I am putting a bid, to do a regular scheduled maintenance for a animal facility and laboratories for a pharmaceutical contract. What would be rate per square foot for medical janitorial services?

What is being done ? Are you supplying materials, or are they supplying materials. What amount of area have what type of floor, office, lab, warehouse, type of floor material,

Depending on where you are located and the intensity of the bidding of your competitors it varies.

As a suggestion if it is 5 or 6 days/week cleaning and you have to take care of the VCT/hard floors and the carpets the rate in my area ranges from $.015 all the way to $0.26 depending of the density and how many OR's there are in this building.

I sincerely hope that you have experience in medical cleaning as it requires a lot of knowledge to keep it clean and to protect you, your workers and the client and their patients/staff.

Pricing is always your decision in the end this is only a suggestion based upon my experience level/s.

Do you?

Thanks for your comments, Everything is being supplied by us, (hand towels, neutral soap, hand soap, garbage bags. etc... ) only the product to clean the animal facility is being supplied by the client. The floors in the lab are tile floors which we will be stripping and re-waxing once a year. The square feet of the area in question is 75,000 sqft. It will be cleaned 5 days a week, extras will include desensitizing animal facility once a month. I bought a company that had been doing the contract for 15 yrs, so the employees have not changed. They are very dedicated employees, the pharmacutical company is very happy with them. I currently charge $1.20 a sqft per year for office cleaning. Is the $0.15 to $0.26 per sqft a monthly rate?

Yes it is monthly Bear.
