The document outlines the requirements and expectations for janitorial services at the Catawba medical facility, encompassing nearly 9,000 square feet. All areas, including patient rooms, exam rooms, restrooms, and common areas, require cleaning with no specific high-traffic zones identified for additional attention. Specialized cleaning for medical equipment is not needed, and no hazardous waste disposal or scheduled deep cleaning services are required. Janitorial staff are expected to use the facility's cleaning products and should adhere to HIPAA compliance protocols, with restricted access to the pharmacy and medical records areas. Background checks are mandatory for staff, and any lost items should be reported to the CEO. Issues that arise must be addressed within 24 hours, and the facility prefers communication via email or text with the CEO. This document serves as a key reference for vendors responding to the federal RFP for janitorial services, ensuring compliance with the facility's operational protocols and standards.
