The City of Salida, Colorado, is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2025-02 for comprehensive custodial and janitorial services for multiple municipal facilities. The scope of work includes the Touber Building, Public Works Shop, Multi-Use Facility, Chisholm Pavilion, Aquatic Center, Fire Station, Steam Plant Annex, and Scout Hut. Required tasks encompass daily and weekly cleaning of restrooms, floor maintenance, trash and recycling removal, surface sanitation, and specialized duties such as monitoring robotic pool vacuums at the Aquatic Center. The contract is intended for a one-year initial term with the possibility of renewal for up to three additional years, with work tentatively commencing in Summer 2025. Proposals must be submitted electronically via BidNet Direct by April 21, 2025, and are limited to 15 pages.

Key requirements include maintaining $1,000,000 in general liability insurance and ensuring that all personnel assigned to the Police Department and Department of Health Services pass mandatory criminal background checks. While the City provides consumables like soap and paper products, the contractor is responsible for providing all necessary tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment.
