This is a consolidation of existing services and is therefore considered a new requirement. Please note the some service requirements have changed from the current contracts.

The incumbent contract for landscaping is DTFASA-17-C-00354 with J.Oliva Trucking LLC at $5,436.49 monthly.

The incumbent contract for janitorial services is 697DCK-18-C-00065 with Dammel Cleaning Enterprise, Inc.

L1 monthly services are $8,228.23 monthly.

L2 daily services are $180.66 per day and L3 daily services are $91.00.

15) Are there any requirements for contractors to have for facility access? ie, background checks, US citizens, green card workers, drug tests?

Foreign Nationals can support FAA contracts if they meet the criteria outlined in Security Clause 3.14-3 – Foreign Nationals as Contractor Employees. Because janitorial contracts require routine physical access, a background investigation must be conducted and reviewed for a favorable suitability determination. Janitorial and landscaping positions do not require direct drug testing by the FAA- this is the responsibility of the vendor.
