Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to renew a contract for the Facilities Management Division with Winnscapes for snow removal services at the following locations: 757 Carolyn Avenue, 750 Piedmont Road, 1000 North Hague Avenue, the Health Department at 240 Parsons Avenue, and the Fire Training Academy at 3639/3675 Parsons Avenue. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance Number 0029-2004, passed March 9, 2004. The original contract expires December 31, 2004. The original contract specifications included four renewal options pending available funding and approval of Council. This ordinance will authorize the first of the renewal options and shall continue the contract from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005.

Emergency action is requested so that snow removal services can be provided during the winter months. The inability to remove snow and ice in a timely fashion poses a potential safety hazard to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Fiscal Impact: The Facilities Management Division did not budget this snow removal renewal in the 2004 General Fund budget. The Division has previously spent $36,000.00 in 2004 for snow removal and landscaping. Funding is available due to savings in other areas of the Facilities Management services budget. This ordinance authorizes and expenditure of $25,181.25. The Division will seek City Council authorization in 2005 to modify this contract to include landscaping services. Winnscapes Contract Compliance Number 31-1313521, exp. 07/08/2007.
