8523-Janitorial Services

The State of Alabama, specifically through Butler County, is seeking janitorial services for the Brewton Career Center, a 5,250 square foot facility located in Brewton, Alabama. The procurement opportunity, identified as Contract 8523-Janitorial Services, requires a contractor to provide comprehensive cleaning services five nights per week after 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a service period from March 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025. The scope of work includes daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly cleaning tasks encompassing offices, breakrooms, conference rooms, restrooms, lobby areas, corridors, and parking lots. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision, with the state furnishing specific supplies like paper towels, toilet tissue, hand soap, and trash liners. A mandatory site visit and certification are required prior to bid submission, with documentation needing signatures from both the contractor and Career Center Manager. The due date for proposals is March 19, 2025, and bidders must submit references with their proposals, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The contract prohibits subcontracting without written approval and requires contractors to maintain local service representatives. Payment terms indicate potential delays in October payments due to fiscal year transitions, with processing potentially taking 30-45 days. Contractors must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and submit responses electronically through the Public Solicitation site. Out-of-state companies must register with the Alabama Secretary of State's office before conducting business. While no specific budget range is provided, the document suggests that cost realism and price reasonableness will be evaluated. Prospective bidders must also comply with E-Verify program requirements for employees in Alabama and be prepared for potential cost analysis by the state procurement division.
