Janitorial Services

As the agency published it

Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois - Building Maintenance has issued request for quotation.

The Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois (the System or TRS) is requesting quotations for Janitorial Services. The objective of this Request for Quotation is to solicit competitive pricing and terms from qualified suppliers which may result in a contract to provide Janitorial Services to the Teachers’ Retirement System. A proposer’s preparation and submittal of a quotation or subsequent participation in presentations or contract negotiations creates no obligation on the System to award a contract or to pay any associated costs. All proposals and related materials will be retained by the System and will be subject to disclosure as required in accordance with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The resulting contract, if any, is anticipated to have a term of one (1) year and is intended to serve as an interim solution until the System completes a competitive procurement process for long-term janitorial services. The System anticipates issuing a formal solicitation for such long-term services during the term of the resulting contract. Any qualified vendor, including the contractor awarded under this Request for Quotation (RFQ), will be eligible to participate in that future solicitation.
