The County of Bucks, Pennsylvania, is soliciting bids for the removal of existing doors and the purchase, delivery, and installation of new fire-rated double interior doors at the Neshaminy Manor Nursing Facility in Warrington, PA.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Upon award, the contractor is required to provide a 100% performance bond, a 100% labor and materials payment bond, and a 10% maintenance bond. Payments will be based on a schedule of values and are subject to a 10% retainage. The procurement process is managed via the PennBid website, with a final bid submission deadline of November 16, 2026. The agreement is executed using the 2019 Edition of the AIA Document A132. Final acceptance of the work is contingent upon inspections by a Construction Manager and an Architect/Engineer to ensure all contract documents and safety regulations have been fully satisfied.
