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 process. The procurement opportunity requires vendors to supply various trash receptacle types, including 32-gallon metal receptacles with flare tops, flat top lids, rigid plastic liners, inground and surface mounts, 44-gallon industrial strength plastic trash cans, and 55-gallon steel drums. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest Grand Total Price, with pricing valid from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Vendors must submit comprehensive bids by August 16, 2024, at 3:00 pm, with a deadline for questions on August 13, 2024. The solicitation requires vendors to provide pricing for all line items to be considered responsive, and delivery must be completed within 3 business days of order placement to 233 W. Mountain St., Pasadena, CA 91103. Evaluation criteria include price, with additional emphasis on vendor experience, demonstrated through a Relevant Experience Form detailing five previous similar projects.

The procurement appears to have several accessibility and compliance requirements for potential vendors. Respondents must complete multiple forms, including a Vendor Questionnaire (Form AA-1), Project Workforce Utilization (Form AA-2), and a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) form from SAM.gov. The city emphasizes equal employment opportunity and workforce diversity, with optional forms collecting demographic information about potential vendors' workforces. Vendors must comply with the City of Pasadena's Living Wage Ordinance for contracts over $25,000 and potentially meet local business licensing requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive documentation suggests a structured procurement process with multiple evaluation components beyond just pricing. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with local regulations, provide detailed workforce information, and show technical capability to meet the trash receptacle specifications.
