Invitation to Bid #CLC200808

ADDENDUM #1

May 20, 2008

Custodial Services, General Housekeeping and Cleaning

Vendor questions and responses to RFP #CLC200808:

1) Are the duties of the day porter assigned by the vendor or by the agency? The duties of the day porter will be established as a joint venture between the agency and the vendor.

2) Can the day porter assist the afternoon crew in cleaning during the porter’s shift? Yes. The day porter will complete tasks throughout the day that should effectively lead to lighter duties for the afternoon shift. The day porter, however, will not perform duties that are intrusive to the Lottery staff including, but not limited to, such tasks as closing bathrooms for cleaning before 4:30 p.m. or vacuuming before 4:30 p.m.

3) Can the porter vacuum, empty trash, and intermittently clean the bathrooms throughout their shift? The day porter may empty trash baskets and recycling bins, remove cardboard boxes, etc. Bathrooms may be restocked and cleaned befreo 4:30 only by request of the Lottery.

4) It is stated that the successful vendor must agree to provide a minimum of 20 man hours a night to clean the facility. What can the vendors do if they believe that it will

Page 3: Connecticut Lottery Corporation Request for Proposals · 2008-05-21 · ADDENDUM #1 . May 20, 2008 : Custodial Services, General Housekeeping and Cleaning : ... assigned to the day

not take 20 hours an night to clean the facility since a full time day porter is employed? Please provide a clearly written statement at the beginning of your proposal that explains your rationale for recommending less that the number of man-hours specified in the bid. This should include recommendations for duties to be assigned to the day porter that will replace the need for afternoon shift amn hours.

5) For the semi-annual carpet cleaning services, which methods of cleaning are preferred? Bonnet cleaning or hot water extraction method? The carpet manufacturer must provide instruction on the appropriate cleaning method for the specific carpet installed in the Lottery facility. We are unable to provide that information at this time.

6) What is the maximum number of badges that are given out to the successful vendor’s employees before being charged? The first lost badge will be replaced by the Lottery. Second and subsequent lost badges will result in a charge to the vendor.

7) Will the successful vendor be able to schedule the semi annual services, scrubbing quarry tiles, and window washing services to be performed on weekends and/or holidays? Semi-annual and on-demand services will be scheduled using a combination of Monday – Friday after hours shifts and some weekend shifts but not holiday weekends. The Lottery will make every effort to coordinate such work with the vendor in a mutually beneficial manner.

8) Is floor buffing required on the VCT tile flooring on a scheduled basis? ”Deep scrub and wax” as well as “strip and wax” are methods employed in the past. Historically, we do not usually buff the VCT tile floors at other times.

Part I General Terms & Conditions 1.01 Purpose The purpose of this Request for Proposals (hereinafter “the RFP”) is to obtain competitive Proposals from qualified Vendors for custodial services, general housekeeping and cleaning of the Connecticut Lottery Headquarters located at 777 Brook Street, Rocky Hill, CT 06067 and for on-demand services for our auxiliary warehouse located at 81 Alumni Road, Newington, CT 06111. 1.02 Background Information The Connecticut Lottery Corporation (hereinafter “the Lottery” or “the CLC”) is a quasi-public agency with the sole mission to generate revenue for the State of Connecticut’s General Fund. In addition to a variety of on-line games, the CLC currently offers numerous instant “scratch” games through a retailer network base consisting of approximately 2850 terminals. The Lottery leases its headquarters facility located at 777 Brook Street, Rocky Hill, CT with approximately 40,000 square feet of finished office space and 45,000 square feet of warehouse space. An additional 7,000 square feet of leased warehouse space is located at 81 Alumni Rd, Newington, CT. This solicitation pertains primarily to the finished office and main warehouse space, but also includes occasional duties at the remote warehouse space as specified in the scope of services. Pursuant to section 31-57f of the Connecticut General Statutes, the standard wage rate for certain service workers applies to this contract. Refer to Attachment D for applicable payroll rates required for workers covered under this contract. Also, be advised that the successful vendor is required to submit weekly Payroll Certification for Covered Service Worker Contracts forms to the Lottery, forwarded on a monthly basis; see Attachment E for a copy of the certification form. The Lottery is not subject to the provisions of Connecticut Public Procurement General Statutes. However, the Lottery’s choice of a firm for these services will be based on competitive principles and in accordance with Purchasing Policies approved by the Lottery’s Board of Directors. It is the policy of the CLC to contribute to the establishment, preservation and strengthening of small businesses and businesses owned by women and minorities in our procurement activities. Toward that end, the CLC encourages firms to provide for the participation of Connecticut small businesses and Connecticut businesses owned by women and minorities through partnerships, joint ventures, subcontracts, and other contractual opportunities. This solicitation, however, is NOT restricted to Connecticut businesses nor to those designated as small and/or minority owned. Vendors certified through the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Business CONNections (DAS) as a small, minority, women or disabled owned business are requested to provide a copy of their current certification of eligibility issued by DAS with their Proposal. 1.03 Mandatory Site Inspection All Vendors responding to this RFP MUST participate in a Mandatory Pre-Proposal Conference and Site Inspection of Lottery Headquarters. The mandatory site inspection will be held on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, promptly at 10:00am. Vendors wishing to submit a Proposal for this Contract must sign and return a Site Inspection Registration Form no later than noon (12:00pm) on Monday, May 12, 2008 (see Appendix G). Failure to inspect the site will result in automatic rejection and disqualification of Proposal. Late arrivals will not be admitted to the conference.

1.21 Force Majeure The Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in the performance of this Contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by the Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Vendor. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or of public enemy, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather, but in every case the failure to perform must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Vendor. If the failure in the performance of the Contract is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or otherwise results from an act of the subcontractor, or if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control of both the Vendor and subcontractor, and without fault or negligence of either of them, the Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default unless (a) the supplies or services to be furnished by the subcontractor were obtainable from other sources, (b) the Lottery ordered the Vendor in writing to procure such supplies or services from such other sources, and (c) the Vendor failed to comply reasonably with such order. Upon request of the Vendor, the Lottery’s Purchasing Officer shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure and, if it is determined that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the said causes, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the Lottery under the clause hereof entitled "Termination for Cause". (As used in this paragraph, the term "subcontractor(s)" means subcontractor(s) of any tier.) 1.22 Modifications and Changes The Connecticut Lottery may issue written modifications to the Contract requirements or specifications of the resulting Contract within the general scope thereof with the advance written approval of the President/CEO or his designee. In making any modification, the resulting increase or decrease in cost for the modification shall be determined by one of the following methods as selected by the Lottery:

a) The written modification shall stipulate the mutually agreed price for the specific addition to or deletion from the Contract requirements or specifications, which shall be added to or deducted from the Contract amount.

b) The written modification shall stipulate the number of unit quantities added to or deleted

from the Contract and multiplied by the unit price that shall be added to or deducted from the Contract amount.

c) The written modification shall direct the Vendor to proceed with the work and to keep

and present in such form as the Lottery may require a correct account of the cost of the change along with all vouchers. The cost shall include an allowance for overhead and profit to be mutually agreed upon by the Lottery and the Vendor.

1.23 Invoices & Payment Terms Invoices for services ordered, delivered and accepted shall be submitted by the Vendor to the payment address shown on the Contract or Purchase Order. All invoices shall state the Contract Number or Purchase Order Number. Failure to include the above will result in the invoice being returned to the Vendor, and the CLC will not be liable for any resulting delays in payment as a result thereof. Payment terms are net 30 days from invoice date.
