PW Prequalification Bid 4281GCONR- FY 25 General Construction Requirements Contract

The City of Philadelphia's Procurement Department is conducting pre-qualification for a General Construction Requirements Contract (4281GCONR) valued at $3 million, with pre-qualification questionnaires and financial statements due July 30, 2026 by 5:00 PM EST through PHLContracts, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting via Microsoft Teams on July 22 at 10:00 AM. Approved pre-qualified sellers will be invited to a closed sealed-bid solicitation with quotes due August 18, 2026 before 10:30 AM EST.

This is an on-call general construction contract covering repairs, installations, and time-sensitive construction services at various Philadelphia facilities on as-needed basis; individual project specifications and timelines will be provided in future task orders. Contractors must perform at least 20 percent of the original total contract price with their own workforce, exclusive of profit, overhead, and bonding costs.

A Local Business Entity (LBE) preference of 10 percent applies to bids of $1 million or less, and 5 percent for larger amounts. Prevailing wage rates apply. Pricing is structured as a percentage mark-up on labor (weighted 70 percent), material (30 percent), and subcontractor costs (8 percent fixed mark-up); award goes to the lowest bidder under this formula. A bid bond equal to 10 percent of gross bid amount is required. Contractors must substantially complete work within 1,460 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed and comply with diesel engine emissions-control requirements, including ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and verified clean diesel retrofit technology for non-road engines exceeding 50 horsepower.

The pre-qualification questionnaire requires comprehensive disclosure of contractor experience, project history, financial position (current statement not more than six months old), adverse history (defaults, debarment, liens, claims, pending litigation), and references. All bid-related questions must be submitted through PHLContracts Q&A by July 30 at 5:00 PM EST. Vendors must execute a Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing. Funding is partially certified with additional appropriations subject to City Council approval; no minimum contract value is guaranteed.
