Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

On November 15, 2007, the Board of Commissioners passed an order directing the Purchasing Agent to advertise for bids for Janitorial Services at Various Locations in the Stickney Service Area.

 

In response to a public advertisement of December 19, 2007, a bid opening was held on January 29, 2008.  The bid tabulation for this contract is:

 

CRESCENT CLEANING COMPANY                     $378,091.15*

SMITH MAINTENANCE COMPANY                     $385,584.33

RESOURCE UNLIMITED CORP.                     $418,522.34*

NATIONWIDE JANITORIAL CORP.                     $611,310.00

*Corrected Total

 

Ninety-nine (99) companies were notified of this contract being advertised and twelve (12) companies requested specifications.

 

Crescent Cleaning Company, the lowest responsible bidder, is proposing to perform this contract, all in accordance with our specifications.  The estimated cost for this contract was $500,000.00, placing the bid of $378,091.15, approximately 24.4 percent below this estimate.  The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) was not included because the classification of work is not applicable to the MPLA.

 

In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that this contract be awarded to Crescent Cleaning Company, in an amount of $378,091.15, subject to the contractor furnishing a performance bond in form satisfactory to our Legal Department and approved by the Purchasing Agent.  The estimated 2008 and 2009 expenditures are $163,806.76 and $214,284.39, respectively.  Funds for the 2008 expenditure are available in Account 101-69000-612490.
