Protect Description
The steam cleaning of 227,030 square feet of Lithocrete sidewalk and designer
roadway pavement, trash cans, benches, and bus canopies needs to be completed on
regular basis in order to remove debris left behind from food spills, fishing, and bird
activity. The intervals range from twice - weekly cleaning of sidewalks in high- traffic areas
during the summer to quarterly cleaning of benches and bus canopies.
Proposal Process and Analysis
On April 1, a copy of the RFP was mailed to eight companies on file with the General
Services Department. The deadline for submitting a proposal to the City was April 13.
Prior to this deadline, the City received four proposals for steam cleaning services.
Cost Information
Each vendor was required to submit a total cost that included separate cost proposals
for each of the following areas: Balboa Village, Marine Avenue, McFadden Square, and
Corona del Mar. As the following chart indicates, HydroBlast submitted the lowest,
responsive proposal.

HydroBlast submitted the lowest, responsive proposal. Based in Orange, HydroBlast
has provided sidewalk steam cleaning and other similar cleaning services utilizing a
closed -loop cleaning process for ten years. HydroBlast holds contracts with the City of
Santa Ana and Industrial Cleaning Professionals. HydroBlast provided a satisfactory
on -site demonstration of their equipment and technical knowledge of steam cleaning
practices that recover waste water runoff.
Financial Review
Funding for this agreement will be included in the Fiscal Year 2010 -11 budget. The
current annual cost for sidewalk steam cleaning services under the current contract is
$136,000 per year. Based on the proposal from HydroBlast of $179,040, this
agreement would represent an increase of approximately $43,040 per year.

Consistent with current practice, staff will continue to evaluate the service levels and
frequency on a per -site basis in order to reduce costs, based upon weather and the
amount of debris.

preceding the calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made and the
denominator of which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar
month one (1) year prior. For example, if the adjustment is to occur effective June 1,

Index" to be used in such calculation is the Consumer Price Index, All Urban
