REQUEST FOR QUOTES – CONTRACTOR ABATEMENT SERVICES
The City of Cortez is soliciting Quotes with statements of qualifications and experience from professional contractors for on-call cleaning, restoration, and abatement services. Services to be provided may include, but are not limited to: removal and lawful disposal of accumulated trash, rubbish, debris, and junk from exterior premises; removal of junk or inoperable vehicles and appliances where applicable; clearing of overgrown vegetation constituting a nuisance; interior cleanout of structures where a court order or abatement agreement extends to interior conditions; temporary securing of a site (fencing/boarding) following abatement; photo/video documentation of pre- and post-abatement conditions sufficient to support municipal court records; and coordination with City Code Enforcement Staff and, where necessary, law enforcement, for site access and on-call services.
The City intends to enter into a Professional Services Contract with the contractor/firm selected through this solicitation. Selection will be based on an evaluation of factors including recent experience, similar experience to that required by the City, background, capacity to meet the City’s needs, quality of previous public contractor projects undertaken, and the cost (per hour) of the services being offered. This Professional Services Contract for preferred contractor is a legal business agreement that will outline the terms and conditions between the City and the selected contractor and will be used primarily for the specified services. This exclusivity will allow the City to receive benefits, such as discounted rates, while the contractor is given security through consistent work with the City.
