Arlington Public Schools issued ITB 29FY26 on December 5, 2025, soliciting sealed electronic bids for a 12-month term contract to provide preventive maintenance and repair services for swimming pools across its facilities in Virginia, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. The solicitation requires contractors to perform all necessary labor, materials, and equipment-related services defined in the contract documents, including specified tasks such as acid cleaning, pump and heater maintenance, tubing replacement, and other related repairs. Bids must be submitted via a secure cloud-based platform by January 8, 2026, following strict formatting and mandatory compliance with licensing, safety, insurance, and criminal conviction certifications. The contract emphasizes quality workmanship consistent with regulatory standards such as VOSH, EPA, DEQ, and ADA compliance. Contractor personnel access is tightly controlled, requiring APS employee presence during service, especially outside normal operating hours. Award of the contract will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where bidders must meet all pass/fail technical and administrative criteria, including Virginia DPOR licensing and safety compliance, with no trade-offs for price versus technical merit. Detailed pricing schedules accompany the solicitation for evaluation but actual price fields are blank, indicating prices are to be proposed by bidders. Contract administration is overseen by the APS Project Manager, with work governed by purchase orders issued on an as-required basis. The contract contains customized provisions covering key personnel approval, confidentiality of APS data, security protocols, subcontractor flow-down requirements, and mandatory certifications regarding criminal convictions and safety. No standardized FAR clauses are included; instead, unique contract terms ensure compliance with local regulations, operational continuity, and protection of APS interests throughout the contract term.
