5 Day Janitorial L6765 Sterling

The State of Illinois Central Management Services is requesting bids for 5-day janitorial services at facility L6765, 406 Avenue C, Sterling, Illinois under a Small Business Set-Aside procurement, with bids due July 7, 2026. Eligibility is restricted to vendors registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway at the time of bid submission — a mandatory filter.

The scope covers daily restroom cleaning and disinfection, floor mopping and vacuuming, waste removal, recycling collection, mirror cleaning, and lunchroom maintenance Monday through Friday after normal business hours; twice-weekly entryway glass cleaning and outdoor debris removal; weekly spray buffing, window dusting, and partition glass washing; and semi-annual carpet shampooing, blind washing, window washing, and tile stripping/refinishing. The vendor must designate a contact person and submit a detailed working plan within five days of contract execution. The minimum service requirement is 75 hours per month, with at least 65 hours dedicated to daily tasks. All supplies, equipment, and consumables must be environmentally preferable products certified by Green Seal, Environmental Choice Ecologo, or EPA Design for the Environment. No subcontracting is permitted; all employees must receive W-2s and be covered under the vendor's insurance plans. General commercial liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate is required, along with workers' compensation insurance.

The contract term runs from August 1, 2026 through February 28, 2032. Pricing is estimated rather than firm; the vendor invoices monthly in arrears based on actual services performed. The vendor must comply with Illinois prevailing wage requirements under 30 ILCS 500/25-60. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest overall total price. Bids remain firm for 180 days from opening. A mandatory facility walk-through is available; bidders should consult the BidBuy posting for attendance requirements, as failure to attend could result in disqualification. Electronic submission through BidBuy is required, along with IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure or Vendor Disclosure forms, the Offer to the State of Illinois form, and Standard Illinois Certifications compliance documentation.
