Contracting Janitorial Services. A Training and Production Model.
Smith, Christopher A.
This book provides a model to help facilities for training handicapped persons to teach janitorial work and set up a contracting program for janitorial services. The book is organized in three sections. The first section outlines the training production model, including hints on beginning the venture, separation of training and contracting functions, contracting and training interaction, and the ancillary training program. In the second section, information on janitorial training is given. Topics include the training program (with information on choosing a site, curriculum, and instructors and purchasing and using equipment and supplies), administering criterion curricula, training for critical vocational behaviors, and length of training. The final section of the book contains guidelines for janitorial contracting. Information is included on defining contracting, the role of quality, competition, types of contracts, bids, selling services, quotations, legal documents, and keeping contracts. Sources considered to be useful are listed. Appendixes include performance formulas, janitorial curricula, and bidding formulas. (KC)
