Bus Stop and Transit Center Cleaning Contract - Amendment (Ordinance S-49377)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Contract 155469 with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. to provide bus stop and transit center cleaning. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures will not exceed $3,822,000.
Report
Summary
The Public Transit Department currently utilizes Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. (GPC) to provide routine cleaning services at the City of Phoenix’s 15 transit facilities, including park-and-rides and transit centers, and approximately 4,100 bus stops citywide, in addition to additional services for special events and minor repairs.
This contract amendment adds a new line of service, bulk trash cleaning at bus stops, to the existing contract. This new category of service is the result of an increase in calls for the cleaning of bus stops with unprecedented levels of refuse at many bus stops citywide. In addition, this new service category provides additional resources to GPC to increase critical cleaning services during a period of economic downturn, labor market shortages, and inflation. The amendment provides for an estimated 63,700 bulk trash cleaning instances per year.
The bulk trash cleaning at bus stop line item pricing will be used from Feb. 1, 2023 to Jan. 31, 2025. The contract term remains unchanged, ending on Dec. 31, 2026.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council previously approved Contract 155469 with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. (Ordinance S-48053) on Oct. 27, 2021.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $3,822,000 in additional funds, the revised value of the contract will not exceed $20,822,000. Funds are available in the Public Transit Department’s budget.
