Throop 2026 Paving Project

Throop Borough in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, is soliciting sealed bids for the Throop 2026 Paving Project, which encompasses asphalt milling, base repairs, wearing course overlay, curb installation, and traffic control measures. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PennBid platform by 11:00 AM local time on May 15, 2026, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. The project will be awarded as a single prime contract on a unit price basis, with all bidders required to provide bid security and, if selected, a 100% Performance Bond. Compliance with Pennsylvania prevailing wage rates is mandatory, and all contractors must adhere to strict non-discrimination policies covering race, religion, color, handicap, national origin, age, and sex, consistent with Throop Borough’s status as an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. The work must be performed at the specified site on Sanderson Street in Throop, with performance beginning no earlier than 30 days after the contract’s effective date or issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The contract requires full compliance with ASTM standards for asphalt and concrete materials, along with all applicable state and local regulations. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site, with the contractor responsible for arranging and paying for testing and inspections unless otherwise specified, and the Owner or Engineer retains the right to reject non-conforming work. Award will follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, selecting only responsive and responsible bidders with the lowest bid amount, with no weighting or trade-off analysis between cost and technical merit. Special requirements include mandatory placement of a resident superintendent on-site for the duration of the project, professional liability insurance coverage extending two years beyond substantial completion, submission of all subcontractors for Owner approval, and immediate cessation of work upon discovery of hazardous conditions pending written authorization to resume. The contractor must also implement a sexual harassment prevention policy and actively seek minority-owned subcontractors. All materials and work must be approved prior to incorporation, and final payment is contingent upon full compliance with contract documents, inspection results, and formal acceptance. No specific accounting codes, payment office details, or electronic invoicing systems (e.g., WAWF) are outlined, and no UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic certifications are completed in the submission package.
