Traffic Signal Maintenance Contract

Schuylkill Township is soliciting sealed proposals for a comprehensive Traffic Signal Maintenance Contract, to be submitted through PennBid by 10:00 AM on December 12, 2025. The contract requires maintenance of traffic signal systems across multiple intersections, with a focus on preventive and responsive maintenance of Siemens and Econolite traffic control equipment in a closed-loop and central control environment. Bidders must have staff with IMSA Traffic Signal Technician Level II certification or higher and demonstrate extensive experience maintaining complex traffic signal infrastructure. The contract evaluation will be based on a scoring system that considers qualifications and experience (40%), annual maintenance price (25%), response maintenance rates (25%), and references (10%). Specific technical requirements include maintaining traffic signal supports, controller assemblies, electrical distribution systems, signal heads, detectors, and advanced traffic signal technologies, with precise maintenance and repair protocols. The initial contract term is two years, with potential extensions of up to two additional one-year periods, and is scheduled to be awarded by the Board of Supervisors at their annual reorganization meeting on January 5, 2026.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with PennDOT regulations and establish proof of competency through Form 408/2016, Change 6, Section 102, with subcontractors required to pre-qualify similarly. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the maintenance contract suggests a significant investment in traffic infrastructure management. The township reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive deficiencies in bid submissions. Interested contractors must provide detailed references from municipalities where they have previously maintained Siemens and Econolite equipment and systems, demonstrating a track record of successful traffic signal management. The contract appears to cover a sophisticated traffic signal network involving multiple intersections and advanced technological systems, requiring high-level technical expertise and operational capabilities.
