Janitorial Services - NDDOT Central Office

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive janitorial services for its Central Office located in Bismarck, North Dakota. The solicitation is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for maintaining a 120,000 square foot, four-story building, with work to be performed daily Monday through Friday between 5:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. CST. The contract period spans from October 2, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with potential renewals for up to three additional 12-month periods, not exceeding 48 months total. Required qualifications include conducting a mandatory site visit, providing two references (one from a similar-sized project), and submitting detailed service proposals. The bid requires a monthly pricing structure and encompasses extensive daily tasks such as waste management, restroom cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, floor mopping, glass surface cleaning, and security checks. Periodic cleaning responsibilities include weekly, monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual maintenance. The bid opening is scheduled for September 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with contractors responsible for supplying all labor, equipment, cleaning supplies, and materials.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the bid includes critical operational stipulations that potential contractors must meet. Bidders must comply with background check requirements and obtain identification badges for staff, adhering to specific safety and confidentiality guidelines. The NDDOT will evaluate contractors based on their ability to maintain professional standards, with the understanding that failure to meet specifications could result in contract termination. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a substantial annual contract value, reflective of maintaining a large, multi-story government office building. The procurement allows for potential multi-year engagement through renewal options, providing stability for both the NDDOT and the selected janitorial service provider. Contractors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in facility maintenance, professional conduct, and adherence to detailed performance expectations across various cleaning and maintenance domains.
