Purchase of Janitorial Supplies on a Six-Month Co

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is requesting bids on janitorial supplies under a six-month contract (BL116-21) with three optional six-month renewal periods, with bids due October 28, 2021 at 2:50 p.m. and questions due October 21, 2021 at 12:00 p.m.

The scope comprises 118 line items across general cleaners, soap products, laundry products, industrial products, kitchen products, floor products, and miscellaneous supplies — including sweeping compound, degreasers, disinfectants, air fresheners, furniture polish, window cleaner, drain cleaners, mildew stain removers, antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizers, disinfecting wipes, lotion hand soaps, and foam soaps. Approximate quantities range from two units to over 8,400 units per item. Bidders need not quote every line item; unmarked items may be noted as "N/B" or left blank. Bidders must submit complete bid schedules with packaging specifications, manufacturer information, product numbers, and delivery timelines. Samples may be required for evaluation prior to award at the bidder's expense.

Delivery is F.O.B. Destination to multiple county facilities: Correctional Complex, Detention Center, Police Headquarters, Department of Water Resources, Parks and Recreation, Fire & Emergency Services, Fleet Management, Housekeeping/Building Services, Transportation Signal Shop, and Airport, with specified delivery windows for each location. Orders will be placed on an as-needed basis through purchase orders with no minimum or maximum quantities per order.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on correct lowest unit-of-measure pricing. Gwinnett County reserves the right to award by line item, by section, or to the overall low bidder based on uniformity and the county's best interest. Pricing and delivery terms must remain firm throughout the initial six-month contract period. Bids must be submitted in duplicate by mail or in person only; electronic submission is not permitted. Bids will be publicly opened and read at 3:00 p.m., with results available the following business day on www.gwinnettcounty.com. Three addenda were issued clarifying award methodology, unit-of-measure pricing calculations, and delivery terms; bidder acknowledgment of all addenda on the quote schedule is required.
