Montour County Flagging

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically through PennDOT's Engineering District 3-3 in Montour County, is seeking a qualified contractor to provide temporary traffic control and flagging services. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a contract term from the contract issuance date through June 28, 2024, with a potential three-month extension option. The primary deliverable involves providing trained flagging personnel capable of simultaneously managing traffic control at a minimum of two separate work areas, with PennDOT requiring a minimum 24-hour notice for service requests. Contractors must have sufficient personnel, equipment, and training to comply with all Pennsylvania Department of Transportation publications and regulations. The bid response requires submission of several key documents, including a Contractor Information Form, Worker Protection Certification, and proof of specified insurance coverage. The proposal is due by July 10, 2023, with award anticipated to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors, with an emphasis on small business participation. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with Pennsylvania labor laws, including Unemployment Compensation and Workers' Compensation regulations. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, with the Commonwealth named as an additional insured party. Contractors will be compensated at an hourly rate for flaggers, with a minimum eight-hour daily payment guaranteed, including travel time between sites on the same day. Potential financial penalties exist for non-compliance, including liquidated damages for failure to provide a full complement of trained personnel. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract structure suggests a variable-spend arrangement based on actual flagging services rendered throughout Montour County.
