CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the agreement with Athens Services, Inc.,
for street sweeping services for a four-year period, beginning July 1, 2020, and expiring June 30,
2024, increasing the rate to $17.63 per curb mile, for a total service cost of $952,020, plus a 10
percent contingency of $95,202, for a total annual amount not to exceed $1,047,222, and a four-
year total of $4,188,888, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and
City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Maintenance Services Division is responsible for sweeping all of the City
roadways annually - an estimated 54,000 curb miles. In 2012, City Council approved an eight -year
street sweeping agreement with Athens Services, Inc., expiring on June 30, 2020, with one eight -
year renewal option (Exhibit 1). The services include weekly street sweeping of residential, arterial
and industrials streets, alleys, and up to 400 annual curb miles of free special sweeping for special
events. This contracted service has resulted in an operational savings of $2.5 million annually.
In 2012, the City successfully negotiated a curb mile rate of $15, which was one the lowest rates
in Southern California, and included key provisions such as a maximum annual cost of living
adjustment of percent per a Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) weighted
formula, key quality control measures such as Global Positioning System (GPS) to monitor
sweepers, a monthly customer complaint log with resolution implemented, continuous staffing
provisions, and an on -site supervisor. To further improve public services and in exchange for a
lower curb mile price to the City, Athens Services centralized their Santa Ana operations at the City
Corporate Yard to deploy their fleet of sweeping vehicles from the Yard, utilized office/storage
space, cleaned their vehicles at the wash rack, and had the option to purchase fuel on -site from
25J-1

the City. All of these items have contributed to faster, more efficient, and successful services to
the public. The current street sweeping rate is $15.63 per curb mile as stipulated per the
agreement's cost of living adjustment.
Agreement Renewal Negotiations and Amendments
The City began agreement renewal negotiations with Athens Services in October 2019, with Athens
Services formally requesting to exercise the agreement's eight —year renewal option, with three
proposed amendments that included:
1. Street sweeping curb mile rate adjustment to $17.63 due to cost of living increases;
2. Removal of the annual cost of living maximum of 2% (Section 3(D)); and
3. Removal of the requirement to utilize street sweeping vehicles eight years old or newer (Section
II(C)(1)(c).
The City responded to Athens Services proposed amendments and they accepted the City's
counter proposal on December 9, 2019. The proposed negotiated agreement amendments (Exhibit
2) are summarized as follows:
1. Curb mile rate increase from $15.63 to $17.63, effective July 1, 2020.
2. Maintain the existing 2% CPI/PPI language.
3. Remove requirement to only utilize sweeper vehicles eight -years or newer and require that
vehicles are in new, like new, or newly refurbished condition.
4. A four-year renewal term will be proposed starting on July 1, 2020, and ending on June 30,
2024.
Cost Analysis
Based on the most recent curb -mile price data gathered, the City has and will continue to benefit
from the lowest pricing based on the three most recent contracts awarded to Athens Services and
in comparison to other local cities that contract street sweeping services. The table below highlights
the proposed curb mile pricing of $17.63 being well below the industry averages:

Quality Control and Performance Measures
The agreement continues to include key quality control measures that are consistent with other
cities and industry standards to ensure sweeping quality and performance. As well, staff
systematically performs daily and weekly route inspections for quality control. Athens Services has
been compliant with the service expectations envisioned and expected of them and has been very
responsive with corrective measures when the City requests service improvements. They have
met their service goals by performing consistent weekly services. They have also provided
additional services, including the addition of more street sweepers at times of need, such as during
windstorm events, and free sweeping services annually for roadway debris emergencies and
special events, such as, but not limited to, Fiestas Patrias Parade, Downtown Events, and the City's
150th Anniversary Celebration.
Athens Services has provided street sweeping services for over 30 years, including servicing the
City of Santa Ana for the past seven years. They have provided the best quality service at the most
cost effective price. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the recommended
action.
In the event that this renewal extension is not approved, a Request for Proposals (RFP) will need
to be issued, requiring approximately six months to finalize the procurement, with a service start
date goal of July 1, 2020. If a new contractor were selected and is unable to acquire the necessary
fleet of street sweepers due to industry constraints, a one-year extension to Athens Services would
possibly be required to allow sufficient time for a smooth transition with the new contractor.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Strategic Plan Goal #6 — Community
Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for
all City assets), Strategy #1 b (equitably maintain existing streets and associated assets in a state
of good repair so they are clean, safe and aesthetically pleasing for all users.)
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Although the new contact results in a 12.8% increase, the sanitation fund has sufficient cash flow
to provide for the increased cost in future years. Funding for the four-year renewal term, FY 2020-
21 through FY 2023-24, will be budgeted and made available in the account specified below:

