North Penn-Liberty Jr-Sr High School & North Penn-Mansfield Jr-Sr High School Cafeteria Renovations

The Southern Tioga School District is soliciting sealed bids from general contractors for cafeteria renovation work at two junior-senior high schools: North Penn-Liberty Jr-Sr High School (8675 State Route 414, Liberty, PA 16930) and North Penn-Mansfield Jr-Sr High School (73 West Wellsboro Street, Mansfield, PA 16933). The procurement scope includes structural modifications to create new wall openings between kitchen and cafeteria areas, installation of new accordion door assemblies, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, new interior finishes including metal stud framing and terrazzo flooring, and associated site work. All work must commence by June 8, 2026, and achieve substantial completion by August 7, 2026, with liquidated damages of $100 per day for failure to meet substantial completion dates and $500 per day for failure to correct punch list items within thirty days. Sealed bids must be submitted online through the PennBid Program by 10:00 A.M. prevailing time on May 1, 2026. A mandatory virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 16, 2026, at 10:00 A.M., with a mandatory in-person site visit on April 17, 2026, at 9:00 A.M., beginning at the Liberty location; all bidders must register by noon on April 15, 2026, by emailing jmonroig@alloy5.com. Questions from prime bidders are accepted through PennBid only until 5:00 P.M. prevailing time on April 24, 2026. The successful bidder will be selected based on lowest responsible and qualified bidder criteria, with the apparent low bidder and next two lowest bidders required to submit original bidding documents within two business days of bid opening.

All bids must be accompanied by bid security equal to ten percent of the base bid, with performance and payment bonds required at one hundred percent of the contract amount from the successful bidder. The project is subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act requirements, with specified wage rates for both the Mansfield and Liberty locations. All contractors must comply with Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) requirements and prevailing wage obligations, as the project is financed in part by an Alternative and Clean Energy (ACE) Grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority. Retainage will be withheld at ten percent of each payment until work reaches fifty percent completion, then reduced to five percent thereafter. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are referenced in the solicitation documents. The district reserves the right to waive non-material defects in any bid and to reject all bids. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents, though the district will award the contract to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder meeting all technical and compliance requirements.
