Renovation Services Lock #60 Workman's Cottage

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is requesting proposals for interior and exterior renovation services to the Workman's Cottage at Lock 60 park, located at 400 Tow Path Road, Mont Clare, with proposals due September 17, 2026. The work is structured as coordinated, concurrent multiple prime contracts covering General Construction, Mechanical (HVAC), Plumbing, and Electrical, managed by architect Seiler Drury Architecture.

Scope spans comprehensive renovation including structural repairs, demolition, concrete and masonry work, metals, wood, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, electrical systems, and exterior improvements. All work must occur during standard hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday–Friday); off-hours work requires Owner approval. Contractors are responsible for survey work, utility locating through PA One Call and third-party locators, permitting (except the general building permit, Owner-funded), and all required inspections with no markup allowed on allowance items.

Each prime contractor must include contingency allowances in base bids: General Construction, Electrical, HVAC, and Plumbing each at $15,000 for unforeseen conditions and removal/relocation/replacement work. Contractors must provide comprehensive quality assurance and quality control plans, project-specific safety plans with detailed hazard analysis, daily pre-task planning, and full OSHA and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation compliance. Daily construction reporting, site security with locked gates at shift end, material-delivery coordination to minimize on-site storage, and protection of existing facilities and adjacent properties are required. Substance abuse and weapons are prohibited on-site with immediate removal for violations.

No contract value, budget range, contract term, incumbent contractor, or evaluation criteria are identified in the source documents.
