PQ List for Pre-Demolition Asbestos Surveys (CD)

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget, representing the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections, is soliciting contractors to form a pre-qualified list for conducting pre-demolition asbestos surveys. This solicitation, identified as 2025-PQMA-187, invites interested vendors to apply for qualification to perform asbestos surveys prior to demolition projects within the city. The contract period begins upon execution and extends through June 30, 2029. Vendors must submit their complete pre-qualification application packets electronically by March 31, 2029, solely via email to contracts@pittsburghpa.gov, with no acceptance through the OpenGov platform. Placement on the pre-qualified list does not guarantee contract awards; contracts will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for individual projects. Applicants must follow a two-step process: initially obtaining approval to be placed on the City's Pre-Qualified Vendor List by submitting detailed documentation including the application, insurance certificates, IRS Form W-9, and other certifications; subsequently, they may bid competitively on specific asbestos survey projects issued during the contract period. The scope of work requires contractors to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete asbestos surveys compliant with applicable regulations and City specifications. The contract emphasizes adherence to federal mandates such as wage laws, Section 3 workforce participation goals focusing on local and disadvantaged business enterprises (MBE, WBE, VOSB, LGBTQIA+), and the use of U.S.-produced materials where applicable. Contractors must comply with submission requirements, including certifications for debarment status, non-collusion, and affiliations, as incomplete or inaccurate documentation results in bid rejection. Key personnel substitutions, subcontracting, and contract modifications require prior City approval, ensuring robust contract administration. Payment terms are net 45 days, with delivery and performance locations within Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Contract awards follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, relying on qualitative assessments of responsiveness and responsibility without numerical weighting. The solicitation package provides comprehensive instructions, submission protocols, and mandatory contractual terms to ensure compliance and quality assurance throughout the contract term.
