DATE: June 20, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Agreement with Contract Sweeping Services, Inc. for Street and Parking
Lot Sweeping Services
Prepared by: Gary Huisingh, Public Works Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approving an agreement with Contract Sweeping
Services, Inc. for street sweeping and parking lot services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving a Contract Services Agreement with Contract
Sweeping Services, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed three-year contract is for an amount not to exceed $525,000. The
contract amount is approximately $160,000 for Fiscal Year 2017-18 and sufficient funds
have been allocated in the Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget to cover the costs.
DESCRIPTION:
The City provides street sweeping services on public residential and commercial
streets, as well as parking lots for City parks and facilities. Street sweeping removes dirt
and debris from streets, preventing clogs in storm drain inlets and reducing pollutants in
our creeks and streams. Sweepers help to protect our water quality by preventing oil,
metals, and other debris from entering our watershed.
The City contracts for street sweeping services and the current contract expires on June
30, 2017. Staff recently issued a Request for Proposals for street sweeping services
and received proposals from two vendors. After reviewing the proposals, Staff is
recommending Contract Sweeping Services, Inc. as the most responsive vendor in
terms of experience, cost effectiveness, and project plan. The other vendor proposal
was from CleanStreet, Inc. at a cost of $26.90 per curb mile, while Contract Sweeping
Services, Inc. quoted a price of $21.79 per curb mile.

Contract Sweeping Services, Inc. has been the City’s street sweeping service provider
since July 2012 and has performed effectively. They also provide this service to other
Bay Area cities, including Cupertino, San Ramon, and Pleasanton. With their proposal,
Contract Sweeping Services, Inc. included a project plan to accommodate sweeping
modifications should the City require any changes over the term of the agreement.
Quarterly meetings will be held between Contract Sweeping Services, Inc. and City staff
in order to provide quality control of sweeping services and to address any concerns
with services received from either residents or Staff.
The contract term is three years, and includes the potential for up to a 3% increase
annually.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None.

Exhibit A
CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT
CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND
CONTRACT SWEEPING SERVICES, INC.
THIS AGREEMENT for contract services is made by and between the City of Dublin (“City”) and Contract
Sweeping Services, Inc. (“Contractor”) as of July 1, 2017.
Section 1. SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Contractor shall
provide to City the services described in the Scope of Work attached as Exhibit A at the time and place and in the
manner specified therein. In the event of a conflict in or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and
Exhibit A, the Agreement shall prevail.
1.1 Term of Services. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date first noted above and shall
end on June 30, 2020, the date of completion specified in Exhibit A, and Contractor shall complete
the work described in Exhibit A prior to that date, unless the term of the Agreement is otherwise
terminated or extended, as provided for in Section 8. The time provided to Contractor to complete
the services required by this Agreement shall not affect the City’s right to terminate the Agreement,
as provided for in Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing this Agreement may be extended on a
month-to-month basis for up to 6 months upon the written consent of the Contractor and the City
Manager, provided that; a) sufficient funds have been appropriated for such purpose, and b) the
price charged by the Contractor for the provision of the services described in Exhibit A does not
increase. None of the foregoing shall affect the City’s right to terminate the Agreement, as
provided for in Section 8.
1.2 Standard of Performance. Contractor shall perform all services required pursuant to this
Agreement in the manner and according to the standards observed by a competent practitioner of
the profession in which Contractor is engaged in the geographical area in which Contractor
practices its profession. Contractor shall prepare all work products required by this Agreement in a
substantial, first-class manner and shall conform to the standards of quality normally observed by a
person practicing in Contractor’s profession.
1.3 Assignment of Personnel. Contractor shall assign only competent personnel to perform services
pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that City, in its sole discretion, at any time during the term
of this Agreement, desires the reassignment of any such persons, Contractor shall, immediately
upon receiving notice from City of such desire of City, reassign such person or persons.
1.4 Time. Contractor shall devote such time to the performance of services pursuant to this
Agreement as may be reasonably necessary to meet the standard of performance provided in
Section 1.1 above and to satisfy Contractor’s obligations hereunder.
Section 2. COMPENSATION. City hereby agrees to pay Contractor a sum not to exceed FIVE HUNDRED
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($525,000), notwithstanding any contrary indications that may be contained
in Contractor’s proposal, for services to be performed under this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this
Agreement and Contractor’s proposal, attached as Exhibit A, regarding the amount of compensation, the Agreement
shall prevail. City shall pay Contractor for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the time and in the
manner set forth herein. The payments specified below shall be the only payments from City to Contractor for
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Contractor shall submit all invoices to City in the manner specified
herein. Except as specifically authorized by City, Contractor shall not bill City for duplicate services performed by
more than one person.
Contractor and City acknowledge and agree that compensation paid by City to Contractor under this Agreement is
based upon Contractor’s costs of providing the services required hereunder, including salaries and benefits of
employees and subcontractors of Contractor. Consequently, the parties further agree that compensation hereunder
is intended to include the costs of contributions to any pensions and/or annuities to which Contractor and its
employees, agents, and subcontractors may be eligible. City therefore has no responsibility for such contributions
beyond compensation required under this Agreement.
2.1 Invoices. Contractor shall submit invoices, not more often than once a month during the term of this
Agreement, based on the cost for services incurred prior to the invoice date. No individual performing work under
this Contract shall bill more than 2,000 hours in a fiscal year unless approved, in writing, by the City Manager or
his/her designee. Invoices shall contain the following information:

