BACKGROUND:
City Council awarded Contract 19-310 to JP Superior Cleaning and Janitorial Services Corporation (JP Superior) on June 16, 2020, for a one-year term from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, with three, one-year options to extend. The first option year was approved on June 15, 2021. The second option year was approved on July 26, 2022.
During the original term of the contract, and the first and second option years JP Superior has continued to provide dedicated and reliable staff and adjusted the work team's scheduled hours to accommodate Naper Settlement changing operations over the past 3 years. Despite the temporary workforce and hours reductions that were caused by the Covid pandemic's impact to revenue and operations, JP Superior continues to be flexible and provide excellent, consistent building maintenance and building support services.

JP Superior met these challenges and provided appropriate labor for these required support hours as stated by the B&G Department operations.
