Question 1

Posted: 6/10/2024

Question: Who is the incumbent? What is the current contract value including all option years? Is there a square foot breakdown of flooring by type? How many cleaning technicians are required? Will there be a site visit?

Response: 1. Who is the incumbent? ABBCO 2. What is the current contract value including all option years? you can request this information with our custodian of records. 3. Is there a square foot breakdown of flooring by type? NO, but we have carpet, VCT and quarry tile 4. How many cleaning technicians are required? We are paying by square feet - how many people you put in place is the company's decision. 5. Will there be a site visit? Yes, on June 18th beginning at 1:30pm

Question 2

Posted: 6/11/2024

Question: What time of day does the district prefer or require services to be performed? i.e. Day time only? Day time and evenings/after school hours?

Response: Evening hours / after 330 pm.

Question 3

Posted: 6/12/2024

Question: If we are only working on school days (the district has 175 days listed for the school year), how many hours per day are we expected to spend at each school? Example: Timberland will probably need more than one cleaner there all day of every school day to fulfill the entire scope and keep the school clean. However, Berry Place and REACH may only need one cleaner there for say 4 hours per day each school day.

Response: The custodial staff work year round. The contracted cleaning company will be expected to work the same schedule as the custodial staff. If school is called off due to inclement weather, the custodial staff is still responsible for working and clearing snow from the sidewalks. The contracted cleaning company will be paid by the square foot of the building and not by hours worked. You will determine how many staff you will need to clean each building and how long they will be expected to work.
