Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and extend a contract for the Facilities Management Division with Dove Building Services in the amount of $285,000.00 for custodial services at the Municipal Court Building at 375 South High Street. The contract extension is the second of five possible renewal options with Dove Building Services. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance Number 1501-03, passed July 21, 2003 in the amount of $171,071, for eight months. The contract was extended for twelve months by Ordinance 0028-2004, passed March 9, 2004, in the amount of $275,879.26. The contract shall continue from March 1, 2005 through February 28, 2006. The amount requested represents a 3% increase, due to higher costs of materials and supplies, especially paper products, and the addition of the fifth floor, an area that was unoccupied until summer 2004.
Emergency action is requested so that custodial services may continue without interruption.
Fiscal Impact: The Facilities Management Division budgeted $285,000.00 in 2005 for custodial services at the Municipal Court Building. The Division appropriated $275,879.26 in 2004 and spent $171,071 in 2003 for an eight month contract. Contract compliance number 31-0918594, expiration date 03/21/2005.
