BACKGROUND INFORMATION: United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) has been working for the Public Works Department since 2000 at several City facilities. Staff is proposing to contract with UCP for downtown cleaning, transit facility cleaning and Hutchins Street Square landscape maintenance. ln the downtown area, emphasis is placed on School Street and addresses street furniture, trash, litter, spills, and leaf removal; the transit facility cleaning addresses the grounds surrounding Lodi Station, the Lodi Parking Structure, and sheltered bus ètops; and work at Hutchins Street Square includes weekly landscape maintenance, such as weeding, shrub trimming and debris removal. The UCP program provides meaningful work for the disabled. Each UCP crew includes four persons plus a supervisor. The program includes transportation and direct supervision for the crew at the rate of $51.52 per hour for downtown cleaning, $52.51 for transit facility cleaning and $50.37 for Hutchins Street Square iandscape maintenance. UCP is the only known nonprofit organization that pays the disabled the State minimum wage, Other organizations are known to pay crew members less and cite additional benefits such as training, transportation, supervision, and overhead as reasons for below-minimum wage compensation. ln addition to strengthening the self-esteem of these crew members, the citizens of Lodi continue to receive excellent services at a very competitive price' Per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, the bidding process may be dispensed when the City Council determines that the purchase or method of purchase is in the best interests of the City. Stãtf recommends waiving the method of receiving competitive bids since it is advantageous for the City to receive this service at a very competitive price. FISGAL IMPACT: Maintaining a clean downtown core, transit facility and Hutchins Street Square enhances the appearance of Lodi, resulting in increased visitation and sales tax generation.
