Cleaning Procedures - karn fedick [Wednesday, May 16, 2012] We are looking to increase our revenue by $300k to $500k this year by purchasing another company. Any thoughts or suggestions on making this transistion? Would you run as a separate company or build it into our existing company? I would be very interested in hearing other experiences with acquiring a new company. Strategic Planning - Steve Schwoob [Wednesday, May 16, 2012] We have been implementing the Team Cleaning System this school year. We seem to do well most weeks but have veteran custodians who always revert back to a zone cleaning, the night supervisor is on sight to redirect this habit as it develops. What daily strategy would you recommend to keep focus on Team Cleaning? Team Cleaning - Jack Raffensberger [Thursday, May 10, 2012] I am bidding a small school district with a 3 building complex, high school, elementary school, and an annex building, totaling 126,268 sq. ft. School handles all supplies and has 1 day porter. I am responsible for cleaning 5x's/wk and a day porter. Day porter pay has been figured at $10.65/hr and comes to around $22, 000/yr. Bid is by sq ft. I have never bid on cleaning/labor only (no supplies). Previous bid was $102,026, but for a different sq. ft. amount, so not accurate for comparison. Question...what price per sq foot is acceptable? Same district has 2nd bid for gymnasium complex of 31,000 sq ft. Again, they provide all supplies. Bidding & Estimating - Jessica Sterling
