Montgomery County Dept. of A&I Roads and Bridges Removal of Bridge #145

The project involves the demolition of Bridge #145, a three-span steel I-beam structure approximately 70 feet long and 13 feet wide, located over Skippack Creek on Roberts Road in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The work requires full removal of the bridge, site restoration, and compliance with all environmental, safety, and regulatory standards, including adherence to Pennsylvania’s Prevailing Wage Act and compliance with PA DEP General Permit 11 and PASPGP-7 guidance. The contractor must secure all necessary permits, implement erosion and sediment control measures, and ensure proper handling of environmentally degradable materials such as compost filter socks, which must be replaced every six to twelve months based on material type. All work must be performed at the project site and completed to a standard that ensures cleanliness, structural integrity, and functional restoration of surrounding areas. The contract follows Montgomery County’s internal format using Articles rather than federal FAR clauses, and while no formal federal acquisition structures are applied, the procurement adheres to local legal and administrative procedures. Bidders must submit a complete proposal through the Montgomery County Procurement Portal by the deadline of August 6, 2026, and are required to provide extensive certifications, including proof of licensing, insurance, bonding, and compliance with labor and safety regulations. All craft laborers must hold OSHA 10-hour training, and at least one on-site representative must have OSHA 30-hour certification. The contractor must file a Waiver of Liens with the Montgomery County Prothonotary one day before work begins and maintain public liability, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance naming the County as additional insured. Subcontractors are bound by the prime contract’s terms but have no direct relationship with the County, which retains full responsibility for their compliance. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, favoring the lowest qualified bidder who meets all technical and regulatory requirements, though the County may consider its best interest in limited circumstances. No contract value is stated, and pricing is submitted separately without standardized CLINs. All documentation must be submitted electronically as individual files, and failure to comply with any certification, deadline, or procedural requirement will disqualify the bid. The project schedule requires work to commence within 14 days of Notice to Proceed, with a detailed timeline submitted within one week and updated biweekly.
