Janitorial Services

The City of Wheaton is requesting sealed proposals for janitorial services at multiple city facilities under RFP #26-105, with proposals due July 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (CST) and mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on July 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at Wheaton City Hall. Attendance at the pre-bid meeting is required for proposal submission eligibility. The Illinois Prevailing Wage Act (820 ILCS 130/1-12) applies, requiring contractors to pay prevailing wages for Du Page County.

Scope includes daily cleaning and scheduled seasonal cleaning at City Hall, City Hall Annex, Police Department, three Fire Department locations, Public Works, Water Department, two train stations, and two parking garages. The successful vendor must provide a day porter for four hours daily (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Monday through Friday, maintain 24-hour emergency availability, and comply with background checks and CJIS training for police department assignments.

Minimum qualifications are full-time commercial licensing, a minimum of five years' experience in municipal janitorial operations, and references from at least three commercial facilities or municipalities completed in the past 12 months. Pricing is time and material with unit prices and total prices on the Cost Proposal form. The contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with the City retaining the option to extend for two additional one-year terms.

Required submittals include cost proposals, notice of deviations, references, subcontractor listings, vendor certifications, a W-9 form, and a bid bond (10% of contract price). The successful vendor must provide certificates of insurance with endorsements and performance and janitorial fidelity bonds. The City intends to award to one vendor but reserves the right to award to multiple vendors if in its best interest. Questions are due July 16, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (CST).
