Columbus Consolidated Government is requesting bids on semi-annual pressure washing services for the Columbus Civic Center roof under RFB No. 23-0026, with a mandatory site visit on December 13, 2022, and bids due December 21, 2022, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time. A local-vendor preference applies: bidders within Columbus, Georgia receive preference if within two percent of the low bid for contracts under $25,000 or one percent for contracts exceeding $25,000.

The scope covers semi-annual cleaning of the ultraply 78+ membrane roof (approximately 80,200 square feet at 400 4th Street, Columbus, Georgia) using low-pressure equipment at 1,000 PSI or less, mild soap or detergent, and soft or medium bristle brushes; acetone may be used for heavily soiled areas. Direct spraying on seams and laps is prohibited. Bidders submit pricing on a flat rate per cleaning basis and specify completion timeframe in days after notice to proceed.

The initial contract term is two years with options to renew for three additional twelve-month periods, contingent on mutual agreement and funding appropriations. Contract pricing remains fixed for the initial two-year term; any price escalation requests after year two are limited to five percent unless documented justification is approved by the using department and Purchasing Manager.

Mandatory qualifications include federal E-Verify compliance with notarized affidavit, comprehensive general liability insurance of at least $1 million, worker's compensation coverage, and umbrella/excess liability of $1 million. Bidders must submit business license, Certificate of Insurance, W-9 form, statement of qualifications with references, and a list of all cleaning agents to be used. Attendance at the mandatory site visit is required to submit a responsive proposal. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids.
