This is a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) submission form issued by the City of Pasadena for use in conjunction with a power line clearance tree trimming, tree removal, and vegetation management services contract solicitation. The City of Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive power line clearance services, including tree trimming, brush clearing, and weed abatement throughout Pasadena. Contractors must field a minimum of six two-person power line clearance crews, with an estimated 14,560 crew hours annually. Work must comply with OSHA 1910.269 and California Code of Regulations standards. Bids are due by 4:00 pm on September 18, 2025, with project release on August 28, 2025. The initial contract term is three years from execution, with potential for three optional one-year extensions. The form requires bidders to submit contractor name, business address, a 12-character UEI obtained from SAM.gov, and contact information with their bid submission; failure to provide the UEI may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting minimum qualification requirements, with evaluation based on cost and demonstrated expertise in power line clearance. Contractors must provide safety records, training programs, certification of line clearance tree trimmers, and proof of required C-49 or C-61/D-49 licenses. Insurance requirements include $5,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Automobile Liability, and California-mandated workers' compensation coverage. Prevailing wage laws and local Pasadena municipal codes apply. The procurement is open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations; however, the city indicates a preference for local Pasadena or California-based contractors and emphasizes local business and workforce development. The substantial insurance and workforce requirements suggest significant contract value, though no explicit budget range is stated.
