Janitorial Services - Great Bend DLEX

The Kansas Department of Revenue is seeking competitive proposals for janitorial services at the Great Bend Driver's License Examination (DLEX) Office, located at 3520 Lakin Ave in Barber County, Kansas. The procurement covers approximately 1,125 square feet of office space, with services to be performed twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays outside of regular working hours. Qualified vendors must be Kansas-based companies with a minimum of three years of commercial office cleaning experience and must provide two in-state references. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 11:00 am, and failure to attend will result in bid rejection. The contract period spans five years, from the date of full execution through November 30, 2030. Bidders must submit monthly and annual pricing, along with additional pricing for specialized services like floor stripping/waxing and carpet cleaning. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, experience, references, and the ability to meet detailed cleaning specifications for floors, washrooms, and general areas.

The procurement includes several set-aside and preference considerations, including potential advantages for disabled veteran-owned businesses and certified businesses. Vendors must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate and comply with various state requirements, including submitting forms related to boycott of Israel, sexual harassment, immigration reform, and immigration control. Strict security requirements are mandated, including comprehensive background checks for all personnel, with employees subject to rigorous screening processes involving Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background checks. The contractor must provide all cleaning supplies, equipment, and materials, and carry comprehensive liability insurance and a fidelity bond. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the five-year contract duration suggests a potentially significant financial opportunity. Payment terms are net 30 days, with no price adjustments permitted during the contract term, and the state will observe specific holidays as outlined in the contract documents.
