Downtown Santa Ana <br />is home to over 600 businesses, approximately 3,000 residents, over 90 historic <br />properties, and over 1,000 visitors daily. An integral part of offering a desirable <br />Downtown to guests, residents, and businesses is by ensuring that the area is clean <br />and safe. Due to the combination of increased businesses, residents, and visitors in the <br />historic area, there is a greater need to require cleaning, maintenance, and special <br />event adaptations. <br />Due to the recent disestablishment of the Business Improvement District, the City <br />terminated the agreement with Downtown Inc. for Clean and Safe services. On <br />December 7, 2022, in response to the continued need for clean and safe services, the <br />Community Development Agency released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for clean and <br />safe services in the downtown (Exhibit 1). The procurement and terms of the agreement <br />were guided by the City’s Purchasing Division and emulated the same process followed <br />by both Parks and Recreation and Public Works Agency for their past maintenance <br />contracts. <br />Requirements of the RFP included: litter maintenance, special events clean-up, power <br />washing, daily cleaning of City infrastructure (bollards, light posts, benches), cleaning
