Tioga County Step Pool Rocks

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Engineering District 3-7 located in Tioga County, is soliciting electronic bids for the procurement and delivery of grade and footer rocks for a stream rock step pool project on SR 2027 Canoe Camp Creek Road in Mansfield, PA 16933. The procurement requires twenty-one (21) grade rocks measuring 12" x 24" x 12" and forty-two (42) footer rocks measuring 24" x 36" x 24", with all costs inclusive of delivery to the jobsite on an FOB Destination basis and no additional surcharges permitted. Vendors must deliver materials within five business days of receiving a fully executed Purchase Order, with an estimated delivery date after April 15, 2026. Bidders must submit firm pricing through the PA Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) using the designated solicitation number, with all bids due by March 4, 2026; only electronic bids will be accepted and bidders must be registered vendors in the Commonwealth system. The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the Commonwealth reserves the right to award by line item or reject any or all bids. All bidders must submit certification of compliance with Pennsylvania labor and workforce safety laws via the Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form (BOP-2201), and pricing must be submitted on the provided Cost Sheet with unit prices that are all-inclusive of delivery costs.

This procurement includes reciprocal limitations act requirements under GSPUR-89, which mandate that bidders disclose the state or country of manufacture for all supplied items and their residency status to determine eligibility for in-state preferences, with Pennsylvania offering preference to in-state suppliers and manufacturers. Bidders must complete the GSPUR-89 form disclosing manufacturer and state of origin information, and failure to provide required information by the specified deadline results in automatic bid rejection. The contract represents an Established Price Contract with the Commonwealth exempting itself from federal excise taxes and state sales taxes, and payment will be made via Automated Clearing House (ACH) within thirty days of receipt of a proper invoice. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Worker's Compensation and Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance with minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents, though the solicitation appears to be below the $10,000 threshold for certain reciprocal limitations act preferences. Questions may be directed to the purchaser, Jeanne Cole, at jeacole@pa.gov or 570-724-4142, and inquiries must be submitted in writing with responses posted as addenda on eMarketplace.
