RUSSELL, Assistant Director Public Works Department, Streets, Landscape, and Graffiti Divisions SUBJECT ..Title Approve Contract Change Order No. 1 to a requirements contract with ScrubCan, Inc. of Fresno, CA, for Business Corridor Litter Abatement Services in the amount of $245,856 for a one-year contract to include the Olive Avenue, Linden Avenue, Wishon Avenue, Fern Avenue and Van Ness Avenue business corridors in the Tower District, bringing the total contract value to $359,616 (Council District 1) ..Body RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council approve Contract Change Order No. 1 to the current requirements contract with ScrubCan, Inc. of Fresno, CA, for Business Corridor Litter Abatement Services in the amount of $245,856 for a one-year contract to include the Olive Avenue, Linden Avenue, Wishon Avenue, Fern Avenue and Van Ness Avenue business corridors in the Tower District, bringing the total contract value to $359,616. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 27, 2023, the Council awarded a requirements contract to ScrubCan, Inc., for the Business Corridor Litter Abatement Services Contract for Blackstone Avenue and Abby Street between Olive and Belmont Avenues, and on Belmont Avenue from Abby to First Street. This contract received funding through the Clean California beautification program. The Mayor's proposed budget for FY2024 as adopted by the Council included a similar effort in the Tower District. In order to begin this critically needed service as quickly as possible, and given the similar nature of the work, staff recommends the Council approve a change order to the existing requirements contract in order to incorporate these additional streets for cleaning. Staff has successfully negotiated the additional scope of services to be performed with the vendor which can be accomplished within the available budget. BACKGROUND The adopted FY2024 included $248,000 for the new Tower District litter abatement and sidewalk pressure washing initiative. Attached is a vicinity map showing the limits of work to be performed under the proposed contract change order, which will include Olive Avenue from Echo to just east of Van Ness, Linden from Olive to Fern, Fern from Linden to Maroa, and Van Ness from Olive to the Fern alignment, plus the Tower Theatre parking lot. The City Attorney's Office has approved the proposed contract change order as to form. After approval by the Council, work should begin within 30 days. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This contact change order is not subject to environmental findings because this is for additional contracting authority to maintain existing City sidewalk infrastructure. The original contract was awarded with a categorical exemption by City Council on April 27, 2023. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not implemented because this is an existing contract. FISCAL IMPACT The contract change order will be fully funded by appropriations within the Public Works Department operating budget for FY2024 as previously approved by the Council.
