Turnkey Full-Service Smart Restroom Solutions

The City of Long Beach is issuing an Expression of Interest for a turnkey, full-service smart restroom solution for a four-month pilot program, with responses due February 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. If multiple vendors meet the City's criteria, a formal Request for Proposals may follow for competitive contract award.

The scope encompasses physical infrastructure, full operations, and maintenance across a minimum of four high-demand locations in parks and public spaces. Required capabilities include flexible placement and rapid relocation without connection to water, sewer, or power lines; solar power capability; ADA compliance; access control and anti-vandalism features; running water and flushing toilets; remote locking and unlocking; QR code access; technician alerts; and data collection on usage, satisfaction, accessibility, uptime, vandalism, maintainability, and costs. The City seeks no upfront capital investment and expects deployment within 60 days from project kick-off, with all pilots limited to 12 months or less.

Respondents must provide estimated pilot costs, pricing structures for potential full-contract scaling, staffing plans, municipal experience, workplans with key milestones, and details on required City resources. The City will review responses by February 20, 2025 to determine next steps.

Responses are submitted electronically through the City's Long Beach Buys portal. All costs associated with responding to the EOI are the respondent's sole expense. An organization that previously submitted a proposal through Pitch Long Beach has already expressed interest and is not required to respond to this EOI. This EOI does not constitute a promise to issue a formal solicitation or contract.
