SUMMARY
The City of Rosemead provides street sweeping services through a contractual
agreement with Clean Street. The agreement includes performance standards

requirements. Per the agreement, all City streets are swept at least once weekly,
Monday through Friday.
The City's current street sweeping services agreement with Clean Street expires on

mutually agree to extend the term of this agreement. Staff has discussed extending the
agreement with Clean Street officials and they are willing to do so under existing
contract terms and conditions.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a six-month contract extension with Clean
Street to provide time to complete a request for proposal process; and
2. Direct staff to prepare a request for proposal for street sweeping services
DISCUSSION
The current contract for City street sweeping services expire on June 30, 2009. The.
scope of work in this contract includes providing weekly street sweeping services
throughout the community. The contract includes service levels, reporting
requirements, recycling requirements, and equipment standards.
In order to ensure that a high standard of service is maintained, staff will work over the
next several months to prepare specifications for Rosemead's street sweeping services.
Once complete, these specifications will be brought back to the City Council for further
consideration. Once specifications are approved, staff would begin the Request for
Proposal (RFP) process and engage local street sweeping firms in the bidding process.
APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: ITEM NO.
City Council Meeting
June 9, 2009
Pace 2 of 2

services, improve service levels, and ensure that City residents are provided with the

up to one-year. Staff is requesting that the contract be extended for a six-month period
to allow for time to develop a street sweeping specification and complete a formal RFP
process.
