Renew the contract with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., for <br />weekend and holiday graffiti removal for a one-year period, in an <br />annual amount not to exceed $200,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency's Maintenance Division is responsible for citywide <br />graffiti removal. Graffiti abatement is performed by City staff Monday <br />through Friday and more cost-effectively by a contractor during weekends <br />and holidays. Last year, the contractor removed 550,263 square feet of <br />graffiti during 12,667 stops made by the weekend and holiday graffiti <br />abatement crews. Graffi ti is removed in 24 hours or less, based on <br />requests received from City staff and from residents through the City's <br />graffiti hot-line telephone number. <br /> <br />The Graffiti Task Force has recognized color matching as one of the top <br />priorities in their 2008 Action Plan. The plan will provide the community <br />with enhanced graffiti removal services in major corridors and business <br />districts. The amendment will allow the vendor to provide color matching <br />services five days a week. <br /> <br />On November 15, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to Graffiti <br />Protective Coatings, Inc. for a one-year period, with provision for four, <br />one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past <br />contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in <br />pricing. Staff recommends the final renewal of the contract. <br /> <br />22A-1 <br />
