First Aid Supplies - Parks & Recreation

The Parks, Recreation, & Community Services (PRCS) department for the City of Pasadena and Los Angeles County is conducting an informal selection procurement for first aid supplies, seeking comprehensive medical and emergency preparedness materials. The solicitation encompasses multiple first aid cabinets and kits, including 6 Class A First Aid 4 Shelf Wide Full Cabinets and 18 waterproof travel first aid kits with shoulder straps. The detailed inventory includes over 55 line items ranging from medical tools, protective equipment, medications, bandages, CPR mouth barriers, eye wash solutions, and emergency response materials. Vendors must submit electronic proposals through the City's eProcurement Portal by 12:00 pm on October 18, 2023, with a deadline for questions on October 10, 2023. Evaluation criteria will include material quality, vendor capacity, performance history, and ability to deliver promptly, with the contract awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract term is scheduled from October 5, 2023, to June 30, 2024, with delivery requirements of 3 business days per order to Robinson Park Recreation Center in Pasadena.

Vendors must comply with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) requirements and provide individually wrapped, ready-to-use medical supplies with factory warranties. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, vendors must complete various administrative forms including an Equal Opportunity Employment Affidavit, Workforce Utilization forms, and obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov. Failure to submit the UEI may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. Potential contractors must also be prepared to meet additional requirements such as obtaining a business license and potentially adhering to living wage ordinance standards if the contract value exceeds $25,000. Although specific budget allocations are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the first aid supply specifications suggests a significant investment in emergency preparedness for municipal recreational facilities. Vendors will be required to provide documentation of relevant experience through a standardized form demonstrating previous project completions in similar municipal or public sector contexts.
