How to bid on on-call parking consulting for the City of Pasadena

City of Pasadena Pasadena, CACloses December 2, 2026

What Pasadena is buying

The City of Pasadena Department of Transportation is seeking consulting firms for an on-call bench supporting its parking facilities and programs. The portfolio includes garages, surface lots, meters, parking enforcement, and permit programs.

Work may include infrastructure evaluations, operational studies, technology modernization, strategic planning, and related activities. The City will assign work through project-specific task orders as needed; joining the bench does not guarantee assignments.

Deadline and what happens next

Proposals are due December 2, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET. Submit your response through OpenGov before the deadline.

The selected consultants will form an on-call bench. Each task order will define the scope, deliverables, schedule, and coordination needs for that assignment.

Who this opportunity suits

This RFP suits consulting firms with at least three years of relevant experience in parking-related projects. Proposers should show substantial experience in the work areas relevant to their capabilities.

The City encourages firms to focus on their strengths; proposers are not required to team with many sub-consultants to cover every possible project type.

Prepare a focused proposal

Show your relevant experience clearly and connect it to the parking services you can provide. Since the City invites firms to focus on areas of strength, explain the work your team is best equipped to handle rather than stretching to cover every possible service.

Review the RFP and any addenda, track the submission requirements, and allow time to complete the OpenGov submission before the deadline. Make sure your response reflects that future assignments will be defined through separate task orders and are not guaranteed.
