enable the City to stay very close to the budgeted amount. By staying very close to the budgeted amount, the City will realize almost all of the j anitorial cost savings that are built into the 2005 City budget. Staff Recommendation: As the total bids received were significantly higher than the City's budgeted amount for j anitorial services, we recommend not accepting the total bids. We do recommend accepting the low bid of Mat'sd�r� for a portion of the total contract which provides us with two full-time janitorial staff to maintain most City buildings. We plan on utilizing them in the following manner: City Hall 55 houra/week Fire Station # 1 5 l�ourslweek License Center 5 hours/week Nature Center 7 k�ours/week Skating Center 13 hourslweek (Marsden hours will be adjusted between buildings based on greatest need.) In addition, we recommend continuing our current relationship with Greenview, providing 12 to 15 hours of supplementary custodial services per week at the public works maintenance facility and 50 hours per week at the skating center. Greenview employs Roseville area seniors to provide cleaning services. The cost for Greenview will be approximately $35,000 for the year. The bill rate for Marst�e� would be at the hourly rate bid in their proposal. The annual cost for Marsden would then be $97,179. This would provide service each and every business day, including backup for vacations and illness. Combined, these services will total approximately $132,000 for 2005. The approved 2005 budget includes $130,000 for janitorial services. The 2005 budget reflects areduction in janitorial expenditures of approximately $19,000. Accepting the combination of Marsden's low bid, a reduced scope of service, and as supplemented by hourly labor from Greenview will result in a net savings to the City of $17,000 for 2005. Service levels will be similar to that provided in the past under this arrangement. Staff will monitor building cleanliness to assure that we are providing a healthy and safe environment for the public and city staff. Any adjustments to janitorial needs will be recommended in the 2006 budget process if necessary. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Motion to authorize staff to enter into a two-year janitorial services agreement with the low- bidder, Marsden, for two full-time contract custodial staff and to enter into a11 agreement with Greenview Inc. to provide supplemental cleaning staff for the maintenance facility and skating center, all as described above within this Staff Report. �.
