Report
Summary
To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, additional funds to the custodial services contract will allow the Housing Department to increase cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces at the City's senior residential facilities. Frequently touched surfaces include tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles and other commonly touched areas. Reducing the risk of exposure by extra cleaning is important to help stop the spread of germs and requires careful planning for senior housing sites. The contractor and the Housing Department are working together to ensure facilities are as safe as possible for residents.
Financial Impact
With the $185,000 in additional funds, the revised contract value is now $857,000. This contract is funded with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds. There is no impact to the General Fund.
