Body

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

Unprecedented current events related to COVID-19 have overwhelmed the County’s current custodial staff and it was determined a janitorial contractor was needed as soon as possible to mitigate risk and exposure.  As an emergency, Pro-Line Cleaning Services, Inc. was verbally directed to assist with routine cleaning services at the County’s new Public Safety Facility and they began services on March 17, 2020.

 

Contract for Services No. 4832 was submitted for rush processing shortly thereafter.  The contract will provide basic routine janitorial services five days a week on a month to month basis for a maximum of six months at $7,810 per month for a total not to exceed of $46,860.  The County can terminate this agreement at any time without cause.

 

The Division recommends the Board authorize the County Contract Administrator to issue a retroactive Notice to Proceed effective March 17th, 2020 and authorize the Purchasing Agent to sign retroactive agreement No. 4832.

 

Being this agreement is temporary and short term in nature the Division further recommends the Board, pursuant to Article II, Section 210b(6) of the El Dorado County Charter, make findings that the ongoing aggregate of the work to be performed is not sufficient to warrant the addition of permanent staff.

 

ALTERNATIVES

County Custodial Staff were already stretched thin with the new facility coming online and current events have put their workload well beyond maximum capacity.  Absent the retroactive Notice to Proceed the contractor will very likely cease work altogether leaving the County incredibly shorthanded for custodial needs.
