Description

The Iowa Department of Transportation seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive janitorial and custodial services for four interstate rest‑area locations (Victor, Elkhart, Story City, and Dows). Services include daily interior cleaning, exterior litter control, snow/ice removal, minor maintenance, and compliance reporting, with staffing requirements that vary by building type (new vs. existing) and must meet gender‑appropriate restroom staffing. The contract is a one‑year base period with four optional 12‑month renewals, and vendors may be awarded up to four locations. • Perform full‑time interior cleaning (restrooms, floors, fixtures) and exterior upkeep (parking lot, picnic areas, landscaping). • Provide 24‑hour coverage for new‑building sites (up to 40 hrs/day) and 16‑hour coverage for older sites, with specific attendant ratios and gender staffing rules. • Meet strict performance metrics: snow removal within 8 hours, weekly/monthly deep‑cleaning schedules, and timely incident reporting; all work must adhere to Iowa Administrative Code 761‑20.

Budget estimate

$480,000 – $1,000,000

No explicit budget is disclosed, but based on typical Iowa DOT janitorial contracts for multiple rest‑area sites, annual spend per location often ranges from $120,000 to $250,000 depending on staffing levels, square footage, and seasonal snow‑removal requirements. With four locations, the total contract value is likely between $480,000 and $1,000,000 for the base year, with additional renewals potentially adding similar amounts. Factors influencing the range include the mix of new vs. existing buildings (newer sites require higher staffing), winter weather severity, and any supplemental services (e.g., landscaping or minor repairs).
