Modular Block Wall Construction CD

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Mobility & Infrastructure, is soliciting bids for Modular Block Wall Construction through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2024-IFB-004. The procurement covers comprehensive construction services including excavation, concrete work, wall foundation installation, modular retaining wall units, bituminous courses, sidewalk and curb construction, and related traffic maintenance. Bid documents indicate a contract period from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2026, with two potential one-year renewal options. Key deadlines include bid questions due by April 22, 2024, and final bid responses required by May 13, 2024, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and comply with Davis-Bacon federal wage requirements, which include specific prevailing wage determinations outlined in Area Wage Decision PA20240002. Evaluation criteria emphasize compliance with city, state, and federal regulations, including equal employment opportunity standards, clean air and water act compliance, and specific construction material standards.

The procurement appears open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though federal funding requirements suggest potential opportunities for diverse businesses. Bidders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and prepared to provide performance and payment bonds for projects completed under the contract. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the procurement encompasses infrastructure improvement services across Allegheny County and Philadelphia City jurisdictions. The bid includes detailed pricing proposals with line items for construction materials and labor, with quantities specified in units such as cubic yards, square yards, linear feet, and individual items. Though a specific total contract value is not disclosed, the two-year contract with renewal options and comprehensive construction scope suggests a potentially significant municipal infrastructure investment.
