Procurement of a 5, 000 Square Foot Prefabricated Steel Building

The City of Pasadena is seeking to procure a 5,000 square foot prefabricated steel building for the Pasadena Police Department's Air Operations Center located in Altadena, California. The procurement involves a steel structure with specific dimensions of 50' wide by 100' long and 21' in height, designed to serve as an aircraft hangar. The building must feature clear-span straight walls, a gable or single slope roof, and include two specialized hangar doors (one 12' x 15' and another 72' x 15') and two standard pedestrian doors. Bidders are required to provide certified engineering plans compliant with California building codes and supporting fire alarm and fire suppression systems. The competitive bid was released on January 25, 2024, with a bid submission deadline of February 26, 2024, at 5:00 pm, and electronic submissions must be made through the City's eProcurement Portal. Potential bidders had until February 16, 2024, to submit questions, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to remain valid for 120 days.

The procurement opportunity includes several set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly related to federal labor standards and equal opportunity employment. Bidders must comply with HUD Section 3 Federal Requirements, which mandate that 25% of total labor hours be worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers, with specific income eligibility guidelines for Los Angeles County. Contractors must also complete comprehensive documentation including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, Federal Labor Standards Provisions, and various certification forms addressing workforce diversity, non-discrimination, and labor standards. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will include the building cost, sales tax, and shipping to the heliport facility. The City will retain 5% of the contract amount until labor standards enforcement is complete, and non-compliance could result in potential contract termination, debarment, or suspension from future HUD-assisted contracts.
