The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is soliciting pre-qualifications for construction of green stormwater infrastructure on Upland Way, with the pre-qualification questionnaire and supporting documents due October 13, 2026. This is a pre-qualification-only solicitation; approved contractors will be invited to a subsequent closed bid process. The estimated contract value is $3,000,000 to $4,000,000.

The scope encompasses design and construction of green stormwater management facilities, including bioretention areas, permeable pavements, and associated site improvements to manage stormwater runoff. Contractors must demonstrate experience with similar green infrastructure projects, adequate bonding capacity, and requisite state licensing credentials. All contractors must comply with Pennsylvania's prevailing wage requirements and applicable state and local public works regulations.

Pre-qualification submissions require completion of the Seller Pre-qualification Checklist and the Prequalification Questionnaire for Public Works. The questionnaire requests comprehensive documentation: years in business under current name, details of the largest projects completed in the past five years as both prime and subcontractors, licensing and business structure information, and certification status as MBE, WBE, or DSBE. Contractors must disclose current financial statements (not to exceed six months old), including assets, liabilities, equity position, and available lines of credit. All prior performance issues with the City or other public and private entities must be disclosed, including defaults, contract terminations, surety bond calls, work not accepted, liquidated damages, and penalties. Contractors must report criminal history, debarment actions, suspension from bidders' lists, pending litigation, tax delinquencies to the City, and any convictions or indictments of officers or principals. The City reserves the right to investigate submitted information, revoke qualifications at any time, contact references and financial institutions for verification, and disqualify contractors for misrepresentation. False submissions are subject to penalties under Pennsylvania law. Specific details regarding site visits, bidders' conferences, and the timeline for the closed bid solicitation will be provided to pre-qualified contractors following approval.
