QUESTIONS SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 003, PRE-SUBMITTAL

CONFERENCE, RESTRICTIONS OF COMMUNICATION:

:

On January 7, 2026, the City of San Antonio hosted a Pre-Submittal Conference and Site Visit for all

participating vendors. Below is a list of questions that interested vendors submitted. The City’s official

responses to vendor questions is as follows:

Question 1: How many total windows have specialty coatings on them that requires special (beyond

standard) cleaning products? What type of specialty coatings?

Response: Only the Public Safety Headquarters (PSHQ) building has windows with impact-resistant

protective film that may require manufacturer approved cleaning products/methods. All

other Building Equipment Services Department (BESD) facilities do not require specialty

cleaning products. For all San Antonio Public Library’s (SAPL) there are no specialty

coatings, only standard tint.

Question 2: At City Tower floors 2-19 exterior, are the eye hook anchors on each floor an approved

tie off method to wash the exterior windows. If not, what method will the City approve to

safely perform the exterior window cleaning?

Response: Eye hook anchors are not approved as tie-off methods for exterior window washing at City

Tower. A swing-stage apparatus with secure, counterweighted rigging, along with

comprehensive fall protection in accordance with OSHA safety standards, must be utilized

for access all above-ground exterior windows at City Tower.

Question 3: Will the City allow the boatswain chair method?

Response: The boatswain’s chair method cannot be used at City Tower. However, a rope-suspension

system may be used at other multi-story buildings provided that a block and tackle system

with secondary safety lines to prevent falls is utilized. Vendor must also follow OSHA

standards for fall protection safety requirements. At the San Antonio Public Library (SAPL)

locations, the boatswain chair method may be used, provided all safety protocols and

OSHA regulations are strictly followed.

Question 4: At Public Safety Headquarters (PSHQ), is interior window washing included on all six

levels.

Response: Yes, the interior window cleaning is included on all six levels at PSHQ.

union?

Response: The City is not under contract for these services.

Question 7: Are there anchor systems on the roofs/davit arms or are there permanent window cleaning

units on those high-rise buildings? Or do we need to provide our own rigs and access?

Response: The awarded company will need to provide proper apparatus and safety fall protection to

access windows in accordance with OSHA standards. There are anchor points on the

Central Library’s roof and atrium.

Library (SAPL).

Question 9: Will the City provide boom lifts/scissor lifts, or do we need to rent them?

facility. Any necessary equipment will need to be provided by the vendor and

considered into the pricing.

Question 10: What is the process for accessing the building? (Badging, escorting.)?

Response: For the BESD locations, staff will either be escorted by a City staff member or provided

pass the background check, and they complete a CJIS Level 1 on-line training

awarded contractor the point of contact for each division, and we will provide access.

DHS will only require the contractor to check in when arriving and check out when done

No escorting will be required. All Library locations will have an escort for the contractor.
