Additional project components include constructing a 700 square yard new parking lot, applying 350 linear feet of parking lot striping, installing 13 new parking bumpers, and placing one ADA parking sign. Bidders must submit a bid bond for 10% of their total bid, payable to the Borough of Morton, and comply with Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Rates, public works employment verification, insurance requirements, and equal opportunity provisions. Bid documents are available at no cost via the PennBid Program website, with the successful bidder required to pay a program fee of 1/3% of the contract value, subject to a minimum of $150 and a maximum of $6,000. The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders must provide a performance bond and payment bond for 100% of the contract price, along with a one-year maintenance bond for 10% of the contract price. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the park improvements suggests a significant capital investment.
