Sealed bids are being solicited for the construction of a trailhead parking lot and pedestrian bridge at the Hanover Trolley Trail - Route 116 Trailhead in York County, Pennsylvania, with proposals due by 10:00 AM on Friday, May 29, 2026, submitted exclusively through the PennBid electronic platform. The project is divided into two contracts: Contract No. 1 for General Construction and Contract No. 2 for Electrical Construction, with each bidder required to submit a bid bond of 10% of the maximum bid amount in the form of a certified check or acceptable surety payable to the York County Rail Trail Authority.
