Fence Repair and Installation for Substation and Dispatch

The City of Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) is conducting an informal selection procurement for as-needed fence repair and installation services for its Substations and Dispatch facilities. The project (ID: 2023-Informal-437) requires a vendor capable of performing comprehensive fence-related services, including repairing chain link fence holes, installing perimeter fencing, installing various gate types, and maintaining existing fences and gates. Vendors must submit electronic proposals through the City's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 pm on May 31, 2023, with a deadline for questions on May 24, 2023. The contract will run from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, with evaluation based on the lowest Grand Total Price from responsive and responsible bidders. Key qualifications include providing evidence of two similar governmental projects, possessing a valid California Department of Industrial Relations Public Works Contractor Registration Number, and completing mandatory forms such as AA1, AA2, and AA3. Bidders must price six specific line items for fence and gate installation and repair services and demonstrate compliance with equal employment opportunity provisions, non-collusion declarations, and living wage ordinances.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations, but the City of Pasadena emphasizes workforce diversity and equal opportunity employment practices. Vendors must submit a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to do so potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid. The solicitation requires detailed documentation of vendor qualifications, including a Relevant Experience Form documenting five past projects, a Technical Questionnaire, and forms detailing workforce composition and employment practices. While no specific contract value is listed, the comprehensive documentation requirements suggest a structured procurement process focused on selecting a qualified, experienced contractor. The city's requirements include submission of administrative documents such as a Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form and verification of business credentials, indicating a thorough vetting process for potential contractors. Vendors must also provide an active Pasadena business license and comply with various municipal and state regulatory requirements.
