Window Washing Services

The Long Beach Public Utilities Department (LBPUD) is requesting quotations for window washing services at three facilities in Long Beach, California, with quotes due July 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via the Long Beach Buys electronic portal. A mandatory site walk is scheduled for July 1, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. A local preference provision grants Long Beach-based businesses with current business licenses and seller's permits a 10% price reduction for bid evaluation purposes, with the preference capped at fifty thousand dollars.

Services consist of monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual window washing at the Operations Service Center (1800 E Wardlow Rd), Groundwater Treatment Plant (2950 Redondo Ave), and Gas Facility (2400 E Spring St). The contractor shall provide all materials, tools, equipment, and labor; all work must be approved by LBPUD before commencement.

The contract term is twelve months with the option to extend for one additional year by mutual agreement. Award is based on unit prices and percentage discounts meeting specification requirements. Unit prices and percentage discounts must remain firm for the entire one-year term; any price increases or discount decreases result in contract cancellation at LBPUD's discretion. Sales tax shall not be included in quoted prices. Bidders must hold quotes valid for 90 days and agree to complete services within two consecutive days of scheduled service dates and respond to callback requests within two hours.

The contractor must maintain a current Long Beach business license, hold comprehensive general liability insurance of $1 million, automobile liability insurance of $500,000, and workers' compensation coverage as required by California law, with the Board of Public Utilities Commissioners named as additional insureds.
