Monroe County adds public health clinic to janitorial contract; board approves $600 biweekly charge
Summary
An amendment to Monroe County's commercial cleaning contract adds the county public health clinic at $600 biweekly and adjusts cleaning levels for a separate "futures" clinic; commissioners approved the amendment by voice vote and staff will seek health-department funding to cover the added cost.
Monroe County commissioners approved an amendment to the county's commercial cleaning/janitorial agreement on Jan. 29 to add routine cleaning for the public health clinic at a rate of $600 biweekly and to change cleaning for a separate "futures" clinic from a quarterly clinical clean to standard office cleaning.
Speaker 2, the staff member presenting the amendment, said the change "is adding the public health clinic, at a rate of $600 biweekly." The presenter said the amendment increases the contract total and that the county would work with health-department staff (referenced as Miss Kelly) to see if the clinic can fund the added cleaning so the cost would not fall to the county general fund. Speaker 1 said that made sense and that the health department "has their own funding." Speaker 2 noted the contract materials show a gross contract figure "like, 231,000" and that the contract is calculated biweekly in the schedule.
Staff and commissioners discussed document organization: Section 1 in the materials repeats the original 09/04/2024 contract language for the health building and Section 2 is intended to show the modified scope, which reduces the health-building line by about $100 because the futures clinic no longer receives clinical cleaning. Speaker 3 clarified the drafting: Section 1 quotes the prior agreement and Section 2 states what is being changed. The presenters said the futures area will receive regular cleaning going forward rather than quarterly medical cleaning; the public health clinic will be added when it opens.
Commissioners praised Commercial Cleaning's work: Speaker 1 observed that the contractor does a "fabulous job in all our buildings" and credited staff pride in building maintenance. There was no public comment on the amendment. Speaker 1 called for a voice vote; those in favor said "aye" and Speaker 1 recorded the motion as carrying 2-0. Because the item is an amendment, it does not require ratification at the next meeting.
The amendment adjusts service levels for one clinic, adds the public-health clinic at a stated biweekly rate, and leaves funding responsibility to be sorted with the health department. Staff will finalize contract exhibits and confirm when the public-health cleaning will begin.
