Bethel Township's Municipal Storage Building Project

Bethel Township is soliciting sealed bids for the construction of a 3,600 square foot municipal storage building garage located at 3015 S. Pine Grove Street, Fredericksburg, PA 17026. Bids must be submitted electronically via PennBID and are due by 12:00 noon on August 13, 2026, with public opening at 4:00 p.m. and read aloud at 7:00 p.m. during the monthly Board of Supervisors meeting. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 22, 2026, at the same location. Each bid must include a bid security equal to 10% of the bid amount and must remain irrevocable for 60 days after the bid opening. The successful bidder will be required to provide both a Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each for 100% of the contract value, issued by a qualified corporate surety, and submit them within 20 days of award. The project is subject to Pennsylvania’s Prevailing Wage Act, requiring payment of officially determined wage and benefit rates to all laborers and mechanics. Bidders must submit a detailed construction schedule, which will be evaluated alongside pricing, contractor qualifications, and past performance. The evaluation process is not based on lowest price technically acceptable, allowing for a trade-off award based on overall value. The work is expected to be completed before the end of 2026. The contract requires strict compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local codes including OSHA, and the contractor must maintain site cleanliness, protect utilities, and repair any damage caused during construction. Subcontracting more than 50% of the contract value requires prior written approval. Contractors must certify compliance with E-Verify for all project workers, affirm adherence to equal employment opportunity regulations, and attest to non-collusion in bidding. Financial filings under the Workmen’s Compensation Act are also required. The Township retains the right to reject any or all bids for any reason deemed in its best interest. All contract documents, including specifications, drawings, and addenda, are binding, and substitutions for materials must demonstrate equal performance. No contract value is specified in the solicitation, as pricing details are left to the bidder’s submission, and no federal accounting codes, payment office details, or electronic invoicing systems are referenced. The contract is administered locally by Bethel Township with no appointed federal Contract
