Stand-by Basic Life Support Ambulance Services

The City of Pasadena Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department is seeking a vendor to provide stand-by basic life support ambulance services for the annual Centennial Square Boxing Event at Pasadena City Hall on June 25, 2024. The contractor must supply one Basic Life Support Ambulance staffed with two Emergency Medical Technicians, equipped with a CHP certified ambulance containing specific medical equipment including a gurney, oxygen, airway adjuncts, bag valve masks, suction equipment, c-spine immobilization gear, and advanced first aid supplies. The event runs from 5 pm to 11 pm, with the contract term spanning from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. Proposals are due electronically by 2:00 pm on June 25, 2024, through the City's eProcurement Portal. Evaluation will be based on the lowest Grand Total Price submitted, with the contract awarded to responsive and responsible bidders. Vendors must submit a comprehensive proposal including pricing, relevant experience, vendor questionnaires, and potential additional documentation. Key qualifications include compliance with municipal requirements, potential Pasadena Business License obligations, Equal Employment Opportunity provisions, and Living Wage Ordinance standards for contracts exceeding $25,000.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete several mandatory forms, including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, insurance documentation, and workforce diversity reporting forms for contracts valued at $25,000 or more. Vendors must provide proof of insurance meeting specific requirements, including Commercial General Liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability coverage of $2,000,000 per accident, and Workers' Compensation insurance with statutory California limits. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive documentation requirements suggest a professional and detailed procurement process. Insurers must be authorized to conduct business in California with an A.M. Best's rating of no less than A:VII. The city reserves the right to modify insurance requirements based on risk, experience, or special circumstances, and failure to maintain required insurance coverage could result in contract termination or the city purchasing coverage on the contractor's behalf.
