Title
Amendment to Agreement for Janitorial Services (NB)
Staff recommends extending the term of the contracts with Warjon, Inc. d/b/a Coverall and C&S Building Maintenance for janitorial services for various GRU facilities.
Explanation
Janitorial service is required at various GRU facilities. The service is necessary in offices, restrooms, and other designated areas as determined by the requirements of each facility. Such services include but not limited to trash pick-up, general dusting, sweeping, mopping, carpet and floor cleaning. This contract covers four GRU facilities located in the 5th Avenue compound, including GRU Administration Building and the Springhills Service Center located in 3805 N.W. 97th Blvd. Coverall and C&S Building Maintenance were approved by the City Commission on March 12, 2007 to provide janitorial services through March 31, 2008 . The agreements provide for four one-year extensions upon mutual agreement of the parties and negotiation of the contract prices. Coverall has offered to maintain the contract prices for the extension period while C&S Building Maintenance is requesting a 3% increase.
Staff has been very pleased with the services provided through this agreement and recommends extending the contract for a year to provide janitorial services.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) authorize the General Manager, or her designee, to execute one-year amendments to the contracts with Coverall and C & S Building Maintenance for janitorial services at GRU facilities, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality, and 2) approve the issuance of purchase orders to Coverall and C&S Building Maintenance in amounts not exceeding $122,000 and $77,000 respectively, subject to the final appropriation of funds for FY2009.
Fiscal Note
Funds for these services have been included in the proposed FY 2008 budget and will be requested in the FY2009 budget.
