A resident disabled veteran preference or enterprise zone business preference may apply if requested and properly documented.

The scope encompasses janitorial services across a multi-building healthcare campus in Lincoln, Nebraska, with detailed facility maps provided covering Buildings #3, #5, #5A, #9, #10, and #14 across multiple floors and functional areas including patient care, administrative, and support spaces. The contract is non-exclusive. The four-year initial term begins upon execution with no renewal options, though the State reserves the right to extend by mutual agreement. Pricing is fixed for the four-year term; price increases may not exceed 3% of the current period price and require written submission at least 120 days prior to period end, subject to State approval.

Bidders must submit monthly unit pricing per square foot for each of four 12-month service years, with invoices paid monthly on an F.O.B. destination basis. Optional services — including carpet extraction and shampooing, hard surface floor stripping and waxing, emergency on-call work, and services outside RFP scope — must be quoted separately on the cost sheet. Part I Initial Contract Period Total Cost is used for evaluation.

Evaluation comprises Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (55 points), and Cost (20 points), for a total of 100 points; optional vendor demonstrations add up to 20 points. Cost scoring uses comparative methodology: the lowest realistic cost submitted receives maximum 20 points; all other costs are scored as (Lowest Cost Submitted ÷ Cost Submitted) × 20. Responses must include a signed Contractual Agreement Form (ink or DocuSign), Corporate Overview, completed Technical Response and Cost Sheet, and acceptance or exceptions to terms and conditions. Mandatory requirements determine responsiveness; proposals failing to meet them may be deemed non-responsive.
