RECOMMENDED ACTION

not to exceed $150,000.

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Maintenance Division is responsible for citywide
graffiti removal. Graffiti abatement is performed by City staff Monday
through Friday and more cost-effectively by a contractor during weekends
and holidays. Last year, the contractor removed 550,263 square feet of
graffiti during 12,667 stops made by the weekend and holiday graffiti
abatement crews. Graffi ti is removed in 24 hours or less, based on
requests received from City staff and from residents through the City's
graffiti hot-line telephone number.
The Graffiti Task Force has recognized color matching as one of the top
priorities in their 2008 Action Plan. The plan will provide the community
with enhanced graffiti removal services in major corridors and business
districts. The amendment will allow the vendor to provide color matching
services five days a week.
On November 15, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to Graffiti
Protective Coatings, Inc. for a one-year period, with provision for four,
one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past
contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in
pricing. Staff recommends the final renewal of the contract.
