The work consists of performing all operations in connection with graffiti removal from various surfaces up to twelve feet in height (12’) on both City infrastructure and private property within the city limits of Los Angeles. Contractors are to inspect all surfaces to determine the appropriate method to be used for graffiti abatement. Methods of removal may include the following: painting and color matching of walls, pressure washing/sandblasting sidewalks and curbs, cleaning of signs and poles and removal of stickers from same using graffiti removal solvents or any other removal procedures determined appropriate by the City. Contractors must be careful to avoid damaging existing structures or adjacent vehicles. If damage to the existing building is caused, the contractor will be held responsible for the repair and expense. Additionally, graffiti should be removed so that the area surrounding it constitutes a box or rectangle to minimize the appearance of any shadows. Color of existing surface should be matched as closely as possible.
