Contract source

Description

The Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation Authority (GoTriangle) seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive vehicle washing and detailing services for its fleet, including exterior washing, interior cleaning, sanitization, and glass cleaning. Services are to be performed on‑site at two locations (Durham and Morrisville) on Saturdays and Sundays, 9 AM–5 PM, with bi‑weekly routine washes for approximately 25 vehicles per site and on‑call washes for additional vehicles and 40‑ft buses. The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, water, cleaning chemicals, and must manage wastewater runoff, blocking storm drains and complying with environmental regulations. The contract term is one year with an optional one‑year renewal; payment is milestone‑based after acceptance of completed work. No subcontracting is allowed, and the contractor must meet extensive safety, insurance, E‑Verify, and certification requirements.

Contract value

$100,000

The addendum cites an historical spend of roughly $45,000 for a “fraction of the services,” implying that the full scope (bi‑weekly washes for ~50 vehicles plus on‑call services for additional buses) could be roughly double that amount. Assuming an average cost of $30–$40 per vehicle wash (including labor, water, chemicals, and waste management) and estimating 100 routine washes per year (50 vehicles × 2 per month) plus 20 on‑call washes, the total annual cost would be in the range of $3,600–$4,800 (routine) plus $600–$800 (on‑call), totalling about $4,500–$5,600 for routine services. Adding contingency, equipment depreciation, and administrative overhead could bring the contract value to approximately $70,000–$120,000. A conservative midpoint estimate of $100,000 is therefore reasonable.
