The procurement includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal, requiring contractors to demonstrate good faith efforts to include certified SBE subcontractors.

The scope encompasses disassembly, removal, modification, reinstallation, and testing of turnstile components at various SEPTA stations.

Bidders must demonstrate experience with similar transit facility modification projects and provide references for work completed within the last five years.

The contract term is 365 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with no renewal options. Pricing will be evaluated on a lump sum basis for the base bid, with unit pricing required for specific line items including turnstile modifications and electrical work. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements and provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract amount. Insurance requirements include general liability coverage of $2 million per occurrence and workers' compensation as required by Pennsylvania law. Payment terms follow SEPTA's standard net 30-day schedule upon receipt of proper invoices. Questions are due prior to the pre-bid meeting.
