How to bid on Graffiti Removal Services for LA County Public Works
What LA County Public Works is buying
Los Angeles County Public Works is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from contractors interested in providing graffiti removal services. This Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) will not result in an immediate contract award. Instead, it aims to establish a qualified list of contractors who will then be invited to bid on specific graffiti removal projects as needs arise in the future.
Being on this qualified list means your firm will be considered for future Invitations for Bids (IFBs) for graffiti removal. These future contracts will require compliance with prevailing wage payments under the California Labor Code and the County’s Living Wage Ordinance.
Key dates and deadlines
The deadline to submit your Statement of Qualifications is Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Submissions received after this date may not be reviewed for up to six months or at the County's discretion, potentially missing placement on the initial Qualified Contractors List.
An optional online proposers' conference will be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time via Microsoft Teams. Written questions are due by Monday, June 2, 2025. Any Living Wage Exemption forms (Form LW-2) are also due by Monday, June 2, 2025.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms specializing in facilities maintenance, specifically graffiti removal, who can meet the minimum mandatory requirements outlined in the RFSQ. Contractors must be prepared to adhere to prevailing wage and living wage requirements for any resulting work.
This is a good fit for businesses looking to establish a long-term relationship with LA County Public Works and be considered for ongoing work in graffiti abatement across the county.
