The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, acting on behalf of the Department of Public Works, is soliciting bids for Electrical Repair Services through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2025-IFB-054. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive electrical repair services for a two-year contract period from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2027, with potential for two optional one-year renewals. The bid requires a detailed rate schedule covering multiple electrical labor categories, including superintendent, journeyman electrician, foreman, apprentices at varying experience levels, and electrician's laborers. Vendors must submit pricing using a cost-plus model with a percentage markup on materials, which must include delivery, handling, and freight costs. Key submission deadlines include a question submission cutoff on March 14, 2025, and a final bid submission deadline of March 21, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with the bid opening scheduled for 3:00 pm the same day at the Office of Management & Budget, Bureau of Procurement.

The procurement includes specific equal opportunity enterprise goals, mandating Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE) participation at 18%, Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE) at 7%, and Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (VBE) at 5%. These set-aside designations are designed to promote diversity and inclusion among potential contractors. Bidders must complete an EORC Participation Form, Vendor Contact Sheet, Vendor Registration Form, and provide a W-9 to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed rate schedule and cost-plus model suggest a flexible procurement approach that allows for varying project scopes and complexity. The jurisdictional scope encompasses Allegheny County and Philadelphia City, indicating a potential wide-ranging service area for the selected electrical repair services contractor. Interested vendors must carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the city's procurement guidelines and equal opportunity objectives to be considered for this contract opportunity.
