Graffiti Removal Services

The City of Everett, Washington is requesting quotes under RFQ 2026-064 for on-call graffiti removal services on residential private properties enrolled in its Graffiti Removal Program, with responses due December 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and questions due November 23, 2026.

Scope covers removing painted, sprayed, chalked, and affixed graffiti from porous and non-porous surfaces, including wood, masonry, concrete, brick, glass, metal, and stucco. The contractor must complete removal within 48 hours of City notification, or within 24 hours for graffiti containing racist, derogatory, or inciting language. Work occurs at properties throughout Everett Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., unless the City directs otherwise. The contractor furnishes all personnel, tools, equipment, and supplies, and must hold a City of Everett Business License and comply with RCW 39.12 prevailing wage requirements for covered wage classifications.

The estimated annual contract value is $50,000. Pricing has two components: an hourly rate for standard removal and a lump-sum cost per call-out for mobilization. Billing starts on contractor arrival and ends at work completion, with the City paying only for actual hours accrued. The City reimburses paint at cost without markup and reimburses consumables, including brushes, rollers, pans, and tarps, with supporting documentation. The contract term is three years with two one-year extensions. The anticipated award and start date is December 2026.

Responses must include completed Forms 1 (Submittal Certification), 2 (Bid Price), and 3 (Wage Compliance Certification), submitted to bids@everettwa.gov or hand-delivered to the City Procurement Office. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and is not obligated to contract with any bidder.
