The City of Pomona is soliciting bids for a three-year contract to provide annual sandblasting and powder coating services exclusively at the vendor’s facility, with all materials transported to and from the vendor by City personnel.

The scope includes blasting and powder coating wrought iron panels and gates measuring between 8 feet tall by 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall by 20 feet wide, as well as miscellaneous fabricated products such as square tubing, pipe racks, flat stock, and corrugated steel, with an estimated quantity of 200 units for the primary item. All work must comply with the City’s specifications and code, and vendors must hold all necessary licenses and certifications. The City retains the right to inspect and accept completed work at its designated delivery location, with payment occurring only upon successful delivery, acceptance, and receipt of a properly formatted invoice.

Awards will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder under LPTA principles, evaluating quality, capacity, financial stability, past performance, and technical capability without numerical weighting. Strict conflict-of-interest rules prohibit vendors with current or recent City employees or relatives of City officials from bidding unless a City Council waiver is obtained, and any violation of ethical conduct, including offering gratuities or engaging in bid collusion, will result in immediate disqualification or contract voidance. All packaging must clearly display the City’s purchase order number, and shipments are F.O.B. Destination with freight costs included in the bid price. The City reserves the right to reject any bid, and no estimated contract value is provided since pricing fields remain blank for vendor proposal
