The City of Santa Clarita is seeking a qualified designer/fabricator to create up to four life-size bronze statues commemorating first responders for a public park installation. The statues will represent personnel from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, a local EMT, and a local hospital nurse. This Request for Proposals (RFP), numbered AE-25-26-13, requires a contractor to complete a four-phase project involving design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of the statues. The city will provide reference photographs and conduct design reviews before fabrication. Evaluation of proposals will follow a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated as follows: understanding scope of work (15 points), experience and qualifications (20 points), proposal thoroughness (20 points), timeline (15 points), and cost (30 points). The solicitation was published on October 7, 2025, with the last day for questions on October 21, 2025, and proposal submissions due by November 6, 2025. The city reserves the right to select a contractor based solely on proposals or to conduct interviews with top-scoring bidders. The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrict participation to particular types of organizations. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements was provided in the documentation. While a specific budget was not disclosed, the comprehensive evaluation criteria suggest the city will prioritize quality and comprehensive approach over lowest cost. The contract will require the selected vendor to comply with the city's extensive Terms and Conditions, which include provisions for insurance, safety compliance, and adherence to California labor codes. Vendors must provide proof of general liability, auto liability, and worker's compensation insurance. The project aims to create an artistic tribute recognizing the service of local first responders in the Santa Clarita community, with the potential for a significant cultural and commemorative impact.
