During the site visit, there were no readily visible problems with the wall tile, or floor tile. Please clarify the types of problems that require repairs. Grout joints are notoriously hard to clean since they are porous and readily absorb dust, dirt, and cleaning chemicals. Please clarify what type of cleaning you are expecting.

Yes, wall and floor tile. Repair and clean tile and grout. Seal any tile cracks to make them safe and to aid in prevention of any further cracking. Unless the tiles are completely missing or damaged beyond repair, no need to replace. If replacement is necessary, acquire Park approval on type and coloring of tile and grout before replacement. Intent is to have the tile and grout to be cleaned to remove years of grime that daily mopping cannot accomplish.
