RECOMMENDED ACTION
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. In 1999, requests generated through the City's graffiti
hot line indicated a need to expand the operation to seven days a week.
Staff determined that it was not cost-effective to have City employees
perform weekend and holiday graffiti removal and the City began contracting
for this service. Last year, the contractor removed 550,263 square feet of
graffiti during 12,667 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 third renewal of the contract.
