Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Supply for Municipal Fleet Operations

The City of Pasadena Public Works Department, Bureau of Street and Fleet Maintenance Division is issuing a Request for Information on Renewable Natural Gas supply for the City's compressed natural gas vehicle fleet, with responses due August 17, 2026.

Respondents must detail experience supplying RNG to governmental agencies, the number of public agency customers served, and specific RNG services including commodity supply, pipeline transportation, environmental attributes such as Renewable Identification Numbers and Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits, carbon intensity reporting, and regulatory compliance reporting. The City also requests information on tracking and reporting environmental attributes, assistance with environmental credits and incentive programs, preferred contract term lengths (1-year, 3-year, 5-year, or longer), ability to supply RNG through Southern California Gas pipeline, monthly usage and environmental reporting capabilities, pricing structure methodology, prior governmental procurement experience, and willingness to respond to formal competitive solicitations.
