City seeks contractor to build emergency warming center
– The City of Paso Robles yesterday issued a request for proposals (RFP), from general contractors to build an emergency warming center. It will be a pre-fabricated engineered metal building.
The emergency warming center will provide showers, laundry, and dinner meals year-round and emergency beds during inclement weather between Nov. 1 and March 31. Additionally, the site will provide comprehensive case management and community resources supporting residents’ efforts to regain housing.
The city received a State of California Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) grant through San Luis Obispo County to construct a 36-bed Emergency Warming Center on City-owned property adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 3200 Sulphur Springs Road.
The city is seeking proposals from firms to manufacture and deliver a pre-fabricated engineered metal building that will be assembled and installed by the City and its contractors to be used for the Emergency Warming Center. The pre-fabricated engineered metal building must meet the requirements and specifications set forth in the RFP.
Proposals must be received by mail, recognized carrier or hand-delivered, not later than 5 p.m. on Friday, December 6, 2019, at City Hall, 1000 Spring Street, Paso Robles.
