About this file
This is Addendum No. 2 to RFP No. 00002697 issued by the City of Portland, Oregon's Office of Management & Finance for Sidewalk Cleaning Services. The addendum modifies the scope of work and establishes operational parameters for the contracted services. Work will be conducted between 6:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and will primarily occur east of 82nd Avenue, encompassing trash and debris cleanup, bio-hazard cleanup (including needles and bodily fluids), pressure washing of public sidewalks, graffiti removal up to 8 feet high, and large item pickup such as shopping carts or mattresses. The contractor will receive locations and cleaning schedules from the City Project Manager and is not expected to engage with tents, homeless people, or move semi-permanent structures. Contractors must submit weekly written status reports by the first day of the week detailing completed activities, delayed items, causes of delays, schedule impacts, and proposed resolutions. The proposal deadline is February 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. PST, and questions must be submitted seven calendar days prior to this deadline.
Workers performing this contract must possess bio-hazard handling and disposal training and will be provided with appropriate safety equipment. Graffiti removal techniques must first attempt pressure washing or solvents, with painting over graffiti using City-supplied or approved paint as a secondary measure. Contractors must document graffiti removal activities with before and after photographs and submit weekly logs and reports. The addendum specifically clarifies that contractors are not responsible for collecting significant refuse beyond minor items impeding power washing operations and notes that no penalty applies if pressure washing spray incidentally contacts building sides. Additional modifications to the Phase I Evaluation Criteria, RFP Question Deadline, and Proposal Response Packet are referenced but detailed within this addendum.
