Description) Finance: Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No. J fF CITY OF SAN BERN/' 41DINO - REQUEST V I COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT As part of the FY 93/94 budget review, a number of options were presented to the Mayor and Council relative to balancing the budget. One of those options involved exploring the issue of privatization of City services where competitive markets existed. This recommendation was made with the understanding that privatization would be accomplished through attrition and would not involve layoffs. In order to explore this issue in more detail, a committee was established consisting of the Assistant City Administrator, City Treasurer, Public Works Director, Assistant Director of Public Services, Park Maintenance Superintendent and Facilities Manager. In addition, representatives of the SBPEA representing the Middle Management Employees bargaining unit and representatives of the SBCEA representing the General Employees bargaining unit have attended the meetings with this committee. The purpose of the committee is not only to consider privatization opportunities but also to look at ways of becoming entrepreneurial in the delivery of City services. The following pilot projects are currently underway: 1. Park Maintenance services were initially recommended to be evaluated on a pilot project basis for privatization. On September 7, 1993 , the Council authorized the Purchasing Agent to solicit bids for contract landscape maintenance services for five locations within the City totaling 17.49 acres. These five locations in the past required_ the services of two park maintenance workers on a full time basis at an annual cost of $61, 000. A contract was awarded to Excel Landscaping on December 16, 1993, in the amount of $23 ,800 for the first 6 months. This contract is currently underway and is being closely coordinated by the Parks and Recreation staff. 2 . Tree trimming services were also evaluated as a pilot project for privatization. On December 6, 1993 , a contract amendment was awarded to West Coast Arborists to perform tree trimming services in residential areas. The contract amount was $70,700 and it represented funding from one vacant Tree Trimmer position and one vacant Lead Maintenance Worker position. This contract is also ongoing but the progress and quality of work performed to date is positive. 3 . Water treatment and filter replacement maintenance services for the heating and air conditioning equipment at various City buildings including City Hall, Police Station and Carousel Mall is the 3rd project underway. On February 7, 1994, Council authorized the solicitation of bids for this service. 75.0264 This service in the past has required the services of one Electrical and HVAC Mechanic on a full time basis at an annual cost of $41, 000. It was estimated that this contract could be performed at $32 , 000/yr. However, the actual costs will not be known until bids have been received. The 4th pilot project recommended for privatization is maintenance painting of City buildings. This activity was selected because of a number of factors including: (1) the existence of a competitive market; and (2) the City has successfully used contract maintenance services in this area in the past. In addition, there is currently a vacant Maintenance Painter position which is budgeted at an annual cost of $32 , 000/yr. Bid specs have been prepared which detail the scope of painting services to be provided. It is estimated that this contract could be performed at an annual cost of approximately $28 , 800. The actual costs, however, will not be known until the bids have been received. Since this contract is a pilot project, it will be closely monitored for contract compliance so that a complete evaluation can be made at the end of the contract period. The 5th project recommended for privatization is custodial services for 9 City buildings listed in Attachment A. The City has used the services of part-time custodians in the past to accomplish this work. There are a number of vacancies in part-time custodians which will cover the cost of the contract. It is anticipated that the annual contract for custodial services will be approximately $29, 000/year. This compares to an annual cost of approximately $34, 000/year to hire part-time custodians. Other programs are also being evaluated at this time as candidates for privatization. Again, this approach will only be used in those areas where vacant positions exist. The committee is also evaluating other programs to privatize. As these evaluations are completed, recommendations will be made to the Mayor and Council to consider other programs for pilot projects for privatizing. / s FRtD WILSON IM SHARER Assistant City Administrator Facilities Manager ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF WORK vendor is to provide custodial services to 9 City buildings as per the attached schedule.
