The City of Ventura (also referred to as the City of San Buenaventura) is soliciting sealed bids under ITB No. B-130000784 for graffiti abatement services across Ventura County, California. The procurement requires contractors to provide all labor, equipment, vehicles, supplies, and safety measures necessary to perform graffiti removal in accordance with City specifications and applicable federal, state, and local laws. Bidders must submit one signed hard copy in a sealed envelope marked with the solicitation number and a PDF electronic copy by September 17, 2025. Communication and questions are managed through the City’s Senior Buyer, with responses issued via addendum. The contract term extends through June 30, 2026, with options for up to two additional one-year renewals. Bidders must comply with a range of administrative, contractual, and legal requirements including providing proof of insurance with specified coverage levels, adherence to living and prevailing wage laws, and proper licensing. The agreement establishes the Contractor as an independent entity fully responsible for performance quality, safety, and compliance, including subcontractor management. Intellectual property arising from contract work will be owned exclusively by the City. The evaluation of bids prioritizes the lowest responsive and responsible offeror that meets technical and pricing criteria, and the City grants a 5% preference for qualified Small Local Businesses as defined by its procurement policy. While the contract does not specify exact pricing or detailed delivery schedules, it mandates timely defect correction, comprehensive documentation, and compliance with municipal codes. Contract administration ensures payment within 30 days of invoice receipt, contingent on available appropriations, and includes provisions for indemnification, force majeure, and conflict of interest prohibitions. The solicitation emphasizes a formal bid submission process with strict format and deadline adherence but does not address packaging, marking, or military standards.
