Purchase of One (1) Hydroseeder with Transport Trailer

The City of Pasadena is soliciting bids for the purchase and delivery of a single new and unused hydroseeder unit with a transport trailer, intended for erosion control, turf establishment, slope stabilization, and landscape restoration across city facilities. The equipment must meet minimum technical specifications, including a 500-gallon tank capacity, ability to apply seed, fertilizer, mulch, soil stabilizers, and tackifiers, and must be the latest model or current production version. The selected vendor is responsible for all aspects of the contract including delivery, setup, training, and compliance with local ordinances, with work to be completed within five business days of award and performed at the City Yards (Parks) located at 323 W. Mountain Street, Pasadena, CA 91103. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and includes a warranty of at least one year. Pricing is evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning award will be made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder without trade-offs for technical merit beyond minimum compliance. All bidders must provide a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov, submit IRS Form W-9, and complete Form AA-1 for Equal Employment Opportunity compliance. Additional mandatory certifications include a Declaration of Non-Collusion, proof of insurance, and written certification that any paper products supplied contain at least 30% recycled content in accordance with SB 1383. Contractors must adhere to the Pasadena Living Wage Ordinance and Minimum Wage Ordinance, submitting certified payroll records, and comply with the Levine Act by disclosing any political contributions over $250 received from the contractor in the 12 months before or after award. The City requires full acceptance of unlimited liability, local hiring preference for new positions, and mandatory business licensing under Title 5 of the Pasadena Municipal Code. Price adjustments after Year 1 are capped at the Consumer Price Index rate from the preceding 12 months. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by May 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with no physical submissions accepted. No specific packaging, marking, or shipping standards are required beyond delivery of fully assembled, operational equipment.
