Window Cleaning Services

The Louisville Metro Government is soliciting proposals for high-rise and commercial window cleaning services on an as-needed basis under solicitation number RFP260265. The contract is designated for performance within the state of Kentucky and is administered by Louisville Metro Facilities Management. Proposals are to be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by June 30, 2026. The solicitation emphasizes local compliance requirements rather than federal standardized contract clauses, focusing on adherence to Louisville Metro Code Ordinances such as local vendor preferences and minimum wage provisions. Specifically, contractors must certify compliance with a minimum wage threshold of $10.10 per hour for full-time employees and may claim local vendor preferences subject to penalties for false claims. Additionally, contractors must comply with local restrictions on criminal history inquiries, which generally prohibit such inquiries on initial applications except in specified circumstances like access to sensitive information or sole-source awards. The procurement documentation reveals a strong emphasis on affirmative action and subcontractor participation, including mandatory Good Faith Efforts (GFE) reporting for Minority-, Female-, and Historically Underutilized Business Enterprises with explicit participation goals (15% MBE, 5% FBE, 0.5% HBE). Full disclosure and certification of subcontractor information are required as part of the bid process. The contract does not outline specific pricing, performance periods, detailed scope of work, or technical standards, nor does it specify evaluation criteria or contract administration points of contact beyond general Louisville Metro government details. Inspection and acceptance terms are not expressly defined but are likely linked to administrative procedures overseen by the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission. Overall, the solicitation prioritizes procedural compliance with local ordinances, inclusivity goals, and wage standards while providing window cleaning services as needed across Louisville Metro facilities.
