About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a janitorial services contractor for the Fergus Falls DNR Consolidated Office, located in Otter Tail County. The solicitation, numbered 2025-701, requires comprehensive cleaning services for approximately 13,000 square feet of office space, with work to be performed on weekends between 5:00 pm Friday and 7:00 am Monday. Specific cleaning duties include weekly cleaning services, interior window washing twice per year, wall washing twice per year, and comprehensive surface cleaning six times annually. The contractor must provide all cleaning supplies, equipment, and personnel, with the DNR supplying basic consumables like hand soap and toilet tissue. Bidders are required to submit proposals electronically through the Swift Portal by April 10, 2025, with the contract term spanning from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. Evaluation criteria include compliance with specifications, unit pricing that encompasses all associated costs, and the ability to meet the DNR's cleaning standards. Potential bidders are encouraged to visit the site before submitting a proposal and can seek assistance from the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100.
The procurement opportunity emphasizes diversity and inclusion, with specific provisions encouraging participation from minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and disability-owned businesses. Contractors must meet stringent insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability coverage, with the State of Minnesota to be named as an additional insured. Background check compliance is mandatory, and contractors must use environmentally safe products and adhere to CDC cleaning recommendations. The state will award the contract to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, reserving the right to award items separately or by grouping to maximize state advantages. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the two-year contract suggests a substantial opportunity for a qualified janitorial service provider. Potential bidders must be registered in the Swift Portal and can claim Minnesota Resident Vendor status or potentially qualify for veteran-owned small business preferences.
