Trash Receptacles

The Los Angeles County Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services - Parks Division is seeking a vendor to provide trash receptacles through an informal selection solicitation. The procurement includes specific equipment such as 6 32-gallon trash receptacles with flare tops, 6 flat top lids, 3 inground and 3 surface mounts, 10 rigid plastic liners, 5 44-gallon industrial strength plastic trash cans, and 5 55-gallon steel drums. The contract opportunity was released on November 9, 2023, with a question submission deadline of November 15, 2023, and a proposal submission deadline of November 20, 2023. Award will be based on the lowest total price, with pricing including a 10.25% sales tax, and the contract term spans from September 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing through the City's eProcurement Portal and be prepared to provide documentation such as a W-9 form and potential business license. Delivery requirements mandate a 4-business-day turnaround to the specified location at 233 W Mountain St, Pasadena, CA 91103.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the documentation includes optional forms related to workforce diversity and equal opportunity employment practices. Vendors will be required to comply with Equal Employment Opportunity provisions and potentially meet living wage ordinance requirements for contracts exceeding $25,000. The procurement is funded by the City of Pasadena and requires vendors to submit a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, with a warning that failure to include this identifier may result in a non-responsive bid. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract appears to be a municipal infrastructure procurement aimed at standardizing waste management equipment across parks and recreational facilities. Vendors must demonstrate technical capabilities through forms like the Relevant Experience Form, which allows bidders to detail previous project experiences and qualifications in supplying similar municipal equipment.
