Rebid of RFP#: 10238 Professional Commercial Real Estate Broker

The Community College of Philadelphia is soliciting bids for the replacement and upgrade of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems at its Northeast Regional Center (NERC), specifically targeting the installation of forty-four new high-efficiency heat pumps and four new house pumps to replace aging, non-operational, or inefficient units that have exceeded their useful lifespan. The project aims to enhance building comfort, improve energy efficiency, and ensure long-term operational reliability. Bidders are required to participate in a pre-bid walk-through on July 8, 2026, at the NERC building to assess and document the tonnage, size, and voltage of each existing unit to ensure precise and accurate proposals. All bids must be submitted electronically via the PennBid portal by the deadline of July 29, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET, and the solicitation is open only to vendors who comply with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Prevailing Wage Act. Contract award will be based on a weighted evaluation of price (25%), qualifications and team composition (25%), relevant experience and past performance (15%), method of performance (15%), commitment to diversity and inclusion (15%), and references (5%), with the contract not necessarily going to the lowest bidder but to the vendor deemed most advantageous to the College. The successful contractor must adhere to strict confidentiality requirements, including the return or destruction of all confidential information and certification of compliance, and must indemnify the College against liabilities. All project records remain the property of the College and are subject to audit. The contract will include bonding, insurance, and labor compliance obligations, requiring vendors to submit proof of worker’s compensation coverage, non-collusion affidavits, EEO-1 workforce data certification, and an affidavit confirming they are not debarred or suspended from federal contracting. Vendors must also comply with Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law, providing background checks for personnel with student contact if requested, and adhere to all non-discrimination laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. Performance will be governed by a firm fixed fee or not-to-exceed pricing structure, with monthly invoicing processed through the College’s Accounts Payable Department and payment issued within thirty days of receipt, contingent upon satisfactory performance. The contractor must submit detailed proposals demonstrating project scheduling, risk mitigation, quality assurance protocols, and compliance with all technical and administrative specifications, and all materials must be delivered in manufacturer-sealed packaging with proper labeling.
