City of Garden Grove
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | William E. Murray
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Approval of an agreement with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., for graffiti abatement services. (Cost: $271,573.27) (Action Item) | Date: | 2/12/2019 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To receive City Council approval of an agreement
with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., for graffiti abatement services. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
For the last 10 years, the City has contracted with a graffiti abatement contractor for weekend and holiday coverage. Currently, graffiti abatement is handled by multiple areas, with Park Maintenance responsible for the parks, Building Maintenance responsible for city buildings and Right of Way Maintenance responsible for the graffiti on the street, walls and sidewalks. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
With the early retirement of more than 15 employees from the Public Works Department in 2018, staff began identifying possible alternatives to help manage graffiti in the city. The most logical choice was to change the status of our weekend contractor to full time and allow staff to focus on maintenance activities and special projects.
Under the proposed agreement, the contractor would be in Garden Grove six (6) days per week and would be responsible for addressing all graffiti on public property. This contract is based upon an existing contract that Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. holds with the City of Santa Ana. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract is a set monthly price of $14,293.33 through October 31, 2020, with a not-to-exceed amount of $271,573.27. Funds are available within the Public Works budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Approve the agreement with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., through October 31, 2020, with a not-to-exceed amount of $271,573.27; and
- Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.
