The proposed resolution seeks the approval of a multi-year contract with Aramark Management Services, LP, for janitorial environmental cleaning and related services at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the exterior grounds of the Carnegie Library. The contract, valued at $39,241,788.60, is set to commence on October 1, 2025, and will run through September 30, 2030, with the option for five additional one-year renewals. The services to be provided include routine cleaning of various areas within the Convention Center, such as loading docks, lobbies, and restrooms, as well as exterior maintenance services at the Carnegie Library, including window cleaning and snow removal.

The resolution outlines the competitive procurement process that led to Aramark's selection, highlighting their extensive experience and past performance ratings. The contract will also incorporate new initiatives, such as the use of robotic cleaning technology, and will ensure compliance with the requirement to subcontract 35% of the work to Certified Business Enterprises. The funding for this contract aligns with the Authority's approved operating budget for FY26, and the resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
