Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
This request for proposal for the full-service janitorial contract was initially awarded to American Facility Services in July 2021 with a start date of August 1, 2021. This janitorial contract is a full-service agreement that provides janitorial services for City Hall, Library, Police Administration, Brawner Hall, Fire Station #1, Recycling Center, Wolfe Center, and Community Center. The review team ranked American Facility Services as the highest ranking firm based on providing comparable services to many public agencies. General Building Maintenance, Inc. was ranked second during that process.
Since the start of the contract with American Facility, there have been constant issues due to staffing and GCIC compliance. On Feb 14, 2022, the contractually required 30-day notice was given to terminate the contract. City purchasing staff began negotiations with the 2nd bidder, General Building Maintenance, Inc. about taking over janitorial services. General Building Maintenance will begin services March 21, 2022. The contract amount will be $175,823.40.
