About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Ocala has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ# PWD/260316) for exterior cleaning services for the Henry Street Water Tower, a 500,000-gallon elevated steel water tank located at 841 NE 8th Avenue in Ocala, Florida. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to perform comprehensive low-pressure washing of the entire water tower structure, including its sphere, riser, supports, and foundation, using biodegradable, environmentally friendly cleaning solutions with mold and mildew inhibitors to remove algae, grime, and bird droppings. Vendors must have a minimum of 10 years' experience cleaning elevated steel tanks of similar size and are required to provide all materials, labor, supervision, tools, and equipment necessary to complete the project. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST at the project site, with the contract requiring work to commence within 15 days of finalization and be completed within 120 days of the Notice to Proceed. The solicitation specifies that award will be made to the lowest qualified bidder, with the vendor required to perform a minimum of 80 percent of work using their own forces and provide a dedicated Project Manager as the primary point of contact.

The contract does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must carry specific insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Commercial Automotive Liability ($1,000,000 combined limit), Workers' Compensation, Garage Keepers insurance, and Pollution Liability coverage for three years post-completion. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement documents indicate this is a lump sum contract that must include all direct and indirect costs to complete the project. The City will provide water at no cost and requires vendors to deposit a refundable fee for a water meter installation. Cleaning must be performed only on days with wind speeds of 15 mph or less, and all cleaning products must be environmentally safe and fully biodegradable, with no bleach permitted. The preferred staging area is within the fenced area at the water tower site, and lane closures are strongly discouraged.
