PW Prequal Bid 2908-CONSTRUCTION of GSI in DEVEREAUX AVE from HAWTHORNE ST

The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department is soliciting pre-qualification submissions for construction of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) on Devereaux Avenue from Hawthorne Street, with pre-qualification responses due October 13, 2026. This is a pre-qualification-only solicitation; approved contractors will receive subsequent notice and invitation to a closed-bid phase. Local Business Entity (LBE) certification status is requested in the submission checklist, signaling a potential preference or set-aside pathway in the eventual closed bid.

The scope is design and construction of stormwater management improvements along the specified corridor. Contractors must demonstrate experience, financial capacity, equipment availability, and safety compliance relevant to stormwater infrastructure and green infrastructure implementation. Technical specifications and construction plans are provided in the attached specification and plans documents (SPEC BID 2908 and PLANS BID 2908). PennDOT addendum AD 2908 (and related addenda) establishes eligibility criteria, bonding requirements, insurance provisions, and performance-history evaluation standards. Contractors must submit an executed Consent & Authorization form, a completed Prequalification Questionnaire marked confidential, and any applicable supplemental questionnaires; all submissions must address validation warnings before final submission.

The estimated project value ranges from $2 million to $3 million. The pre-qualification phase serves as a screening mechanism to establish a qualified vendor list prior to competitive sealed bidding; successful pre-qualification does not guarantee contract award. PennDOT reserves the right to reject applications that do not meet minimum requirements or contain incomplete information. Specific technical details, bonding thresholds, insurance specifications, and any minority or disadvantaged business enterprise set-asides are contained in the full specification documents.
