The contract carries a local-vendor preference for Douglas County occupants whose bid falls within 5 percent of the low out-of-county bid, though this preference does not apply to contracts exceeding $100,000.

Services include day porter coverage during business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), basic cleaning, floor care maintenance, and bi-annual or annual specialized services such as strip and wax treatments. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, cleaning supplies, supervision, and materials. Specific facility locations, points of contact, and cleaning frequency vary by department and are detailed in the property inventory spreadsheet.

The initial contract term runs January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027, with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, with renewal decisions made 60 days prior to expiration. The contractor must furnish a 5 percent bid bond and performance and labor and material payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the yearly contract price. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, employers liability of at least $500,000, auto liability of $1,000,000, comprehensive general liability of $1,000,000, and professional errors and omissions of $1,000,000. Payment terms are Net 30.

Bidders must comply with the Georgia Security and Immigration Act, maintain E-Verify registration and participation throughout the contract term (or face material breach), and certify no conflicts of interest, collusion, or non-compliance with drug-free workplace policies. Questions are due August 12, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EDT. All bids must remain firm for 90 days following opening.
