Biohazardous Cleanup

The City of Santa Monica Police Department is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive biohazardous cleanup services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) released on February 27, 2025. The procurement targets a vendor capable of performing specialized cleaning and remediation services including blood, pathogen, vomit, and urine removal, decontamination, disinfection, deep cleaning, odor elimination, and property restoration across law enforcement facilities such as vehicles, jail cells, and other related spaces. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of experience serving law enforcement agencies and possess the capability to respond to service locations within 24 hours, with services available 24/7. The RFP requires vendors to submit detailed pricing proposals with unit costs for emergency response, setup charges, travel, biohazardous cleaning, and sealed container disposal. Key evaluation criteria will include price, service quality, vendor capabilities, and references. Critical dates include a question deadline of March 5, 2025, and a bid submission deadline of March 14, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with the contract potentially offering four additional one-year renewal options.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including safety data sheets, business licenses, insurance certificates, and payment bonds for awards exceeding $25,000. The City of Santa Monica will require the selected vendor to name the city as an additional insured and comply with local policies including non-discrimination guidelines and the Oaks Initiative. While specific contract value ranges are not detailed, the documentation suggests the city maintains flexibility in contract award based on comprehensive vendor assessment. The contract will require strict adherence to prevailing wage standards, with services potentially classified under Laborers Group 5 as confirmed through consultation with the Department of Industrial Relations. Successful bidders must demonstrate robust safety protocols, professional service standards, and the ability to integrate seamlessly with law enforcement facility management protocols.
