BID seeks proposals for Clean Team, Holiday Lighting

Request for Proposals | Clean Team Ambassadors Program

Goal:
The BID requires a Downtown BID specific OSHA/DOT color compliant safety uniformed service known as the Clean Team Ambassadors whose primary function is sidewalk cleanup, including litter pick up, sweeping, snow removal, weeding; code and maintenance reports, bagging of trash, etc; (see attached exhibit B). The Clean Team Ambassadors will provide supplemental services, will report directly to the BID’s Operations Manager and will work in conjunction with the City of Albany Department of General Services.  It is important the Contractor be familiar with City services understanding the contract is to augment, not replace, those services.   
 

In addition, the Clean Team Ambassadors will provide assistance to visitors in the form of directions, tourist information and other related matters.  Further, working with the BID Operations Manager, Albany Police Department’s Community Outreach officer assigned to the District and other police department personnel, the Clean Team Ambassadors will act as additional “eyes and ears” for the purpose of identifying and reporting life safety issues or unusual and suspicious behavior.
