Hertzog Avenue Reconstruction Project

The Cherry Street Alley Paving Project is a municipal construction initiative by the Borough of Fountain Hill in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, seeking bids for approximately 1,450 square yards of alley reconstruction. The project includes milling and removing existing pavement and subbase, grading the roadway, installing new stone subbase, base course, and wearing course, along with erosion and sediment control facilities and miscellaneous improvements. All bids must be submitted electronically through the PennBid platform by 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, with public opening of proposals scheduled for 3:00 p.m. the same day. Final questions must be submitted by June 3, 2026, and all bid documents are available at no cost via the PennBid portal. Each bid must include a bid security equal to 10% of the total base bid, issued in the form of a bid bond, certified check, or bank cashier’s check, and bids remain valid for 60 calendar days from the opening date with no right of withdrawal during that period. Contractors are required to comply with the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, including passing those obligations to all subcontractors, and must adhere to the Public Works Employment Verification Act and Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity regulations. The Borough retains the right to waive minor bid irregularities and select the bid deemed most advantageous. The contract is governed by PennDOT Publication 408 and 72M, EJCDC C-700 (2013), and local borough specifications, with performance expected to begin in July and substantial completion achieved within 75 calendar days and full completion within 105 days after the contract time commences. Bidders must submit certifications related to minority, women, and Section 3 business participation, as well as non-collusion affidavits, non-segregated facilities compliance, and Davis-Bacon certified payroll forms. Evaluation is based on bid price and non-price factors including bidder qualifications, subcontractor experience, financial stability, and performance assurances, with award going to the lowest responsible bidder whose proposal is in the best interest of the borough. No specific contract value, funding codes, or detailed payment office information is provided, and no FAR clauses or MIL-STD packaging standards are referenced, though compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards is implied. All submissions must be made exclusively through PennBid, with no alternative formats allowed.
