Transfer Station Misting System Replacement & Relocation

The City of Culver City is seeking a contractor to replace and relocate its existing dust and odor control misting system at the Culver City Transfer Station, located in California, 90232. This solicitation, numbered 20260729059, is a turnkey project requiring the complete removal and disposal of the current system, followed by the design, installation, commissioning, and training for a new industrial-grade high-pressure misting system with chemical injection capabilities. The system must be engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of a transfer station environment, featuring rodent-resistant enclosures, sealed penetrations, corrosion-resistant materials, and conduit-protected wiring to ensure durability and operational integrity. All work must comply with Cal/OSHA, prevailing wage laws, environmental regulations, and manufacturer specifications, with final acceptance occurring on-site only after successful testing, correction of deficiencies, and submission of as-built documentation, operational manuals, and Safety Data Sheets. The bid response deadline is August 20, 2026, with an estimated start date of October 1, 2026, though the overall duration is to be proposed by the offeror. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a best-value trade-off approach, not lowest price, with weightings distributed across project approach (25 points), qualifications and experience (20), technical approach and equipment (20), cost effectiveness (20), team experience (10), and schedule (5). Contractors must demonstrate relevant municipal experience, submit detailed resumes of key personnel, and comply with non-discrimination, anti-lobbying, and organizational conflict of interest provisions, including a prohibition on hiring former City employees or paying commissions tied to award. Special requirements include providing proof of insurance, obtaining a business tax certificate, adhering to I-9 verification for all employees, and paying applicable prevailing wages. While no federal clause or SAM registration is required, submissions must include signed documents, proprietary information clearly marked, and a comprehensive proposal organized into a cover page, table of contents, executive summary, and detailed responses to the scope of work. There are no specified packaging, marking, or FOB terms, but vendors bear full responsibility for delivery, installation, and training at the site. The City retains authority to modify the scope prior to award and may purchase extended warranties, with no formal options for renewal outlined.
