Street Light Materials for Linda Vista Avenue

The City of Pasadena Public Works Department is seeking to procure street light materials for the Linda Vista Avenue Street Light Conversion project through a competitive bid process. The procurement includes 35 LED cobrahead fixtures (100w HPS equivalent), 8 verde green color 800CL poles, 140 TGS 36w G5 lamps, 50 lantern fixtures, 110 5-ampere fuses, 110 Ripley button photoeye controls, and 5,000 linear feet each of red and white #12 AWG wire. Electronic submissions are required prior to 2:00 pm on Thursday, March 14, 2024, through the City's eProcurement Portal, with the initial contract term set for one year from the date of execution. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on multiple factors including material quality, bidder's capacity and skill, performance history, and ability to provide future maintenance. Bidders must comply with Equal Employment Opportunity practices and submit various forms such as AA-1, AA-2, and a Declaration of Non-Collusion. Evaluation criteria will include the vendor's technical capabilities, prior performance, and ability to meet the specific technical specifications outlined in the detailed product documentation.

The procurement opportunity appears to have several set-aside considerations and compliance requirements, including federal HUD Section 3 guidelines that prioritize employment and economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons. Contractors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with failure to include this identifier potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid. The project includes multiple federal compliance requirements, including prevailing wage standards, worker protections, and non-discrimination provisions outlined in HUD-4010 Federal Labor Standards Provisions. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a significant infrastructure investment, with detailed requirements for conductor specifications, pole designs, and LED lighting technologies. Bidders must be prepared to submit comprehensive documentation including W-9 forms, licenses, and insurance documentation within 10 calendar days of being recommended for the contract. The project appears to be fully funded by the City of Pasadena, with a focus on modernizing street lighting infrastructure through LED conversion and associated electrical components.
