RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an Amendment to Agreement A2004-00 with
L.A. CHA Maintenance Company for Litter Control and Maintenance in the
Downtown to increase the compensation by $2,904 per month.
DISCUSSION
As part of providing a high level of nightly maintenance in the Downtown
area, the sidewalks and streets are swept to remove residual debris
resulting from the daily commercial activity. The Downtown Street
Sweeping Program provides street sweeping to the area seven days a week
throughout the year. By maintaining the sidewalk blowing activity on a
contractual basis, the amount of trash and debris removed from the public
right-of-way is dramatically increased.
In order to maintain the quality standard of cleanliness achieved by this
activity, staff recommends amending the agreement with L.A. CHA
Maintenance Company to augment the Litter/Ambassador Team by assigning two
individuals to perform the sidewalk-blowing function exclusively. The
monthly cost to add this function to the L.A. CHA Maintenance Company
agreement is $2,904.
The only alternative is not to amend the contract. This alternative is
not viable as the Downtown area is in critical need of hands-on, constant
attention to litter maintenance and control.
