Site work for a municipal facility in Pasadena, California. Working plans call for site work for a municipal facility.

**As of July 11, 2024 there has been no award for this project. As of this time it is unknown if and when project will rebid. Summary Pasadena Transit is seeking a qualified vendor to install and maintain a temporary hydrogen fueling station at 2791 Eaton Canyon Dr., Pasadena CA 91107 to fuel Pasadena Transit fuel cell electric buses ("FCEBs") while the permanent hydrogen station is being constructed and commissioned, as described in this Request for Bids. Please note that the site location for the temporary station has not been finalized and due to the difference in site conditions and level of effort for civil work, the City of Pasadena has decided to release two request for bids requesting a mobile fueling station with the same requirements, but with different site addresses. Interested bidders are requested to propose on both request for bids with the site address 159 S. Kinneloa Ave and 2791 Eaton Canyon Dr. Once a final site location has been identified, one request for bid will be awarded.
