Traffic Light Maintenance

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), specifically District 10-1 in Armstrong County, is seeking a contractor for traffic light maintenance services at the intersection of SR 66 and SR 128. The procurement involves preventive and corrective maintenance of two signalized intersections, including two "Signal Ahead" lights, with specific performance requirements. The contractor must respond to electrical problems within two hours, conduct quarterly maintenance visits, provide necessary traffic control, and supply all repair parts to maintain operational signal systems. The contract term is initially one year, running from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, with potential for two optional one-year renewals. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the emarketplace portal, with a strict submission deadline of June 9, 2020. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation of parts and services, with vendors expected to demonstrate technical capability to manage traffic signal maintenance efficiently and promptly.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The contract includes a $3,500 parts allowance, with vendors required to submit detailed invoicing for part replacements. The Purchase Order will feature a separate line item for this parts allowance. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the contract suggests a need for experienced traffic signal maintenance providers with demonstrated capabilities in electrical repair, traffic control management, and rapid response protocols. The procurement appears targeted at professional maintenance contractors with specific expertise in traffic signal systems and the ability to work within PennDOT's operational framework. The total contract value, including the parts allowance and potential two-year extension, could represent a moderate-sized municipal maintenance contract in the range of $20,000 to $50,000 depending on actual service and parts requirements.
