2026 Road Program

Sealed bids for the East Brandywine Township 2026 Road Program must be submitted electronically via the PennBid platform by 10:00 a.m. local time on June 25, 2026, with all solicitation documents accessible at no cost except to the winning bidder at www.PennBid.net. The project encompasses road improvements across the township including base repair, installation of asphalt scratch coat and paving fabric, wearing surface and seal coat applications, replacement of rolled curb, and miscellaneous preparation and finishing work. Bids are solicited on a unit price basis under a single prime contract, and a pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 9, 2026, at the Township Municipal Building. All bidders must furnish bid security as outlined in the Instructions to Bidders and comply with Pennsylvania’s Public Works Employment Verification Act (Act 127 of 2012), ensuring payment of prevailing wage rates and adherence to equal opportunity and non-discrimination requirements regarding race, age, color, religion, sex, national origin, and handicap. Bidders must submit a comprehensive set of attachments including a bid bond, noncollusion affidavit, bidder qualification statement, public works verification form, OSHA Form 300A for the prior five years, a list of OSHA and state safety citations, audited balance sheets for the last three years, and details of any failed contracts or litigation. Evaluation of bids follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model, where technical acceptability is determined by compliance with specified requirements and bidder responsibility, assessed through qualifications, experience, and financial capability. Responsiveness and responsibility are evaluated sequentially before award, which is awarded solely based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The contract explicitly reserves the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. Performance is to occur at 1214 Horseshoe Pike, Downingtown, PA 19335, with work commencing no later than 30 days after contract effectiveness. The scope includes temporary stormwater controls, barricades, and enclosures that must be maintained throughout construction and removed upon substantial completion. Payment procedures involve electronic applications for payment in PDF format, retainage provisions, and final payment upon acceptance at the site. Unit price line items are listed for materials and services including paving fabric, superpave asphalt mixtures, milling, and traffic control, with optional add-ons available for additional quantities.
