Window Cleaning Services

Dane County, Wisconsin, is seeking window cleaning services for the Dane County Regional Airport through Request for Bid (RFB #2025-RFB-048), with a comprehensive solicitation for biannual window cleaning across multiple airport facilities. The procurement requires a contractor to perform window cleaning services twice annually, specifically in April and October, covering locations including the Parking Administration Building, Airport Maintenance Facility, Parking Ramp stairwells, elevator shafts, Skywalk, and Terminal Building, with both interior and exterior window cleaning requirements. A mandatory vendor conference is scheduled for September 11, 2025, at 1:00 pm, with proposal submissions due by September 26, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The initial contract term will run from October 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with potential renewal options extending through August 31, 2031, allowing for a total of five potential contract terms. Bidders must submit detailed unit costs for each specified window cleaning area, with pricing inclusive of all labor, delivery, and associated expenses, and will be evaluated based on comprehensive criteria that extend beyond mere cost considerations.

The solicitation demonstrates local vendor preference provisions, potentially favoring locally based and owned vendors, or those operating in Dane County or adjacent counties. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages and provide a Certificate of Insurance, demonstrating compliance with safety standards and operational requirements. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the county reserves the right to select the most advantageous proposal based on multiple evaluation factors. The procurement does not specify an exact budget range or award value, but requires comprehensive pricing that covers all aspects of window cleaning services. Prospective bidders must submit a Reference Data Sheet detailing three company references with similar service requirements, which will be verified during the bid evaluation process. The county's approach emphasizes professional, thorough window cleaning services that meet strict quality and safety standards, with flexibility for potential multi-year contract extensions.
