Pressure/Power Washing Services

Dallas Independent School District (DISD) is seeking pressure and power washing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for district-wide facilities and campuses. The comprehensive solicitation requires vendors to provide all labor, materials, and equipment for washing various surfaces, including building exteriors, porches, patios, and rooftops. Specific technical requirements mandate vendors use hot water pressure washing systems, soft washing systems, and specialized cleaning techniques with pressure levels ranging from less than 300 PSI to 2,400 PSI and water temperatures between 130-160 degrees. Required vendor certifications include Soft Wash System and Wood Cleaning/Restoration Certifications, with vendors expected to use non-bleach, non-detergent cleaning solutions. The contract is structured for an initial three-year term with potential for two successive one-year extensions, not to exceed five years total. Proposals are due by November 6, 2025, with work to be performed after operating hours and coordinated directly with district representatives.

The RFP strongly emphasizes Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation, with an aspirational small business goal of 30% for goods and services contracts. Vendors can receive up to 20 evaluation points for M/WBE participation, considering factors such as commitment to the Small Business Office program, subcontractor references, M/WBE certification, and diversity of subcontractors. The district accepts M/WBE certifications from multiple agencies, including North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency and the State of Texas' Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates district-wide, as-needed service procurement funded through local, state, federal, and grant sources. Vendors must comply with extensive documentation requirements, including completing forms such as the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295), and potential deviation request forms to participate in the competitive procurement process.
