The City of Pittsburgh has a pool of pre-qualified businesses for tree planting services on an as-needed basis. When a tree planting opportunity arises, the City solicits bids from this pre-qualified pool, and awards the job to the the lowest responsible bidder. The City will use this pool until the submission end date posted on this page. To apply to join this pre-qualified pool, follow the instructions in the Request for Qualified Vendors document below. You'll need to submit 1 signed original and 1 copy of the Agreement from the Request for Qualified Vendors document, hard copies of attachments A - C, proof of a $5,000 performance bond, a current insurance certificate naming the City of Pittsburgh as "additionally insured", and a copy of pre-printed IRS labels from your tax forms.
Not sure where to start? The document labeled as an RFP (Request for Proposals), RFQ (Request for Qualifications), or IFB (Invitations for Bid) will contain more detailed instructions about the project timeline, what we're looking for, and how to put together a propsal.
Sealed proposals must be received by the time indicated in the solicitation document on the last day of the submission period. See document for specific instructions concerning printed and/or digital copies. Postmarks are not sufficient. Proposals by fax and email will not be accepted.
Mail or deliver proposals to the address detailed in the main solicitation document (RFP, IFB, RFQ).
