A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACTS FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2015/16 FOR DOWNTOWN CLEANING, TRANSIT
FACILITY CLEANING, AND HUTCHINS STREET SQUARE
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
WHEREAS, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) has been working for the Public Works
Department since 2000 at several City facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Downtown emphasis is placed on School Street and addresses street
furniture, trash, litter, spills, and leaf removal; the Transit Facility service addresses the exterior of
the Lodi Station, the Lodi Parking Structure, and sheltered bus stops; and the Hutchins Street
Square service includes weekly landscape maintenance, such as weeding, shrub trimming and
debris removal; and
WHEREAS, the UCP program provides meaningful work for the disabled, and includes
transportation and direct supervision for the crew. Effective July 1, 2015, the contract rates will be
$51.52 per hour for Downtown cleaning; $52.51 for Transit Facility cleaning; and $50.37 for Hutchins
Street Square landscape maintenance. UCP is the only known non-profit organization that pays the
disabled the State minimum wage. In addition to strengthening the self-esteem of these crew
members, the citizens of Lodi continue to receive excellent services at a very competitive price; and
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2016, the State minimum wage will increase the contract
rates to $57.07 per hour for Downtown cleaning; $57.20 for Transit Facility cleaning; and $55.92 for
Hutchins Street Square landscape maintenance; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070 Bidding, the bidding process
may be dispensed with when the City Council determines that the purchase or method of purchase
is in the best interests of the City. Staff has recommended waiving the method of receiving
competitive bids since it is advantageous for the City to receive this service at a very competitive
price.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
the City Manager to execute the contracts for Fiscal Year 2015/16 with United Cerebral Palsy of
San Joaquin, Amador, and Calaveras Counties, of Stockton, California, for Downtown cleaning in
