Replacement Dock Floats

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, is seeking procurement of replacement dock floats for Moraine State Park located in Butler County. The specific procurement involves supplying 120 polyethylene dock floats and associated fasteners to replace existing floats on one of three floating docks at the Crescent Bay Watercraft Rental Marina. Bidders must provide dock floats that meet precise specifications, including specific size (3ft. x 4ft. x 12in.), color requirements, and appropriate buoyancy. The solicitation requires bidders to submit shop drawings, product information, and fastening details prior to award. The contract opportunity has a strict timeline, with bids due by March 31, 2021, and a required delivery date of June 30, 2021 to the Crescent Bay Marina. An optional site inspection is available before bid opening, and all submissions must be made through the PA Supplier Portal. The contract will be awarded based on the total sum, with unit pricing expected to include all necessary materials and items.

The procurement opportunity includes provisions for small businesses and diverse enterprises, specifically highlighting the Commonwealth's Small Business Procurement Initiative. To qualify as a Small Business (SB), vendors must be independently owned, not dominant in their field, employ no more than 100 full-time employees, and have average gross revenues not exceeding $38.5 million. Small Diverse Businesses (SDB) must first qualify as an SB and then obtain certification from an approved third-party entity. The contract includes a Reciprocal Limitations Act form that provides preference to Pennsylvania-based manufacturers and suppliers. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per day will be assessed for late deliveries, and payment will be made on a reimbursement basis following delivery and final acceptance of the dock floats and fasteners. While no specific award value is listed, the contract will run from execution of the purchase order through June 30, 2021, with potential for future renewal or similar procurement opportunities.
