DHR Janitorial Central Region selected counties

The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) is seeking janitorial service providers for multiple counties in the Central Region, including Conecuh, Mobile, and St. Clair Counties, among others. The procurement involves a multi-year contract for comprehensive janitorial services at various DHR county facilities, with building sizes ranging from approximately 5,152 to 35,508 square feet. Services include daily nightly cleaning between 3:00 PM and midnight, and quarterly cleaning services divided into Fall/Spring quarters (with floor waxing) and Winter/Summer quarters (without floor waxing). All potential bidders are required to attend a mandatory one-time site visit, with tentative dates scheduled between August 30 and September 25, 2024. Suppliers must provide an adequate number of screened employees, use sign-in sheets and service checklists, and ensure all personnel have no criminal convictions related to violent offenses, sex crimes, or crimes against children, elderly, or disabled individuals. The bid is scheduled to open on December 23rd, 2024, with proposals due prior to that date, and the initial contract term is 12 months with options to extend for four additional 12-month periods.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with awards potentially made on a per-location basis. Suppliers must maintain a minimum of $100,000 in liability insurance with $50,000 per occurrence and provide three references with comparable or larger square footage experience. While no specific incumbent vendors are identified, the procurement documents suggest this is a renewal or replacement of existing janitorial service contracts. The contract requires suppliers to provide all materials and supplies necessary for service delivery, with potential price adjustments considered for significant material or labor cost increases, not to exceed Consumer Price Index changes. Although no precise budget range is specified, the breadth of facilities across multiple counties and the requirement for comprehensive cleaning services indicates a potentially substantial contract value.
