About this opportunity

The City of Scranton, located in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, is seeking sealed bids for a 24-month street light maintenance contract running from September 22, 2022, through September 22, 2024. The procurement is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for comprehensive street light maintenance services, which include scheduled and emergency maintenance tasks such as replacing damaged poles, repairing burned-out bulbs, replacing ballasts, relocating and removing poles, rerouting wiring, and addressing broken electrical infrastructure. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the city's e-Procurement Portal by September 19, 2022, at 10:00 am, with mandatory registration on the portal to receive project notifications. Potential contractors must provide pricing for two distinct service schedules: standard service during weekday business hours and emergency services outside those timeframes. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest, most responsible bidder, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all submissions. All communication regarding the ITB, including questions and clarification requests, must be submitted through the portal's Q&A function by September 15, 2022, at 2:00 pm.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Each bidder is required to submit a $500 cashier's check, certified check, or bid bond as a guarantee, with the successful vendor mandated to provide a $1,000 surety bond within ten days of contract award. The contract includes performance penalties, specifically a $100 charge for each hour beyond specified response windows. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the procurement suggests a comprehensive service contract with payment structured on hourly rates for both manpower and truck usage. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the contract's scope and detailed requirements indicate a significant municipal infrastructure maintenance project. Interested vendors must complete all mandatory documentation, including affirmative action, non-segregated facilities, non-collusion affidavit, and disclosure forms as part of their submission.
