Exterior Window cleaning

The Ohio Department of Veteran Services, specifically the Ohio Veterans Home Georgetown (OVH-G), is seeking a contractor to perform exterior window cleaning services at 2003 Veterans Blvd, Georgetown, OH 45121. The procurement involves comprehensive window cleaning that includes scraping glass and washing all exterior windows, with work expected to meet or exceed industry standards. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 23, 2025, at 10:00am, and attendance is critical, as failure to attend will render a supplier's proposal non-responsive and ineligible for award. The contract term will begin on the signing date and extend until June 30, 2026, or until work completion. Contractors must use a "Purified Water System" and follow specific cleaning protocols, comply with ADA and OSHA regulations, and submit detailed proposals through OhioBuys. The evaluation will consider factors such as experience, qualifications, cost, and technical compatibility, with the intent to award to the lowest responsive bidder.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference designations, with opportunities for Domestic Source (Buy American), Ohio Preference (Buy Ohio), Veterans Preference (Buy Veteran), and E.D.G.E. (Encouraging Diversity, Growth, and Equity) business designations. Contractors must provide a drug-free workplace policy, complete criminal background checks for employees, and submit an Affirmative Action Plan. The opportunity requires a Certificate of Liability Insurance and compliance with Ohio state contract terms. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract includes provisions for detailed invoicing with breakdowns of labor hours, hourly rates, and material costs. Contractors must also disclose service locations and comply with restrictions on offshore services, with the state retaining the right to terminate the contract if services are performed outside the United States without formal authorization.