o Hours must be logged in increments of tenths of an hour or quarter hours
o If this Contract covers multiple projects, all hours must also be logged by project
assignment
o A brief description of the work
The Contractor’s signature.
2.2 Monthly Payment. City shall make monthly payments, based on invoices received, for services
satisfactorily performed. City shall have 30 days from the receipt of an invoice that complies with
all of the requirements above to pay Contractor.
2.3 Total Payment. City shall pay for the services to be rendered by Contractor pursuant to this
Agreement. City shall not pay any additional sum for any expense or cost whatsoever incurred by
Contractor in rendering services pursuant to this Agreement. City shall make no payment for any
extra, further, or additional service pursuant to this Agreement.
In no event shall Contractor submit any invoice for an amount in excess of the maximum amount of
compensation provided above either for a task or for the entire Agreement, unless the Agreement
is modified prior to the submission of such an invoice by a properly executed change order or
amendment.
2.4 Hourly Fees. Fees for work performed by Contractor on an hourly basis shall not exceed the
amounts shown on the fee schedule set forth on the compensation schedule attached as Exhibit B.
2.5 Payment of Taxes. Contractor is solely responsible for the payment of employment taxes incurred
under this Agreement and any similar federal or state taxes.
2.6 Payment upon Termination. In the event that the City or Contractor terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8, the City shall compensate the Contractor for all outstanding costs incurred
for work satisfactorily completed as of the date of written notice of termination. Contractor shall
maintain adequate logs and timesheets in order to verify costs incurred to that date.
2.7 Authorization to Perform Services. The Contractor is not authorized to perform any services or
incur any costs whatsoever under the terms of this Agreement until receipt of authorization from
the Contract Administrator.
Section 3. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT. Except as set forth herein, Contractor shall, at its sole cost and
expense, provide all facilities and equipment that may be necessary to perform the services required by this
Agreement. City shall make available to Contractor only the facilities and equipment listed in this section, and only
under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
City shall furnish physical facilities such as desks, filing cabinets, and conference space, as may be reasonably
necessary for Contractor’s use while consulting with City employees and reviewing records and the information in
possession of the City. The location, quantity, and time of furnishing those facilities shall be in the sole discretion of
City. In no event shall City be obligated to furnish any facility that may involve incurring any direct expense, including
but not limited to computer, long-distance telephone or other communication charges, vehicles, and reproduction
facilities.
Section 4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any work under this Agreement, Contractor, at
its own cost and expense, shall procure "occurrence coverage" insurance against claims for injuries to persons or
damages to property that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the
Contractor and its agents, representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Contractor shall provide proof
satisfactory to City of such insurance that meets the requirements of this section and under forms of insurance
satisfactory in all respects to the City. Contractor shall maintain the insurance policies required by this section
throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be included in the Contractor’s bid.
Contractor shall not allow any subcontractor to commence work on any subcontract until Contractor has obtained all
insurance required herein for the subcontractor(s) and provided evidence thereof to City. Verification of the required
insurance shall be submitted and made part of this Agreement prior to execution.
It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of
the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be available to City as an additional
insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits
specified in this Agreement; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or
proceeds available to the named insured; whichever is greater. The additional insured coverage under the
Contractor’s policy shall be “primary and non-contributory” and will not seek contribution from City’s insurance or self-
insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 12. In the event Contractor fails to maintain coverage as
required by this Agreement, City at its sole discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost will be paid
by Contractor. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later. Each insurance
policy shall include an endorsement providing that it shall not be cancelled, changed, or allowed to lapse without at
least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City of such cancellation, change, or lapse.
4.1 Workers’ Compensation. Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain Statutory
Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance for any and all persons
employed directly or indirectly by Contractor. The Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and
Employer’s Liability Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than ONE MILLION
DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per accident. In the alternative, Contractor may rely on a self-
insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self-insurance complies
fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code. Determination of whether a self-insurance
program meets the standards of the Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract
Administrator. The insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Contractor, if a program of self-insurance
is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers, officials,
employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under this Agreement.
An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days' prior
written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City. Contractor
shall notify City within 14 days of notification from Contractor’s insurer if such coverage is
suspended, voided or reduced in coverage or in limits.
4.2 Commercial General and Automobile Liability Insurance.
4.2.1 General requirements. Contractor, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain
commercial general and automobile liability insurance for the term of this Agreement in an
amount not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence,
combined single limit coverage for risks associated with the work contemplated by this
Agreement. If a Commercial General Liability Insurance or an Automobile Liability form or
other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall
apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general
aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit. Such coverage shall
include but shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and
personal injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to property resulting
