Street Sweeping Services

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners is requesting competitive sealed bids on street sweeping services for designated county roadways and maintained impervious surfaces (parking lots and paved shoulders) under ITB-26-00408, with bids due October 2, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The bid deadline was extended from September 25 by Addendum No. 1 issued September 21, 2026.

The contractor must demonstrate capacity to sweep up to 7,000 lane miles per month when directed (increased from 3,500 by the addendum) and provide mechanical or regenerative vacuum sweepers with dual steering, gutter brooms, GPS tracking, and water-supply systems for dust control. At least one employee must hold Intermediate Maintenance of Traffic certification from the Florida Department of Transportation. Work is performed during 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. EST on arterial and collector roads monthly and local roads twice yearly between March and December, plus special sweeping, emergency response, and seasonal leaf-debris clearing. The scope encompasses approximately 1,800 linear miles of collector roads and designated local roads across seventeen municipalities (Apollo Beach, Brandon, Citrus Park, Dover, Gibsonton, Lithia, Lutz, Odessa, Plant City, Riverview, Ruskin, Seffner, Sun City Center, Tampa, Thonotosassa, Valrico, and Wimauma). All debris disposal costs at Florida Department of Environmental Protection-approved sites are the contractor's responsibility.

The estimated contract value is $1.564 million over two years. Payment is calculated on actual lane miles swept at unit prices for standard sweeping, hourly rates for special sweeping, and lump-sum fees for emergency response, with annual unit-price adjustments based on CPI-U. The county will issue individual purchase orders against a Blanket Purchase Agreement as work is needed and does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities. The incumbent is USA Services of Florida, LLC.

Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 to $5,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($300,000 to $1,000,000 combined single limits), Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability, and Pollution Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence) with A.M.

A Cone of Silence restricts all communications regarding this procurement except through the Director of Procurement or the County's assigned attorney. Questions are due ten calendar days after solicitation issuance.
