Hazelwood Ave. Guide Rail & Erosion Repair Project

Caln Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed electronic bids for the Hazelwood Ave. Guide Rail & Erosion Repair Project, with submissions due by 10:00 A.M. local time on July 2, 2026, through the PennBid™ portal. The project entails construction of a storm sewer system including inlet, endwall, and associated piping, installation of weathered steel guide rail, and slope stabilization with erosion control measures. All bid documentation is available at no cost on PennBid™, though bidders must pay a portal access fee. Each bid must include a bid bond or certified check equal to at least 10% of the bid amount, and no bid may be withdrawn for the period specified in the bid form. The successful bidder will be required to provide Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100% of the contract value, along with a Maintenance Bond of 15% of the contract amount, using forms specified in the contract documents, along with a waiver of lien. The work is subject to the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, mandating compliance with state wage rates for all laborers. The contracting authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor irregularities, and select the bid deemed most favorable based on a trade-off evaluation that may consider factors beyond price alone. The place of performance is specifically Hazelwood Avenue in Caln Township, with all inspection and acceptance occurring at the site upon completion. No formal contract value, line item pricing, or detailed period of performance is provided, and there are no set-asides or socioeconomic requirements. Technical specifications, including channelizing device spacing and taper lengths consistent with MUTCD standards, are referenced in the plan sheets, which include a title sheet, general notes, existing features and demolition plan, grading and utility plan, erosion and sediment control plan, irrigation plan, planting plan, horizontal control plan, and details. The project is governed by standard public procurement practices, with no federal acquisition regulation clauses explicitly cited but implied through bonding, lien waiver, and prevailing wage mandates. All submissions must be made electronically via PennBid™, with no physical or paper submissions permitted.
