Schuylkill County Mack Granite Repair

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), District 5-0, located in Allentown, is seeking repair services for a 2017 Mack Granite Tandem Dump Truck (VIN 1M2AX09C7HM035194) stationed in Schuylkill County. The procurement is specifically for comprehensive damage restoration following a rollover incident, requiring repairs that include cab repair/replacement, door replacement, wheel replacement, body component repairs, windshield replacement, and final refinishing. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 25, 2025, at 9:00 AM at 970 East Main Street in Schuylkill Haven, PA, with potential bidders limited to two representatives per company. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a duration of less than one year and a $10,000 parts allowance. Vendors must submit detailed documentation for parts costs and obtain pre-approval from the Mechanic Supervisor/Equipment Manager for any additional repairs. The project covers all labor, parts, miscellaneous costs, pick-up, and delivery for truck 676-8077.

The procurement is exclusively reserved for small businesses certified through the Department of General Services' self-certification process. Contractors must comply with Executive Order 2021-06 and submit a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form (BOP-2201), demonstrating adherence to thirteen state labor and workforce safety laws. The contract includes enhanced minimum wage requirements of at least $15.00 per hour and mandates specific worker protection standards. Bidders must provide proof of insurance, including worker's compensation and public liability coverage, and comply with background check requirements for employees accessing Commonwealth facilities. Potential contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, compliance with labor laws, and competitive pricing. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the parts allowance of $10,000 suggests a modest project scope. The Commonwealth reserves the right to award the contract by line item or in total based on what is most advantageous, with potential for future renewal options subject to annual appropriations.