from activities contemplated under this Agreement, including the use of owned and non-
owned automobiles.
4.2.2 Minimum scope of coverage. Commercial general coverage shall be at least as broad
as Insurance Services Office Commercial General Liability occurrence form CG 0001.
Automobile coverage shall be at least as broad as Insurance Services Office Automobile
Liability form CA 0001 Code 1 (“any auto”).
4.2.3 Additional requirements. Each of the following shall be included in the insurance
coverage or added as an endorsement to the policy:
a. City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be covered as
additional insureds with respect to each of the following: liability arising out of
activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor, including the insured’s general
supervision of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor;
premises owned, occupied, or used by Contractor; and automobiles owned,
leased, or used by the Contractor. The coverage shall contain no special
limitations on the scope of protection afforded to City or its officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers.
b. The insurance shall cover on an occurrence or an accident basis, and not on a
claims-made basis.
c. An endorsement must state that coverage is primary insurance with respect to
the City and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers, and that no
insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be called upon to
contribute to a loss under the coverage.
d. Any failure of Contractor to comply with reporting provisions of the policy shall
not affect coverage provided to City and its officers, employees, agents, and
volunteers.
e. An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after
thirty (30) days' prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has
been given to the City. Contractor shall notify City within 14 days of notification
from Contractor’s insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in
coverage or in limits.
4.4 All Policies Requirements.
4.4.1 Acceptability of insurers. All insurance required by this section is to be placed with
insurers with a Bests' rating of no less than A:VII.
4.4.2 Verification of coverage. Prior to beginning any work under this Agreement, Contractor
shall furnish City with certificates of insurance and with original endorsements effecting
coverage required herein. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy
are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf.
The City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance
policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of
right to exercise later.
4.4.3 Subcontractors. Contractor agrees to include with all subcontractors in their subcontract
the same requirements and provisions of this Agreement including the Indemnification
and Insurance requirements to the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor’s
work. Subcontractors hired by Contractor agree to be bound to Contractor and the City in
the same manner and to the same extent as Contractor is bound to the City under the
Contract Documents. Subcontractor further agrees to include these same provisions with
any Sub-subcontractor. A copy of the Owner Contract Document Indemnity and
Insurance provisions will be furnished to the Subcontractor upon request. The General
Contractor shall require all subcontractors to provide a valid certificate of insurance and
the required endorsements included in the agreement prior to commencement of any
work and will provide proof of compliance to the City.
4.4.4 Variation. The City may approve a variation in the foregoing insurance requirements,
upon a determination that the coverages, scope, limits, and forms of such insurance are
either not commercially available, or that the City’s interests are otherwise fully protected.
4.4.5 Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. All self-insured retentions (SIR) and/or
deductibles must be disclosed to the City for approval and shall not reduce the limits of
liability. Policies containing any self-insured retention provision and/or deductibles shall
provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR and/or deductibles may be satisfied by
either the named insured or the City.
4.4.6 Excess Insurance. The limits of insurance required in this Agreement may be satisfied
by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess
insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall
also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City (if agreed to in a
written contract or agreement) before City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be
called upon to protect City as a named insured.
4.4.7 Notice of Reduction in Coverage. In the event that any coverage required by this
section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner, Contractor shall
provide written notice to City at Contractor’s earliest possible opportunity and in no case
later than five days after Contractor is notified of the change in coverage.
4.5 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Contractor fails to provide or
maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent and within the time herein
required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of the following remedies, which are alternatives
to other remedies City may have and are not the exclusive remedy for Contractor’s breach:
Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for such insurance
from any sums due under the Agreement;
Order Contractor to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment that becomes
due to Contractor hereunder, or both stop work and withhold any payment, until Contractor
demonstrates compliance with the requirements hereof; and/or
Terminate this Agreement.
Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES. To the maximum extent
allowed by law, Contractor shall indemnify, keep and save harmless the City, and City Councilmembers, officers,
agents and employees against any and all suits, claims or actions arising out of any injury to persons or property,
including death, that may occur, or that may be alleged to have occurred, in the course of the performance of this
Agreement by a negligent act or omission or wrongful misconduct of the Contractor or its employees, subcontractors
or agents. Contractor further agrees to defend any and all such actions, suits or claims and pay all charges of
attorneys and all other costs and expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith; and if any judgment
be rendered against the City or any of the other individuals enumerated above in any such action, Contractor shall, at
its expense, satisfy and discharge the same. Contractor’s responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations
shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law. The defense
and indemnification obligations of this Agreement are undertaken in addition to, and shall not in any way be limited
by, the insurance obligations contained in this Agreement.
In the event that Contractor or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor providing services under this
Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of
Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on
such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.

