PQ List for Pre-Demolition Asbestos Surveys (CD)

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections, is soliciting a Pre-Qualified Master Agreement (PQMA) for pre-demolition asbestos surveys across the city. The procurement is specifically seeking a list of pre-qualified contractors certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry to conduct comprehensive asbestos inspections for structures within Pittsburgh. Contractors must be prepared to perform detailed pre-demolition surveys using a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded approach, with a contract period extending from execution through midnight on June 30th, 2029. Interested contractors must submit a complete electronic application packet to contracts@pittsburghpa.gov by March 31st, 2029, which must include documentation such as insurance certificates, professional references, and vendor registration forms. Key qualifications include holding a valid Pennsylvania asbestos inspection license, maintaining appropriate insurance coverage (specifically $1 million in general liability and $2 million in aggregate), and demonstrating compliance with federal funding requirements and regulations.

The solicitation includes significant set-aside and diversity requirements, with specific participation goals for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs): 18% for Minority-Owned Business Enterprises, 7% for Women-Owned Business Enterprises, 5% for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and 3% for LGBTQIA+ businesses. Contractors must comply with federal regulations including the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, Build America/Buy America Act, and various labor and non-discrimination standards, with potential contract termination for non-compliance. The procurement also incorporates Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act, requiring contractors to provide training and employment opportunities to low- and very low-income residents in the Pittsburgh area. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the pre-demolition asbestos survey requirements and the multi-year contract period suggest a substantial potential contract value. The City will closely monitor DBE participation levels and may take remedial actions for contractors failing to meet the established diversity and inclusion targets.
