I would recommend that all professional bids be in writing, on formal letterhead and mailed or hand delivered to the company that you are proposing your bid for. All bids should be signed by both parties, once agreed to and include:

  • A Cover Page
  • Introduction Letter
  • Cost
  • Service Requirements
  • Terms
  • References

There are several on-line commercial cleaning bid generators like http://www.cleaningalliance.com that allow you to input the information based on your client and generate a professional bid that you can print and send to your potential client. This site also offers a commercial cleaning calculator that can give you an estimate for the cleaning based on square footage, type of office, hourly wage of workers and clientele.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to bid janitorial contracts by the square foot you need to have a wide selection of buildings that you have previously cleaned. Then, you divide the monthly price by the total cleanable net square footage to arrive at your current price per square foot. This pricing formula only works on five days per week cleaning frequencies.

You should also know the monthly net profit percentage to compare your buildings and see if your bidding practices are earning you the required amounts. Normally, the spread would be around 15-18 cents per square foot for small buildings, 10-14 cents for medium and below 9 cents for large. Location and cleaning specifications vary from building to building.

Square footage pricing is a fast way to ballpark a bid. However, it lacks the ability to adjust to specific cleaning tasks that may be added; it does not include floor and carpet care and does not adjust for specific cleaning variables. To handle all these ingredients we have developed JanBid Estimating Solutions to make all the comparisons instantly. Details and free advice are at [See related link below for the website].
