As the agency published it
City of Banning - Purchasing Division has issued request for proposal, solicitation RFP-26-130.
The City of Banning Transit Division (“City”) is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide monthly bus cleaning services, weekly transit shelter cleaning services, and weekly trash collection services for transit-related facilities and amenities throughout the City’s transit system. The selected contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and incidentals necessary to perform the required services in accordance with this Statement of Work (SOW). The City anticipates selecting one firm to perform the services. Proposals are requested from Companies that have a demonstrated ability to perform the tasks identified in this Request for Proposal (“RFP”).
The City of Banning is strategically located astride Interstate 10 between the Inland Empire and the Coachella Valley in the San Gorgonio Pass. The City, incorporated in 1913, has a rich and colorful history. Initially Banning served as a stagecoach and railroad stop between the Arizona territories and Los Angeles. This history has contributed to the present-day spirit of pioneer resourcefulness and "can do" attitude that is so prevalent in the community. Banning is a friendly and wholesome place to work and raise a family. Desirable executive housing is available, as well as moderate and lower income housing. Clean air, ample water supplies and the memorable and inspiring scenic vistas of both Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. San Jacinto, the 2 tallest peaks in Southern California, are additional amenities which make the City of Banning a logical choice as a development opportunity in the Southern California area.
