22nd Street South Corridor Litter Collection and Sweeping Services Initiative

The City of St. Petersburg is requesting proposals for litter collection, trash removal, and corridor sweeping services along the 22nd Street South corridor from Central Avenue to 18th Avenue South, with responses due August 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov Procurement portal. Questions are due July 1, 2026.

Services must be provided twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays unless otherwise approved by the City, with a minimum requirement of once-weekly service. The scope includes collection and removal of litter and debris, sweeping and cleaning of sidewalks, curb lines, medians, and other accessible public areas, and proper disposal of all collected materials in compliance with applicable regulations. Particular emphasis is placed on high-traffic areas at 9th Avenue South and 22nd Avenue South.

Vendors must be registered with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations and comply with Florida Statute 448.095 regarding E-Verify system usage. Preferred qualifications include a minimum of one year of experience in litter collection, trash removal, corridor sweeping, grounds maintenance, or similar environmental cleanup services. Vendors must obtain minimum insurance requirements and provide certificates of insurance, submit references from at least three customers for whom they have performed similar services, and designate a dedicated account manager for service administration.

The initial contract term is three months or until services are complete, not to exceed one year. Cost proposals must include a unit cost and total cost for the three-month service period covering all labor, materials, tools, vehicles, and equipment necessary to perform the required services. The City reserves the right to award the contract to the vendor deemed most qualified based on evaluation criteria and may reject any or all responses. All submittals are subject to Florida public records laws after 30 days from opening or earlier if an intended decision is reached.
