Why Most Janitorial RFPs Fail
Most RFPs focus on price and generic service promises. They miss execution controls: staffing reliability, verification, response times, and compliance documentation.
Core RFP Sections to Include
- Building profile and occupancy schedule.
- Zone-based scope by area type.
- Day porter vs nightly responsibilities.
- QA and proof-of-work requirements.
- Incident response and escalation SLA.
- Insurance and compliance standards.
Recommended Scoring Matrix (100 Points)
- Scope quality and completeness: 25
- Staffing model and coverage depth: 20
- Quality assurance and verification: 20
- Compliance and documentation maturity: 15
- Price and billing transparency: 15
- References and local execution history: 5
Questions That Expose Weak Vendors
- How do you verify completed work by zone and timestamp?
- What is your backup staffing plan for same-day absences?
- How quickly are missed tasks corrected and documented?
- What compliance records can you provide on demand?
Queens-Specific Note
Queens properties with mixed occupancy (office + medical + retail) should require building-specific scope attachments instead of one generic checklist.
