WH New Pole Storage Building SGL#226

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is soliciting bids for the construction of a new Pole Storage Building on State Game Lands #226, located in Cumberland County and Milroy CDP. The project involves building a 40' x 80' pole building with specific requirements including framing, metal siding and roof panels, a concrete floor, comprehensive electrical infrastructure, and installation of garage and man doors. Bidders are encouraged to visit the site prior to submitting proposals, with bids scheduled to be opened and read on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, at 2:00 PM. The procurement requires vendors to have a vendor number assigned by the Commonwealth to receive payment, and all bid amounts must be specified in dollars and cents without fractions. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, which mandate specific hourly base pay and fringe benefit rates for various job classifications. The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any and all bids, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

The contract documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. Prevailing wage documentation suggests the agency encourages participation from small, minority, and women-owned businesses, though no mandatory participation goals are outlined. The contract term is anticipated to commence on May 7, 2018, and terminate on June 30, 2018, with potential extensions due to weather or material delivery delays. Contractors will be required to provide contract bonds, maintain appropriate insurance coverage, and comply with Pennsylvania labor laws. The contract includes provisions for one-year warranty on materials and workmanship, with the contractor responsible for remedying any defects after final project acceptance. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the project involves constructing a comprehensive pole storage building with electrical and infrastructural components. The Commonwealth will be exempt from excise and sales taxes, though the contractor remains liable for sales and use taxes on materials used to fulfill the contract.
