FISCAL IMPACT:

STRATEGIC PLAN:
Strategic Goal Alignment:
☒ 1. Customer ☐ 2. Community
☒ 3. Workforce ☐ 4. Organizational Effectiveness
EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: These services support Customer, Community, Workforce, and Organizational Effectiveness by maintaining clean, sanitary, and safe environments across CapMetro’s Administration and Operations Facilities, Park and Ride (P&R) Facilities, and Rail Stations.
Providing consistent janitorial services ensures facilities remain clean, functional, and welcoming to employees, customers, and the public. Proper cleaning and sanitation practices reduce health and safety risks, enhance customer experience, and support operational continuity across transit system facilities.
Routine janitorial services also protect public infrastructure investments by preserving facility conditions, reducing deterioration caused by environmental exposure and usage, and supporting long-term asset stewardship.
BUSINESS CASE: CapMetro requires professional janitorial services to maintain cleanliness, sanitation, and operational readiness across multiple facility types, including Administration and Operations Facilities, Park and Ride (P&R) Facilities, and Rail Stations. These locations experience high levels of daily use by employees, customers, and the public, making routine cleaning essential to maintaining safe and functional environments.
Consistent janitorial services reduce health risks, improve workplace conditions, and enhance customer experience by ensuring facilities remain clean and presentable. Without contracted janitorial services, facilities would experience declining sanitation conditions, increased maintenance demands, and potential service disruptions resulting from unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
Establishing a single contract to support these facility groups improves operational efficiency, standardizes cleaning practices, enhances service quality, and provides consistent oversight and accountability across all covered locations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item will be presented to the full board on May 18, 2026.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The CapMetro Facilities Maintenance Department is requesting Board approval for the award of a contract to provide janitorial services at CapMetro facilities, including Administration and Operations Facilities, Park and Ride (P&R) Facilities, and Rail Stations, in an amount not to exceed $7,502,684.67.
These services are necessary to maintain sanitary, safe, and operational environments across facilities that support daily transit operations and public access. Approval at this time will allow staff to proceed with establishing consistent janitorial coverage across all designated facilities, ensuring service continuity and maintaining operational standards.
SBE PARTICIPATION: A 0% SBE goal was assigned to this procurement, which did not include subcontract opportunities.
PROCUREMENT: On January 28, 2026, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and formally advertised for janitorial services. By the due date of March 3, 2026, eleven (11) proposals were received. After a thorough evaluation process which included oral discussions and final proposal revisions (FPRs), the evaluation team determined Unicare Building Maintenance (UBM) to be the best value to CapMetro, price and technical factors considered. The resulting contract is a fixed price contract with a two-year base period and three (3) one-year option periods for a total price of $7,502,684.67.
