MCTA Transit Facility - Additions and Renovations

The Monroe County Transit Authority (MCTA) is soliciting proposals for the expansion and renovation of its transit facility located at 134 MCTA Drive, Swiftwater, PA. The project encompasses the renovation of an existing maintenance building with six repair bays, construction of a pre-engineered bus storage addition, and upgrades to the fuel island along with other site improvements to support a diverse fleet, including fixed-route buses, paratransit, microtransit, and non-revenue vehicles. The work aims to enhance operational capacity and safety, adhering to all applicable federal, state, and local codes, standards, and environmental regulations. The project is estimated to range between five and fifteen million dollars, with detailed technical specifications, drawings, and bid documents available at no cost through the PennBid portal. Bids are due electronically by December 3, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with an on-site pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 30, 2025, at 9:00 am, encouraging in-person attendance with a virtual option. The solicitation emphasizes strict compliance with federal and state certifications, including non-collusion affidavits, Buy America, debarment and suspension certifications, DBE participation, ADA, and Title VI requirements, all of which must be submitted with the bid via designated attachments. The bid process requires a comprehensive breakdown of costs organized by construction divisions and sections within 48 hours of bid opening, along with detailed bidder qualification forms certifying organizational experience, licensing, insurance, and references. The evaluation appears to be primarily responsiveness-based, focusing on the completeness and correctness of submitted certifications and qualifications, with no explicit criteria or weighting schemes detailed. Contract administration will involve adherence to schedule, warranty, and performance requirements, with the contractor responsible for timely payments to subcontractors, maintaining records, and complying with all legal and regulatory obligations. Overall, the project aims to modernize MCTA’s facilities to support increased operational demands while ensuring compliance with all applicable federal and state procurement and safety standards.
