Council considers service agreement with Citywide Facility Solutions for janitorial work

At the May 5, 2025 meeting, The Village City Council considered Resolution 05-05-2025 Bravo, a service agreement to provide janitorial services for City Hall and the police department.

City staff told the council the city solicited proposals from four vendors and received three responses. Staff recommended Citywide Facility Solutions as the lowest-cost, most responsive bidder after reference checks with other communities, and said the contract would provide cleaning three nights per week for city facilities for approximately $16,500.

The presentation noted the city had previously performed custodial work in-house through the facility maintenance team; the outsourcing would shift the work to a contractor. The transcript records staff recommending the contract and citing checks of references and responsiveness but does not include a roll-call vote or final approval statement.

Why it matters: moving custodial services from in-house staff to a contracted vendor changes operating arrangements for facilities and carries budgetary implications for recurring maintenance costs. The record available to reporters notes the recommended vendor and approximate contract cost but does not show a final vote.
