Traffic Light Maintenance

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, specifically for Armstrong County's District 10-1, is soliciting a contract for traffic light maintenance services at the intersection of SR66 and SR128. The procurement opportunity, posted on April 20, 2017, with proposals due by May 8, 2017, requires a contractor to provide preventive and corrective maintenance for signalized intersections, including two "Signal Ahead" lights. Key service requirements include responding to electrical problems within two hours, conducting quarterly maintenance visits, providing traffic control, and performing electrical maintenance. The contractor must supply all necessary repair parts, with the contract including a $3,500 parts allowance that requires detailed documentation with invoices. The initial contract term is from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods. All bids must be submitted electronically through the emarketplace portal, with no paper bids accepted by the Department.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, nor does it provide details about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. The contract's total value appears to be relatively modest, with the $3,500 parts allowance suggesting a small to moderate-scale maintenance contract. Electronic submission through the emarketplace portal indicates a preference for modern, streamlined procurement processes. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documents, the scope of work suggests that responsiveness, technical capability, and ability to meet rapid response times will likely be key assessment factors. The contract's structure, with potential two-year renewal options, indicates the Department's interest in establishing a reliable, long-term maintenance relationship with a qualified vendor for this critical transportation infrastructure.
