Cleaning Services Competitive Contract

The Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority (WMUA) in Burlington County, New Jersey, is soliciting competitive bids for Custodial Services (Contract #25-07) across multiple municipal facilities, including the Administration Building, "The Annex", and the Laboratory & Restrooms at the Pollution Control Plant. The procurement seeks a comprehensive cleaning services provider capable of performing nightly custodial work after 5pm, with specific requirements including garbage removal, surface cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, restroom maintenance, and annual rug shampooing. Bidders must demonstrate at least one year of similar service experience, possess current business registration, and maintain appropriate liability insurance. The evaluation process will utilize a weighted scoring methodology: 40% managerial considerations, 40% technical capabilities, and 20% cost analysis. The bid is scheduled to be due on April 15, 2025, at 10:15am, with submissions conducted through the electronic procurement platform BIDNET. A Zoom meeting (Meeting ID: 834 6599 0135, Passcode: 389234) is available for potential bidders to obtain additional information, and technical support can be reached at 1-800-835-4603, option #2.

The contract allows for a potential five-year duration at WMUA's discretion, with the successful vendor responsible for providing all cleaning equipment, solvents, and chemical agents while complying with the New Jersey Right to Know Law. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination guidelines. The procurement requires vendors to supply their own cleaning equipment, including mops, buckets, vacuum cleaners, dusting supplies, and necessary personal protective equipment. The municipal authority will provide bulk consumables such as toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap, with the expectation that the vendor will manage restocking. Although a specific contract value is not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the services and multi-year potential suggests a substantial financial opportunity for the selected vendor. Interested bidders must carefully review all documentation, including the primary solicitation and Addendum #1, and ensure full compliance with all specified requirements and regulations.
