Traffic Signs and Materials FY2025

The City of Pasadena's Department of Transportation is soliciting competitive bids for a Traffic Signs and Materials contract for Fiscal Year 2025, seeking to procure a comprehensive range of traffic signage and related materials. The procurement encompasses 28 different sign types, including traffic signs, vertical traffic delineators, reflective sign post panels, and in-street pedestrian crosswalk signs. All signs must be constructed of 0.063" thick aluminum or thicker, meeting specific California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) code requirements. The bid is scheduled for release on July 25, 2024, with bid submissions due by 3:00 pm on August 12, 2024. The contract will span one year from the date of execution, with the city anticipating approximately 8 sign orders throughout the fiscal year. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest Grand Total Price, with a 10.25% sales tax applied, and all pricing must be submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal. Bidders must deliver all signs to the City Yards located at 233 W Mountain St, Pasadena, CA 91103.

The procurement includes several set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly emphasizing local, state, and federal guidelines for workforce and contracting opportunities. Notably, the bid package includes HUD Section 3 compliance forms, which mandate that 25% of total labor hours be worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers, with specific income eligibility criteria for Los Angeles County. Vendors must provide a Unique Entity Identifier (SAM.gov) and complete various certification forms, including Non-Collusion Declarations and Workforce Utilization Reports. The city has established local preference provisions and requires compliance with the Living Wage Ordinance for contracts exceeding $25,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant municipal investment in traffic infrastructure and safety materials. Additional compliance requirements include adherence to federal labor standards, equal employment opportunity guidelines, and potential integration with existing city transportation infrastructure.
