Speed Table and Temporary Median Furnishment and Installation on Concrete Roadway Surface

The City of Pasadena is soliciting bids for a transportation infrastructure project involving the procurement and installation of nine speed tables and up to 400 feet of temporary vertical median treatment on North Raymond Avenue between Montana Street and Washington Boulevard. The project requires speed tables that are 40 feet wide, 18 feet long, and 3 to 3.5 inches tall, constructed from temporary materials like rubber or plastic with an anticipated lifespan of two to five years. Vertical median separators will be approximately 6 inches tall and positioned at 5-foot intervals along the center line, specifically designed to prevent U-turns near a school zone. The primary objectives are traffic calming and improving pedestrian safety in this urban corridor. The bid submission deadline is 2:00 pm on Friday, April 26, 2024, with electronic submissions required through the City's eProcurement Portal. Evaluation criteria will include the lowest Grand Total Price, considering factors such as material quality, bidder capacity, performance history, and future maintenance capabilities. Bidders must provide DIR (Department of Industrial Relations) registration and complete various required forms including AA-1, AA-2, and a Declaration of Non-Collusion.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the bidding documents emphasize equal employment opportunity standards. Contractors will be required to complete a Subcontractor Listing form, which allows for potential civil or structural engineering subcontractors. Bidders must have a Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov, and failure to provide this could result in a non-responsive bid. The project will require compliance with prevailing wage regulations and local hiring preferences. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves a one-year contract term with performance guaranteed through both a Material and Labor Bond and a Faithful Performance Bond. Additional requirements include providing comprehensive technical details through a DoIT Technical Questionnaire, which assesses the vendor's technology solutions and integration capabilities. The contract will necessitate detailed documentation of relevant experience, with space provided in the bid documents for contractors to demonstrate previous project qualifications similar in scope and complexity to this traffic infrastructure improvement project.
