As-Needed Painting Services

The City of San Buenaventura is soliciting proposals for as-needed painting services, including wood sanding and staining, drywall repair and replacement, and cove base and baseboard replacement. The contract is for an initial one-year term with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions, for a maximum duration of five years. All work must be performed on City property in Ventura, California, and requires the use of low VOC materials that comply with EPA requirements. Contractors must adhere to OSHA safety standards and provide photo documentation of existing damage before starting work. Award decisions will be based on the best fit and value, with evaluation weights split equally between contractor capability (30%) and reference evaluation (30%), while cost remains a significant but not sole factor. Required submissions include a cover letter, personnel resumes, three reference projects, and a cost proposal. Key compliance requirements include a certification of prevailing wage compliance, a W-9 form, and security clearances involving fingerprinting and background checks through the Ventura Police Department for all personnel. Proposals are due by October 8, 2026, and must be submitted as one hard copy in a sealed envelope and one PDF. Small local businesses may apply for a purchasing preference if they meet specific size and location criteria.
