Municipal Street Sweeping Services

The City of Westerville Public Service Department is seeking bids for Municipal Street Sweeping Services through a competitive Request for Bids (RFB) process, with Project No. 2025-602 targeting comprehensive street maintenance across the city. The procurement involves a one-year contract from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with potential renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods. Sweeping services will encompass various street types, including even and odd week street sweeping, special event sweeping, island sweeping, parking lot sweeping, and on-call emergency sweeping services. Bidders must provide unit pricing for different sweeping specifications, including detailed rates for street sweeps, parking lot sweeps, and sidewalk cleaning across multiple locations like Uptown District parking lots and City facility parking lots. The non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., with final bids due on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 3:00 PM. Contractors will be required to provide air and mechanical sweepers, utilize an app for progress tracking, properly dispose of collected debris, and submit detailed reporting for NPDES compliance.

The solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City will provide water for sweeping through a bulk water station and will coordinate leaf removal, while contractors must supply their own equipment and technology infrastructure. No performance bonds will be required for this procurement, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, with the contract ultimately awarded to the lowest and best bidder. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the unit pricing structure suggests vendors will need to provide competitive rates across multiple sweeping service categories. The contract appears open to qualified street sweeping service providers with appropriate equipment, technological capabilities for tracking and reporting, and the ability to perform comprehensive municipal street maintenance services. The procurement represents a strategic approach to maintaining city infrastructure through outsourced sweeping services with flexibility for potential multi-year engagement.
