BACKGROUND
In order to maintain sanitary conditions at all facilities owned by the City of Santa Clarita (City),
janitorial services are required. Janitorial services ensure that City -owned and operated facilities
are clean and prepared for daily use by the public.
The City uses a specialized vendor to provide cleaning services. The routine cleaning of City
facilities occurs during evening hours when the facilities are not in use. Contracted janitorial
staff is tasked with basic general cleaning, including emptying trash and recycling receptacles,
dusting of surfaces, cleaning glass tabletops and partitions, mopping and vacuuming of floors,

filling paper product dispensers, and other general cleaning of the interior of City facilities.
Janitorial services are needed at 50 City -owned facilities, including City Hall, the Yard, the
Transit Maintenance Facility, The MAIN, two community centers, three Metrolink stations, three
libraries, SCVTV Channel 20 Studios, parking structures, and the City's park facilities,
encompassing approximately 615,000 square feet.
The current contract expires on June 30, 2022. A Request for Proposals (RFP), CW-21-22-34,
was published on BidNet on April 7, 2022, to solicit proposals from qualified vendors to provide
the City with janitorial services. The RFP was sent to 334 vendors. As a result, 29 vendors
downloaded the RFP, four vendors attended a pre -proposal meeting, and two responsive
proposals were received by the City's Purchasing division on May 9, 2022.
Unlike a bid procurement where the recommended contract award is based on the lowest, most
responsive bid, this procurement utilizes multiple weighted criteria to evaluate and score
proposals. A multiple weighted criteria procurement reinforces performance expectations and
works to ensure that vendors dedicate adequate resources to service the contract. Proposals were
scored according to the following criteria:
• Contractor qualifications, scope of work, and program management (25 points)
• Experience on similar projects and references (20 points)
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide
services to meet standards (20 points)
• Cost of services (35 points)
A panel of City staff members evaluated and scored the responsive proposals and held interviews
with both vendors. Based on the selection criteria the vendors were rated as follows:

Servicon Systems, Inc. (Servicon) offered a more detailed proposal with an emphasis on
communication, and a clear method to provide sound services for City -specific challenges. This
included a thorough layout of staffing needs and prospective janitorial routes to provide services
at City -owned facilities. Servicon provided specific details related to their approach to the scope
of work for each individual site, and a clear plan for performance review meetings, including an
initial meeting to discuss the City's preferred performance indicators and regular meetings to
review and/or revise the established performance indicators. Servicon also offered a detailed
presentation of their innovative approach to cleaning, and ongoing collaborations with industry -
leading infection prevention groups.
Staff had concerns with the cost proposal submitted by Allied Universal (Allied). Their proposal
failed to include all requested park sites and did not accurately detail the square footage for
another City facility. These errors result in an undercalculation of the square footage of space to
be cleaned, which impacts the time spent on servicing the contract and the overall cost of
services. Their proposal is not as comprehensive as the Servicon proposal, as Allied did not
provide specific details for the services to be provided at City facilities.

Packet Pg. 149
Servicon's cost proposal thoroughly addresses all components of the City's established scope of
work. Their proposal was well crafted and easy to follow, outlining the staffing, training,
equipment, and work flow required to meet the City's needs. The proposal successfully
demonstrates the firm's qualifications, and shows that Servicon has a clear understanding of the
City's scope of work and performance expectations. The proposal outlined potential operational
challenges and provided specific solutions to those scenarios. Servicon's proposal effectively
outlines the program management required to fulfill the scope of work, and it matches the City's
objectives and standards. Servicon has considerable experience providing janitorial services in
large scale office buildings, commercial campus settings, and at similar facilities in other cities.
Due to the lack of clarity within Allied's cost proposal, along with their higher proposed cost for
as -needed services and additional services, Allied's cost proposal, despite being lower than
Servicon's, was determined to be lacking and not a like -for -like comparison.
Staff recommends the City Council award a two-year contract to Servicon with three additional,
one-year renewals to provide the City with needed janitorial services. The funds requested in
addition to the base contract amount will be used for new facilities that are opened during the
contract term and for as -needed services, such as deep carpet cleaning, terminal cleaning, high
pressure water cleaning, and floor waxing.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Do not award contract to Servicon Systems, Inc.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget, the approval of the recommended action will
increase FY 2022-23 appropriations by $69,593; $12,000 from the General Fund, $8,000 from
Transit Fund, $12,000 from Cooper Street CFD Fund, and $37,593 from Areawide Fund. The
budget for FY 2022-23 will be adjusted accordingly.
