Thank you for your interest in the Rachel Carson Homestead restoration project. A zip-file with 5 documents is available for download from this link
Bid_packet_2020-GEDTF_142-RCHA
The following documents are included (word and pdf as possible), using the number prefix:
1 – specs (porch to have 5 columns, conceptual drawing incorrectly shows 8).
2 – Information required for your bid to be considered. Please return ASAP with any additional bid information. This needs to be in a sealed envelope mailed (USPS) to RCHA, PO Box 46, Springdale, PA 15144-0046 and received by 6/30. Bids opened 7/1/22 on site.
3 – Only pages 10-24 are for procurement information (for your suppliers and any subcontractors). Some of these may not be used, but I need to provide you with this entire packet. We can meet and go over the paperwork if you or your office is not familiar with it.
4 – PA Prevailing wage rates. You need to identify skills and determine fringe pay, etc. to total the rate. This list may expire even if rates don’t change. Please check back for an update if you cannot access the PA DOL website for current rates.
You are welcome to visit the Homestead at your convenience. Please contact me via email to info@RachelCarsonHomestead.org or by phone if you want to meet outside the scheduled on-site inspection (Wed. 6/22 at noon).
