Prequalification pool for citywide demolition services

The City of Miami Beach is soliciting applications for a prequalification pool of contractors to provide citywide demolition services on an "as-needed" basis. This Invitation to Bid (ITB 2024-004-DF) seeks qualified contractors who will be available for demolition projects across various city departments. Eligible contractors must be State of Florida Certified General Contractors, Building Contractors, or Miami-Dade County Licensed Contractors with comprehensive capabilities in demolition services. The prequalification process requires contractors to submit a complete Bidder Prequalification Application, with an initial review of applications occurring 21 days after the ITB issuance. Qualified contractors will be placed on a prequalification list that city departments can access to obtain price quotations, with the prequalification status remaining valid for five years from the notice of award. Demolition projects under this solicitation are limited to those not exceeding $300,000, and contractors must undergo mandatory background checks with specific disqualifying criminal history criteria.

Contractors responding to this opportunity must meet several specific requirements and restrictions. For individual projects over $200,000, contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds from an A-rated Financial Class V Surety Company. The City reserves the right to remove contractors from the pool for lack of participation, poor performance, or other reasons deemed in the City's best interest. Contractors must comply with local ordinances related to non-discrimination, fair chance hiring, and ethical business practices. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes comprehensive qualifications and ethical standards for potential contractors. The City will continue to receive and review applications to potentially add firms to the demolition services pool, maintaining flexibility in contractor selection. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the limitation on project size to $300,000 provides a clear parameter for potential contract values.
