BID BLMOSP Janitorial Services

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, is soliciting bids for janitorial services at Black Moshannon State Park, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on November 13, 2026 and bids due November 20, 2026. The procurement is reserved for self-certified small businesses designated under Executive Order 211-09, and bidders must submit a valid Self-Certification Form from the Department of General Services before bid opening.

The scope covers cleaning three regular modern cabins, three dog-friendly modern cabins, and one unique lodge at 4216 Beaver Road, Philipsburg, in Centre County. Summer cleanings occur weekly on Fridays from the second Friday in June through the third Friday in August. Non-summer cleanings occur after every occupancy, with potential seven-day-per-week scheduling. Semi-annual deep cleanings in late April and mid-October typically require four consecutive business days. The contractor must furnish all cleaning products, supplies, and equipment, and park management must approve products before use. Bidders must also submit a completed Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form. Unsatisfactory cleanings require corrective action within 24 hours. Five unsatisfactory cleanings between semi-annual inspections trigger a mandatory performance meeting and potential contract termination. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation and public liability and property damage coverage of $250,000 per person and $1 million per occurrence.

The contract term begins upon receipt of a fully executed purchase order or February 1, 2027, whichever is later, and ends January 31, 2028. The state may exercise up to four additional consecutive annual renewals through January 31, 2032, with unit price increases not exceeding 3%. The contractor invoices monthly for services satisfactorily performed, and the state pays by Automated Clearing House direct deposit on a reimbursement basis. Award will be made to the lowest total sum. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal, and bid results will be posted on the PA eMarketplace after opening. The procurement contact is Park Manager Mathias Weinzen, reachable at 814-342-5960 or mweinzen@pa.gov.
