Janitorial Services: Whitehaven I-24 Rest Area & WC

This state and local contract opportunity is for janitorial services at the Whitehaven I-24 Rest Area & Welcome Center in McCracken County, Kentucky. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases is issuing a Request for Bids (RFB) for a one-year contract, with four optional one-year renewals, to provide labor, equipment, materials, and supplies for daily custodial and grounds maintenance at the rest area facilities. The successful bidder will be responsible for meeting detailed performance requirements, staffing levels, uniform standards, and background check procedures. Bids will be evaluated based on the bidder's price and experience, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest price. Payment will be made based on the actual work performed, and the Commonwealth reserves the right to terminate the contract or impose liquidated damages for unsatisfactory performance.

The RFB allows for bidders to claim "qualified bidder status" if they employ individuals with disabilities to perform at least 75% of the contract work hours. Qualified bidders must provide documentation on a monthly basis to demonstrate compliance. The Commonwealth requires the completion of an Annual Affidavit for Bidders, Offerors and Contractors, attesting that the award of the contract will not violate any campaign finance laws. The estimated contract value is not provided, but the Commonwealth has set a bid submission deadline of June 21, 2023 at 1:30 PM EDT.
