Report
Summary
On Oct. 3, 2018, the City Council approved two contracts to provide custodial services at the Airports to be awarded in the large and small company categories. Flagship was awarded the large company category to provide staff, equipment, supplies, and supervision necessary to furnish custodial cleaning services for 1.7 million square feet of facilities at the Airports.
Custodial services are critical to the Airports to maintain a clean, sanitary, and safe environment for the traveling public. Activity at the Airports has rebounded to near pre-pandemic passenger volume. However, the nationwide labor shortage in the job market has posed a challenge for Flagship to recruit and retain adequate staffing. The City anticipates opening new facilities in the next three years, including two new Sky Train Stations and the Terminal 4 South 1 Concourse. The additional contract expenditures will provide capacity to support these new facilities and provide Flagship additional resources to attract and retain skilled custodial cleaning staff.
Contract Term
There is no change to the current five-year term of the contract, which began on Nov. 5, 2018 and includes two, one-year options to extend the term that may be exercised at the sole discretion of the Aviation Director.
Financial Impact
The additional expenditure will not exceed $30 million through the remainder of the contract term, including the option years. Funding is available in the Aviation Department's budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The contract was originally approved by the City Council on Oct. 3, 2018.
