Production and Delivery of Parking Meter Signs, Poles and Related Hardware

The City of Pasadena's Department of Transportation is seeking a vendor to produce and deliver comprehensive parking meter infrastructure, specifically 10 signs measuring 18" x 30", 393 signs measuring 12" x 24", 594 signs measuring 24" x 24", 167 10' poles, and 2,850 mounting hardware components. The procurement focuses on a city-wide installation of new multi-space parking meters, with all materials required to be .063 thick aluminum with High Intensity Prismatic lettering. Vendors must deliver materials within 30 days of contract execution to the City of Pasadena Yards Sign Shop, with delivery sorted by specific city areas including Old Pasadena, Playhouse, Civic Center, and West Gateway. The bid requires electronic submission through the City's eProcurement Portal, with vendors completing multiple compliance forms including Equal Employment Opportunity documentation and a Declaration of Non-Collusion. Evaluation criteria will consider material quality, vendor capacity, performance history, and delivery timeline capabilities. The bid is due on Friday, August 30, 2024, at 2:00 pm, with pricing required to remain valid for 120 days, and the contract term set for one year from execution.

The procurement includes federal HUD Section 3 requirements, which mandate that 25% of total labor hours be worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers. Businesses can qualify as Section 3 concerns by meeting specific ownership and workforce criteria, such as being at least 51% owned by low-income persons or having over 75% of labor hours performed by Section 3 workers. The city will apply the Pasadena Living Wage Ordinance for contracts exceeding $25,000 and reserves the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Potential price adjustments may be considered based on the Consumer Price Index. Vendors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to submit potentially rendering the bid non-responsive. Additional compliance requirements include completing federal labor standards provisions, worker compensation certifications, and lobbying activity disclosures. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment in parking meter modernization.
