Long 2009-0796 BG0012 MEMORANDUM 11`k COLORADO To: Board of County Commissioners From: Toby Taylor Re: Custodial Services for Human Services Complex Date: March 11, 2009 In the recent past, B&G has bid out custodial functions for the Downtown buildings and again for the north County buildings. Both times, Porter Industries was awarded the contract. During these bid processes, we didn't advertise the Human Services complex. The goal was to wait until construction had progressed to a point of obtaining an accurate number for custodial services. Since Porter Industries has been the winning bidder for the past two bids and they are currently providing all our custodial needs in Greeley, I'd ask them if they would provide a price for custodial services for the entire Human Services complex as an add-on option to their current contract. Attached is their quote to provide services which include all supplies and consumables. You'll notice this price is $5,000 per year less than what they charged during their current contract (which is currently being extended month -to -month). In addition, by them matching the square footage prices for the other bids, the County will save $12,000 in consumable supplies alone for the Human Services A & B buildings. We have utilized Porter Industries for a number of years for custodial functions in the Human Services Complex and are pleased with their performance. In addition to this performance, they are offering us a savings which matches the existing contract. Therefore, Buildings and Grounds recommends adding the Human Services Complex to Porter Industries' current contract to provide both custodial services and consumable products. If you have any questions, please contact me at extension 2023. 2009-0796 AGREEMENT FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES (HUMAN SERVICES BUILDINGS) THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between the County of Weld, State of Colorado, by and through the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, whose address is 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado, 80631 ("County"), and Porter Industries, Inc., whose address is 5202 Granite Street, Loveland, Colorado 80538 ("Contractor").
