APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT – CALIFORNIA STREET MAINTENANCE, DOWNTOWN AREA CLEANING COSTS

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve increasing the contract amount by $38,000 for California Street Maintenance, Inc.; and

2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the attached contract amendment.

 

Background:

In August of 1998 City Council awarded the contract for cleaning the downtown area to California Street Maintenance for the period beginning Oct. 1, 1998, and ending June 30, 2001, at a cost of $80,000 per fiscal year.

The popularity of this area has grown since the contract first went into effect and this growth brings with it the need to increase the area cleaning. During the FY 99-00 mid-year budget review, Council authorized a $25,000 increase to cover the need for additional services – an increase in maintenance for Lower Pier Avenue and downtown areas including extra steam cleaning and porter service for heavy weekends.

In the 2000-01 budget, Council approved another increase, this time $13,000, bringing the total approved amount to $118,000 – Porter Service increased to provide service on all weekends in the downtown area year-round.

 

Analysis:

In follow up to the above-mentioned Council approvals for extra work, it is necessary to amend the agreement between the City and California Street Maintenance to cover the additional work. Under the terms of the existing agreement, the City has the option to order extra work. Therefore, Staff is recommending that Council approve the attached contract amendment.

 

Fiscal Impact:

Funding in the amount of $118,000 has been allocated in FY 00-01 budget, account #109-3301-4201.
