The contract requires comprehensive cleaning services to be performed three days per week, covering tasks such as emptying waste baskets, mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, dusting furniture, vacuuming carpeted areas, and maintaining general facility cleanliness. The contract period is from September 1, 2019, through June 30, 2023, with potential extension up to three months at the Commonwealth's discretion. Prospective bidders must complete a mandatory site visit and obtain a signed Proof of Visit Form from the Station Commander or representative prior to submitting a bid.

The bid was posted on July 10, 2019, with a submission deadline of July 12, 2019. Interested vendors must undergo a federal fingerprint background check in accordance with CJIS Security Policy, which involves state and national criminal history record checks for all staff performing services at the facility.

This procurement opportunity is specifically set aside for Small Business vendors, who must self-certify through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Vendors must obtain a Small Business certification and provide documentation demonstrating their qualification status. The contract requires all janitorial staff to be thoroughly vetted through comprehensive background checks, with fingerprints being used to conduct state and federal criminal history reviews. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be a standard service procurement for a state police facility. Prospective bidders should be prepared to provide all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to complete the specified janitorial services, with an understanding that no additional compensation will be awarded due to unfamiliarity with the facility's conditions. Vendors must be prepared to comply with all security protocols, including signing in and out of the station log book during each visit and following strict guidelines for facility access and maintenance.
