Community Transit, the Snohomish County Public Transportation Benefit Area Corporation, encourages participation by Small Business Enterprises and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. No set-aside or preference program is stated.

The vendor will clean and maintain approximately 617 bus stop locations, including 18 Park & Ride/Transit Center properties, 12 comfort stations (18 restrooms), and 86 Swift Platform Stations throughout Snohomish County. Work must meet Community Transit's service standards and comply with environmental management standards, hazardous materials handling procedures, and its drug, alcohol, and tobacco policies.

Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Comprehensive Auto Liability of $500,000 per occurrence, with Community Transit named as additional insured.

The contract is firm fixed-price for an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals at Community Transit's sole discretion, for a potential total of five years.
