SUBJECT. Professional Service Agreement With Sunset Property
Services For Alley Sweeping Services
ISSUES:
Should the City execute a Professional Services Agreement with Sunset Property
Services of Irvine for alley sweeping services?
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the agreement with Sunset Property Services for Alley Sweeping
services on a twice- monthly basis.
2. Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $9,724 from the General
Fund Unappropriated Reserves, to fund the increase in cost over the expiring
contract for the remainder of the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION:
City staff currently sweeps over 200 miles of City streets each week, and selected
business areas on a more frequent basis. This greatly reduces the amount of dirt,
debris, and litter that would eventually impact water quality in the harbor and bay.
Since 2002, approximately 33 miles of improved alleys have been swept on a twice-
monthly basis. Alleyways in the City range from eight (8) to twenty (20) feet in width,
and are in a narrow "T" configuration in beach and Balboa Island areas. These
challenges necessitate the use of a relatively small sweeper that is capable of
negotiating these challenging areas while effectively mitigating dust during cleaning.
City staff sought proposals for alley sweeping services beginning June 10th. A
mandatory pre - proposal meeting was held on June 13th and attended by eleven

vendors based throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Four vendors
submitted proposals by the July 8th deadline. A summary of the proposal prices is
attached, and the lowest proposed price was furnished by CleanStreet, at an annual
cost of $70,200. CleanStreet was invited to demonstrate the proposed sweeper to
City Staff and it was determined that the equipment did not meet the City's
performance requirements. With the second lowest proposed price of $72,000,
TSCM was invited to demonstrate the capability of their proposed sweeper, however
it was determined that the equipment did not have the required PM10 certification per
AQMD Rule 1186. The purpose of this rule is to reduce the amount of dust
(particulate matter) that is introduced into the air as a result of sweeping and grading
operations. With the third lowest proposed price of $82,482 the current contractor,
Sunset Property Services, was able to demonstrate that its proposed sweeper meets
the City's performance requirement as well as the related AQMD Rules.
Therefore, an agreement with Sunset Property Services is submitted for Council
approval. The term of the agreement is for two (2) years and may be extended for
three (3) additional one (1) year terms upon agreement of both parties. This
agreement includes an annual rate adjustment based in proportion to changes in the
Consumer Price Index of a maximum of 4.0% after each 12 month period. With the
rate adjustment taken into consideration, Sunset Property Services represents the
best value for the City's alley sweeping service needs.
FUNDING:
The proposed contract is $12,282 more per year than the current contract that the
City has with Sunset Property Services and $9,724 more than anticipated in the
budget. Consequently, staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of
$9,724 from the General Fund Unappropriated Reserves into Account 3140 -8088
(Operations Support — Contract Services) to fund the difference over the remainder
the fiscal year (September 15, 2008 through June 30, 2009).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action requires no environmental review, as it is not a project pursuant to
CEQA.

Price Index, All Urban Consumers (All Items) for the Los Angeles Anaheim Riverside

sweeping on public roads to acquire and use only certified street sweeping equipment
To clarify implc_nema ^on questions, the rule also provides definitions for routine street
sweeping iparagraph (e)(17)), paved roads [Paragraph (c)(14)), and certified meet
sweeping equipment [paragraph (c)(2)).
In closing, if a local government conducts routine meet swccping on a paved road within
the boundaries of the AQMD, Rule 1186 requires use of ecrtill od stn:ct sweeping
egrupmea6 regardless of the gross vehicle weight of the street sweeper.

RE: Cleanstreet's Demonstration
Dear Mr. Harmon,
I am writing to apologize for our unsatisfactory demonstration on the alley
cleaning. We take a lot of pride in our knowledge and competence at
CleanStreet.
We operate over 100 Tymco Air sweepers. We are fully expert on these
sweepers. We operate just a couple of the smaller Tymcos. We have never
been big fans of the smaller Tymco capabilities. We are obviously not up to
speed on the proper adjustment of these smaller sweepers.
I am sorry for wasting you and your staff's time. I assure you that your
experience with CleanStreet is very unusual and is not typical.
Sincerely,
CLEANSTMETA17

Dear Maurice:
Per your e-mail request to John Howhannesian today, I have attached a copy of
the moat current PM,certified vehicles as provided by the Air Quality
Management District (AQMDI- This document was downloaded lust recently
from the internet.
Sweeper manufacturer, TYMCO must abide by the regulations set forth by the
various agencies in the design of all sweepers and each sweeper is thoroughly
checked before shipping by the appropriate authorities TYMCO representatives
and their distribution representatives regularty attend AQMD meetings to ensure
conformity to their requirements. Sunset Property Services has had TYMCO
sweepers since 1987 and we have not had any incidents of non - compliance with
this manufacturer.
Please contact me should you need any further information
