The scope covers pressure washing at 3,000–4,000 PSI on the Cedar Cove Multi Column Tower (268,000 gallons, last cleaned 8–10 years ago), Persimmon Hills Multi Column Tower (75,000 gallons, last cleaned 8–10 years ago), and Wicomico Shores Pedesphere Tower (250,000 gallons, last cleaned in 2024). Contractors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, profit, overhead, and means and methods. Exterior surface cleaning only is included; no interior tank work. No drone methods are permitted. Contractors must submit lump sum prices for each tower individually and may offer a discount if awarded all three towers. Contractors are responsible for any damage to existing facilities or adjacent property.

No prevailing wage or bond requirements apply. All qualified contractors, including out-of-state vendors, are eligible.

Quote pricing shall not cumulatively exceed $49,999.00, with payment made on a per-tower basis. A refundable MetCom-owned hydrant meter fee of $2,500.00 is required; water usage is provided at no charge. Contractors have 30 days from notice to proceed to complete tower cleaning work. Invoices must be submitted electronically within 30 days of completion, referencing the RFQ number and specific tower names.
