BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clarita has approximately 438 bus stops located within the City limits, of which 296 are equipped with shelters, benches, and/or trash receptacles. In order to ensure these City amenities are properly maintained to our high standard, the City contracts with a private sector firm to visit and clean each City -owned bus stop amenity on a regular basis. The contract with the City's current provider, Brigadier Corporation, is up for renewal. Since the City exercised the two successive one-year options included in the original agreement, an Invitation to Bid was released on March 27, 2011. The Purchasing Division, in partnership with the Transit Division, issued an Invitation to Bid for Trash Maintenance and General Cleaning Services of Bus Stops. The notice was published two r 0 "PROWED times, on March 27, 2011 and April 1, 2011, and notifications were sent to ten known suppliers on file, as well as the Chamber of Commerce and the Valley Industry Association (VIA). Additionally, 31 firms downloaded the bid package from the City's website. As a result, six suppliers submitted a bid opened by Purchasing on April 28, 2011.

As a result, the bid was determined to be non-responsive. Santa Clarita Municipal Code § 3.12.205 Support of Santa Clarita Businesses states that the lowest bid or quote submitted by a Santa Clarita business that is within ten percent (10%) of the lowest bid or quote, whether or not that bidder is the second lowest bidder, may be deemed to be the lowest bidder if the bidder agrees to reduce its bid to match the bid or quote of the lowest bidder. Steven R. Rodgers has agreed to reduce their bid to match the lowest bid. Therefore, in accordance with S.C.M.0 § 3.12.205, staff recommends Steven R. Rodgers be awarded the contract to perform trash maintenance and general cleaning services of bus stops within the City of Santa Clarita. This contract is for one year with two successive one-year options to be instituted at the City's discretion. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the City Council.
