Exterior Window Cleaning Services

Greenville County, South Carolina, is seeking sealed proposals for annual exterior window cleaning services for the North and South Tower Buildings located at Greenville County Square, 301 University Ridge. The Request for Proposals (RFP #26015) solicits a professional contractor to provide comprehensive window cleaning services for two 5-story buildings, with options for annual, biannual, or quarterly service frequencies. The project requires cleaning all vertical and horizontal exterior surfaces, including glass, window sills, frames, and metal panels, with a mandate for environmentally friendly cleaning products compliant with EPA standards. Contractors must demonstrate comprehensive safety measures, including OSHA fall protection compliance, and provide proof of licensing and references. The mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for August 13, 2025, with proposals due by August 27, 2025, at 3:00 pm. Evaluation will be based on six equally weighted criteria: responsiveness to RFP, experience, project understanding, equipment, references, and cost. The County intends to enter a one-year contract with potential for four annual renewals and reserves the right to award to multiple vendors.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The pricing proposal includes two primary pricing structures: a hybrid option with regular hours and breezeway/terrace after-hours, and a full after-hours option, with vendors required to submit pricing for each frequency option and include a separate line item for roof overhang cleaning. While no incumbent vendors are directly identified, the documents include post-installation testing verification forms from Professional Building Maintenance Services (PBMS) for fall protection anchors, suggesting potential prior maintenance relationships. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Comprehensive General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), and Statutory Worker's Compensation. Contractors must also comply with the Illegal Immigration Reform Act and conflict of interest regulations. Although specific award values are not explicitly stated, the Sample Services Agreement indicates the County will pay a total sum not to exceed a to-be-determined amount, suggesting flexibility in contract pricing based on selected service frequency and vendor proposals.
