Vehicle Wash and Detail Services

The City of Orlando is seeking qualified bidders for an Invitation for Bid (IFB25-0013) to provide vehicle washing and detailing services for its municipal fleet at a fixed location. The procurement encompasses washing services for approximately 9,511 total vehicle washes, including 7,017 basic washes and 2,494 deluxe washes across various vehicle types such as marked and unmarked police cars, general service vehicles, vans, pick-up trucks, and SUVs. Bidders must maintain a local service facility within 10 miles of the City's Fleet Maintenance facility and submit electronic responses through the City's e-Procurement Portal by December 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The contract will be awarded for an initial three-year period with options to renew for two additional twelve-month periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to five years. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, pricing, and the ability to meet comprehensive service requirements, with the City reserving the right to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or potentially multiple suppliers to ensure adequate service coverage.

The solicitation includes several important compliance requirements for potential bidders, including comprehensive insurance coverage, adherence to living wage policies, non-discrimination standards, and scrutinized companies prohibitions. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents suggest a commitment to fair and open competition. Pricing proposals must include unit costs for basic and deluxe wash services, with all prices to be F.O.B. Destination and delivered to City of Orlando departments. Though specific budget ranges are not detailed, the scope of approximately 9,511 total vehicle washes indicates a significant potential contract value. The City's procurement approach allows for flexibility in vendor selection, potentially enabling multiple awards to ensure comprehensive service coverage for its diverse municipal fleet. Interested vendors must carefully review all specifications and ensure complete compliance with the detailed requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
