Glass Cleaning and Pressure Washing Services

The Authority is seeking to award a contract to a qualified Respondent to provide glass cleaning and pressure washing services. The Authority was created in 1945 and is an independent special district governed by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Act, Chapter 2022-252, Laws of Florida (Act). This Act provides that the Authority will have exclusive jurisdiction, control, supervision and management over all publicly-owned airports in Hillsborough County. The Authority owns and operates the Tampa International Airport and three general aviation airports: Peter O. Knight Airport, Plant City Airport and Tampa Executive Airport. The Tampa International Airport occupies approximately 3,400 acres and is primarily an origination-destination airport serving the greater Tampa Bay area. The Authority contracts with two separate firms for the management of the general aviation airports. Peter O. Knight Airport is a 139-acre facility located six miles southeast of the Tampa International Airport, five minutes from Tampa’s downtown business district, Convention Center, and many local attractions, and is strategically located on Davis Islands across from the Seaplane Basin Park on Tampa Bay and The Port of Tampa cruise ship terminals. Tampa Executive Airport, a 407-acre facility, is located 12 miles east of the Airport. Plant City Airport, a 199-acre facility, is located 22 miles east of the Airport. The Tampa International Airport is consistently ranked among the world’s most beloved airports, serving more than 21 million annual passengers with routes to 90 nonstop destinations around the world. The Tampa International Airport has received top awards at the state, national and international level, including being ranked #1 in North America and fifth in the world in customer satisfaction among airports of its size. The Tampa International Airport has now completed several projects in the largest construction program in its history with a major Main Terminal renovation, 66 shops and restaurants, a 1.4-mile automated people mover extending to a multi-level rental car facility, new Blue Express Curbsides, a nine-story office complex, and numerous new public art installations. The Airport is a major economic driver for the Tampa Bay region and is the gateway to the west coast of Florida. The Authority Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the facilities on all of the publicly owned airports in Hillsborough County, which includes, but is not limited to, the maintenance and cleaning of all glass and pressure washing. The Authority is seeking a qualified Respondent for the performance of Services at the Airports as detailed in Attachment A, Sample Contract, Exhibit A, Scope of Work. The Authority intends to award a Contract to the lowest responsible, responsive Respondent for the Services outlined in this Solicitation and a separate contract to the lowest responsible, responsive Respondent for the services outlined in the Hi-Reach Cleaning Services Invitation to Bid. Respondents may bid on both solicitations, but are not required to bid on both. NOTE: The same Respondent will not be awarded the Contract for Glass Cleaning and Pressure Washing Services and a contract for Hi-Reach Cleaning Services. Should the same Respondent be the lowest responsive and responsible Respondent for both solicitations, the Authority will select which contract such Respondent will be awarded, based on the lowest overall cost to the Authority. The second lowest responsive and responsible Respondent will be awarded the other contract. The Term of the Contract is November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2028. The Authority will have the right to terminate the Contract by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Awarded Respondent. Refer to Attachment A, Sample Contract for specific provisions of the Contract relating to Term, termination, rights and obligations and end of Term transition.
