PQ List for Pre-Demolition Asbestos Surveys

The City of Pittsburgh’s Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections, is seeking to establish a Pre-Qualified Master Agreement (PQMA) list of contractors qualified to perform pre-demolition asbestos surveys. This solicitation (2025-PQMA-186), released on June 27, 2025, invites contractors to submit their applications by March 31, 2029, with the initial contract term extending until June 30, 2029. The procurement process requires electronic submission of completed application packets via email to contracts@pittsburghpa.gov, strictly disallowing other submission methods to avoid delays. Placement on this qualified vendor list allows contractors to compete for individual asbestos survey contracts issued thereafter, which will be awarded based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder following a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology. The scope mandates adherence to City specifications and all applicable laws, including Pennsylvania environmental regulations, with mandatory insurance certifications, certifications of non-collusion, and tax documentation such as IRS Form W-9 required for eligibility. The contract includes key provisions stipulating that contractors must be fully informed as to the nature, quality, and quantity of work and accept responsibility for compliance with all requirements. Subcontracting is prohibited without prior written consent, and key personnel substitutions require City approval. The City maintains inspection and acceptance rights at delivery locations within Pittsburgh, with performance benchmarks tied to timeliness and conformance to contract requirements. Payment terms are net 45 days post-invoice or completion, with the contract allowing for an optional extension period of up to 180 days under the same terms. The solicitation encourages participation by disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), minority, women, veteran-owned, and LGBTQIA+ businesses, requiring valid third-party certifications for recognition toward participation goals. While the contract does not follow federal FAR formats, it includes local clauses concerning termination, change orders, assignment restrictions, and government regulatory changes. No specific dollar value or contract ceiling is provided, and vendor inquiries are directed to designated City procurement contacts.
