About this opportunity
The City of Scranton, located in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, is seeking sealed bids for the West Side Gateway Streetscape project, a comprehensive urban infrastructure improvement initiative along North Main Avenue. The procurement involves a detailed streetscape renovation spanning approximately 500 linear feet from south of West Gibson Street to the North Scranton Expressway southbound ramps. Bidders must be prequalified by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as a prime contractor and will be required to complete multiple construction and landscaping elements including clearing and grubbing, asphalt mixture installation, concrete sidewalks, curbing, drainage infrastructure, street lighting, signage, pavement markings, and landscaping. The project requires a substantial completion timeline of 260 calendar days, with a total contract period of 280 days. Bids will be received online through the City's e-Procurement Portal until 10:00 am on Thursday, October 9, 2025, with all communications and technical questions to be submitted via the portal's Q&A feature by October 3, 2025. Bidders must have a minimum of 5 years of experience under their current business name and provide comprehensive insurance coverage.
The contract appears to be funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal assistance, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Bidders will be required to comply with federal Davis-Bacon wage rates, Pennsylvania steel procurement regulations, and various state and local non-discrimination and safety guidelines. While a specific total project budget is not disclosed, the bid form includes over 40 line items with specific quantities and units of measure, suggesting a significant municipal investment. The project will require a performance and payment bond equal to the total contract price, and progress payments will be structured with 90% of completed work paid during the project and retainage held until final completion. Contractors must also comply with Buy USA provisions and provide detailed pricing for various construction and landscaping activities. Integration will be required with existing utility infrastructure, and the project includes provisions for coordinating with utility companies and maintaining traffic flow during construction.
