This file is a bid specification addendum for the City of Toledo, Ohio regarding Project Labor Agreement (PLA) requirements for construction contracts. The addendum establishes that any successful bidder awarded a construction contract of $100,000 or greater funded by the City of Toledo must execute a Project Labor Agreement with the Northwest Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council (NWOBTC). The bidder is required to attend a pre-job conference with the NWOBTC within fifteen (15) days of bid award notification, and must deliver an executed PLA to the Division of Purchases and Supplies within fifteen (15) working days from the pre-job conference. The PLA must be signed by both the lead contractor and the Executive Secretary of the NWOBTC to be considered valid. All contractors and subcontractors of the successful bidder must comply with and adhere to all provisions of the executed PLA.

The contract opportunity referenced is the Safety Building HVAC Pumps and VFD Replacement project in Toledo, Ohio. Bids must be submitted electronically through the City of Toledo's PlanetBids portal, and all bid submittals must include construction project paperwork, line items, a bid guaranty (bid bond or certified check payable to the City of Toledo), and a signed contract by the vendor. The bid guaranty must be received by the Division of Purchases and Supplies by the stated deadline for the bid to be considered responsive. Beginning with bids advertised on or after March 13, 2026, certain company documents will only need to be submitted once for the duration of all contracts with the City, though the company is responsible for notifying the city of any changes to submitted information.
