This is a bid cancellation notice issued by Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) for solicitation number 252601 regarding comprehensive custodial services across four campus locations: Acadian, Central, Jackson, and Port Allen. The original solicitation sought a contractor to perform detailed janitorial services including daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning tasks for general office areas, restrooms, floor care, window cleaning, and sanitation maintenance. The contract term was proposed for 12 months beginning December 1, 2025, with potential extensions for two additional 12-month periods. Bids were originally due on November 10, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. CST with a public bid opening scheduled for 10:00 a.m. the same day at the Governors Building. However, on December 5, 2025, BRCC cancelled this solicitation in its entirety due to ambiguous or otherwise inadequate specifications contained within the bid documents.

The cancellation was determined to be in the best interest of the State, and BRCC indicated that a new solicitation would be issued in the near future allowing all prospective vendors to compete. The original solicitation required bidders to provide detailed monthly and annual pricing for each campus location and demonstrate capability to supply trained personnel, supervision, and transportation with mandatory background checks for all employees. The contractor was required to meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability with specific coverage limits. Addendum No. 3 of the original solicitation established stipulated damages of $25 per occurrence for service non-conformity or improper performance across twelve service categories.
