Services are to be performed at the District’s Fleet Maintenance Facility (4770 Cardin Street, San Diego) and must comply with California safety, environmental, and background‑check requirements. • Exterior bus washing (≤ 20 min per bus) using district‑approved soap or waterless methods. • Exterior detailing/waxing/buffing (≤ 3 h per bus) with VOC‑compliant products. • Interior cleaning and detailing (≤ 1 h per bus) including vacuuming, surface cleaning, and sanitation. • Contractor provides all equipment, chemicals, and must meet background‑check, drug‑free workplace, and OSHA/CAL‑OSHA standards.

Budget estimate

$30,000 – $80,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical school‑bus wash rates (≈ $150‑$250 per bus) and an estimated 200‑300 bus washes per year, the annual spend could range from roughly $30,000 to $80,000. Additional detailing jobs (waxing, interior cleaning) could push the high end upward, while a lower frequency of washes would keep the low end near $30K.
