Special Event Barricades

The City of Pasadena Public Works Department is conducting a competitive bid solicitation for Special Event Barricades, seeking to purchase 400 standard barricade boards and 400 pairs of A-frame barricade legs. The procurement specifically requires 1" thick x 8" wide x 16' long barricade boards with reflective white and orange striping, along with plastic A-frame barricade legs. Each item must be stenciled with "CITY OF PASADENA STREET MAINTENANCE" in black letters, and all materials must be delivered by December 1, 2023, to the Pasadena Public Works Yards. Bids are due electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 pm on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, with a 120-day price validity period. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest Grand Total Price, with a sales tax rate of 10.25%, and bidders must provide factory warranties on materials, agreeing to repair or replace defective items at no cost to the City. The contract will have an initial one-year term with a potential one-year extension subject to the City Manager's approval.

The procurement includes several set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly emphasizing local and federal workforce regulations. Vendors must comply with Section 3 Federal Requirements, which 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 business concerns by meeting specific ownership and labor hour criteria. Contractors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, and failure to submit this may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves purchasing 400 sets of barricade equipment. The City of Pasadena demonstrates a commitment to local economic development by emphasizing recruitment of Pasadena residents for any new positions resulting from the contract. Additionally, vendors must submit documentation including a W-9 form, business license, and potentially provide proof of insurance to be considered for the contract.
