CITYWIDE VEHICLE WASHING SERVICES

The City of Charlottesville is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide automated vehicle washing services for multiple City departments under solicitation IFB 26-79. The contract requires vendors to offer automated washes and also provide access to interior vacuuming equipment at no extra charge. The service location is within Virginia, with the City’s Finance - Procurement office managing the solicitation. Interested vendors must submit their bids by March 30, 2026. Key contact for this procurement is Madison Alvis, Strategic Procurement Specialist, who can be reached via email or phone. Bidders must ensure they have all required insurance coverage in place before beginning work, including delivering certificates of insurance and endorsements naming the City and its officials as additional insured parties. Although submitting insurance certificates with the bid is not required, coverage must not be changed or canceled without a 30-day prior written notice to the City. Additionally, while the contract involves vehicle washing services and not deliveries to City Hall, vendors should be aware that any deliveries to City Hall or the Annex must use the designated commercial loading zone on 7th Street, with strict parking enforcement in that area.
