CITY OF L0DI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Janitorial Services
MEETING DATE: September 17, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications for the above project and
authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Janitorial duties in City Hall, the Carnegie Forum, Public Safety
Building, Municipal Service Center, Hutchins Street Square,
White Slough Wastewater Treatment Facilities, Parks and Recreation
offices and Annex, City Hall Annex, Fire Administration Offices, and
Lodi Public Library are carried out by a contract janitorial service. Last year, the Library chose to bid their
janitorial services as a separate contract, while most of the other facilities were maintained by Korean
Maintenance Janitorial Services, who has maintained the majority of the City facilities since July 1, 1984.
Additional square footage and janitorial responsibilities have been added over the years as City facilities
have been remodeled and expanded. It is recommended that competitive bids be received at this time
so other commercial cleaning firms can be considered.
The Library has the option to renew its contract with its current janitorial service, but would like to be
included in this proposal as an alternate, in case it is advantageous to award that contract to another vendor.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FUNDING: The money for this project will be coming from the operating budgets of the various
departments and has been included, at current levels, in each. A request for appropriation
of funds will be made at contract award.
Project Estimate: $128,000
Budgeted: 1997/98 fiscal year
Planned Bid Opening Date: October 22, 19
