About this file
This document is a bid scenario breakdown for the 412 Boulevard of the Allies City Offices Build-out & Construction project, prepared by the City of Pittsburgh on September 27, 2022. The document outlines three distinct contract procurement scenarios: (1) General Contractor with Sub-Contractors, (2) Multi-Prime Only, and (3) a Combination approach. Each scenario provides detailed instructions for bidding, contract award structures, and contractor responsibilities across general construction, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades.
The bid scenarios are designed to provide flexibility in contract award while ensuring comprehensive project coordination. Regardless of the chosen scenario, each trade's lump sum bid must include bonding, general conditions, overhead and profit, and potential general contractor mark-ups. The City will award contracts based on the combined lowest total bids for City and Common Areas, with a maximum of four total contractors. The primary goals are to streamline the bidding process, minimize coordination challenges, and ensure clear responsibilities for schedule management, work review, and payment approval across different trade contractors.

Additional Clarification for Multi-Prime vs. Single-Prime with Sub-contractors
9/27/2022
Regardless of which scenario below, each lump sum bid per trade should include: Bonding, General Conditions, Overhead & Profit, and GC mark-up on sub-contractor's fee (if applicable per scenario)
*REFERENCE RESPONSIBILITY MATRIX FOR CORRESPONDING WORK PER TRADE - SHEET G002 IN DWG SET
GC = General Contractor | MC = Mechanical Contractor | EC = Electrical Contractor | PC = Plumbing Contractor
If a multi-prime path is chosen, each trade will be awarded per the COMBINED lowest total when adding City Area & Common Area bids. In the multi-prime scenarios, there will only be ONE contractor awarded per trade, meaning a maximum possible total of (4) contractors. The City will NOT be awarding the City Area work and Common Area work separately, which would have the poten-tial for (8) contractors. We are NOT taking this route, as the contracting and coordination would be tremendously difficult.
Scenario #1 Breakdown:
• GC submits bid for general construction work (standard general conditions plus overhead & profit)
• GC submits bid on behalf of MC (include any applicable general conditions, overhead & profit, and mark-up)
• GC submits bid on behalf of EC (include any applicable general conditions, overhead & profit, and mark-up)
• GC submits bid on behalf of PC (include any applicable general conditions, overhead & profit, and mark-up)
Award Structure #1: (1) contract with City
• Low Bid GC awarded contract with City (combined total of GC+MEP work); GC responsible for paying & coordinating sub-contractors
Scenario #2 Breakdown:
• GC submits bid only for general construction work and marks other categories as "no bid"
• MC submits bid only for mechanical work and marks other categories as "no bid"
• EC submits bid only for electrical work and marks other categories as "no bid"
• PC submits bid only for plumbing work and marks other categories as "no bid"
Award Structure #2: (4) separate contracts with City
• Low Bid GC awarded for general construction scope; responsible for overall coordination of schedule as well as reviewing and approving the MEP primes’ work completed before City will issue payment to MEP primes
• Low Bid MC awarded for mechanical scope; must coordinate with GC & other trades
• Low Bid EC awarded for electrical scope; must coordinate with GC & other trades
• Low Bid PC awarded for plumbing scope; must coordinate with GC & other trades
• City and/or 3rd party CM would cover construction management & coordinate with all parties
Scenario #3 Breakdown:
• GC submits bid for general construction work; responsible for overall coordination of schedule as well as reviewing and approving the EC’s work completed before City will issue payment to EC
• GC submits bid on behalf of MC (include any applicable general conditions, overhead & profit, and mark-up)
• EC submits bid only for electrical work and marks other categories as "no bid"
• GC submits bid on behalf of PC (include any applicable general conditions, overhead & profit, and mark-up)
Award Structure #3: (2) to (3) separate contracts with City
• Low Bid GC awarded direct contract with City; GC is responsible for schedule, coordinating, & paying MC & PC as well as reviewing and approving the EC’s work completed before City will issue payment to EC
• Low Bid EC awarded for electrical scope; must coordinate with GC
