Commission approves best‑interest janitorial acquisition, authorizes RMAS Corp. at $4,895 per month
Summary
After service issues with the prior contractor, staff recommended and the commission approved a best‑interest acquisition and authorization for the mayor to execute a proposal with RMAS Corporation for janitorial services at $4,895 per month.
Staff reported service problems with the town’s current janitorial contractor and proposed moving to RMAS Corporation under a best‑interest acquisition because RMAS can provide the same experienced cleaning staff at a lower annual cost. Staff said the change will save approximately $35,000 a year compared with prior costs and can match the low bid price while delivering acceptable service.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions; the commission moved and approved the proposal and authorized the mayor to execute the agreement. Staff indicated references and background checks were completed and that this approach leverages known personnel while reducing administrative staffing fees.
Next steps: execute the RMAS proposal and transition janitorial services per the bid terms.
