FY27 CDBG Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvement Project

The City of Pasadena is soliciting bids for the FY27 CDBG Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvement Project under solicitation number 2026-IFB-CIV-0288, with responses due by July 21, 2026. This project involves the resurfacing of approximately 360 centerline miles of city roads, including the removal and reconstruction of curb, gutter, sidewalks, and ADA-compliant curb ramps, along with utility adjustments, traffic loop replacements, and installation of raised pavement markers. Work must comply with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 2024 Edition, and Caltrans standards, with strict requirements for asphalt thickness, surface smoothness, placement temperatures, and rolling procedures. The contract requires adherence to California prevailing wage laws and the Pasadena Living Wage Ordinance, and mandates that at least 30 percent of the work be performed by the prime contractor using its own workforce. Subcontractors must comply with federal regulations including 49 CFR Part 26 for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises and 29 CFR 5.5 for labor standards, while also incorporating nondiscrimination and equal employment opportunity provisions. The city grants hiring preference to Pasadena residents and requires contractors to submit detailed subcontractor listings, conflict of interest disclosures, and non-collusion declarations. All bids must be submitted electronically via the City’s OpenGov portal by the deadline, with no hard copies accepted, and require an active Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov. The evaluation will select the lowest and best bidder based on a combination of price and non-cost factors, including quality of materials, past performance with the city, financial stability, and ability to perform promptly, rather than following a strictly lowest-priced technically acceptable model. Work must commence within 15 days of notice to proceed and be completed within a defined number of working days, with all inspections conducted on-site and corrections performed at the contractor’s expense. Payment is subject to approval by the City and must comply with federal funding requirements under the CDBG program, though specific funding codes and remittance details are not disclosed. Contract administration oversight is managed by the Public Works Department, Engineering, with primary contact through Tiffiny Chen and Antonio Watson, and no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is named in the available documentation.
