FY27 - Car Wash Services

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is soliciting quotes for car wash services for its Montgomery and Mobile vehicle fleets during fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027), with quotes due September 17, 2026.

The scope covers exterior wash services only at two locations: the Montgomery Main Office (1400 Coliseum Boulevard) with 118 vehicles and the Mobile Field Office (1615 South Broad Street, Mobile) with 25 vehicles. Fleet composition includes sedans, SUVs, vans, and pick-up trucks. Free vacuum services are accepted if offered. Mobile service bids will not be considered. Wash frequency varies based on operational need; invoicing is conducted monthly based on actual services rendered rather than a fixed per-vehicle charge.

Bidders must submit a total maximum annual amount with the per-vehicle, per-wash price noted in the bid comments. Monthly invoices will reflect actual washes at the quoted per-wash rate. The solicitation illustrates pricing with an example: 456 annual washes at $6.20 per wash yields a maximum annual bid of $2,900.

The contract carries a not-to-exceed total cost of $25,000 and may be renewed annually by written agreement for a total contract period not exceeding five years from the effective date. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the Public Solicitation site. All Alabama procurement requirements apply, including Secretary of State registration for foreign corporations, E-Verify enrollment verification, sales tax exemption documentation, and a Disclosure Statement. Price escalations require written approval and cannot exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost or industry-specific price index increases. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and reserves the right to analyze pricing for cost realism and reasonableness. All payments must be made electronically. The contract is governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery.
