Crane Inspections & Repair Services

The Long Beach Public Utilities Department is requesting quotations for crane inspections, preventive maintenance, and as-needed repair services for fixed and mobile cranes, with quotations due February 17, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. under RFQ UD-26-310. A 10% local-vendor preference applies to Long Beach-based businesses meeting criteria, capped at $50,000 per bid.

The scope covers three quarterly inspections (January, April, July) and one annual inspection (October) per calendar year at three locations: Operations Service Center (1731 E. 33rd Street), Groundwater Treatment Plant (2950 Redondo Avenue), and Gas Facility (2400 E. Spring Street). Load testing is required during annual inspections. Cranes exceeding three tons capacity require quadrennial inspections. The contractor must provide pricing for inspections by crane capacity categories (fixed overhead cranes under 3 tons, 3–10 tons, and over 10 tons; mobile cranes under 30 tons and over 30 tons), repair labor at hourly rates across the three locations, emergency repair services at hourly rates, and parts discounts as a percentage. All services must comply with CAL/OSHA and ASME standards. The contractor must obtain annual CAL/OSHA crane certification, maintain a valid California contractor's license and Long Beach business license, and be located within a 40-mile radius of the Operations Service Center.

The contract term is one year with a mutual option to extend one additional year. Unit prices and percentage discounts must remain firm for the one-year period with no increases or decreases permitted; the LBPUD reserves the right to cancel if prices are increased or discounts decreased. The contractor must respond to as-needed repair requests within 24 hours or same-day for emergencies, provide written estimates at no cost, maintain a crane inventory with inspection schedules, submit post-service reports, and carry General Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence or $2,000,000 aggregate, Automobile Liability of $500,000, and Workers' Compensation with $1,000,000 Employers Liability limits.
