For property management, it is usually .10 cents a sq ft.

Thanks CelticCleaner... what region of the country are you in? And does it depend on over a certain amount of sqft it decreases?

I am in the South region (Florida). As far as the amount of sq ft, it would depend on if you see a potential future business with the property manager and try to find out who they know. Use Facebook as a search for this information. If you think you can get more business out of them then cut them a deal or offer a discount on future business or multiple properties.

This was my first big bid... I didn't look into it in depth as far as potential future business(I'll keep that in mind for next time). I basically tried to focus on a competitive price and getting a proposal packet created which I think might've been too wordy.

wow! Got feedback from my proposal and I was told that my bid was 3x more than what they currently pay. How much does .09-.10 end up being per hour? Their existing company is definitely cutting out serious amounts of square footage... their rate is $9-$14 per/hr.

WOW! Seriously? That other company will see how much money they will end up losing. The way I see it, it was not meant for you. You never know, that company may have had some issues you may not want. I always run a check on anyone who is requesting services or I am wanting to bid on. Whether an individual or company. I want to be sure who it is I am dealing with, and if any negative feedback about them.

OK, how about 1x cleanings... I've had several and it seems like I always have to chase money down afterwards... What is the best to handle them before it's started and after it's complete?
