The temporary Broad Street Market building
Harrisburg has received one bid for electrical work at the Broad Street Market, but no plumbing bids.
Manheim-based KCS Electric submitted a bid of $84,491 for work on the temporary market structure located across the street from the main market complex, according to the city.
The city now will undertake a formal review process to determine if KCS is qualified to perform the work. If the bid is successful, the city will begin processing a contract, with the entire bonding and contract execution phase expected to take two to four weeks, according to the city.
Last month, Harrisburg issued a request for bids on the public site, PennBid, to complete both electrical and plumbing work on the tent-like temporary building, where it plans to house vendors displaced by the devastating July fire, which closed the brick market building.
Before PennBid, the city had posted the jobs on a private platform, Keystone Purchasing Network, but received no bids for the electrical work and only one bid for the plumbing work, which was deemed to be too high.
This time, through PennBid, the city received no bids for the plumbing phase. Therefore, it will republish that job on PennBid today, with a submission deadline of Jan. 25.
Though the brick building is shut down, the market’s other building—the stone building—remains open for business during market hours, Thursday through Saturday.
