Stoverstown Road RR Crossing Removal

Sealed bids for the removal of the railroad crossing at Stoverstown Road in York County, Pennsylvania, are being solicited by the York County Rail Trail Authority with proposals due electronically via the PennBid platform by 10:00 AM on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The project involves full removal of existing railroad rails and ties within a 44-foot cartway, followed by reconstruction of the roadway using PennDOT No. 2A stone base, geotextile fabric, and Superpave asphalt layers for both base and wearing courses, culminating in finish grading and seeding. All work must comply with PennDOT Publication 408, including Sections 409, 460, and 461, as well as MUTCD standards for traffic control, and must be completed no later than August 8, 2026, with liquidated damages of $870 per calendar day for delays. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 10% of their maximum bid amount, either through a certified check or an acceptable surety, along with required forms including an anti-collusion affidavit, public works employment verification, and certifications for material compliance such as CS-4171 and TR-465. The project is exempt from the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, and contractors must hold a minimum of $1,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance. Material shipments must be accompanied by bill of lading, mill test reports, and proper labeling with lot and heat numbers to ensure traceability in accordance with PennDOT Bulletin and Buy America requirements. The award will be based primarily on the lowest aggregate total price, with hauling distance factoring into the evaluation of FOB Source bids. All proposals must be submitted exclusively through PennBid, and the Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids. The contract requires pre-bid coordination with municipal representatives, resident notification, and a one-year defect liability period following substantial completion.
