Deer Run Road Improvements Project

Sealed proposals for the Deer Run Road Improvements Project must be submitted electronically via the PennBid™ platform by 11:00 a.m. on Monday, June 8, 2026, for work that includes demolishing the existing three-way intersection at Deer Run Road and Long Lane (SR 1024), milling and overlaying approximately 90 linear feet of existing roadway, and installing full-depth pavement from that point to the intersection with Long Lane. All bidders must comply with the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act and adhere to the detailed specifications and general conditions outlined in the bid package, with only questions submitted through PennBid™ being considered and all addenda distributed via the website. Bids must include a bid security of ten percent of the bid amount in the form of a cashier’s check, certified check, or bid bond payable to Maxatawny Township, along with a completed bid form, non-collusion affidavit, certification statement, and contractor’s qualification statement. The Township may hold bids for up to 60 days after opening to review qualifications, secure funding, or obtain approvals, with award expected on June 8, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the township building in Kutztown, PA. The successful bidder must provide a performance bond equal to 100% of the contract amount within ten calendar days of notice of acceptance. The contract is awarded on a lowest price technically acceptably basis, with bid comparisons adjusted for time of substantial completion, liquidated damages of $600 per day for delays, and alternate proposals. The estimated contract value ranges from $392,082.33 to $899,047.50 depending on alternate options. Work must conform to industry standards including ACI, ASTM, PennDOT Pub 408 and 72, and WCLIB Standard No. 17, with inspections occurring at both the source and site, and final acceptance determined at the project location. Contractors are required to submit audited financial statements, OSHA logs, safety citations, workers’ compensation EMR data, and resumes of key personnel, with all materials stored and delivered in accordance with manufacturer specifications and protected from environmental damage. No federal acquisition regulations or clauses are incorporated, and no formal contracting officer or technical representative is designated; however, payment applications require supporting documentation including schedules of values and lien waivers, with no electronic invoicing system specified.
