Title
Second Contract Extension for Janitorial Services in the Downtown Area (B)
Explanation
The CRA has a contract with EC's cleaning to provide exterior janitorial services in the downtown area after the clubs close and the daytime businesses open several evenings a week. These services include trash pick up, cleaning up waste from sidewalks, and cleaning the Plaza bathrooms over the weekend. The contract expires on September 30, 2006 and allows for the CRA to renegotiate and renew the contract for one additional period of one year. EC's Cleaning Services has agreed to renew the contract with a 3% increase in the cost, increasing the contract from $33,900 per year to $34,917 per year. This is $1,017 more than the CRA has budgeted for Downtown Maintenance for FY 06-07, but sufficient funds are available in the Downtown Maintenance account for the increase.
Fiscal Note
The CRA has budgeted $33,000 for Downtown Maintenance in FY 06-07. The remaining $1,017 can be allocated from the Downtown Maintenance account.
Recommendation
Executive Director to the CRA: Recommend approval of the extension of the contract with EC's Cleaning Services for one year to provide downtown maintenance at a not to exceed price of $34,917 and 2) fund the additional $1,017 from the Downtown Maintenance account.
