The City of Fort Myers is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive janitorial services across 26 municipal locations through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 26-004, representing the city's first attempt to consolidate janitorial services under a single contract. The scope encompasses general janitorial maintenance for facilities including City Hall, fire and police departments, parks and recreation centers, utilities operations, and wastewater plants, with services covering restroom sanitization, floor care, trash removal, and recycling management. Mandatory minimum qualifications for contractors include three years of operation under the current business name, Florida business licensing, and a background check program for all site-access personnel. A mandatory pre-submittal meeting and site tour is scheduled for December 2, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at Fort Myers City Hall, with electronic submissions due January 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. through the OpenGov portal. Contractors must submit pricing for various service groups, including standard janitorial services, disaster preparation and relief, special events, pressure cleaning, and additional specialized cleaning services. All contractor employees must be registered with the E-Verify system, and comprehensive insurance coverage is required before work commences.

The contract allows for potential participation by Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), with suppliers required to register with the Planet Bids portal and maintain current contact information. The contract is partially or wholly funded by federal financial assistance, including potential FEMA funding for disaster-related services, which triggers additional compliance requirements under 2 CFR Part 200. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract term is five years from the last executed signature date, with potential month-to-month extensions thereafter. The City will supply basic paper and plastic products, while contractors are responsible for all other cleaning supplies and equipment. No minimum order quantities or guaranteed service volumes are specified, and the City retains the right to perform services using city personnel or secure services from alternative sources. Insurance requirements include general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation coverage. The contract does not constitute an exclusive arrangement, providing flexibility for the City in service procurement.
