Citrus CHD Janitorial Services

The Florida Department of Health is soliciting sealed bids under ITB DOH26-007 for janitorial cleaning services at three Citrus County Health Department buildings, with mandatory site visits on October 29, 2026 and bids due November 30, 2026. No set-aside applies. The Department encourages participation by certified minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, but no specific set-asides are designated.

Scope covers daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cleaning, including floor maintenance, restroom sanitization, office cleaning, trash removal, and carpet steam cleaning with truck-mounted extraction. The contractor supplies all cleaning supplies and consumables, including trash liners, paper towels, hand soap, toilet paper, and disinfectants. Contractor staff must be bonded for fidelity and complete Level 2 background screening before starting work. The awardee must register in MyFloridaMarketplace within five days of the intent-to-award posting.

Work is performed at Lecanto Main (3700 W. Sovereign Path) and Community Health (3650 W. Sovereign Path), both in Lecanto, and Inverness WIC (130 N. Montgomery Avenue), Inverness. Mandatory site visits run at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 12:00 p.m. on October 29.

The initial term is three years beginning February 1, 2027, with up to three one-year renewal options, contingent upon satisfactory performance and legislative appropriation. Award goes to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder on a fixed-price basis. Bidders price monthly for each location, multiplied by 36 months for the initial term and 12 months per renewal year, and the grand total must include all costs with no additional charges permitted. The price page format must remain unchanged, and modifications may render a bid non-responsive. Bidders must certify agreement to the ITB terms, conditions, and specifications, and submit certifications covering scrutinized companies, non-collusion, vendor registration, drug-free workplace standards, and prohibition on coercion for labor.
