PQ List for Plumbing Rehab/Repair/Reno (CD)

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management & Budget is soliciting applications to establish a Pre-Qualified Master Agreement (PQMA) list of contractors for Plumbing Rehabilitation, Repair, and Renovation services. The solicitation (2024-PQMA-115) was issued in April 2024, with a deadline for submissions on December 31, 2027, and a contract term extending through April 30, 2028. Interested vendors must submit their complete application packets electronically via email to contracts@pittsburghpa.gov; submissions via the OpenGov Procurement portal are not accepted. Placement on this pre-qualified vendor list is a prerequisite to bidding on specific plumbing-related projects issued by the City, but being on the PQ list does not guarantee contract awards. Awards will be made to the lowest responsible bidder based on the City’s evaluation of responsibility and compliance, with flexibility to award on an item-by-item or aggregate basis. The solicitation includes comprehensive terms addressing bid submission, contract execution, compliance with federal funding and regulatory requirements, insurance, prevailing wage, anti-discrimination, labor standards, and bonding. The contract is structured as a master agreement resembling an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) model, allowing task orders to be issued against this PQMA over the contract period. Work is to be performed within Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and includes the requirement that services meet high-quality standards, with inspection and acceptance governed by City authorities who retain the right to reject deficient work. Contractors must begin work upon receipt of the City’s notice and typically complete tasks within 30 calendar days. The contract mandates compliance with relevant laws, including HUD Section 3 requirements, prevailing wage laws, anti-sweatshop provisions, and equal employment mandates. Vendors must provide detailed representations and certifications, including a valid SAM.gov Unique Entity ID and, if applicable, minority, women, or veteran business ownership certifications tied to subcontracting participation goals. Contract administration is centralized through the City’s Office of Management & Budget, with invoice submission directly to the Director and strict documentation requirements. While the solicitation lacks standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause formatting and detailed pricing schedules, it incorporates custom contractual provisions addressing severability, amendment, and independent contractor status, ensuring clear terms for both parties. Packaging and marking requirements are not specified, and the City enforces compliance through possible contract termination or suspension for violations of federal or local regulations.
