HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.7 - 1215 Approval of a New Agreement with MCE Corpor Page 1 of 4 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 15, 2016 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Approval of a New Agreement with MCE Corporation Prepared by: Dan Stevenson, Public Works Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Dublin has contracted with MCE Corporation for various maintenance services since 1984. The City Council will consider approving a new five -year agreement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the procurement as an exception to the requirement for competitive bidding; and adopt the Resolution approving agreement with MCE Corporation, Inc. for Maintenance Services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of MCE Corporation’s services (approximately $5.52 million) is budgeted within individual Operating Budgets for FY 2017-18. BASE BUDGET $ 5,217,072 ADDITIONAL SERVICES $ 299,860 TOTAL YEAR ONE NOT-TO-EXCEED $ 5,516,932 DESCRIPTION: The City of Dublin has contracted with MCE Corporation, Inc. (MCE) for various maintenance services since 1984. MCE’s corporate headquarters is in Dublin and the services provided by MCE to the City include the following: • Street Repair • Park and Facility Grounds Maintenance • Drainage Maintenance • Storm Patrol • Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Repair • Sign Maintenance Page 2 of 4 • Striping and Markings • Guardrail Repair • Weed Abatement • Bike Path Maintenance • Spill Cleanup • Maintenance Supervision • Street Tree Maintenance • Street Landscaping Maintenance • Community Event Support • Building Management and Maintenance Services There are 15 major maintenance functions, plus management, that are provided through MCE's contract, either by MCE staff or by various subcontractors hired and managed by MCE. MCE staff is highly knowledgeable of the details, means, and methods of services provided within the City of Dublin within all levels of the organization (from field crews to executive staff). Continuing to utilize MCE provides for efficiencies and consistency is a key factor in extending the existing agreement between the City and MCE. In the past, the City Council has recognized the value in utilizing one maintenance contractor for all the diverse services that MCE has provided rather than contracting with a number of different firms. MCE has conducted maintenance services for the City of Dublin since 1984 and has institutional and historical knowledge of the City. MCE has a crew assigned and dedicated to Dublin that provides a versatile workforce that is capable of handling multiple types of maintenance issues and projects. While some maintenance functions are scheduled and performed on a routine basis, other services are performed as needed or requested. Response to emergency situations that can have an adverse effect on public safety, public health, and quality of life is a critical function of maintenance staff. Providing a timely response when needed is a distinct advantage of having a crew directly assigned to the City. Emergency responses include: traffic accident cleanup, obstructions in the public right-of-way, plumbing leaks, storm flooding, spill cleanup, and missing or damaged traffic signs. MCE provides emergency response on a 24 -hour, 7 -day per week basis. MCE has been consistently flexible in providing services for the City especially as the City has grown. Year after year, Dublin has increased the City’s asset inventories, which has required expanded maintenance services. MCE has adjusted and grown service levels in conjunction with the growth of the City’s infrastructure and maintenance needs. Utilizing a single contractor for services provides for a number of benefits. One benefit of a consolidated vendor is the inherent efficiency that comes with communicating with one party. This significantly reduces the staff time needed to manage and coordinate contract work. Another benefit is the diverse range of skills of MCE employees, allowing for reassignment throughout the major service areas of street repair, facilities and landscape maintenance. Public Works and MCE meet regularly to discuss, coordinate, and prioritize the City’s maintenance needs. This collaboration also includes planning and scheduling work requests in the City’s Service Request System, which tracks work requests for facilities, streets, and parks. Page 3 of 4 MCE does not provide all the maintenance services needed by the City. These other maintenance services are either not part of MCE’s core business or are unique and require specialized contractors. Such other services are managed by Public Works staff and include: street sweeping; traffic signal and street lighting maintenance; pavement striping and marking; and specialized building maintenance, such as elevator servicing and repair. Cost Comparison City staff evaluated the value of MCE’s services against other contractors. Staff could not identify other businesses that provide all three primary combined services that include facility, streets, and parks maintenance as MCE currently does. Currently, there is no single contract service company that can provide the range of services MCE executes for the City with the same business model to meet the City’s needs. MCE’s Dublin crew only performs work for the City of Dublin. When utilizing separate companies to conduct these primary functions individually, full time crews are typically not assigned to one organization. This creates a potential gap in service, response, and knowledge specific to Dublin. As it relates to other options for maintenance services, City staff conducted a comprehensive study in 2012 that analyzed the cost for the City to bring the services that MCE provides in-house. That analysis was reviewed and compared to current rates with neighboring agencies for loaded labor costs. The former and current analyses indicate that costs to the City would be significantly higher with an in-house staff performing all services that MCE currently provides. The direct loaded labor costs for full-time, benefited City-employed maintenance staff is significantly higher than the City pays MCE for labor, as demonstrated in Table 1. MCE currently has 33 staff assigned to provide maintenance services to the City. In addition to labor costs, significant startup expenses would also be incurred by the City to recruit and hire maintenance staff, to purchase vehicles, and to purchase hand tools and other equipment needed in order to adequately furnish an in-house maintenance staff, not to mention additional benefit costs.

Contract terms have been updated to include changes in City policies as well as regulatory changes and compliance requirements, such as updated City insurance requirements, City invoice standardization, and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) prevailing wage reporting requirements. The proposed contract term is five years, which is consistent with prior contracts for maintenance services. Highlights of New Agreement  Consistent with the current contract and to facilitate fiscal sustainability, the term of the new agreement is five years with an option to extend five additional years.  Labor and Equipment rate adjustments are set at 1% annually, but adjusted in conjunction with the two-year budget cycle. In addition, the contract allows for adjustments to State mandated minimum wage increases, which was a key item to be addressed in these contract revisions.  Contract language revised to reflect current City contract standards, including insurance, labor compliance and invoicing practices.  Contract language addresses recently acquired City-owned equipment as well as addressing liability indemnification to the City by contractor.  Exception to Requirement for Competitive Bidding The City of Dublin Municipal Code (Chapter 2.36 – Contracts and Purchasing) includes a provision whereby City Council may approve an exception from competitive bidding for the maintenance and repair of facilities, buildings, and streets. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of this staff report was provided to MCE Corporation. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
