About this file
This is a housekeeping checklist document for Fisher House operations that outlines daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic cleaning and maintenance tasks. The checklist is organized by day of the week and facility area, with daily duties including dining room and kitchen sanitation, guest bathroom disinfection, and hallway maintenance. Weekly specialized tasks include deep cleaning of the living room and main entry on Mondays, kitchen appliance and refrigerator cleaning on Tuesdays, bedroom sanitation on Wednesdays, housekeeping closet organization on Thursdays, and family room and elevator cleaning on Fridays. Additional responsibilities include laundry pickup and drop-off services, linen changes every seven days in guest rooms, and comprehensive guest room checkout procedures that encompass inventory, disinfection, and restocking of amenities. Monthly tasks include food expiration management, window and picture cleaning, and cleaning solution maintenance for appliances, while quarterly and semi-annual tasks address vent vacuuming and door lock battery replacement. Annual responsibilities include professional carpet shampooing, drape dry cleaning, guest pillow replacement, and seasonal patio furniture maintenance.
The document serves as the operational standard for housekeeping staff at Fisher House, a Department of Veterans Affairs residential facility. It specifies cleaning chemicals, disinfection protocols, Legionella precautions for water fixture maintenance, and inventory management procedures. The checklist is directly referenced in the related RFQ 36C25926Q0110 for janitorial services at the Eastern Colorado Healthcare System, where Fisher House comprises 10,606 of the total 581,002 cleanable square feet across multiple VA facilities. The checklist demonstrates the detailed scope of work expected from janitorial service contractors awarded this SDVOSB set-aside solicitation with a base year plus four option years.
