This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance (TC) document related to the City of Pasadena's Design-Build Services project for a Hydrogen Fueling Station. The City of Pasadena is requesting Design-Build proposals from qualified contractors to design, build, operate, and maintain a stand-alone hydrogen-fueling station that will utilize delivered liquid hydrogen as the primary storage medium to support the city's planned fleet of fuel cell electric buses. The project follows a single-phased delivery process and will result in a Stipulated Sum Design-Build Contract award. Selection will be based on a best value basis, evaluating proposers across five key areas: project experience, team composition, project approach and methodology, financial strength, and safety record. The evaluation criteria also include qualifications, organizational composition, technical proposals, safety records, local and small business status, price proposals, and interview performance, with final selection conducted pursuant to Pasadena Municipal Code section 4.08.047.

The project is funded in part by the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program and EnergIIZe, with additional funding sources referenced in the documentation. This FEMA Technical Assistance document provides supplementary support and guidance for the design-build project execution. The initiative demonstrates the city's commitment to advancing clean transportation infrastructure and reducing emissions through the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology for public transit operations.
