8524 - Janitorial Services

Shelby County, Alabama is soliciting bids for monthly janitorial services at the Alabaster Career Center, a 9,000-square-foot facility in Alabaster, with proposals due September 2, 2026 and a mandatory site visit required before bid submission. Service begins October 1, 2026 and runs through September 30, 2027, billed monthly in arrears.

The scope requires nightly services five nights per week (Monday through Friday) after 5:00 p.m., with no operations permitted after midnight without written approval. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision. Daily duties span offices, breakrooms, conference rooms, restrooms, lobby entranceways, corridors, and carpeted areas. Quarterly deep-cleaning services in March, June, September, and December—including floor stripping and finishing, carpet shampooing or steam cleaning, and window cleaning—must be scheduled in writing in advance. The county furnishes paper towels, toilet tissue, hand soap, trash can liners, and sanitary napkin holder liners. The contractor assumes responsibility for key control and security; lock replacement costs are deducted from invoices for any lost or stolen keys. Subcontracting requires written departmental approval. Vendors must submit references with bids and provide a materials and equipment list for departmental approval.

The mandatory site visit and facility inspection certification by both vendor and agency management is a prerequisite to bid acceptance; failure to complete this inspection results in bid rejection. Career Center Manager Kristina Lawrence (205) 663-2542 schedules facility tours. Vendors must provide 30 days' written notice prior to contract cancellation.
