The company will be paid 18 cents per square foot of any building that receives its custodial services, and Hoover City Schools will pay $15 per hour for labor. The Hoover school system mostly hires its own custodians but recently contracted out services for Greystone Elementary due to difficulty finding reliable custodial employees, Superintendent Dee Fowler said. The school system wanted to be able to hire additional outside custodians as needed and had to take bids for the service due to the scope of the work, Fowler said. 205-969-0909
