Professional Cleaning Services for Park Facilities/Restrooms

The City of Owensboro, Kentucky is soliciting bids for professional cleaning services for six park facilities and restroom locations within Daviess County. The Request for Bid (RFB 4448) covers comprehensive cleaning services for Dugan Best, Fisher Park Softball Complex, English Park, Chautauqua Park, Kendall-Perkins Park, and Centre Court. Vendors must provide all necessary supervision, labor, equipment, and materials for cleaning services, with the city supplying disposable washroom supplies. Qualified bidders must have a minimum of two years of experience in cleaning services and submit detailed references, employee lists, and comply with specific insurance, safety, and licensing requirements. The initial contract term runs from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with potential renewal options for four additional one-year periods. The bid is scheduled to open on November 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM CDT, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting planned for November 4, 2025, via Microsoft Teams. Pricing should be quoted monthly for most locations, with English Park priced on a per-cleaning basis, and vendors must also provide a call-back pay rate for additional or emergency services.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete several mandatory compliance documents, including a Statement Pursuant to KRS45A.395 certifying no violation of campaign finance laws and a Vendor's Statement Pursuant to KRS45A.343 confirming compliance with state tax, labor, and regulatory requirements. The City reserves the right to conduct inspections, enforce specific cleaning standards (such as completing restroom cleaning by noon daily during certain months), and terminate the contract for non-performance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the bid requires detailed pricing submissions for monthly cleaning services across the six locations. The city will evaluate bids based on factors including experience, references, compliance with specifications, and pricing. Potential bidders must upload all required documentation, including the References Registry Page and Exceptions to Bid Specifications form, to the Bonfire portal as part of their submission.
