On Call Street Sweeper Service 26-27

The City of Scotts Valley, California, is requesting qualifications from firms to provide on-call municipal street sweeping services for public roadways, bicycle lanes, parking lots, and other City-owned paved surfaces, with qualifications due September 11, 2026, and a question deadline of July 20, 2026.

The contract term is three years beginning July 1, 2026, with an optional two-year extension. The scope includes scheduled sweeping according to established routes, on-call and emergency services following storms and special events, debris removal and disposal, equipment maintenance, and compliance with stormwater pollution prevention requirements. The City emphasizes experience in hilly terrain, heavily wooded areas, and communities with significant seasonal leaf fall similar to the Santa Cruz Mountains environment. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, vehicles, fuel, water, materials, and traffic control necessary to perform services safely and in compliance with environmental regulations. A Street Sweep Map identifying specific service areas and routes is attached.

No fixed contract price is specified; the City will negotiate fair and reasonable compensation with the selected firm based on the scope and fee proposals. The City Council must approve the contract award before execution.

Evaluation criteria are weighted equally at 20 percent each across five categories: responsiveness and completeness, qualifications and previous performance with similar municipalities, approach and responsiveness capability, references, and contract fee. The City reserves the right to terminate the contract with 15 days' written notice and will pay only for services performed and accepted through the termination date. Responses to questions submitted by July 20, 2026, will be provided by July 27, 2026. Qualifications submissions are due electronically through the City's OpenGov Procurement portal by 12:00 a.m. on September 11, 2026.
