Janitorial Services at Fort Worth City Hall

The City of Fort Worth is requesting proposals for janitorial services at Fort Worth City Hall on an "as needed" basis under RFP 26-0243, with proposals due August 27, 2026. The procurement carries a mandatory 30% small business participation goal — certified small business firms must represent at least 30% of the total awarded contract value.

Vendors must have a minimum of five consecutive years of janitorial services experience. The scope includes sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dusting, disinfecting, scrubbing, trash and recycling removal, and major floor maintenance. The awarded vendor furnishes all necessary labor, equipment, and supplies; the City provides paper and soap products (toilet paper, paper towels, seat covers, feminine hygiene products, hand and body soap, and shampoo), though reserves the right to require the vendor to furnish these items temporarily or permanently at cost plus markup. Pricing shall include hourly rates for janitorial services, square-footage pricing for hard-floor maintenance (stripping and waxing), and a percentage markup over vendor costs for consumable stocking supplies.

The contract term is one year from City Council approval, with renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms at the City's discretion. Personnel must pass drug screening and criminal background checks, and the vendor must maintain I-9 documentation and implement a remote electronic timekeeping system. All staff must comply with federal minimum wage requirements.

Evaluation criteria are cost (up to 20 points), small business participation (up to 25 points), qualifications and experience (up to 30 points), and technical resources (up to 25 points). Vendors must score a minimum of 50 points on non-price criteria to be considered. Proposals must address qualifications, experience, training programs, chemical lists, uniform photographs, management staff resumes, organizational charts, and pricing structures. Payment terms are Net 30 Days from invoice date.
