Hiring Janitorial Services

Who is generally responsible for hiring janitorial services?
It seems varied from Board Members, Volunteers, property mgt company person or???

If volunteers hire a vendor, they should be prepared to pay the vendor personally.

Any and all vendor's and contractors' hiring decisions are done through the HOA board. Typically the Board solicits
several bids. Bids are sealed and opened at an association meeting and the board selects one of the bids.
This is standard for janitorial, pool cleaners, and landscapers. If you are a board member, examine contracts carefully.
some vendors like landscapers and pool cleaners include some sort of cleaning services. For example, a pool vendor might offer
cleaning bathrooms and trash removal and landscapers might offer dog waste station refill and removal and common area trash removal.
You don't want contacts overlapping and paying two vendors to perform the same service.

Also during the Bid process be sure to spell out what your requirements for insurance coverage is for the vendor to carry. Ask for a Certificate of Insurance when the bid is submitted so you can see if their coverage is in line with your requirements. All vendors should carry General liability, Workers Compensation, and a Umbrella Liability policy.

I own a janitorial company as well and was looking for contact/ position/ responsibility for hiring janitorial services. I can never get info on who REALLY looks for or hires.
