The City of Philadelphia is soliciting pre-qualification bids for an on-call General Construction Requirements Contract (4718GCONR) covering repairs and installation of general construction work at various city facilities on an as-needed, emergency, or time-sensitive basis, with pre-qualification questionnaires and financial statements due July 30, 2026. This is a pre-qualification solicitation; approved sellers will be invited to a subsequent closed bid process. A 5% Local Business Entity (LBE) preference applies to bids exceeding $1,000,000 and a 10% preference for bids of $1,000,000 or less, provided the seller or LBE-certified subcontractors perform the majority of work within Philadelphia.

The estimated contract value is $3 million with no guaranteed minimum over a contract duration of 1,460 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Bidding uses a weighted percentage markup formula: 70% for labor markup and 30% for material markup, with subcontractor markup fixed at 8%. Contractors must perform at least 20% of the original total contract price with their own workforce, exclusive of profit, overhead, insurance, and bond costs. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with diesel engine emissions controls requirements, including use of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and verified clean diesel technology for nonroad diesel engines over 50 horsepower.
