1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Brief Overview of the Project

The Community Relations Division is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants

to refurbish the Harbor Department’s trailer-based “TransPORTer” traveling educational

exhibit. The proposed project would upgrade the power generation systems and key trailer

infrastructure replacement, along with the fabrication and installation of all modules with

the TransPORTer.

The duration of the contract awarded as a result of this RFP is expected to be six

months from the date of execution of the contract.

1.2 The Port of Los Angeles

The Port of Los Angeles is America’s Port®, the nation’s premier gateway for

international commerce and the busiest seaport in the Western Hemisphere. Located in

San Pedro Bay, 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the Port encompasses 7,500

acres of land and water along 43 miles of waterfront.

The Port features both passenger and cargo terminals, including cruise, container,

automobile, breakbulk, dry and liquid bulk, and warehouse facilities that manage billions of

dollars’ worth of cargo each year. One of the world’s busiest seaports and leading gateway

for international trade in North America, the Port of Los Angeles has ranked as the number

one container port in the United States each year since 2000. In 2023, the Port handled a

total of 8.6 million container units.

The Port of Los Angeles is a department of the City of Los Angeles (also known as

the Los Angeles Harbor Department) and is governed by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor

Commissioners, a panel appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. Although the Port is a

City department, it is not supported by City taxes. Operating as a landlord port with more

than 200 leaseholders, the Port instead generates its revenues from leasing and shipping

service fees. The Port’s jurisdiction is limited to the Harbor District, which includes property

in San Pedro, Wilmington, and Terminal Island.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Scope of Work

The Harbor Department owns a fifty three-foot traveling trailer called the

“TransPORTer.” The trailer is pulled by a Class 8 heavy duty truck and is used to promote

the Port of Los Angeles at events across Southern California. The TransPORTer has been

shuttered since 2020 (due to COVID-19 and staffing shortages) and now needs to be

refurbished with fresh, museum-quality content (new interactive exhibits, digital elements,

and other features TBD) and modifications to allow for multipurpose uses. More facts
