Rigidply Rafters Pavilion Kit

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, is seeking to procure a Rigidply Rafters 28'x36' Standard Rectangular Shelter Package for Lackawanna State Park located in North Abington Township. The procurement specifically requires a pavilion kit comprising treated glu-lam columns, glu-lam DTP beams, 2"x6" tongue and groove decking, roofing materials, and associated hardware. The contract will commence upon receipt of the purchase order and Notice to Proceed, with a delivery deadline of August 1, 2018. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the PA Supplier Portal, with the bid opening and subsequent posting on the Commonwealth's emarketplace website occurring within three business days of the closing. The contract will be awarded based on the total lump sum bid, with payment terms structured as a lump sum upon complete delivery of materials, and invoices must include the purchase order number and SAP vendor number.

The procurement opportunity appears to have potential set-aside provisions related to the Small Business Procurement Initiative, which aims to increase contracting opportunities for small businesses across state agencies. The Reciprocal Limitations Act Form indicates a preference for bidders offering supplies produced, manufactured, mined, or grown in Pennsylvania, with potential exclusions for bidders from states that prohibit out-of-state supply purchases. Bidders are required to provide manufacturer information and state of origin for each item bid, with resident Pennsylvania bidders able to claim in-state preferences. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement is for a standard pavilion kit with specific material requirements. The contract includes provisions for potential contract extensions, with the initial term likely being one year and options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods, subject to performance and mutual agreement.
