North Carolina State University's Procurement Services Department issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) #63-KGS1166518 seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive mechanical sweeping and debris removal services for twelve multi-level parking decks managed by NC State Transportation located in Wake County and Teachey Town. The scope of work encompasses full mechanical sweeping of drive lanes, parking stalls, ramps, and rooftop levels; systematic removal of dirt, sand, trash, leaves, organic debris, and accumulated sediment; detail cleaning through hand-blowing or vacuuming of corners and expansion joints; drainage maintenance of surface debris from drain inlets; and proper off-site disposal of all collected materials. Services must be performed three times per fiscal year during scheduled periods in early August, late December/early January, and late April/early May, with work conducted during off-peak night hours between 7:00 PM and 4:30 AM and coordinated with NC State Transportation regarding deck closures and traffic control. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of professional experience in mechanical parking deck sweeping services, provide three references from similar clients, and submit a completed BidTable with firm, fixed pricing per sweep for each facility that includes all labor, supervision, mobilization, specialized equipment, fuel, manual detailing, off-site debris disposal, insurance compliance, and background checks. Required insurance includes Workers Compensation with minimum employer's liability of $500,000, Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Automobile Liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit. Bids must be submitted electronically through Bonfire by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 22, 2026, with award determination based on the lowest-cost responsive bid meeting all mandatory specifications and experience requirements. The contract term is one year commencing July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, with options for up to four additional one-year extensions for a maximum contract period of five years, and the University will conduct inspections within 24 hours of work completion with any deficiencies corrected within 48 hours at no additional cost.

The Invitation for Bid does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement opportunity. All employees and subcontractors must undergo comprehensive background checks including nationwide federal criminal searches, national sex offender registry searches, and state-specific criminal searches, and contractors must provide ACORD Certificates of Insurance naming NC State University Procurement Services as certificate holder. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation, and contractors must comply with the University's existing parking infrastructure managed by NC State Transportation, with all equipment limited to a maximum height of 6'5" due to clearance restrictions at the University Towers Deck. The contract documents do not specify a precise award value or budget range; however, the pricing structure requires bidders to submit firm, fixed costs per sweep for each parking facility, allowing the University to evaluate total contract costs based on the established service frequency schedule across the twelve parking decks over the initial one-year term.
