About this file
This is Addendum 1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the North Carolina Department of Administration, Facility Management Division for Window Cleaning Services. The addendum, dated October 1, 2026, modifies the original solicitation (IFB #13-DOA2334873213) prior to the bid opening scheduled for October 9, 2026 at 2:00 pm. The solicitation is structured as an agency-specific contract on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum or maximum service quantities, with orders to be placed at the awarded vendor's proposed rates when services are required. No site visit is scheduled as the contract covers all DOA-FMD managed buildings, which vary in size. The purchasing agent is Sandra Bryant from the Department of Administration.
The addendum makes three critical modifications to the original solicitation requirements. Most significantly, the addendum eliminates the mandatory BASP (Building Access Safety Professional) Certification and CWC (Certified Window Cleaner) certification requirements that were originally specified in Sections 4.2 and 4.8 of the IFB. This change resulted from vendor inquiries noting that BASP had been dissolved and the CWC certification is not currently available. The addendum clarifies that while subcontractors may be proposed to assist with the work, the prime vendor remains solely and fully liable and responsible for all work performed and must ensure compliance with all contract requirements. Regarding subcontracting, any proposed subcontractors' names, qualifications, and experience must be submitted with the bid, and no portion of work may be subcontracted without prior written consent of the State. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum by checking one of the provided options and returning an authorized, signed copy prior to the October 9, 2026 bid opening deadline.

Question # Document Section
Vendor Question State’s Response
1. 4.2, 4.4, 4.8, and 4.9 of
Regarding Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.8, and 4.9 of
IFB #13-DOA2334873213:
If W&S Homes LLC, as the prime Vendor, proposes a qualified window-cleaning subcontractor, may the prime satisfy the BASP, CWC, FAA Part 107, similar-scope reference, and Aviation/UAS insurance requirements through the proposed subcontractor?
Or must the prime Vendor itself hold these certifications, references, and insurance?
Please clarify which requirements must be held directly by the prime Vendor versus an approved subcontractor.
1- The BASP and CWC certifications are no longer required. Regarding subcontractor qualifications, as per section 4.9, No portion of the work shall be subcontracted without prior written consent of the State. In the event that the Vendor desires to subcontract some part of the work specified herein, the Vendor shall furnish with their bid the names, qualifications, and experience of their proposed subcontractors. The Vendor shall, however, remain solely and fully liable and responsible for the work done by its subcontractor(s) and shall assure compliance with all the requirements and specifications of the contract.
2. 2.4 IFB
Schedule
Is there a site visit for the window cleaning?
Can a contractor still visit the exterior of the building? Please confirm the address for me please.
There is no site visit as the contract includes all DOA-FMD managed buildings, which vary in size.
3. 2.8 Bid Contents
4.2 Requirements
We spoke with the IWCA and they informed us "BASP had been dissolved. The education and safety committee is currently working on what may take its place." Why would there be a requirement to have a BASP certification if this is something companies that don't have, can't get? We also spoke to them about a CWC Certified Window Cleaner certification and they don't offer that specifically either. Would there be an alternative certification that is current that companies can obtain that could replace this dissolved certification for the requirement?
The BASP Certification and the Certified Window Washer certification are no longer required.
