930-691333 / Janitorial Services - D93

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is requesting proposals for janitorial services at the District 93 Complex in Evergreen, Alabama, with responses due June 2, 2026, and a contract effective June 1 through September 30, 2026.

The contractor must be located within 60 miles of the facility. Satisfactory experience of at least one year with buildings of comparable size and function is mandatory. The contractor must hold worker's compensation certification if employing five or more employees, provide liability insurance, and submit references and evidence of financial responsibility.

The scope covers weekly janitorial services performed on Wednesdays beginning at 6:00 a.m. across approximately 8,300 square feet spanning three buildings: the District Office Building (6,000 SF), Project Office Building (2,000 SF), and Shop Office with Shop Restroom (300 SF). Weekly tasks include emptying wastebaskets, mopping restroom floors, dusting surfaces, cleaning glass and fixtures, and sanitizing restrooms with germicidal solutions. Monthly services include vacuuming fabric furniture and cleaning telephones. Semi-annual services (October–March and April–August cycles) include wall dusting, window cleaning, and blind cleaning. The contractor furnishes all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision; the state supplies paper towels, toilet tissue, hand soap, and trash can liners. The contractor is responsible for filling dispensers and replacing liners, maintaining competent supervisory personnel on-site, and submitting materials and equipment for departmental approval prior to start. Sub-contracting requires written departmental approval. Quarterly inspections are mandatory; the contractor may be held liable for re-inspection costs resulting from poor performance.

The total contract cost does not exceed $25,000. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement, subject to a maximum term of five years. Invoices are rendered monthly, with potential 30–45-day payment delays in October due to fiscal year transition. All suppliers must register through Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically. The state reserves the right to conduct price escalation analysis; any approved annual increases do not exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost.
