Cleaning of Fixtures at the UW Center.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has issued a Request for Bid (D18-022-M) for comprehensive cleaning services at the Klotsche Recreation Center, located at 3409 N. Downer Avenue. The procurement requires a contractor to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment to perform specialized cleaning of metal ducting, basketball hoop frameworks, fan blades, and three large divider curtains. The primary objectives include removing dirt, dust, and mold while ensuring compliance with EPA, OSHA, and DNR regulations. Bidders must submit pricing and indicate the expected number of days to complete the work, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible responsive bidder. The bid was released on November 13, 2017, with a firm submission deadline of November 22, 2017, at 2:00 PM CST. Potential bidders can schedule site inspections by contacting Health Powell at (414) 229-5209. The successful contractor must be prepared to correct any insufficiently cleaned areas within 48 hours at no additional cost.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation as required by Wisconsin Statutes, commercial liability of at least one million dollars per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and motor vehicle insurance of at least one million dollars per occurrence. The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System must be named as an additional insured on all insurance policies. Contractors must submit Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and understand that UWM will not sign vendor-supplied agreements, instead using agency purchase orders and the bid document as the sole contract. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the document notes that this form applies only to purchases with total costs less than $50,000. Bidders are instructed to submit responses via email to lumsden@uwm.edu with "Bid D18-022-M" in the subject line, with any questions to be submitted to the same email address using "Question Bid" in the subject line.
