now provided by our in-house staff. The Commission instructed staff, during budget workshops, to obtain proposals for custodial services effective Fiscal year 85-86. All bids were sealed when submitted and opened on September 17, 1985 at 9:00 a.m. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Four (4) firms responded to staff's request by submitting proposals. Each firm listed items covered by their service and all were given walk-through tours of the areas covered by the Contract. The Annual cost for each firm submitting proposals is listed below: Coast to Coast Janitor $23,616 Soundview Cleaning $33,800 Doug Reese Cleaning $35,820 Cunningham Cleaning Service $53,088 RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING Staff recommends approval of Custodial Services Bid to Coast to Coast Janitor Service, Inc. Funding is provided in Buildings and Grounds Budget line item #001-220-519-33.49. Commissioner Scurlock stated that his question is why is there no cost comparison made in terms of County crews assuming that function, possibly by the addition of one more worker, for instance. Chairman Lyons did not feel this is a great deal of service for the amount of money involved. Superintendent Lynn Williams reported that in comparison to the low bid of $23,616, the in-house cost for this service would be approximately $30,000 with fringes figured in; this would be for two men. This service covers the main Courthouse, the Annex and the State's Attorney's building. Administrator Wright believed we talked about this at length at budget time and thought we would try this with outside services for one year. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to award the bid for custodial services for the Courthouse, the Courthouse Annex, and the State Attorney's building for fiscal year 1985-86 to Coast to Coast Janitor Service, Inc., in the amount of $23,616; funding from line item 001-220-519-33.49. 18 BOOK SEP 2 6'A ' 519© 85 r� utP�
