AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Renewal of Existing Downtown Parking Lot Cleaning
Contract with United Cerebral Palsy of San Joaquin and Amador Counties, of Stockton,
for Fiscal Year 2005106 ($36,100)
MEETING DATE: September 21, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving renewal of the existing
Downtown parking lot cleaning contract with United Cerebral Palsy of
San Joaquin and Amador Counties, of Stockton, for Fiscal Year 2005106 in the
amount of $36,100.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) has been cleaning Downtown public parking lots
since 2000. Since that time, they have been successfully used at several City
facilities. UCP provides meaningful work for the disabled. This program
provides transportation and direct supervision for the UCP crew. In addition to
strengthening the self-esteem of these crew members, the citizens of Lodi receive a service not otherwise provided.
UCP has been called in the past from time to time to address one-time needs as well.
A UCP crew is composed of four (4) persons plus a supervisor. The contract rate for a crew is $43 per hour. UCP is
the only non-profit organization that pays the disabled minimum wage. All others pay the crew members less and cite
additional benefits such as training, transportation, supervision and overhead as reasons for below -minimum wage.
The contract is to remove trash and litter from the Downtown public parking lots, which include City Hall, Lodi Station,
and Lodi Station Parking Structure. This service is provided Monday through Friday in the evenings. Some locations
are serviced multiple times during the week. This contract reflects a 20% (175 -hour) reduction in hours from 1,020 in
2004/2005 to 845 hours total for 2005/2006. This reduction matches the targeted budget for funding available.
FISCAL IMPACT: The overall fiscal impact is minor when service/benefit received is compared to cost. The
entire community uses Downtown parking lots. A clean Downtown area gives the impression
of a safe and welcoming environment. Lodi Station is not only the first impression for many
visitors but also the only impression for many passing through Lodi on a train.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funds for this contract are provided in the 2005/2006 Operating Budget
Project Estimate: $36,100
Budgeted: 10 General Fund — Downtown Parking Lot Maintenance $10,800
12 Transit Fund — Lodi Station Maintenance $25,300
