How to read this sample commercial cleaning proposal
This sample shows the pieces a cleaning buyer expects before signing: who the proposal is for, what scope is included, how the monthly price is structured, which optional services are separate, and what the client accepts with one signature.
For a real bid, start with the walkthrough. Confirm square footage, restroom counts, public traffic, breakroom use, floor surfaces, security access, service windows, supplies, and the decision timeline. Then use the commercial cleaning bid calculator to pressure-test the monthly price before turning it into a proposal.
What this proposal example demonstrates
The cover letter explains context in plain English. The scope tables separate tasks by area and frequency. The pricing schedule shows Good, Better, and Best packages instead of forcing the buyer into one number. Optional services stay outside the base recurring price so floor care, carpet extraction, and detail projects can be accepted intentionally.

Sample proposal FAQ
What should a commercial cleaning proposal include?
A commercial cleaning proposal should include the client and building details, cover letter, scope of work by area, service frequencies, pricing packages, optional services, service agreement terms, and a clear acceptance signature path.
Is Summit Commercial Cleaning real?
No. Summit Commercial Cleaning and Lakeview Office Park are fictional sample data used to demonstrate the Outscoped proposal format.
Can I customize the proposal?
Yes. Outscoped proposals use your logo, brand colors, editable scope of work, editable cover letter, pricing options, optional services, and tenant-level service agreement settings.
Can the scope be edited?
Yes. The Scope of Work is editable on every plan, including areas, tasks, and frequencies, so the proposal can match the actual walkthrough instead of a generic template.
Why are there three prices?
Commercial cleaning proposals often need a baseline recurring service, a stronger detail program, and a premium option with periodic work included. Showing Good, Better, and Best keeps the comparison in one proposal instead of forcing the contractor to send multiple documents.
What happens after the client signs?
Outscoped records the selected package, optional services, signer, accepted total, and acceptance state, emails the client a signed copy, and alerts you, so you can move from bid follow-up to service startup.
Where does the calculator fit?
Use the calculator before the proposal to estimate labor hours, wage burden, supplies, overhead, and margin. Then use the proposal to explain the price in human terms: areas, tasks, frequency, add-ons, agreement language, and acceptance.
Why show a sample proposal before using Outscoped?
A sample proposal shows how calculator pricing, scope of work, package options, add-ons, and signature flow appear to the client before you send a real bid.
