Tri-Axle Dump Truck Services Water System Improvements Project

Project Description: The project includes providing equipment and labor on a “Time” basis for the Tri-Axle Dump Truck Services for the Warminster Municipal Authority (Authority) during the contract period of 365 calendar days. The hourly rates for equipment and labor shall be provided for the categories included in the Form of Proposal. Bids will be compared based on an hourly rate for each item number.
All bids must include all hourly rates to be considered for award by the Authority, at their option, after review of the bid amounts.
Bids must be made on the forms furnished by the Authority and must be accompanied by a certified check, bank draft or bid bond issued by a surety company licensed to conduct business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the amount of $1,000 payable to the Authority.
The successful bidder will be required to furnish a Performance Bond with corporate surety issued by a company authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the prescribed form dated the date of the Contract equal to $5,000 to secure the faithful performance of the Contract.
The bidder’s attention is called to the fact that the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act and the Pennsylvania Public Works Employment Verification Act apply to this Contract if the estimated cost of the project is in excess of $25,000. The successful bidder shall pay no less than the wage rates determined for the project area as set forth in the Contract Documents. The successful bidder must also ensure that employees, subcontractors and applicants for employment are (a) not discriminated against because of their race, color, religion, sex or national origin, or any other basis on which discrimination is prohibited by any applicable federal, state or local laws and, (b) legally authorized to work in the United States.
Bidders are advised that all applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Public Law 91-596, dated December 29, 1970, latest revision) shall be strictly adhered to on this project.
Award of Contract, if a contract be awarded, will be to the lowest responsible bidder, based on a review of the hourly rates, and a comparison of rates between bidders. The Authority reserves the unqualified right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities. The Authority 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 Authority for a period not to exceed sixty (60) 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.
