Temporary Staffing for Custodial Services

The Pittsburgh Public School District is seeking qualified firms under RFP 2026-10 to provide temporary custodial staffing services for the Plant Operations Department. These services will support over 50 school locations serving approximately 20,000 students, addressing needs such as employee absences, vacancies, seasonal fluctuations, and special projects. The initial contract term is for one year, beginning January 1, 2027, with the possibility of three additional one-year renewals for a maximum total of four years. Vendor bill rates will be based on a base wage of $15.00 per hour and must be fully burdened to include payroll taxes, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance. Award decisions will be based on a best value determination, evaluating pricing, technical approach, organizational experience, past performance, and an aspirational 10% MWBE participation goal. High performance standards are required, including a planned vacancy fill rate exceeding 90%, a same-day request fill rate over 80%, and worker attendance above 95%. All temporary personnel must undergo rigorous screening, including a full health appraisal and mandatory clearances under Act 114, Act 151, and Act 34, all dated within one year of the start date. Proposals must be submitted as a single searchable PDF to the designated point of contact by November 10, 2026.
