Municipal Building & Police Department Cleaning Services

Wayne Township is requesting proposals for cleaning services at its Municipal Building and Police Department, both located at 475 Valley Road, Wayne, New Jersey, with proposals due September 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. via the Township's e-Procurement Portal (ProcureNow). A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 9, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Municipal Building and is strongly recommended but not mandatory.

Services are required Monday through Friday, 4:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m. (Tuesday hours 6:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.) at both locations with a minimum of two employees, and Saturday through Sunday, 4:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m. at the Police Department only with a minimum of one employee. All work must be completed within four-hour minimum shifts daily. The contractor must supply all cleaning products, equipment, labor, and materials at its own expense; the Township provides restroom paper products and trash liners. Staff must wear company-identified shirts and be able to read and speak English. All employees require background checks, and employees must be bonded at a $25,000 minimum limit.

The contract term is up to one year from the start date (no later than 21 days after award), with three additional one-year renewal options at the Township's discretion. Pricing is submitted as a monthly lump sum. The Township retains the right to adjust quantities and reserves no guaranteed minimum purchase. No work is performed on designated Township holidays. Liquidated damages of $500 per working day apply for failure to complete work as specified.

The contractor must provide comprehensive insurance: workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 each occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and umbrella/excess liability ($1,000,000 minimum). Contractors must submit a Statement of References and Contracts on Hand demonstrating relevant cleaning services experience. Evaluation criteria allocate 30 points to general and technical criteria, 35 points to management experience and qualifications, and 35 points to cost. Compliance with New Jersey equal employment opportunity provisions, non-discrimination laws, business registration, and OFAC sanctions screening is mandatory.
