The scope encompasses routine monthly custodial and janitorial tasks — floor care, restroom maintenance, trash removal, and general facility cleaning — plus per-occurrence services including window washing, stair and stairwell cleaning, door cleaning, and baseboard and register cleaning, each quoted at a frequency of four occurrences during specified periods. Bidders must submit monthly pricing for routine tasks, per-occurrence pricing for each specified service, and an hourly labor rate for supplemental custodial work requested on an as-needed basis beyond the scope defined in Appendix B.

The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year extensions, spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2027. Pricing submissions must cover the initial period and each optional extension year, with cumulative five-year total cost calculation. The bid worksheet template requires bidders to complete organization name, monthly routine pricing, per-occurrence pricing, and hourly labor rates for additional services per solicitation instructions.

Vendors must review technical specifications, insurance requirements, and bonding obligations in the RFQ materials prior to submission to ensure compliance with state procurement standards. The State of Maine may apply set-aside preferences or requirements for small businesses or local vendors as applicable under state procurement regulations, though specific preference details are not identified in the available summary materials.
