PHA Snow Removal Services

The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive snow and ice removal services across various locations throughout the City of Philadelphia. The contract, solicited under P-005514, is structured as a services agreement with a two-year base period and three optional one-year extension periods, allowing for potential five-year performance duration. Services must be delivered at designated PHA properties and may be expanded to additional locations during the term. Contractors are required to supply all personnel, equipment, materials, transportation, and management to ensure timely and effective snow and ice removal, adhering to standards of good workmanship and regulatory compliance as outlined in HUD-5370-C. Proposals must demonstrate a thorough understanding of requirements, a sound technical approach, proven technical capabilities including equipment and staffing, and a commitment to participation by certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE) as well as Section 3 participants. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off process, with technical factors accounting for 80% of the score and cost/price making up the remaining 20%. Award will not go to the lowest bidder unless their proposal offers demonstrable best value. All contractors must provide electronic fund transfer (EFT) details and comply with federal and PHA requirements regarding organizational conflict of interest, disbarment status, and affirmative action reporting. Failure to meet MBE/WBE participation goals requires submission of documented best efforts. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by the deadline of August 26, 2026, and must be in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF format. Payment will be issued via EFT, and acceptance of work occurs at the PHA location following a 30-day review period, during which any non-conforming work will be subject to correction or rejection. Contractors must also submit signed certifications regarding size status, socioeconomic affiliation, and absence of conflicts or contingent fees, and must flow down the OCI clause to any subs. No specific contract value or pricing details are available in the public solicitation materials.
