46-DNCR-25-2042 Janitorial Services for the NC Museum of Natural Sciences at Whiteville

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources is seeking a qualified vendor to provide janitorial services three days per week for the NC Museum of Natural Sciences facility in Whiteville, North Carolina. The contract will include all necessary labor, supervision, and equipment to keep the 14,503 square foot building properly cleaned, including tasks such as sweeping and mopping floors, vacuuming carpets, cleaning bathrooms, and restocking supplies. Optional services for carpet cleaning and tile floor maintenance may also be requested. The contract term is three years with an option to renew. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for October 16, 2024, and bids are due by October 28, 2024. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) outlines the specific janitorial tasks and deliverables required, and vendors must submit pricing on the provided Pricing Form, which will be the determining factor in the award decision.

The State of North Carolina will accept bids from registered vendors within the state and encourages Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation. No funding sources or award amounts are provided in the IFB, and the Department has stated that a budget is not available for this project. An addendum has been issued that modifies the previously stated schedule for janitorial services, changing the days and times from Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings to Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings, and clarifying that two daytime staff are required to perform the services.
