This is an Emergency FEMA Technical Assistance document related to the City of Pasadena's On-Call Architectural Services procurement. The document pertains to FEMA emergency support services for facilities owned or operated by the City of Pasadena, California. The City seeks to establish a pool of up to five qualified architectural firms to provide multidisciplinary professional services for municipal properties. Services requested include facility assessments, programming, feasibility studies, design, permitting support, bidding support, construction administration, site observation, project closeout, historic preservation, and accessibility improvements for various facility types including municipal offices, public safety facilities, libraries, parks and recreation buildings, transit and maintenance facilities, and other public facilities. The contract structure allows for on-call assignments with flexible project scopes and durations based on City needs.

The procurement addresses facilities that may be designated historic resources, located within historic districts, or listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, requiring specialized expertise in historic preservation compliance. As an on-call services contract, pricing and terms would be established through the consultant selection process, with specific project rates and fees determined on a project-by-project basis upon task order issuance. The FEMA funding source indicates this relates to emergency or disaster-related facility needs, with technical assistance requirements driving the procurement. The pool structure allows the City flexibility to engage multiple firms as needed while maintaining continuity of specialized architectural services for its diverse municipal facility portfolio.
