25-135 - Graffiti Removal Services at the Compton DMV Field Office

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25-135 for graffiti removal services at the Compton DMV Field Office, located in Los Angeles County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide as-needed graffiti removal services over a thirty-six month contract term, with an estimated 78 service calls anticipated during the contract period. Key deliverables include comprehensive graffiti removal across multiple surfaces including signs, walls, parking lots, and both exterior and interior areas, with the goal of restoring surfaces to a like-new condition. Bidders must possess a valid C-33 contractor license and comply with prevailing wage requirements if the total bid exceeds $1,000. The bid is being advertised through the California State Contracts Register via Cal eProcure, with bids due by 11:59 pm on July 16, 2025, and a proposed contract start date of August 1, 2025, or upon contract approval. Potential bidders must submit various attachments including a Bidder Declaration, cost sheet, and proof of public works contractor registration with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) if the total bid exceeds $25,000.

The DMV has waived the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement for this solicitation, though they will still apply a bid incentive with percentages ranging from 3-5% based on DVBE commitment level. The current contractor for these services is Graffiti Protective Coating, Inc., who has been paid $20,480.00 for the previous three-year term. The estimated budget for the upcoming contract is $14,664.00 for the three-year term, which represents a potential reduction in contract value from the previous period. No specific restrictions were noted regarding the types of organizations that can respond to the solicitation, beyond the standard licensing and registration requirements. Bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their capability to perform the required graffiti removal services efficiently and effectively across various surfaces at the Compton DMV Field Office.
