Purpose

The City of St. Albans is requesting written quotations from qualified, insured cleaning companies to provide regular, ongoing cleaning services at City Hall. The selected contractor will maintain a clean, sanitary, and welcoming environment for employees and visitors through routine cleaning of designated spaces.

Scope of Work

The selected contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, cleaning products, equipment, and supplies necessary to complete the agreed-upon services.

Requested services include:

  • Dusting and cleaning accessible horizontal surfaces, including windowsills, ledges, trim, and baseboards.
  • Cleaning doors, doorframes, handles, light switches, and other frequently touched surfaces.
  • Removing cobwebs and dust from accessible corners, vents, and fixtures.

  • Cleaning break-room counters, sinks, and appliance exteriors.
  • Cleaning interior glass, entry-door glass, and designated windows.
  • Emptying trash and recycling containers, replacing liners as needed, and leaving all work areas orderly.

 

The final scope and frequency of services will be confirmed with the selected contractor before services begin. Additional work requires prior written authorization from the City.

Site Visit

A site visit is encouraged so vendors can review the building, confirm quantities and conditions, and identify any access or equipment needs.

To schedule a visit, contact Kristen Smith at k.smith@stalbansvt.com or (802) 524-1500 ext. 253. Site visits must be completed before the December 15, 2026 quotation deadline.

Scheduling and Building Protection

Cleaning services will be provided on a regular, ongoing basis during hours coordinated with City staff to minimize disruption to municipal operations. Vendors should propose a cleaning schedule and task frequencies. The service schedule, start date, and agreement term will be established with the selected contractor before services begin.

The contractor must protect furnishings, finishes, equipment, and City property. Cleaning products and methods must be appropriate for the surfaces being treated. City records, papers, computers, and personal items may not be moved or handled without authorization. Access to secured or restricted areas must be coordinated with City staff.
