🚨 Central Bucks School District Residents, Taxpayers, and Local Business Owners 🚨
The Central Bucks School Board is currently considering the adoption of a Responsible Contractor Policy (RCP) that could have a significant impact on who is allowed to bid on future school construction projects.
While the policy may sound beneficial on the surface, many qualified local contractors—including family-owned businesses that have successfully completed public projects throughout our community—could be excluded from bidding despite proven records of quality work, safety, and performance.
As a local business that lives, works, pays taxes, and employs people within this community, we believe residents deserve to understand the potential impacts before any decision is made.
Some important questions to consider:
• Will this reduce competition on publicly funded projects?
• Will fewer bidders lead to higher construction costs?
• How many local contractors and employees could be affected?
• What problem is this policy solving that isn’t already addressed through existing bidding, licensing, and qualification requirements?
Please Note:
-73% of all current bidders are non union and will be disqualified with this RCP in place
-Statistics also show that a fair amount of projects only receive bids from non union contractors
Who will fill that void then?
Can that void be filled ?
Is this fair to our local businesses and graduates of Central Bucks School District?
This is not just a contractor issue—it is a taxpayer issue. Every dollar spent on construction projects comes from the community, and maintaining open, competitive bidding has long been a cornerstone of obtaining the best value for taxpayers.
The next policy meeting is scheduled for August 13th @ 6pm at the Central Bucks School District Office
16 Welden Dr. Doylestown, Pa 18901
We encourage any resident, taxpayer, employee, business owner, or community member who wishes to learn more or share their thoughts to attend and participate in public comment.
Regardless of your position on this issue, community involvement and open discussion are important before decisions are made that could impact local businesses, competition, and taxpayer-funded projects for years to come.
