About this file

This is an Equipment, Solvent and Experience Form for Event 4180, a graffiti abatement contract opportunity in Minnesota. The form serves as a qualification and capability submittal requiring bidders to demonstrate possession of or access to specific equipment, solvents, and professional experience. The equipment section requires bidders to confirm regular access to a pressure washer capable of 3,500 PSI at minimum 165 degrees Fahrenheit with at least 3.5 GPM and five nozzle options, a mobile water supply vehicle capable of transporting at least 200 gallons of water, and an additional vehicle for graffiti abatement service delivery. All equipment submissions require documentation of ownership or lease status along with type, make, model, and year specifications.

The solvent submittal section requires bidders to confirm access to three specific products: Elephant Snot for unpainted porous surfaces, Smooth Max for unpainted smooth surfaces, and Shadow Max for graffiti ghosting removal. For each solvent, bidders must either confirm access to the named product or provide equivalent alternatives with documented proof of effectiveness in temperatures ranging from 24 degrees Fahrenheit to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, proven capability to return surfaces to original appearance, and possession of either United States Green Seal certification or Canadian ECOLOGO certification. The experience section requires bidders to demonstrate at least five years of continuous, successful experience in eight specific competencies: graffiti removal from porous and smooth surfaces at grade to 37 feet, shadowing and ghosting removal, color-matching paint, paint-out on previously painted surfaces, work on historical properties, and operation of high-temperature high-pressure equipment and professional-grade solvents.
