The contractor must provide soft wash services with low-pressure detergent application, hard pressure washing with mechanical action, chemical pre-treatment, and heated hot water power washing tailored to different surfaces and conditions. Qualified contractors must demonstrate substantial experience with commercial or municipal pressure washing services, provide at least three references from similar projects completed within the last three years, maintain comprehensive safety programs with proper technician training and personal protective equipment protocols, implement wastewater containment and disposal practices compliant with environmental regulations, and establish quality assurance processes verified through before and after photographs and detailed service documentation. The RFP was released on March 25, 2026, with a question deadline of April 15, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. CST and a proposal submission deadline of April 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST; proposals may be submitted electronically through the Euna Procurement portal or as sealed paper copies to the City of Temple Purchasing Department. Evaluation will be based on a 100-point scale comprising Experience and Qualifications (30 points), Price and Cost Reasonableness (30 points), Technical Approach and Service Capability (20 points), Safety and Environmental Compliance (15 points), and Quality Assurance and Reporting (5 points), with contract commencement expected in May 2026.

The initial contract term extends through September 30, 2026, with the City reserving the right to extend for four additional one-year renewal periods subject to mutual written agreement and satisfactory performance; all pricing must remain firm throughout the initial contract term. Services are billed on a time-and-materials basis with differentiated hourly rates by cleaning type (soft wash, hard wash, chemical wash, heated wash) and time category (standard hours, after-hours/weekend/overtime, and holidays), plus material costs billed at actual expense plus a contractor-specified markup percentage. Contractors must comply with federal certifications including Davis-Bacon wage requirements if federal funding is utilized, pass drug screening, maintain no felony convictions, and carry comprehensive insurance coverage including $500,000 combined single limit for commercial liability and $500,000 for comprehensive automobile liability with the City named as additional insured. The RFP documents do not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendors, or existing contracts that require integration, nor do they specify a total contract value or budget range, leaving these determinations to be made following evaluation of submitted proposals.
