RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Deputy General Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Metropolitan Maintenance Services, in an amount not to exceed $180,000, to provide remote building custodial services, for the period December 1, 2011 through November 30, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Facilities Maintenance budgets FY 11/12 through 13/14.

BACKGROUND:

General Services Facilities Maintenance is responsible for Custodial Services. We are requesting a contract to provide sublet Custodial Services to several sites deemed as remote. Remote sites are described as either outside of the normal routes used by County Custodial staff, or sites requiring night work. As met and conferred and agreed upon with Local 1, Custodial Management does not have the ability to manage or oversee employees working in these conditions. This is a continuation of existing policy and has no negative impact on the current Custodial staff. Originally bid on Bidsync #0710-005, Metropolitan Maintenance Services was one of two (2) vendors awarded this type of work. We are requesting that a contract be approved for a period covering the next three (3) years.
