PQ List for Plumbing Rehab/Repair/Reno

The City of Pittsburgh’s Office of Management & Budget is soliciting bids to establish a pre-qualified list of contractors for plumbing rehabilitation, repair, and renovation services, under solicitation number 2024-PQMA-114. The contract term begins upon execution and extends through April 30, 2028. Bidders must submit their complete application packets electronically by email to contracts@pittsburghpa.gov no later than December 31, 2027, 5:00 PM. Submissions via the OpenGov Procurement portal or other channels are not accepted. The solicitation emphasizes that inclusion on the pre-qualified list does not guarantee contract awards; awards will be made to the lowest responsible bidder following individual project solicitations. The contract type is a Pre-Qualified Master Agreement, functioning similarly to an indefinite delivery contract, allowing multiple individual task orders under this umbrella. The scope involves providing comprehensive plumbing services, including rehabilitation, repair, and renovation for various City-owned facilities across Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Contractors must supply all labor, materials, tools, and management necessary to complete projects without disrupting ongoing operations. Projects incorporate diverse construction activities including excavation, demolition, masonry, HVAC, electrical work, and site improvements, with typical project sizes capped at approximately $250,000. Deliverables include adherence to project specifications, submission of as-built drawings within 15 days post-completion, and compliance with all applicable codes and contract provisions. The contract incorporates several municipal contract clauses covering insurance and bonds, indemnification, prevailing wage requirements, anti-discrimination, anti-sweatshop standards, Buy American and steel product compliance, equal employment opportunity for formerly convicted individuals, and general legal compliance. Bidders must demonstrate responsibility through organizational capability, technical expertise, financial stability, and possession of required licenses and permits. Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise participation goals apply, requiring good faith efforts by contractors to foster inclusion. The City retains discretion to award on a per-item or total low-cost basis but stresses that the lowest bid must meet responsibility criteria. Insurance requirements include naming the City as additional insured, as detailed in attached certificate forms. Contractors also must comply with workplace safety standards, obtain necessary permits, and designate 24/7 emergency contacts. Security clearance may be necessary for work in sensitive locations. The contract includes detailed provisions on inspection and acceptance, mandating that work meet all contractual and technical standards, with the City holding authority to reject non-conforming work. The contractor must rectify deficiencies at no additional cost. Invoicing is manual and requires itemization and certification of accuracy, submitted within 30
