Re: Authorize staff to Issue an RFP for Janitorial Services for the Community Center
Agenda Item#: S.n)
Background:
The City last issued an RFP for Janitorial Services for the Community Center in May 2011. At
the time 18 businesses and individuals were invited to submit a proposal. Three proposals were
received in 2011. The lowest bid was Loiselle's Building Maintenance and the contract was
awarded to them in July. The contract had a one year term with an automatic renewal. However,
the contract may be canceled with 60 days notice by either party.
I met with Kraig Loiselle on October 10�'to discuss some areas of concern that had been brought
to my attention by staff and visitors to the community center. Since those areas of concern were
not rectified, I am proposing the City seek proposals for cleaning services.
Issue:
Should the City of Scandia issue a Request for Proposals for Janitorial Services for the
Community Center?
Proposal Details:
The proposed services to be covered in the RFP are attached. Area cleaning businesses would be
contacted directly,the RFP would be posted on the City's website, and an ad would be placed in
local newspapers.
Proposals would be due approximately one month after the RFP was posted. The Council could
then review the proposals and decide if a new provider is in order. If so,the 60 day notice would
be given to Loiselle's. The Council would approve a new contract at the following Council
meeting. The new provider would take over in early 2013.
Fiscal Impact:
Minimal cost for postage and ads. The current contract has a monthly fee of$545 with
additional costs for floor care services.
Options:
1) Authorize staff to issue the RFP for Janitorial Services for the Community Center
2) Take no action and continue with Loiselle building Maintenance
Recommendation:
Option 1.
