BL003-25 Provision of Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services on Annual Contract

Gwinnett County is seeking bids for an annual contract (BL003-25) for comprehensive carpet and upholstery cleaning services across multiple county facilities, including Support Services, Police Services, Fire & Emergency Services, Community Services, and Sheriff's Office locations. The procurement encompasses over 1 million square feet of cleaning services, with requirements for scheduled cleanings at predetermined intervals and emergency cleaning requests that must be completed within 24 hours. Contractors must maintain Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI)-certified equipment less than 10 years old and employ technicians with current OSHA 10 certification. The bid is structured into six sections with varying service frequencies, and pricing must be submitted per square foot for carpet cleaning, protection, and sanitization, as well as per piece for upholstery cleaning. Bids are due by 2:50 P.M. local time on January 3, 2025, with contractors required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage including $2M in Commercial General Liability, $1M in Auto Liability, statutory Workers Compensation, and Umbrella coverage based on contract value.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the solicitation documents. The contract allows for four potential renewal options, with the initial contract term requiring firm pricing and potential price adjustments during renewal periods. Emergency service requests will be priced at regular rates with a single trip charge. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the comprehensive nature of the cleaning services suggests a potentially significant annual contract value. The detailed specifications indicate a preference for professional, well-equipped service providers with demonstrated technical expertise in commercial cleaning services. Insurance and certification requirements suggest the county is seeking experienced, financially stable contractors with a proven track record of delivering high-quality cleaning services across diverse municipal facilities.
