The Town requires daily custodial services at the East Park Youth Center and routine cleaning of playgrounds at the pocket parks. Staff identified a piggyback opportunity in a City of Weston competitive bid awarded to Bel Air Maintenance, Inc. (“Bel Air”). The Town is familiar with Bel Air's level of service as we have been utilizing the firm for Youth Center custodial services on a trial basis over the past eight months and Town-wide pressure cleaning services. We have found their services in these areas are better than our other cleaning contractors. The Weston agreement is effective through March 31, 2018.

Bel Air quoted $702.00 per month daytime custodial service based off the $39.00 hourly rate for opening bathrooms, debris blow-off and litter pick up at 0.6 hours per day. The evening custodial service quote of $1,834.99 is based off the monthly Community Center price which offers the same custodial needs adjusted to the Youth Center's square footage at a unit of .451 per square foot. This price is lower per square foot than our current janitorial service contracts. The monthly cost for these services is approximately $2,600.

In addition, the Weston contract provides for routine playground cleaning services. With the Town's various tot lots, this is a much needed service as these playgrounds are regularly utilized by the youth of the community. Presently, the Town does not have a dedicated maintenance services provider for playground cleaning and disinfection at our tot lot


locations.


Utilizing these services under the contract will allow for quarterly cleaning and disinfection of the tot lots for an estimated $8,000 annually. Funding will come from the pocket parks repair and maintenance line item in the general fund.
