Pike PennDOT pothole patcher w-materials

The state of Pennsylvania, specifically through PennDOT and involving Philadelphia County and Milroy CDP, is seeking a mobile portable pothole patching machine with an operator and materials for county-wide road repair services. The procurement opportunity, posted on February 11, 2019, with a response deadline of February 27, 2019, requires a mobile road patcher unit capable of moving while patching and producing up to 5 tons of finished material per day. The patcher must have a minimum 5 ton/cubic yard aggregate hopper and be fully equipped with required safety and operational equipment. The operator must possess over one year of experience and hold an appropriate Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Key deliverables include responsive road repair services, with the contractor required to respond within 48 hours of notification and provide a minimum 14-day warranty on all roadway repairs. Material specifications mandate the use of asphalt, oil, and washed aggregate meeting Pub. 408 standards, with acceptable asphalt emulsions including E-3, CRS-2, and CMS-2 depending on ambient and surface temperatures.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified contractors with appropriate road maintenance equipment and expertise. The procurement does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available documentation. The contract seems focused on securing a mobile road patching solution with specific technical and operational requirements. Though a precise award value is not specified, the scope suggests a localized, potentially short-term contract for road maintenance services in Pike County. The successful vendor will need to provide not only the mobile patching equipment but also all necessary materials, trained personnel, and meet stringent material and performance specifications as outlined in the procurement documents.
