Susquehanna County Recreation Center Site Work

Susquehanna County is soliciting qualified general contractors for site work on a new recreation center in New Milford, Pennsylvania, with all bids required to be submitted electronically through the PennBid portal no later than 12:00 p.m. on June 15, 2026. The scope of work includes comprehensive site preparation such as clearing, earthwork, construction of retaining walls, installation of a gravel parking lot and access roads, preparation of the building pad, and utility infrastructure including stormwater piping, catch basins, sewer lines, and water lines, followed by seeding. An optional prebid meeting and site walkthrough is scheduled for June 5, 2026, and bidders may submit questions through PennBid until June 11, 2026, with responses publicly posted on the portal. Digital project documents are exclusively available via PennBid; paper sets are not provided. The contract is structured under AIA A101-2017 and A201-2017 forms, establishing a Firm Fixed Price basis, with two alternates available: one to replace gravel areas with paved surfaces and install lighting conduit, and another to construct a sediment basin prior to site disturbance. Both alternates include cost adjustments and must be priced separately. The contractor must submit key personnel details within 14 days of commencement, ensure all workers pass drug testing and background screening, and provide performance and payment bonds along with liability insurance that includes a mold endorsement. Materials must be delivered in original sealed containers with full labeling, stored in weathertight, ventilated conditions to prevent damage, and comply with ASTM and AASHTO standards for compaction, geotextiles, and seed quality. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with compliance verified against ACI, ASTM, and AASHTO standards. The award decision is discretionary, not bound to lowest price, and considers experience, past performance, financial stability, insurance adequacy, and full compliance, with no specified evaluation weighting. No federal accounting codes, WAWF invoicing, or UEI/CAGE requirements are present, and the project operates under non-federal procurement rules, utilizing AIA forms exclusively. All submittals must be in PDF format on PennBid, and no physical bids or alternative media are accepted.