The additional cost for sweeping these streets shall be based on the per mile cost detailed in the fee schedule.
Contractor shall be capable of providing any additional equipment and personnel needed to sweep potential
development or annexation areas for the term of this Agreement.
The City additionally reserves the right to reduce the number of curb miles to be swept within a given year without
incurring an increase in the agreed per-curb-mile cost for that year.
Holidays: If Contractor is unable to perform sweeping services due to a holiday, Contractor must provide an
alternative schedule for streets missed. City shall be advised in advance of holidays to be observed by Contractor
and shall be provided with a makeup schedule that is no more than one week later. Once the makeup schedule is

Disposal of Sweepings: Contractor shall dispose of all refuse collected by hauling same to legally established refuse
disposal sites or other site approved by the Public Works Manager, or their designee. Refuse shall not be stored on

sweeping cycle. At this time, the City does not have a storage site available for debris boxes.
Water: Contractor shall provide, at their own expense, sufficient water for the street sweeping equipment
necessary to comply with this Agreement and to assure that the curb and gutter are left in a clean condition and the
amount of dust during sweeping is kept to a minimum. Water meters shall be obtained from the Dublin San Ramon
Services District. The cost of water shall be paid by Contractor and included in the unit costs for various sweeping
services.
Equipment Operation: The sweeper shall be operated at a safe and appropriate speed that will allow for maximum
debris pick-up.

requirements of the Alameda County Urban Runoff Program and the requirements of the NPDES Permit, including
preparation and submittal to the City of the monthly report which includes information regarding quantity of
material picked up during the sweeping process. Reporting procedures and forms are subject to change by the
enforcing agency.
Delays in Sweeping Schedule: In the event of delays to the sweeping schedule, Contractor shall notify the City as
soon as possible and provide a makeup schedule satisfactory to the City.
Contractor shall use and furnish at his own expense all labor, equipment, and materials necessary for the
satisfactory performance of the street sweeping and parking lot sweeping work set forth herein. After sweeping,
curbs and gutters shall be left in a clean condition. A clean condition is defined as the absence of residue in the
streets and gutters upon the completion of the sweeping operation. Sweeping shall include as many passes as
necessary to leave the street in a clean condition. Contractor shall maintain a log that records dates, times, streets,
