Janitorial Services for Solid Waste

Pinellas County Solid Waste issued an Invitation to Quote for janitorial services at five solid waste facilities in St. Petersburg, Florida, with proposals due September 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Pinellas County Certified Small Business Enterprises receive preference: SBEs submitting within the first five business days are eligible for award consideration, and those submitting after that window receive a five percent price preference.

The scope covers daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic cleaning across 25,202 square feet: the Administration Building (16,200 sq ft), Scalehouse (2,076 sq ft), Integrated Waste Transfer Facility (1,364 sq ft), Household Hazardous Waste facility (2,800 sq ft), and Maintenance facility (2,762 sq ft). Cleaning runs Monday through Friday, 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. The Service Schedule organizes thirteen facility areas into three service levels (High Traffic, Medium Traffic, and Garage & Warehouse), with daily restroom sanitation, daily cleaning of the scalehouse public restroom, and enhanced sanitization of detention areas. The contractor must comply with the ISSA Clean Standard, supply all cleaning chemicals, equipment, tools, and personal protective equipment, and disarm and rearm each building daily. The County supplies specified consumables unless otherwise agreed. All personnel require Pinellas County Sheriff's Office background checks and facility access credentials. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, commercial general liability with a $1.0 million combined single limit, business automobile liability of $1.0 million, and crime/fidelity insurance of $100,000.

The contract is firm, fixed-price, with a primary term of 60 months from award and two optional 12-month extensions, contingent on written agreement and unchanged pricing. Pricing is submitted monthly for each location, with unit costs held firm. After the first 12 months, contractors may request annual adjustments tied to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index, submitted 90 to 120 days before each contract anniversary and not exceeding the relevant index change.

Site visits may be scheduled in advance through Michael Merrell at (727) 464-7725, and scope discussions are not permitted during facility tours. Submissions are electronic through the OpenGov procurement portal. The most recent file, Addendum #3 Revision posted September 16, 2026, confirms the September 22 deadline.
