Crime Scene Cleanup

The City of Pasadena Police Department is seeking a professional Crime Scene Cleanup and Remediation company to provide comprehensive cleanup services within city limits. The contract involves cleaning and sterilizing crime scenes, contaminated vehicles, police equipment, evidence lockers, jail cells, and potentially performing COVID-19 disinfecting for large offices. Bidders must possess a minimum of 5 years of experience in crime scene cleanup, hold a California State Health Department Trauma Scene Waste Act Registration, and maintain OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Certification. The competitive bid solicitation (Project ID: 2024-IFB-LM-0594) requires electronic submission through the City's eProcurement Portal by 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Vendors must provide unit costs for each service category, with an estimated range of 10 to 150 service units per category. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest Grand Total Price, and contractors must demonstrate 24/7 availability, ability to respond to cleanup requests within 2 hours, and capability to submit detailed reports of cleanup activities.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the bid documents emphasize compliance with equal employment opportunity provisions and local requirements such as the Pasadena Living Wage Ordinance. Bidders are required to complete a Relevant Experience Form documenting five previous projects similar in scope and size, which will help verify contractor capabilities. A 5% bid security bond is mandatory, and the initial contract term is three years from the date of execution with no optional extension periods specified. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive documentation requirements, including a Unique Entity ID and various compliance forms, suggest a rigorous selection process. The city reserves the right to reject any or all bids and will not be liable for bid preparation costs. Contractors must also provide a Faithful Performance Bond and a Material and Labor Bond, indicating the city's emphasis on financial and operational accountability.
