The scope of work includes pressure washing multiple surface types, including coated metal roofs, vertical surfaces at various heights (up to 20, 20-40, and over 40 feet), sidewalks, driveways, and corrugated aluminum walkways. Contractors must remove mildew, algae, dirt, rust, stains, efflorescence, and debris to improve facility aesthetics, with a requirement to complete all work within 30 days of each purchase order issuance. Bidders must demonstrate five years of continuous business operation, provide documented evidence of five comparable pressure cleaning projects in industrial, commercial, and educational facilities, and maintain an office within a 50-mile radius of Pinellas County. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 19, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., and electronic bids are due through the OpenGov Procurement portal by 2:00 p.m. on February 4, 2026, with bid evaluations occurring between February 6-10, 2026.

The contract includes specific requirements for contractor qualifications, including mandatory Level 2 background clearance for all employees and subcontractors, E-Verify compliance, and comprehensive insurance specifications. Contractors must provide General Liability Insurance with limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on project size, Automotive Liability Insurance, and Workers' Compensation Insurance. The contract period runs from March 22, 2026, through March 21, 2027, with potential renewals for two additional one-year periods and unilateral extension options. The district estimates an annual contract value of approximately $75,000, with pricing structured as unit costs for six pressure cleaning service categories, plus cost-plus markups for specialty materials (maximum 10 percent) and rental equipment (maximum 5 percent). Price escalation is permitted at renewal periods, not exceeding the previous year's Consumer Price Index. The Pinellas County School District reserves the right to award by line item, section, or aggregate total and maintains non-exclusive agreement rights to use other contractors.