INDEMNIFICATION

shall prevail, followed, in precedential order by, 1) the Specifications attached as Exhibit A, 2) the provisions
of City's Request for Proposals dated November 22, 2011, and 3) Contractor's Proposal. This Agreement
may not be modified except by written instrument signed by the City and by an authorized representative of

which are not embodied herein.
12. ASSIGNMENT

may not assign, transfer, delegate, or subcontract any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
City and any such assignment, transfer, delegation or subcontract without the City's prior written consent
shall be considered null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the City's ability to
have any of the services which are the subject to this Agreement performed by City personnel.
13. TERMINATION AND DAMAGES
a. City reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, without penalty, for cause. In
the event Contractor fails or refuses to timely perform any of the provisions of this Agreement in the manner
25J-9
r 0
required, or if Contractor violates any provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall be deemed in default.
City shall provide written notice of such default to Contractor's Project Manager. Contractor shall cure said
default within a period of two (2) working days. If more than two (2) working days are reasonably required
to cure the default, Contractor shall provide adequate assurance of due performance within forty-eight (48)
hours after Contractor receives written notice of default from City. Such assurance shall include
acknowledgement of the defaulf Contractor's proposed remedy and the timeline (not more than seven (7)
working days) for cure. If such cure is not completed in a timely manner, City may assess liquidated
damages or terminate the Agreement forthwith by giving written notice to Contractor's Project Manager.
City may, in addition to the other remedies provided in this Agreement or authorized by law, terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of termination. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs incurred by
City, including replacement costs of equipment and labor required to provide service during Contractor's
default.
b. In addition to, or in lieu of, remedies provided in this Agreement or pursuant to law, City shall
have the right to withhold all or a portion of Contractor's compensation for contract services if, in the
judgment of the Projects Manager or designee, the level of maintenance falls below appropriate street
sweeping maintenance standards and/or Contractor fails to satisfactorily perform contract services. City shall
have the right to retain funds withheld until the Projects Manager or designee determines that contract
services are performed as well and as frequently as required by this Agreement.
c. Termination by Contractor.
(i) Contractor may stop providing service pursuant to this Agreement in the event on nonpayment
by the City. In order to invoke this provision, Contractor must first provide to City thirty (30)
day written notice of nonpayment of undisputed sums. Contractor shall allow the City thirty (30)
working days to cure the alleged breach, after Contractor provides written notice of such breach.
(ii) The Contractor may request termination of the contract when conditions during the contract
make it impossible to perform or when prevented from proceeding with the contract by act of
God, by law or official action of a public authority. In such event, Contractor may request
termination by providing one -hundred eighty (180) days written notice prior to contract
termination date. If such event may not be remedied by reasonable action taken by Contractor,
City may approve termination.
14. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
If City determines that the Contractor has breached its promise to provide street sweeping services in
compliance with the Terms and Conditions of applicable laws and regulations, and the specifications set
forth herein, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine the damage to City arising from
such breach. Therefore, in the event of Contractor's breach, Contractor shall pay to City the sum of $265.00
per street sweeping hour during which Contractor remains in breach, in addition to any cost, fines, etc. levied
against the City.

be now in force or hereinafter enacted. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the

unimpaired by the holding, so long as the reasonable expectations of the parties hereto are not materially
impaired.
