BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of the janitorial specifications and contract requirements to service City facilities. Changing expectations in the quality and frequency of janitorial service indicate the need to update specifications and contract management, which requires appropriate re -bidding of the janitorial services contract. The Public Works Facilities Services Division oversees the janitorial contract for the City. The specifications provide for complete janitorial services for City facilities on both a scheduled and an on -demand basis. The specifications also include the provision of paper products and other supplies to keep facilities sanitary. A notable change made to the specification and contract is the awarding of a single contract that has, in the past, been awarded to multiple bidders. Initial term of the contract will be for two years commencing on July 1, 2013, with an option to renew for an additional two years. The specifications will be on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is April 3, 2013. The contract will be awarded following Council approval of the FY 2013/14 budget. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of janitorial services is estimated to be $175,000 per year and is to be included in the FY 2013/14 operations budgets for the Electric Utility; Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services; Library; and Public Works Departments. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award. F.
