Commercial Cleaning Bid Templates by Metro
Answer
The loaded hourly wage gap between New York City and Memphis is roughly $11, which directly shifts the entire square-foot price band for commercial cleaning bids.
- Each of the 100 metro templates is anchored to BLS OEWS 2024 wages for SOC 37-2011.
- Templates include price bands, scope blocks, frequency matrices, and local variables like prevailing wage.
- Labor cost is the single line item that moves bid pricing between metros.
$11/hour Loaded wage differential between NYC and Memphis
A cleaning bid template that wins in Manhattan loses in Memphis. The labor differential between a New York City SOC 37-2011 mean and a Memphis mean is roughly $11/hour loaded, and that single line shifts the entire square-foot price band. The pages below give operators a metro-specific bid template for the 100 largest U.S. MSAs — every page anchored to BLS OEWS 2024 wages for that market, with regional adjustments for shift differentials, mandatory benefits, and prevailing wage where applicable.
Each template carries the same structure: the typical price-per-square-foot band for that metro, a sample scope of work block, a frequency matrix, the line-item cost build, and the local variables that move the band up or down (prevailing wage, paid sick leave ordinance, density of buildings, union presence). Use them as a starting line, not as the final number — the customer's RFP always reshapes the math.
