HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolution 19-22 To: Members of Dublin City Council From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager Date: April 19, 2022 Initiated By: Robert E. Ranc Jr., Deputy City Manager/Chief Operating Officer Jay Anderson, Director of Public Service Re: Resolution 19-22 - 2022 Street Sweeping Contract Bid Acceptance Background The 2022 Operating Budget includes $119,500 for the City’s contractual street sweeping program. The scope of this contract includes street sweeping of 630 City lane miles five times a year (see attached map for the full scope of service). The City supplements the contractual service with its own street sweeper for specific areas of need throughout the year. As part of past contracts, the City has included the west lane of Sawmill Road within City boundaries. For 2022, the scope of the contract was updated to include requested sweeps of the east lane of Sawmill Road, as well as the concrete medians on Sawmill Road, between Billingsley Road and SR-161 (to include the I- 270/Sawmill Road Interchange). Further, the bid includes unit cost for additional garage sweeping and pressure washing at the City maintained Library Garage. The complete contract technical specifications are attached to this report for reference. Bids for this contract were opened on March 23, 2022. The City received one (1) bid from SCA of OH, LLC in the amount of $135,944.67. Staff thoroughly reviewed this bid, particularly as only one bid was received for this contract. SCA of OH, LLC is part of Sweeping Corp of America, the largest power sweeping service provider in the United States. Sweeping Corp of America provides municipal service throughout the Midwest, eastern, and southern United States. Sweeping Corp of America recently acquired the City’s previous street sweeping contractor, Contract Sweepers & Equipment Company. Due to consolidation of firms throughout the industry, SCA of OH is the only provider of street sweeping services in the region that can meet the scope of services the City is requesting. Staff is confident that SCA of OH can successfully meet the requirements of this contract, and there are sufficient funds in the operating budget to cover the cost of this bid.
