On your tour, be aware of the level of cleanliness already present, and try and gage the expectations of the client accordingly.

Your checklist should contain the following items as a basic foundation, and should have additional points, depending on the specifics of the particular job, as well as any specialties you may offer to provide:

      • Similar to the floors, windows can be bid on in a per-unit basis and can be considered an add-on service.
      • Restroom supplies and trash can liners should be identified. An additional bid can be made for their management (and a small profit as well).
      • Overhead expenses, fixed expenses, variable expenses, labor, and materials should all be considered in your bid price.
      • Production cleaning rates - for example how long it takes to vacuum a space based on square footage, how long a restroom fixture takes to clean (toilets, urinals, sinks), and how many trash cans can be emptied in an hour.
      • Initial cleaning cost - you may need to charge separately for the first-time cleaning if the building needs to be brought up to the correct level of appearance by giving a thorough detailed cleaning.
      When you leave the site, don't forget to ask your prospective customer any questions you may have about details and expectations. It's also important to find out your client's priorities between price and quality.

      Remember that the presentation of your bid is as important as its contents. Put some effort into creating a standard bidding packet, which includes information about your company, a specifications list, references, testimonials, contract, and other information is greatly appreciated and very impressive to potential clients.
