Residential Life Buildings Professional Cleaning

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Purchasing Department is soliciting a Request for Bid (RFB) numbered GBTO 6661A for professional cleaning services of residential life buildings. The procurement covers comprehensive deep cleaning of 178 university apartments and dormitory rooms across six residential halls during a compressed timeframe in May 2018. The contract is divided into four distinct lots: Lot A encompasses 57 apartments in Ed Thompson and Tom Haevers Halls, Lot B includes 63 apartments in Richard Liebl and Keith Pamperin Halls, Lot C comprises 56 apartments in John Robishaw and Donald Harden Halls, and Lot D is an alternate for 120 single-bedroom dormitory rooms. The cleaning services must meet specific standards outlined in attached cleaning requirement documents, with joint inspections conducted by UWGB staff and the contractor. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site walkthrough was scheduled for Tuesday, April 3, 2018, at 1:00 PM, with sealed bids due on Tuesday, April 10, 2018, at 2:00 PM CDT. Award will be made to the lowest qualified bidder per lot, with bids remaining firm for acceptance for 60 days from the bid opening date.

The contract includes provisions for minority business enterprise preferences under Wisconsin Statutes section 16.75(3m) for vendors certified by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, as well as work center certifications for organizations employing persons with severe disabilities. Bidders must comply with standard Wisconsin procurement terms, including nondiscrimination requirements and insurance specifications of workers' compensation and commercial liability with a minimum $1,000,000 coverage. The university will supply certain materials for the cleaning project, including lamps, shower curtains, safety screwdrivers, keys for AC cord locks, tin foil, blue tape, and inspection sheets. Contractors must be prepared to remediate any non-compliance issues at no additional cost, with joint inspections determining the acceptability of completed cleaning work. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the cleaning services across multiple residential facilities suggests a substantial contract value. The procurement allows for potential partial award, with bidders able to submit proposals for individual lots or the entire project.
