2025 Roadway Improvement Program

Project Description: Sealed electronic bids will be received for the 2025 Roadway Improvement Program by New Hope Borough, hereinafter generally referred to as the Borough, on April 7, 2025 until 10:00 AM (Prevailing Time), via the PennBid Electronic Bid Management System and opened shortly thereafter. All documents and solicitation details will be available at https://pennbid.bonfirehub.com. Bidders must register (a free process), then click on the “Portal”, then “Open Public Opportunities” tabs.
The Base Contract will generally include the full-width mill and overlay of portions of two Borough roadways (3,570 SY/325 TON). The Base Contract will also include 85 SY of pavement repair, 107 TON leveling/scratch course and the replacement of all pavement markings.
Alternate/Add-On No. 1 will generally include 50 SY of pavement repair on Old Mill Road.
The project is subject to the terms of the Public Works Employment Verification Act (Act 127 of 2012). Completed and signed “Public Works Employment Verification Form” is required as a precondition to the award of the Contract and is to be submitted as part of the submission of the bid.
This project is subject to the terms and conditions of the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, as determined by the Secretary of Labor and Industry and, therefore, must be bid as such.
All work and materials shall be in accordance with PennDOT Standards and Specifications.
Proposals must be accompanied by electronic copy of a certified check or bid bond in the amount of 10% of the total bid amount for the work detailed in Attachment 1.
Proposals must also be accompanied by a completed Bid Form, Bidder’s Qualification Statement, executed Anti-Collusion Affidavit and Public Works Verification Form as set forth in the Contract Documents. Failure to submit these three items with the bid proposal may result in disqualification of the bid.
Award of Contract: if a contract is awarded, it will be to the lowest responsible bidder, as described in the Instructions to Bidders Section of the Contract Documents, but the Borough reserves the unqualified right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities.
The Borough also reserves the right to delete any “item” or portion of an “item” contained in the Contract at its discretion, once bids are received.
Prior to awarding the Contract, bids may be held by the Borough for a period not to exceed thirty-five (35) days from the date of the bid opening for the purpose of reviewing the bids and investigating the qualifications of bidders. During this period, no bid may be withdrawn.
