Required cleaning services include HEPA vacuuming, removing dirt and debris from exposed ductwork, walls, and ceilings, damp wiping wire conduits, sponge cleaning walls, and sweeping floors, with mandatory equipment and material protection using poly-sheeting. The bid will be received until 2:00 p.m. on July 22, 2025, with bid opening immediately following at 2:01 p.m., and a voluntary pre-bid site walkthrough scheduled for July 1, 2025, from 9 a.m. to Noon. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the contract term spanning from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, and potential two optional one-year renewal periods through August 31, 2028.

Bidders must comply with specific requirements, including adherence to New York State prevailing wage regulations (PRC #2025900626) and maintenance of workers' compensation and comprehensive general liability insurance with specified coverage limits.

The cleaning will be executed across multiple specialized shop environments, requiring detailed labor and supply pricing for each individual space. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the cleaning requirements and the extensive square footage suggest a substantial contract value. CiTi reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, indicating flexibility in the procurement process and potential for negotiation with prospective cleaning service providers.
