Solids Handling Facility

The Mount Pocono Municipal Authority is soliciting bids for the construction of a solids handling facility, which includes site modification, utility line relocation, building installation, grading, and full restoration of disturbed areas. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PennBid platform by 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, 2026, with a pre-bid meeting and site visit scheduled for May 27, 2026, at the Authority’s office in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. Questions must be submitted via PennBid no later than June 4, 2026, and attendance at the pre-bid event is recommended but not mandatory. The contract will be awarded on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, though the Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive irregularities. The procurement is governed by Pennsylvania’s prevailing wage requirements, and work must comply with all applicable state and local laws, codes, and industry standards including ASTM, ACI, AWPA, and others. Subcontractor qualifications, financial responsibility, and performance guarantees are considered alongside pricing in bid evaluations. The scope of work requires full execution per Contract Documents, including furnished materials and equipment delivered to the site ready for installation, with all work subject to inspection and approval by the Engineer. The Contractor is responsible for all testing, certifications, and coordination with governmental agencies at no additional cost. Delivery and storage of materials must adhere to strict preservation standards, including moisture content limits for lumber and AWPA-approved treatment for wood products, with all items properly marked using approved grade and quality stamps. Performance timelines are defined on a calendar day basis, with scheduling to be submitted by the Contractor, and work hours are restricted to minimize disruption, prohibiting heavy equipment noise and deliveries between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. without prior authorization. Special requirements mandate seven days’ advance notice for utility outages, temporary service provision during outages exceeding one hour, and prompt resolution of neighbor complaints within 24 hours. No formal federal acquisition regulation clauses are included; contractual modifications are made through Supplementary Conditions. Pricing data in Section B is incomplete, and contract value cannot be determined, while administrative details such as payment office, COR/COTR, or accounting codes are not provided. Submission of affidavits on non-collusion, legal eligibility, financial interests, and employment verification is required, though no socioeconomic status declarations or entity identifiers are requested or provided in the solicitation.
