Issue Statement

 

Approval of a Resolution to extend a contract with Hoving Clean Sweep, LLC for the 2010 Street Sweeping services in an amount not to exceed $22,688.00 through April 30, 2011.  The proposed contract extension would be the second extension of a three (3) year option.

 

RESOLUTION

 

Background/History

 

The Municipal Services Department opened 4 sealed bids on April 8, 2009. See attached bid tally labeled as Attachment A. The bid contained two additional one year option extensions for 2010 and 2011. This proposal would be the second option extension. The City’s street sweeping services have been conducted at four (4) intervals during the year and an emergency incident sweep for a total of approximately 348 hours. Staff has recently reviewed the sweeping services and is recommending that Interval 3 be eliminated this year. The reduction would reduce the sweeping services to approximately 278 hours for an approximate savings of $5,775.00. Staff does not anticipate a decrease in the level of service by eliminating Interval 3. The street sweepings have been revised to begin between the following dates:

 

Interval 1-May 11th-May 19th

Interval 2-July 8th-July 15th

Interval 3-August 24th –September 7th-ELIMINATE

Interval 4-October 26th- November 16th

 

Funding for the Street Sweeping Services would be expended from the following line item of the FY 10/11 Budget:
