PQ List for General Construction Rehab/Repair/Reno Services

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management & Budget has issued a solicitation (2024-PQMA-031) for a Pre-Qualified (PQ) List of contractors specializing in general construction services focused on rehabilitation, repair, and renovation across city-owned facilities in Pennsylvania. This solicitation, released March 1, 2024, invites interested vendors to apply by December 1, 2027, to be included on a master agreement enabling them to bid on future task orders. The contract period extends until March 1, 2028. The scope of work encompasses a broad range of construction activities including grading, excavation, demolition, masonry, paving, fencing, landscaping, and installation of site amenities, along with integrated mechanical and electrical work such as HVAC, plumbing, and lighting. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and construction management to complete projects typically within 30 calendar days of request, adhering to strict quality standards and regulatory compliance. Applicants must submit a comprehensive electronic package including a signed agreement, IRS Form W-9, insurance certification naming the city as additional insured, a valid contractor’s license, and a Statement of Affiliations, all by the specified deadline via email. Selection for the PQ List is not a guarantee of award; subsequent individual contracts will be awarded through a competitive bidding process favoring the lowest responsible bidder. Required contractor responsibilities include maintaining compliance with anti-discrimination laws, prevailing wage standards, environmental and safety regulations, and Pennsylvania-specific statutes such as the Buy American Act for steel products. The contract specifies 24/7 emergency response availability, obligates contractors to secure all necessary permits, and mandates adherence to City CJIS security policies when applicable. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by City officials, with contractors fully responsible for correcting any deficiencies at no cost to the City. Administrative functions, including invoice submission and contract communications, are centralized at the Office of Management & Budget with payment terms set at net 45 days and electronic payment capabilities encouraged. The solicitation operates under a template with conditional clauses allowing some City discretion in areas such as conflict-of-interest waivers and contract amendments, though no formal option periods or overall contract values are disclosed.
