REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JANUARY 2, 2007 TITLE: CONTRACT RENEWAL FOR WEEKEND AND HOLIDAY GRAFFITI REMOVAL (SPEC. NO. 04-132) . ~~----- CIT MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: APPROVED ^ As Recommended ^ As Amended ^ Ordinance on 1s' Reading ^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading ^ Implementing Resolution ^ Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Renew the contract with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., for weekend and holiday graffiti removal for a one-year period, in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000. DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency's Maintenance Division is responsible for weekday graffiti removal. Staff determined that it was not cost-effective to have City employees perform weekend and holiday graffiti removal. In 1999, in response to requests generated through the City's graffiti hot-line, the City began contracting for weekend and holiday graffiti removal to expand the operation to seven days a week. Last year, the contractor removed 527,100 square feet of graffiti during 9,308 stops made by the weekend and holiday graffiti abatement crews. Graffiti is removed in 24 hours or less, based on requests received from City staff and from residents through the City's graffiti hot-line telephone number. On November 15, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., for a one-year period with provision for four, one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in pricing. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract.
