Janitorial Services

The state of Kansas, through the Kansas Department of Administration, Office of Procurement and Contracts, is seeking proposals for janitorial services at the Kansas Department of Agriculture's Manhattan Headquarters office, which is approximately 20,000 square feet. The contract period is from the date of award through April 1, 2028, with two optional 12-month renewal periods. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 17, 2024, and all questions must be submitted in writing by April 24, 2024. Bids are due by May 1, 2024, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The services will be performed five days per week, Monday through Friday, outside of regular business hours. The RFP outlines detailed specifications and a task schedule for the janitorial services, including daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual tasks. Bidders must provide pricing for the monthly/annual cost, as well as for floor stripping/waxing and carpet cleaning. Bidders must also provide proof of liability, property damage, and fidelity insurance coverage. Award will be made to the responsive bidder whose proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the State.

The State of Kansas has enacted bidder preference programs for certified businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses, which bidders can claim if eligible. The RFP notes that the State requires bidders to obtain a current tax clearance certificate and comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the RFP does not provide a specific award value or budget range.
