Management Challenges:
For two years, WCI provided general building maintenance services for these government properties. WCI provided exemplary service for the two year period but lost the job to a lower bid. Our services included janitorial services and supplies, snow removal, window-washing and landscaping services. The supervisors of this account had the responsibilities of coordinating with the building managers and also with the Department of General Services’ Inspectors and Managers to maintain the needs of the City employees. Our work with the City included many types of buildings differing immensely, from the Main Police Headquarters at 1100 South State, to Health Department satellite facilities to Mental Health Clinics and transportation garages, we covered a full gamut of cleaning needs and also staff needs. These were very demanding specifications that required constant management activities in order to control the specific building environments.
