Janitorial Services – Hiawatha DCF Office

The Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) is seeking competitive proposals from qualified vendors for janitorial services at the Hiawatha DCF Office. The contract period is from December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2029, with the first three months as a probationary period. The successful contractor will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining approximately 7,080 square feet of office space twice per week after 5:00 PM, providing all necessary equipment and supplies except for certain items like toilet paper and light bulbs. Bidders must have a minimum of three years' experience in cleaning commercial office buildings of a similar size and frequency, and the agency reserves the right to approve or replace any of the contractor's employees. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 5, 2024, and proposals are due by October 8, 2024 at 2:00 PM CDT.

The RFP outlines bidder preference programs such as the Disabled Veteran Owned Business program and the Certified Business Bidder Preference program, and the State of Kansas encourages contractors to take steps to discourage human trafficking. The RFP also specifies the use of a State of Kansas Procurement Card for contract purchases and reserves the right for the State to confirm the tax status of all potential contractors and subcontractors prior to award. The estimated value of the contract is not provided, but the RFP requires pricing on a monthly and annual basis, with an additional cost for grout cleaning and re-sealing as needed.
