A&E Design Services, Demolition of Existing and Construction of New Aircraft Hangar Building

The City of Pasadena is seeking Architectural and Engineering (A&E) design services for a comprehensive project involving the demolition of an existing aircraft hangar and construction of a new prefabricated steel hangar building at the Pasadena Police Heliport located at 2175 N. Yucca Lane in Altadena. The project scope includes comprehensive design services, geotechnical investigation, demolition planning, architectural design, specifications, and cost estimates for replacing a 2,400 square foot existing structure with a new 5,000 square foot hangar. Proposers must be California Licensed Architects and submit detailed technical and price proposals electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal. The evaluation will be based on a points-based system: proposed solution (30%), experience (30%), company staffing (30%), local Pasadena business preference (5%), and small/micro-business preference (5%). The RFP was released on February 1, 2023, with a question submission deadline of February 21, 2023, and a proposal submission deadline of March 1, 2023. The initial contract term is one year with an optional one-year extension, subject to the City Manager's approval.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference considerations, with specific provisions for local Pasadena businesses and small/micro-businesses receiving additional evaluation points. The project appears to have federal funding elements, as evidenced by the HUD Federal Attachments, which include Section 3 regulations requiring 25% of total labor hours to be worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers. Contractors must comply with various local requirements, including the Living Wage Ordinance and the Taxpayer Protection Amendment. Proposers are required to complete multiple compliance forms, including Conflict of Interest Disclosures, Disqualification Disclosures, and Unique Entity Identifier documentation. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves substantial infrastructure development and will require comprehensive architectural and engineering design services for a new municipal aircraft hangar. Potential bidders must demonstrate robust financial management systems and provide comprehensive documentation including licenses, certifications, and various disclosure forms to be considered for the contract.
