C5613491-D - Janitorial Services

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is requesting bids for janitorial services at Folsom State Prison (300 Prison Road, Represa, California) under IFB C5613491-D, with bids due August 19, 2026 at 11:00 AM and public bid opening on August 20 at 2:00 PM. A minimum 25% Small Business participation requirement applies; a 5% Small Business/Micro Business preference applies to certified small businesses with no bid reduction exceeding $50,000, and a 1% to 5% DVBE incentive applies to responsive bids proposing Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation.

The scope covers as-needed janitorial services upon vacancy of state-owned rental housing units ranging from approximately 900 to 1,800 square feet, with comprehensive cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, hallways, dining rooms, bedrooms, utility rooms, stairs, glass sliding doors, porches/patios, and garages to render units move-in ready. All labor, materials, non-consumable supplies, transportation, cleaning supplies, and equipment are included in the contractor's pricing. Work is performed during normal business hours between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays, on a schedule set by the institution contact liaison.

California Government Code Section 19134 mandates employee benefit provisions: a minimum hourly wage of $16.31 and a blended benefit rate of $15.51. Contractors must provide health, dental, vision, holiday pay, vacation, and retirement benefits or equivalent cash-in-lieu payments totaling no less than 85% of state employee benefits for similar work. The rate sheet estimates two employees working 100 hours per year; bidders must specify hourly rates for salary, benefit allowance, and administrative overhead/indirect costs as a percentage, with all pricing multiplied by three years. Failure to bid any line item results in bid rejection. A minimum 1% early-payment discount (minimum $50) is permitted; in case of tie bids, the highest discount prevails.

The contract term runs from approval through September 30, 2029. Contractors must maintain valid California business licenses, obtain applicable cleaning service licenses and permits, undergo CLETS clearance for employees, and maintain Commercial General Liability, Automobile, and Workers' Compensation insurance. Award goes to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid complies with all requirements. Payment is made in arrears monthly upon invoice approval with supporting documentation.
