Prefabricated Steel Structure - 5, 000 Square Feet

The City of Pasadena is seeking to procure a prefabricated steel structure for the Pasadena Police Department's Air Operations Center located in Altadena, California. The specific procurement involves a 5,000 square foot (50' x 100') all-steel aircraft hangar with two potential structural configurations: Group A (50' wide by 100' long) and Group B (100' wide by 50' long), both 21' in height. The bid was released on June 1, 2023, with electronic proposals due by 2:00 pm on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, through the City's eProcurement Portal. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including forms AA-1, AA-2, signature and legal status documents, and a declaration of non-collusion. The initial contract term will be one year from execution, with no optional extension periods. Evaluation criteria include compliance with detailed structural specifications, delivery capabilities, and adherence to city procurement requirements. Bidders must provide pricing valid for 120 days and may be required to submit additional documentation such as W-9 forms, business licenses, and insurance certificates.

The procurement opportunity includes several set-aside and compliance requirements that may impact potential respondents. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act mandates that employment and economic opportunities be directed to low- and very low-income persons, with specific benchmarks including 25% of total labor hours worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers. Businesses can qualify as Section 3 concerns by meeting ownership and labor hour criteria. The project is subject to the City's Living Wage Ordinance for contracts exceeding $25,000 and requires compliance with federal labor standards, prevailing wage requirements, and equal employment opportunity regulations. Contractors must provide detailed payroll records, certify compliance with various federal regulations, and maintain accurate documentation of worker classifications. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the project is funded by the City of Pasadena and involves a comprehensive set of federal and local compliance requirements that will likely impact the total project cost and vendor selection process.
