This is a Specification Guide for Janitorial Services for U.S. Army recruiting facilities, establishing requirements and standards for contracted cleaning services.

Janitorial cleaning services shall be provided twice weekly on a Monday-through-Friday schedule between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., either at scheduled appointments or by advance appointment with Military Service Representatives (MSRs). The MSR must be physically present and visible during all cleaning, arriving 15 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment and waiting a maximum of 30 minutes beyond appointment time. Contractor no-shows must be reported immediately via military chain of command to the Real Estate Point of Contact and recorded on the janitorial checklist; payment deductions apply for no-shows. MSR no-shows result in no make-up cleaning requirement and no penalty to the contractor. No cleaning occurs on Federal Holidays; if a holiday falls on a scheduled cleaning day, cleaning shifts to the next business day. The contractor shall not receive keys, passwords, PINs, or entry codes to any government facilities. For offices vacated for four or more weeks, the MSR must notify USACE district representatives. Carpet cleaning requires separate appointments scheduled to allow adequate drying time, preferably late Friday, with the MSR present during service. The Janitorial Service Checklist must be posted and completed weekly, signed by both contractor and MSR confirming satisfactory work completion without advance sign-off.

The contractor shall provide all labor, transportation, tools, materials, equipment, and supplies using environmentally friendly products and following manufacturer directions and Professional Cleaning and Restoration Industry standards. For high-touch surface disinfection, alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol, EPA-registered household disinfectants, or Clorox wipes are mandatory. Services include twice-weekly trash removal with 100% recycled liners, vacuuming with HEPA filtration, damp mopping hard surfaces, high-touch surface disinfection, restroom cleaning and disinfection with 100% recycled paper products, and once-weekly miscellaneous cleaning. Additional services performed monthly include dusting with damp cloths, window cleaning inside and exterior (weather permitting at 38 degrees or above), trash receptacle washing, and toilet bowl/urinal de-scaling. Quarterly services include HVAC filter changes (MERV 6-8 or better) and HVAC intake/diffuser cleaning. Semi-annual professional carpet cleaning using certified hot water extraction systems by IICRC-certified "Master Cleaners" is required in April and October, with ScotchGard treatment application and completion after normal working hours. Annual services include light fixture cleaning in October. Emergency cleaning services must be provided within a half day to address pipe leaks, fixture failures, or similar incidents. Re-lamping requires energy-efficient LED bulbs and tubes compatible with existing ballast hardware, maintaining uniform cool white color temperature.

Specification Guide for Janitorial Services

General

A. Janitorial cleaning services shall be provided on a two day per week schedule unless it conflicts with standard services provided by the Lessor to other tenants, or as circumstances may warrant for more cleaning days. All janitorial cleaning shall be performed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by appointment scheduled in advance, with each recruiting service. The Contractor shall notify the designated Military Service Representative(s) (MSR) of any deviation to the previously agreed upon appointment and schedule an alternate appointment for cleaning. No keys, passwords, PINs, or entry codes to Government leased facilities are to be provided to Contractors under any circumstances.

B. The MSR shall unlock doors for the Contractor and shall be physically present and visible in the facility during all cleaning at the scheduled appointment time. The MSR shall be present in the facility a minimum of 15 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time and wait a maximum of 30 minutes beyond appointment time for the Contractor to arrive for cleaning, after which time the Contractor shall be deemed to have not met the appointment. It should be noted that in multi-service stations, if the Contractor is actively working in another Service's area, the MSR should not leave or mark this as a no-show and should make arrangements with the Contractor on site to complete cleaning as soon as practicable. A no-show by the Contractor shall be reported immediately via the military chain of command to the Real Estate POC and must be recorded on the janitorial checklist. If the MSR is a no-show (fails to be available to open the facility a maximum of 30 minutes beyond appointment time) the contractor will not make up that day's cleaning and shall report to clean on the next scheduled appointment time with no penalty assessment. The contractor shall immediately report a no-show by MSR(s) to the Real Estate POC. No cleaning shall be accomplished on Federal Holidays. If a Federal Holiday occurs on one of the regularly scheduled cleaning days, the Contractor shall perform the cleaning on the next business day. The Contractor shall ensure that cleaning services occur at least twice per week.

C. If an office is going to be vacated for a period of four (4) weeks or more for reasons such as recruiter assignment rotation, the appropriate military service representative must notify the USACE district representatives.

D. Separate appointments shall be made for all periodic carpet cleaning at a time that will allow for ample time for damp carpets to dry without undue traffic from normal business activities. It is recommended that the carpet cleaning be accomplished late in the day on Friday to allow drying time. The Contractor will not be responsible for moving furniture or any items left on the floor. Prior to scheduled cleaning, the Services should remove all items from the floor, except heavy furniture items, to maximize the effectiveness of carpet cleaning. A MSR must be physically present during carpet cleaning.

E. The Janitorial Service Checklist (see enclosed) shall be posted in each Service space and common areas. The checklist shall be completed by the Janitorial Contractor and signed at the completion of each week’s cleaning.

The MSR will also sign signifying that the specified work has been completed in a satisfactory manner. This checklist shall be used by the Contractor. Do not sign off in advance of anticipated completed work.

F. The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, transportation, tools, materials, equipment, and supplies required to perform services. All cleaning procedures and treatments shall be accomplished in accordance with the manufacturer's directions and/or listed specifications and industry standards applicable to the Professional Cleaning and Restoration Industry. The Contractor shall use environmentally friendly products for all maintenance and cleaning. For disinfection of high-touch surfaces, at minimum, Contractor must use alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol. Most EPA-Registered household disinfectants and Clorox disinfecting wipes are allowed. Use of recycled materials is highly encouraged.
