Services encompass routine cleaning, sanitation, waste removal, and restocking of City-supplied paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap) at administrative offices, fire stations, parks, recreation centers, and maintenance shops.

An initial 30-day deep cleaning is mandatory, followed by ongoing weekly, monthly, and annual service obligations. The vendor must furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, materials, tools, chemicals, and transportation costs; pricing shall be submitted on a per-square-foot basis for routine services, with vendors calculating total monthly costs by facility based on square footage and required frequency. Optional add-on pricing for deep cleaning, floor treatment, carpet extraction, window washing, and emergency services may be submitted on an hourly or per-unit basis.

The vendor must maintain Worker's Compensation Insurance with employer's liability coverage of at least $1 million, General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence, and Automobile Liability coverage of $1 million. The vendor is responsible for criminal background checks on all personnel, excluding those with felony convictions within the past ten years, violent crimes or crimes involving theft or dishonesty within ten years, and registered sex offenders. Payment terms are net 30 days following invoice and service acceptance. The City reserves the right to terminate for convenience with 20 days' written notice or for cause with 15 days to cure breaches. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on quality, performance, and service specifications.
