Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Agreement With Andrews Building Services, LLC Pursuant To RFP #25-009 For Citywide Janitorial Services In An Amount Not To Exceed $764,831.00 For The First Year And For An 8-Year Total Amount Not To Exceed $6,773,735.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This agreement is to provide janitorial and related cleaning services for approximately nineteen (19) City facilities, representing approximately 355,006 square feet of space. The selected vendor, Andrews Building Services, LLC will provide all labor, supplies and materials, equipment, tools, as well as plan, manage, schedule, coordinate, and ensure effective delivery of all services within the performance-based framework of the agreement.
In late 2024, Facilities staff hired Core Management Services, LLC (“Core”) to assist with development of a new, janitorial services bid. Core toured each facility, established a baseline of cleaning standards that are in-line with our current services, and met with department stakeholders including Facilities, Recreation, Library Services, PD, Animal Services, and Public Works, to identify a needs list for future services. Core incorporated that analysis and benchmarked the feedback into a detailed cleaning plan for each facility that was broken down into industry standard daily, weekly and monthly services and a la carte services that departments can opt into at their own cost.
On May 6, 2025, the City issued RFP #25-009 for Citywide Janitorial Services using the updated scope of work and service requests. Notifications were posted online, previous and interested vendors were contacted and advertisements placed in the Dallas Morning News. Eleven (11) vendors submitted responses.
An evaluation committee comprised of department stakeholders, including Facilities, Parks, Public Works, Police, and representatives from City Hall, reviewed the submissions on criteria related to experience, operational planning and pricing. Four (4) vendors were selected for in-person interviews, where the evaluation committee was able to ask additional questions and gain additional information on the potential management of this contract. Following the interviews, Andrews Building Services, LLC was selected as the new vendor for the City.
The award will be for a four-year initial term starting October 1, 2025. The award also includes two additional two-year renewal options, if mutually agreed upon by the City and the vendors, for a potential eight-year total contract not to exceed $6,773,735.00. The total contract amount includes 10% contingency for the a la carte services and yearly 3% price escalators over the potential eight-year term.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the standard daily, weekly and monthly cleaning services will be paid out of 161001-Facility Services. Additional services will be paid for by the departments out of various accounts.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project supports and aligns with the City Council’s goals and objectives to manage infrastructure with fiduciary care.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Andrews Building Services, LLC pursuant to RFP #25-009 for Citywide Janitorial Services in an amount not to exceed $764,831.00 for the first year and for an eight-year total amount not to exceed $6,773,735.00.
