Janitorial Services-Codorus State Park

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, is seeking janitorial services for Codorus State Park, located in York County, specifically for the Park Office/Visitors Center building and Black Rock Lodge in Hanover, PA. The procurement involves routine and semi-annual cleaning services, with contractors required to provide all cleaning products, equipment, and materials, while the park will supply basic consumables like toilet paper and trash bags. Deliverables include weekly cleaning of both facilities, with detailed checklists specifying tasks such as removing dust and debris, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, and reporting maintenance issues. The solicitation (Solicitation Number 6100055738) was originally posted on April 15, 2022, with subsequent addenda issued on April 28, 2022, and the final bid due date set for May 2, 2022, at 2:00 PM. Bidders are required to visit the site prior to submitting a bid and must be familiar with the specific cleaning requirements outlined in the Statement of Work. The contract term is from June 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, with options to renew for up to three additional one-year terms.

The contract is exclusively reserved for small businesses certified through the Pennsylvania Department of General Services' self-certification process, with bidders required to submit proof of certification alongside their proposal. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to terminate the contract for convenience, non-appropriation of funds, or default. Payment will be made on a reimbursement basis for actual services satisfactorily performed, with monthly invoices required. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but bidders will be expected to provide comprehensive pricing for the routine and semi-annual cleaning services. Performance standards are strict, with potential non-payment for unsatisfactory cleaning and the possibility of contract termination. Contractors must also provide worker protection and investment certifications with their bids. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the detailed cleaning checklists and schedules suggest a structured approach to maintaining the park's facilities that has likely been in place previously.
