Under the pricing spreadsheet, under Column C, you do not state the square footage for the various levels of cleaning: Basic, Level 1, and Level 2. You have provided documents with the square footage of the buildings, but the documents do not state anything about what level of cleaning each of the buildings require. This is important to know as this impacts pricing; unless the bidders know what level of cleaning the buildings require, we cannot price out the buildings according to the level of cleaning you require under the pricing spreadsheet.

A) TE-1 clearly defines the frequency of custodial services required for base level (CLINs X002, X003 and X004). TE-1 (cont) clearly defines frequency of custodial services for levels 1 and 2 (also defined as green and yellow). Pricing for CLIN X006 and X007 would be the additional price (in excess of the base price) for custodial services at level 2; pricing for CLIN X0008 and X009 would be the additional price (in excess of the base price) for custodial services at level 1. CLINs X006, X007, X008 and X009 are optional CLINs for an increased level of service.

Under the pricing spreadsheet, you state to carry out the number to two decimal places. However, under column D that asks for "cost per sq. ft", it is possible that the first two decimal places are zeros (i.e., $.009).
