PW Prequalification Bid - FY 2026 Annual Master Demolition Program

The City of Philadelphia’s Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Master Demolition Program (Solicitation Number B2623390) seeks qualified demolition contractors to participate in a prequalification-based, requirements-type purchase of service contract running from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The program is managed by the Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I), and participation requires vendors to submit a $25 electronic bid processing fee. Bidders must complete a detailed prequalification process that includes submission of a comprehensive questionnaire covering business experience, financial stability, licensing, and past contract performance. The program operates on a tiered award structure based on the bidder’s bonding capacity and qualifications, with higher tiers requiring performance and payment bonds. Accepted vendors will be allowed to bid on demolition projects throughout Pennsylvania during the contract period under the terms outlined in the associated solicitation documents. The contract requires adherence to stringent insurance, bonding, and safety standards tailored to demolition work. Contractors must maintain comprehensive liability insurance including general, automobile, and pollution coverage, and furnish certificates naming the City and describing the scope of work and structure classifications. OSHA training certification is mandatory for workers, with specific requirements for Demolition Supervisors and Site Safety Managers. Work must comply with applicable code requirements, including ASTM and International Building Code standards, with detailed expectations for site safety plans addressing pedestrian protection and adjacent property safeguards. Submissions require the completion of Exhibit K, an itemized quotation form detailing equipment, labor, and materials costs, and compliance with all contractual terms including prohibition of assignment without City approval. Vendors must also submit a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement via the City’s eProcurement portal (PHLContracts), ensuring electronic transaction compliance. Inspection and acceptance procedures focus on proper debris disposal verification, site safety, and conformance to technical specifications. The program encourages participation by Minority/Woman/Disabled Business Enterprises (M/W/DSBE) through a dedicated self-verification process overseen by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The overall approach facilitates a transparent, safety-conscious, and compliant procurement process for demolition services in Philadelphia.
