The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is requesting bids for athletic mat installation at SCI Phoenix in Collegeville, Montgomery County, under IFB 6100066627, with electronic bids due September 21, 2026. Attendance at a mandatory site visit on September 14 at 9:00 a.m. is required; vendors must contact Christopher Wolanski at cwolanski@pa.gov or 610-409-7890, x1441 by 3:00 p.m. on September 11 to schedule. Any bidder who fails to attend the site visit will be rejected.

The scope comprises delivery and installation of 1,555 square feet of 2-inch Zebra mats (black with red border), 191 linear feet of 6-foot Zebra wall padding, and custom wood blocking buildouts on nine windows for wall padding anchors, per provided floor layout drawings. Pricing must be total and final, inclusive of labor, materials, equipment, tools, insurance, delivery, and waste removal on an F.O.B. destination basis.

The Commonwealth applies the Reciprocal Limitations Act (GSPUR-89) preference program for bids exceeding $10,000. Pennsylvania resident bidders claiming preference must document bona fide establishment in-state; bidders from preference-granting states (including Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Wyoming) are subject to corresponding Pennsylvania preferences. Bidders must disclose state or country of manufacture for each item.

All contractors must execute the Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form (BOP-2201), certifying compliance with Pennsylvania unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, prevailing wage, and applicable labor and workforce safety laws. False certification carries contract termination and three-year bid ineligibility under 62 Pa. C.S. § 531.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an Established Price Contract. The contract term commences upon issuance of a fully executed Purchase Order and continues through expiration or completion, with the Commonwealth retaining the right to extend any single term up to three months. Prior to award, the Department may request references for similar work performed within two years. Only electronic bid responses through the PA Supplier Portal are accepted. All bidders must be registered vendors in the Commonwealth's Vendor Master file.
