Dog Waste Bags

The City of Pasadena's Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services - Parks Division is seeking a vendor to supply dog waste management equipment and supplies through an informal selection solicitation. The procurement includes 40 cases of Smart Litter Pick Up Bags (30 rolls per case with 200 bags per roll), 40 cases of Smart Liner Trash Bags (200 liners per case), and 2 Aluminum DogiPot Pet Stations. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria considering material quality, bidder capacity, performance ability, financial resources, and past performance. Key dates include a question deadline of May 3, 2024, and a proposal submission deadline of May 10, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The contract term is from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, with pricing to remain fixed throughout this period. Vendors must submit all required documents through the City's eProcurement Portal, including vendor questionnaires, relevant experience forms, and confirmation of delivery capabilities within 4 business days of submission.

Potential bidders must complete several administrative requirements, including providing a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to do so potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid. Vendors may be required to obtain a business license and comply with the Living Wage Ordinance if the contract exceeds $25,000. The solicitation includes optional equal opportunity employment forms (AA-1, AA-2, and AA-3) that allow vendors to provide voluntary self-reporting information about workforce composition and diversity. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be funded directly by the City of Pasadena. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and makes no firm commitment to award a contract. Vendors must be prepared to provide proof of insurance prior to contract award and demonstrate their capability to meet the specific equipment and supply requirements outlined in the solicitation.
