Background:
The 701 Building, located at 701 4th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55415, has been under the management of CBRE, Inc. since 2007. On February 1, 2025, the management agreement with CBRE, Inc. will terminate, thus transferring the responsibility of managing the 327,000 square foot facility to Hennepin County. Concurrently, the existing janitorial services agreement between CBRE, Inc. and S.O.S. Building Services, Inc. will also end on February 1, 2025. This transition will leave Hennepin County without a qualified vendor to maintain the janitorial services of this facility.
CBRE, Inc. had previously awarded a new agreement via competitive bidding to S.O.S. Building Services, Inc., effective August 1, 2024. In light of the efficient and satisfactory services provided by S.O.S. Building Services, Inc., Facility Services proposes to award a direct select contract to S.O.S. Building Services, Inc., adhering to the previously agreed term length. The objective of this agreement is to ensure that a county asset (701 Building) continues to be maintained by a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) / Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) for the benefit of customers, staff, and tenants. This board action request aligns with the goals of Hennepin County. This action ensures the uninterrupted maintenance and cleanliness of the facility, which is crucial for its operations and occupants.
Current Request:
Approval is requested of Agreement PR00006972 with S.O.S. Building Services, Inc. to provide janitorial services at 701 Building, for the period of February 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027, with a not to exceed amount of $1,250,000.
