RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a 12-month renewal to the Agreement
with La Cha Maintenance for Litter Control and Maintenance in the
Downtown in an annual amount not to exceed $162,000.
DISCUSSION
On January 5, 2004, the City Council awarded an Agreement to La Cha
Maintenance for litter control and maintenance in Downtown Santa Ana for
a 12-month period with two 12-month renewal options. The Downtown area
includes approximately 600 retail, service and professional businesses
(Exhibi t 1). The comprehensive scope of services includes: graffi ti
removal; painting; cleaning parking meters, light poles, bollards and
outdoor furniture; sidewalk-blowing to assist street sweeping; and
maintaining high standards of cleanliness for alleys and bus stops. As
part of this program, the contract includes the Downtown "Ambassador"
component, which ensures the training of all maintenance workers on
customer service skills to enable them to provide assistance to patrons
visi ting the Downtown area. The maintenance ambassadors wear highly
recognizable uniforms as they perform litter and maintenance services to
increase their approachability and visibility in the Downtown.
La Cha Maintenance has been diligent in addressing its work plan in
detail and its presence in the Downtown has ensured an acceptable level
of cleanliness. Staff recommends that the City exercise the second
renewal option to continue these efforts.
