About this opportunity
The City of Scranton, located in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed bids for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded Sidewalk Improvements project through its e-Procurement Portal. The procurement seeks comprehensive sidewalk and intersection improvements at multiple locations including Washburn Street, Edwards Court, 10th Street, Jackson Street, and Lincoln Avenue. Key project deliverables include excavation, asphalt mixture installation, subbase placement, concrete curb and sidewalk construction, ADA-compliant curb ramp installation, traffic maintenance, utility pole shoring, and erosion control measures. Bidders must have a minimum of 5 years of experience under their current business name, possess valid contractor's licensing, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage. The bid submission deadline is March 4, 2025, at 10:00 am, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for February 28, 2025. All technical questions and clarification requests must be submitted via the portal's Q&A function by 4:30 pm on February 28, 2025. Evaluation criteria will consider factors beyond lowest cost, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all bids and negotiate with selected respondents.
The project is subject to Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage requirements and funded through federal CDBG resources, which may trigger specific set-aside or disadvantaged enterprise considerations. Bidders must submit a 10% Bid Bond and provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds upon contract award. Contractors will be required to complete various certifications, including affirmative action documentation, non-collusion affidavits, and a Federal Certification Regarding Lobbying. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project will require strict documentation and compliance with federal grant-funded municipal infrastructure project regulations. Bidders must register on the city's e-Procurement Portal to receive addenda notifications and submit proposals, with a video of the bid opening to be made publicly available on YouTube. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the sidewalk improvements and the involvement of federal CDBG funding suggests a substantial investment in municipal infrastructure enhancement.
