OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals with pricing to provide deep cleaning
twice a year or as needed for the Dormitories and Apartments located on the Southern University Baton
Rouge Campus (SU). This RFP is not to outsource the Southern University cleaning staff, but to provide
services as requested. Services means all labor (custodial, janitorial, and housekeeping), materials,
equipment, and supplies necessary to perform the work in accordance with the requirements defined
throughout this RFP.
INTENT
Based on this RFP, SU will elect to award a single, or multiple responsible contractors based on whose
proposal, conforming to this RFP, is most advantageous to the University, price and other factors
considered. SU reserves the right to issue multiple contracts or to separately procure individual
requirements that are the subject of the contract during the contract term, when deemed by the
University to be in its best interest.
SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
Southern University is seeking proposals from experienced and qualified Contractors for Custodial
Services that will provide maximum value through trained staff, enhanced technology, superior customer
service, streamlined processes, sustainability efforts and reasonable costs. SU requires a clean, safe, and
healthy environment for students, administration and staff at the campus. The scope of the services
required is detailed in the RFP document.
Financial considerations are important but will not be the sole determinant for the award. Within this RFP,
SU challenges the proposers to carefully study and research the unique aspects of campus life and to
submit unique proposals that demonstrate the ability to operate in a performance-based environment
and to maintain quality levels of work.
SU intends for this RFP to result in a contract for a period of (1) year with an option to renew for two (2)
additional years at the pricing and proposal information contained herein upon mutual agreement with
the Contractor.
Southern University maintains the right to cancel because performance is not up to
standard.
