Replace Siding & Roofing Materials

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting bids for a contract to replace siding and roofing materials at the Temple Stockpile #01 in Berks County, specifically for the Husky Salt Storage Building located at 4680 North 5th St. Highway, Temple, PA. The project, identified as A251-972, requires a comprehensive renovation involving the removal and replacement of exterior siding with a vinyl siding system, replacement of existing roofing with painted steel, and reinstallation of electrical connections, signage, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Mandatory requirements include submitting two copies of detailed documentation such as cost breakdowns, work schedules, engineered drawings, and product data for review and approval prior to commencing work. A mandatory pre-bid site walk-through is scheduled for January 11, 2016, at 1:00 pm, and final bids are due on January 19, 2016, at 10:00 am through an electronic portal. The contract stipulates that all work must be completed and approved by the District Facilities Administrator within 90 days of the award date, with the successful bidder required to provide performance and payment bonds each valued at 100% of the contract amount.

The procurement includes specific requirements for diverse business participation, mandating that bidders demonstrate good faith efforts to solicit subcontractors from Diverse Businesses (DBs) as defined in Pennsylvania's statutes. Contractors must verify that all employees performing public work are authorized to work in the United States using the federal E-Verify program. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with payment structured in four installments based on project milestone completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract includes prevailing wage rate requirements that contractors must adhere to for all labor categories. Bidders must comply with non-discrimination, integrity, and responsibility requirements, and the Department of Transportation will monitor compliance with diverse business participation throughout the contract performance. The project also emphasizes environmental sustainability, with contractors required to adhere to PennDOT's Strategic Environmental Management Program (SEMP) standards and ensure personnel are trained on environmental impact considerations.
