Contracted Custodial Services

The government authority located in Des Moines, Iowa is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive contracted custodial services. The agency requires full staffing coverage across three shifts, 365 days per year, including holidays and weekends. To solve potential staffing shortages, the contractor must maintain a pool of pre-cleared, security-vetted backup personnel to cover for employee absences, terminations, or performance issues. The scope of work demands that each eight-hour shift consists of eight full hours of labor, excluding lunch breaks. The agency requires the contract price to encompass all necessary supervision, which must include one working supervisor per shift and one working account manager to direct the supervisors. All work must be performed onsite at the authority's facilities in Des Moines. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore contractors located within the United States. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the ability to meet these continuous staffing and supervision requirements. The budget is not pre-determined, as the agency is actively looking for proposals to define the cost. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 18, 2026, which bidders must attend to remain eligible.
