Specialty Preservation Construction

The Pennsylvania Historic & Museum Commission (PHMC) is offering an open enrollment process for preservation and traditional trade contractors, craftspeople, and artisans to become pre-qualified to bid on preservation construction projects on historic buildings at PHMC's historic sites and museums throughout Pennsylvania. This is an ongoing opportunity that allows interested parties to apply at any time until June 30, 2019. The contract will cover Specialty Preservation Construction services such as carpentry, window restoration, plaster repair, masonry work, and historic roofing. Applicants will be evaluated based on their experience on historic restoration projects, the qualifications of the project manager, and their quality control plan. Those who meet a minimum 70% qualification score will be designated as pre-qualified bidders eligible to submit competitive sealed bids for future PHMC projects.

The contract opportunity is open to small businesses only, and there is no set-aside for any particular enterprise type. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the contract does not provide any details on pricing, funding requirements, or award values. The open enrollment process is designed to establish a pool of eligible bidders for future project-specific procurements, rather than award a single contract with a defined scope and budget.
