Newtown Township 2026 Mowing, Maintenance and Leaf Collection Contract

Newtown Township, on behalf of eleven municipalities in Delaware and Chester Counties, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed bids for a 2026–2027 De-Icing Salt Contract to supply approximately 11,800 tons of de-icing material to ensure winter road safety across the participating communities. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the PennBid online platform by 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 6, 2026, with all bidding documents available for free download beginning July 18, 2026. Each bid must include a bid security equal to at least 10% of the total net bid amount and will be subject to a mandatory 100% performance bond and 100% payment bond upon award. The contract is structured as a fixed-price arrangement with an estimated term extending through May 31, 2027, and optional extension years through 2030. While no formal line-item pricing or CLIN structure is provided, the solicitation includes estimated base and optional extension pricing for related maintenance and services, suggesting potential for expanded scope beyond de-icing salt. Awards will be made at the discretion of the participating municipal boards, who retain full authority to reject any or all bids without cause. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage laws, obtain all required permits and licenses, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2 million commercial general liability, $1 million auto liability, $5 million umbrella liability, and workers’ compensation as mandated by state law. Subcontracting is limited to no more than 50% of the total contract value without prior written approval, and all work must conform to applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including PennDOT standards. Delivery and performance are required across all eleven participating municipalities, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site, and final payment contingent upon submission of lien waivers from the contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers. No formal evaluation factors, COTR, or payment office details are specified, and the process relies on municipal oversight with no federal acquisition regulation clause structure applied.
