2026 Summer Tree Pruning & Takedown

Sealed bids for the Public Works Building Remediation project in Doylestown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, must be submitted electronically through the PennBid portal by 10:00 AM on August 12, 2026, with award notification to follow. The project entails the removal and replacement of the warehouse concrete floor, installation of a new trench drain and PVC conveyance system, and modifications to existing doors. All bidders are required to submit a certified check or bid bond equal to at least ten percent of their bid amount; the successful bidder must furnish a performance bond or certified check for 100 percent of the contract value within twenty days of award, issued by a company licensed to operate in Pennsylvania. Bids must be unconditional and cannot be withdrawn for sixty days after the submission deadline, and the Township reserves the right to waive informalities or reject any or all bids. The work is subject to Pennsylvania’s prevailing wage laws, and liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day apply for delays beyond the completion deadline. Bidders must acknowledge and comply with attachments including a Non-Collusion Affidavit, Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity compliance under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, Workers’ Compensation certification, and Insurance requirements—all of which must be executed and submitted. Insurance policies must name the Township and its engineer as additional insureds on a primary and noncontributory basis with waiver of subrogation, and completed operations coverage must be maintained for two years after final payment. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder based on a trade-off evaluation that considers price alongside qualitative factors such as financial responsibility, integrity, experience, efficiency, and ability to perform the work as specified. All work must be performed at the Township’s facilities in Doylestown, with inspections and final acceptance occurring on-site by designated Township representatives. Invoicing for progress payments is restricted to one submission per month via PennBid, and all materials must comply with PennDOT 408 specifications for surface preparation, paving, and coating applications. The project is not subject to federal acquisition regulations with standard clause numbering, and no federal entity identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are required, though full compliance with state and local mandates is mandatory. The Township Manager, Stephanie J. Mason, and Director of Operations, Dave Tomko, serve as the primary administrative and contracting points of contact.
