Title
Contract for Janitorial Services (B)
Explanation
Janitorial contracts for various GRU buildings and plants are required to maintain the facilities. General cleaning along with bi-annual carpet cleaning and floor waxing is included in the service requirements. Each facility's contract is administered individually since each has unique requirements. Existing contracts for janitorial services for these facilities are expiring; therefore, new contracts for this service are required.
A Request for Quotation was sent to thirteen prospective businesses. Five companies attended a mandatory walk-through meeting and four responded with quotations. A tabulation of the quotations is attached for your information.
Coverall of North Central Florida utilizes local franchise owners to perform the janitorial services and provides administrative support, training and insurance to the franchisees. Coverall currently manages janitorial services at four other GRU facilities and has performed well.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) authorize the General Manager, or his designee to execute contracts with Coverall of North Central Florida, for janitorial services for the Deerhaven Generating Station and System Control Center, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality; and 2) approve the issuance of purchase orders to Coverall of North Central Florida in amounts not exceeding $29,000 for a one year period, commencing July 2005.
Fiscal Note
Funds for these services have been included in the Utilities budgets.
