About this file

This is a 100% Design Development Project Manual for the City of Pasadena's Transit Operations Maintenance Facility (TOMF) construction project, prepared by HDR as the design architect. The document serves as the technical specifications and procurement requirements for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method project. The Project Manual contains comprehensive specifications organized by construction divisions, including structural concrete, masonry, metals, wood and composites, thermal and moisture protection, openings, finishes, specialties, equipment, furnishings, conveying systems, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, communications, electronic safety and security, earthwork, exterior improvements, utilities, and specialized equipment. The document includes multiple placeholder flySHEETS for sections to be completed at a later date, including the Advertisement for Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Substitutions Prior to Bidding, Available Project Information, Subsurface Drilling and Sampling Information, and Bid Form. The document is dated May 5, 2025, and is marked as unedited content and work in progress, indicating this is a preliminary version of the construction documents.

The Project Manual establishes the framework for a two-phase CMAR delivery process consisting of Phase 1 (Preconstruction/Design-Assist Services) with an optional Phase 2 (Construction). The City of Pasadena will select no more than five finalists from submitted proposals for interview and final scoring based on qualifications, team composition, technical approach, financial strength, safety record, local and small business status, and price. The final contract award will be based on best value determination, and the City intends to reach a mutually agreeable Final Guaranteed Maximum Price prior to proceeding with construction. The document notes that the City is not obligated to authorize Phase 2 or issue a separate construction contract, and specific pricing terms, due dates, site visit information, and other contract-specific details are to be provided in separate sections marked as flySHEETS to be inserted during final document preparation.
