Architectural Plaques

The Pasadena Parks, Recreation, & Community Services Department (PRCS) is seeking a contractor to furnish labor, equipment, and materials for installing two architectural plaques in the City of Pasadena, California. The project requires one plaque to be mounted on a building located at 33 W. Green St. and another plaque to be installed on a post-mounted display at 30 W. Colorado Blvd. Specific technical requirements include using a black steel bracket/mount positioned at a 45-degree angle, with a minimum height of 3 feet and a stud boss mount. The solicitation was released on July 26, 2023, with a deadline for questions on August 1, 2023, and a final submission deadline of August 8, 2023, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals through the City's eProcurement Portal, including unit costs for sign type, mounting anchor, bracket, and installation, with a 10.25% sales tax applied. The contract is set to start on September 6, 2023, and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the Grand Total Price submitted. Evaluation criteria include compliance with the City's Living Wage Ordinance, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and demonstration of relevant experience with two similar governmental projects.

The procurement opportunity appears to have several set-aside and qualification requirements for potential bidders. Contractors must possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to submit this identifier potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid. The city encourages voluntary submission of workforce demographic forms (Forms AA-1, AA-2, and AA-3) to support diversity and equal opportunity goals, particularly for projects valued at $25,000 or more. Bidders may need to obtain a Pasadena Business License depending on the frequency of work in the city. Vendors must also be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and provide documentation of their professional background, including a Relevant Experience Form detailing up to five previous projects. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement process suggests a focused municipal project with potential integration requirements, including compatibility with the city's existing infrastructure and technology systems. The project will be funded by the City of Pasadena and is subject to municipal procurement regulations and oversight.
