TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a five-month extension of Contract No. 31215 with CBS Decaux Street Furniture, LLC (CBS), formerly known as CBS Outdoor, for ad-bearing bus shelters. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
The agreement extension with CBS Decaux Street Furniture, LLC to install and maintain ad-bearing bus shelters and refuse containers will expire before a new contract can be completed. The current agreement was entered into on January 1, 2009, and was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013, but was extended to the end of April while a new Request For Proposal (RFP) was processed.
The requirements for the new RFP and contract are in progress, but have not yet been completed. Based on the City's favorable past experience with CBS, staff is requesting an additional contract extension through September 2014 to complete the RFP process.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda Vu on April 10, 2014, and by Budget Management Officer Victoria Bell on April 9, 2014.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on May 6, 2014 to provide for uninterrupted shelter services and revenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
During this requested five month extension, estimated monthly revenue of $30,000 will continue to be deposited in the General Fund (GP) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no known local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
ARA MALOYAN, PE
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
APPROVED:
PATRICK H. WEST
CITY MANAGER
