Heavy Duty Cleaner & Degreaser

The City of Santa Monica's Public Works Department is seeking a vendor to supply heavy duty cleaner and degreaser for use on cement at the Promenade Maintenance facility located at 1444 7th Street, Santa Monica, California. The procurement is for a concentrated, non-hazardous cleaning solution with an anticipated monthly usage of approximately 1,100 gallons (20 55-gallon drums). Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience in supplying environmentally friendly all-purpose cleaner and degreaser, and possess certifications from Safer Choice program, Green Seal, UL Ecologo, or equivalent. The bid submission deadline is February 6, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, with questions due by January 16, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Evaluation criteria include pricing, availability, experience, and references, with the award going to the best bidder rather than necessarily the lowest monetary bidder. Vendors must provide a Safety Data Sheet, prove capability to deliver a minimum of ten 55-gallon drums within 48 hours, and submit proof of qualifications, certifications, and laboratory analysis.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract will include four additional one-year renewal periods at the same price, terms, and conditions, with potential annual increases not exceeding the Consumer Price Index percentage. Payment will be made within 30 days of delivery and receipt of invoice. Pricing must be submitted through the City's Online Vendor Portal, with unit costs and delivery charges stated separately on an F.O.B. destination basis to Santa Monica, California. Prices will remain firm for 180 days from the bid opening date. While no specific budget range is provided, the anticipated monthly usage of 1,100 gallons suggests a consistent and ongoing procurement need for the Promenade Maintenance facility.
