I had 49 Borders Book Stores before the went bankrupt. I am trying to get new business and have been offered VCT work as a sub for a large chain of drug stores. I would like advive on both what eqipment I would need and opinions on if the payout Iam being offered is one I could make money on.
Scope of work
Basic Services (Wash & Burnish)
Basic service may be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or 2x weekly depending on the location.
This service is to be performed by an auto-scrubber machine; mop and bucket service may be allowed in rare exceptions or on an emergency basis (machine broken) only. Performed properly, the basic service should take approximately 2 hours to complete.
The following tasks are considered to be basic services that a contractor performs:
· Basic service should be performed with two (2) crew members.
· Remove gum and stickers from the floor; pick up all area rugs and store out of the way. Replace when finished.
· Dust mop the entire sales floor including areas behind the registers, counters, photo areas and bathrooms regardless of location within the store . The broom should be used to clean the bathroom floors.
· Auto scrub and restore all respective floor areas. When using an auto scrubber, damp mop corners, edges and squeegee the streaks.
· High-speed buff entire floor area, using spray buff as per manufacturer recommendations.
· Re-sweep or dust mop floor areas, if necessary.
Pay out = $100.00
The offer is for 12 stores to start and this is the info on 1 level of service. There are 3 service levels
Mini Scrub
Monthly Primary Program (9 x yr)
The mini scrub is provided on a monthly basis to maintain the floor’s finish at acceptable levels by performing a scrub and recoat of High Traffic Areas and spray buff the entire floor. The mini scrub takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete. The manager designates 1/3 of the balance of the sales floor to receive service, so that the entire store has received a scrub on a quarterly basis. (Rest of sales floor is cleaned and buffed, as per Other Areas, below).
Mini Scrub - High Traffic Areas
High traffic areas include cash wrap, “raceway,” front of store, front of pharmacy, and the back of the store.
· Mini scrub service should be performed with a minimum of two (2) crew members.
· Remove gum and stickers from the floor; pick up all area rugs and store out of the way. Replace when finished.
· Dust mop all respective floor areas.
· Apply restoring product using manufacturer recommended ratio of ounces per gallon of cool water, to tile floor.
· Scrub floor using a buffer or an auto-scrubber with a green or blue pad, removing embedded dirt and soils. When using an auto scrubber, damp mop corners, edges and squeegee the streaks.
· Rinse floor with cool water.
· Allow to dry.
· Apply two (2) coats of floor finish using a rayon mop, and allow drying between coats.
· Polish the floors to a high shine with a high speed buffer.
Clean any finish residue from covebase, kickplates, fixtures or non-floor surfaces
The pay-outs for these full tile stores are around $100 per W&B service. The Mini Scrubs (completed approx 9 times per year) pay an additional $25 per service ($125 total). Our company supplies all stripper & finish for these services- your company would need to provide the equipment and labor. The stores also receive 1 Full Store Strip & Wax per year ($650 per service).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
