The Orange County Register ran an article on January 27, 2012 about the graffiti removal contract and problems with the contractor who won the bid.

Our response on graffiti removal is posted below.
One of the problems with bidding contracts like this is knowing how long it will take to get things done. If the amount of work increases due to more than expected graffiti, the company will either lose money or not meet the standards of the contract.
Our company, Wash On Wheels – http/www.washonwheels.net– has removed graffiti in Denver, Colorado for many years.But we only charge graffiti removal by the hour, or for each specific job after we have inspected it. The amount needed for time and materials varies widely depending on the size of the tag, what kind of paint, ink, or whatever they used, and the surface it’s on.
Trying to bid for everything in the future with so many variables is too big a gamble.
