PW Prequalification Bid 2484 - HVAC and Glycol System Betterment at Northeast WPCP

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is soliciting prequalification applications for HVAC and Glycol System Betterment work at the Northeast Water Pollution Control Plant, with prequalification applications due October 6, 2026. Approved prequalifiers will receive separate notice and invitation to a closed bid solicitation; this is a prequalification-only phase, not the competitive bidding stage.

The estimated project value exceeds $5 million. The scope encompasses design and construction of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and glycol system improvements at the Northeast WPCP facility. Technical specifications, contract drawings, and reference drawings are provided as attachments; contractors must demonstrate capability to perform work meeting all technical specifications and compliance with applicable Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection regulations and industry codes.

Prequalification applicants must submit a completed Prequalification Questionnaire and Seller Prequalification Checklist. Required documentation includes business registration, proof of insurance coverage, financial statements, safety records, evidence of relevant HVAC and glycol system experience, bonding capacity appropriate to the project scope, and compliance with Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements. Contractors must disclose experience as both prime and subcontractors, the largest dollar amount of work completed in any single year during the prior five years, prior defaults or terminations, officer and management criminal histories, debarment or suspension status, pending litigation or regulatory proceedings, current indebtedness to the City of Philadelphia, and any liens or stop notices. The City reserves the right to investigate statements and may disqualify sellers for misrepresentation or material changes in financial or corporate status; submission of false information is subject to penalties under Pennsylvania law.

Contractors approved during prequalification will be placed on an Approved Bidders List and invited to submit bids during the subsequent closed solicitation phase. Only contractors named on the approved list will be permitted to bid.
