BID 1810-26/27 TEMPORARY PERSONNEL FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES

Solicitation 1810-26/27 is a request from the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) for qualified bidders to provide temporary janitorial and custodial personnel on an as-needed basis when staff are unavailable. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, though LACOE may award to multiple bidders to ensure uninterrupted service. The primary evaluation is based on a Base Bid, calculated by multiplying the Composite Weekly Cost by 52. Bidders must provide at least three references from the previous five years and comply with Education Code Sections 45125.1 and 45125.2 regarding fingerprint certification. Submission of bids is required electronically via the PlanetBids portal by 3:00 p.m. PST on November 20, 2026. Required documentation includes a bid form, bid security of at least 10 percent of the base bid, a non-collusion declaration, and certifications regarding workers' compensation, debarment, and a drug-free workplace. Awarded contractors must provide performance and payment bonds within ten calendar days of notification. Payment is handled in arrears, with invoices submitted monthly to LACOE Accounts Payable detailing the work performed and the specific location of the services.
