Custodial Services Division

The Custodial Services Division (CSD) has the largest number of staff in the Department of Facilities Management with 175 allocated full time positions and 25 Temporary Assignment Program (TAP) employees. CSD provides the labor, supplies, and equipment necessary to maintain all County Facilities in a clean, safe, and sanitary condition in compliance with State, County, and Division standards and methods. CSD also handles Pest Control issues for the County. The CSD provides quality, reliable, and sustainable levels of custodial service by tailoring services to meet each customer’s budgetary concerns while maintaining appropriate health and safety standards. Our main objective is to provide superior customer service through reduced cleaning costs, using green standards, and increased levels of cleanliness.

• The CSD continues to utilize a county-wide route/team cleaning strategy which reduces overall costs to our customers by approximately 28% while maintaining health and safety standards. • The CSD East County managed custodial services for the highly successful Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival, using mostly custodial TAP employees, for the fourth consecutive year. • CSD continues to utilize the “Recycle/Reuse/Reduce Program” to provide savings for the County and our customers. • The CSD East County provided emergency interim services for the Riverside County District Attorney when they relocated to a leased facility without in place janitorial services during a major East County relocation/construction effort.

• CSD West County provides emergency services for the Riverside County Coroner after a major security clearance delay with an awarded Contractor. • The Riverside County Medical Center Mental Health Intake Facility received a “Grade A” rating for sanitary cleanliness during multiple 2013 State Inspections. • CSD evaluates a county-wide supply requisition process with hundreds of cleaning products to determine which provides the safest, quality, and green standards for the best price.
