Report
Summary
The Public Transit Department has a five-year contract with 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. GPC also provides additional services, as needed, for special events and minor bus stop repairs.
In recent years, the City has experienced a significant increase in the amount of refuse and items left at bus stops, requiring GPC to expand their efforts and frequency of cleanings at several locations. In January 2023, the City Council approved an amendment to address the need for additional cleaning services at bus stops and other transit facilities on a temporary basis through January 2025. After staff's evaluation of those efforts, this amendment will continue the cleaning services and trash removal at enhanced levels through the life of the contract.
Contract Term
The term of this contract, including this amendment, is through December 31, 2026.
Financial Impact
No additional funds are requested, as funds added via the previous amendment will be utilized for the continuation of enhanced cleaning services.
