Town awards $72,313 janitorial contract amid staffing challenges
Summary
After vendor vetting, council awarded janitorial services to Triangle Services for $72,312.97, citing a roughly 21% increase over the previous contract and difficulties vendors faced in staffing roles requiring vetted employees.
Staff presented the results of a competitive procurement for janitorial services covering public restrooms and offices and recommended awarding the contract to Triangle Services for $72,312.97. Director Crockett said the town lost its previous vendor in early January and that many vendors failed to complete paperwork correctly; Triangle was the responsive, vetted bidder. The director noted the contract price reflects industry-wide staffing and materials pressures and is roughly a 21% increase over the previous contract price.
Council discussed the option of hiring town employees for in-house janitorial work but staff said that would be costlier over time and could delay service restoration. Council approved the contract and authorized the town manager to execute the agreement and any amendments; staff aims to onboard the vendor by March 10.
