The California Employment Development Department (EDD) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 112103 for weekly industrial printer towel cleaning services at their facility located at 1733 Sports Drive in Sacramento, CA. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive towel management services, which include weekly pickup of soiled towels and delivery of clean printer towels, maintaining a minimum inventory of 150 towels. The required towels must be approximately 14" x 14", hemmed, made of durable and absorbent cotton or cotton blend material, and laundered according to EPA guidelines. The contract will span from April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2028, with bids due by January 7, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. PT. Interested bidders can arrange a site inspection by contacting Rick Linares at (916) 928-5935. The contractor must provide all necessary labor, materials, and proper containers for soiled printer towels, adhering to EPA guidelines and industry standards, with pricing remaining fixed throughout the contract duration.

The IFB includes specific provisions for small businesses and disabled veteran-owned enterprises, with Small Business/Microbusiness (SB/MB) and Small Business/Nonprofit Veteran Service Agency (SB/NVSA) preferences of 5% available for certified firms. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Participation and Incentive requirements are waived for this solicitation. The successful contractor must maintain general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage, and automobile liability insurance if applicable. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract's four-year term suggests a potentially significant ongoing service requirement. The EDD reserves the right to reject any or all bids, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. The jurisdictions involved in this procurement include Sacramento County, Sacramento City, San Diego City, and West Sacramento City, though the service is specifically for the EDD facility in Sacramento.
