About this file

This is Amendment 1 to a Best Value Bid solicitation issued by Midlands Technical College, a state agency in South Carolina, for janitorial services across multiple campuses. The solicitation requests proposals for comprehensive daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual cleaning services for eight facilities including the Airport, Beltline, Northeast, Cornerstone, Harbison, and Batesburg-Leesville campuses, plus Northlake Center, Lexington Medical Center, and the DHL Building. The initial proposal deadline was extended to July 13, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with award notification scheduled for July 31, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, and vendor questions must be submitted by June 17, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. The contract will commence July 1, 2026 for an initial one-year term with four optional one-year renewals. Mandatory site visits were scheduled for June 9, 11, and 12, 2026.

Offerors must submit separate technical and price proposals online in specified formats, with pricing information to remain confidential until award. The evaluation criteria weight cost at 60 percent, staffing plan/operations/policies at 25 percent, qualifications at 10 percent, and company profile at 5 percent. Mandatory qualifications require minimum ten years of commercial cleaning experience and documented provision of staffing services for a similar-sized facility within the past five years with at least 35 employees assigned to a single client. The contractor must supply W-2 employees in uniforms, maintain workers' compensation and general liability insurance with $1 million limits, and conduct background checks and drug screening. Midlands Technical College will provide all cleaning supplies and equipment. Amendment 1 extends the opening date and modifies the award posting date, with Amendment 2 forthcoming to address vendor questions.
