof

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is seeking a vendor to remove and replace the roofs on maintenance and garage buildings located at the Linesville State Fish Hatchery in Crawford County. This procurement is specifically for a roofing project that requires a ten-year warranty on the rubber roof, as specified in the Addendum. Electronic bid submissions are the only acceptable method for this solicitation, and interested vendors must register on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.com) to participate. The bid was posted on July 31, 2012, with a submission deadline of August 17, 2012 at 9:01 AM. A mandatory site visitation was required, and vendors were required to complete and submit a Site Visitation Attendance Sheet with their bid to be considered. Prospective bidders were instructed to monitor the Department of General Services website for any potential change notices, which would be incorporated into the original bid document.

The solicitation includes specific requirements for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with established minimum participation levels of 5% for MBEs and 3% for WBEs. Contractors must complete the MBE/WBE Subcontractor and Supplier Solicitation & Commitment Form, documenting their efforts to engage minority and women-owned businesses. The procurement is subject to the Reciprocal Limitations Act, which provides preferences to Pennsylvania-based bidders and requires detailed documentation of manufacturing origins. Prevailing wage requirements will apply to the project, mandating that contractors pay workers according to established wage standards for their job classifications. While no specific budget range was provided in the documents, the solicitation covers a roof replacement project for state fish hatchery buildings, suggesting a small to moderate-scale construction contract. Failure to comply with any of the specified requirements, including MBE/WBE participation, site visit documentation, or addendum acknowledgment, may result in bid disqualification.
