Water Filters, Bottle Filler Dispensers, and Related Materials and Supplies

The City of Pasadena is issuing a solicitation for vendors to supply water filters, bottle refill dispensers, and related materials to enhance the sustainability of city facilities by providing access to clean, filtered drinking water while reducing reliance on single-use plastics. The contract, with an estimated value ranging from 500,000 to 2 million dollars, aims to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products that meet environmental standards set by state and local regulations. The procurement process emphasizes compliance with various legal and regulatory requirements, including equal opportunity employment, licensing, and workforce utilization, as evidenced by the required vendor declaration forms and questionnaires. These forms, which must be submitted along with bids, certify that the vendor adheres to non-collusion policies, holds necessary licenses, and commits to workforce reporting, thereby supporting transparency and fair competition. The contract is managed by the Pasadena Public Works Department under the California organization, with a primary point of contact being Brian O'Connor. The response deadline for submissions is July 7, 2025, and vendors are expected to deliver products within 90 days of contract award, with payment terms set at 30 days. The procurement portal provides further details and access to related documents, ensuring vendors understand the scope, compliance obligations, and submission requirements. Overall, this initiative reflects Pasadena’s commitment to sustainable practices and responsible procurement, fostering partnerships with qualified vendors capable of meeting the city's environmental and operational standards.
