Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to renew and modify a custodial services contract with K & M Kleening Service, Inc. at the Fire Training Academy, 3639 Parsons Avenue; Fire Training Building, 3675 Parsons Avenue; and the Practical Skills Building, 3633 Parsons Avenue. The original contract was formally bid and approved by Ordinance No. 0208-2008, passed February 25, 2008, with four one-year renewal options. This is the third of four renewal options for the period of March 1, 2011 through February 28, 2012.
A modification is necessary to provide funding for custodial services at the Practical Skills Building, which was constructed subsequent to the original contract. K & M Kleening has been the service provider for the professional custodial services at the Fire Training Academy and Fire Training Building for the last three years. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the City to re-bid this contract. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so that custodial services may continue without interruption, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the buildings. Earlier legislation was not possible because of the 2011 legislation schedule.
Fiscal Impact: The Facilities Management Division budgeted $144,507.33 for custodial services at the Fire Training Academy, Fire Training Building, and the Practical Skills Building in the 2011 General Fund Budget. The cost of the custodial contract in 2010 was $86,260.75, which didn't include the Practical Skills Building. An additional amount was budgeted in the 2011 General Budget for cleaning of this building. The total cost of this contract is $144,507.33.
