Furnish/Install Pool Membrane Linings 2023

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management & Budget, on behalf of Parks and Recreation's Aquatics Division, is issuing Invitation for Bid #2023-IFB-066 for the furnish and installation of pool membrane linings at various city-owned facilities. The procurement requires contractors to install a 60 mil single-ply PVC membrane lining system with specifications for texture options (pebble, smooth, or slip-resistant), light blue coloring, and optional racing lane markings. Deliverables include PVC pool shell installations across multiple square footage ranges, labor services for various personnel types, depth markers, geotextile fabric underlayment, and PVC-coated steel components. The membrane and welds are warranted for ten years with one-year installation service warranties. Prospective bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in pool liner installation and provide Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals used. The contract period runs from May 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, with two optional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due on April 27, 2023, at 2:00 pm, with contract commencement anticipated for May 1, 2023.

The City has incorporated equal opportunity participation goals requiring bidders to demonstrate commitment to minority-owned business enterprises (18% participation goal), women-owned business enterprises (7% participation goal), and veteran-owned business enterprises (5% participation goal). Qualified bidders must complete multiple forms including an EORC Participation Form, Statement of Affiliations, and Vendor Registration Form, and must demonstrate compliance with all applicable local ordinances and regulations. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While specific budget ranges or award values are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, the comprehensive scope of work across multiple city facilities with extended contract periods and renewal options suggests a substantial procurement opportunity. Bidders should note that pricing is structured across multiple categories with different rates for various installation types and personnel classifications, allowing for detailed cost evaluation and comparison.
