Janitorial Services Bid

The State of Idaho's Division of Purchasing has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for janitorial services specifically for the Idaho State Police (ISP) District 4 office located in Jerome, ID. The procurement seeks a janitorial services contract beginning March 1, 2024, with options for three additional one-year extensions, covering approximately 13,400 square feet of building space. Required services include comprehensive cleaning tasks such as vacuuming carpeted areas, dusting offices and surfaces, emptying trash, washing windows, shampooing carpets, cleaning light fixtures, and sanitizing restrooms. A mandatory pre-quote site tour is required, with vendors needing to submit a signed site tour verification. Quotes are due by February 23, 2024, and will be evaluated using a weighted criteria of 60% for lowest cost and 40% for references. The successful contractor must complete background checks and fingerprinting for all staff members, with the option to use subcontractors for specialized services. The state will provide paper products and hand soap, while the contractor must supply all other cleaning supplies and equipment.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the solicitation documents. The contract allows for subcontractors and does not appear to have restrictions limiting participation based on business size or type. Invoicing will be conducted monthly, and either party may terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice. The state reserves the right to request additional service hours and can require the contractor to remedy any service deficiencies at the contractor's expense. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the evaluation criteria suggest cost will be a significant factor in vendor selection. The contract includes provisions for the contractor to be responsible for maintaining an acceptable level of janitorial service, with potential financial implications for substandard performance. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and the contracting agency to be named as additional insured parties.
