Custodial contract charges are reimbursed by County departments that occupy the facilities based on an average cost per square foot times the percentage of usable space each department occupies or billed as requisition work to County departments for facilities not charged a per-square-foot cost for custodial services. Sufficient appropriation is included in the 2021-22 Real Estate Services Department - Facilities Management (RESD-FM) budget (7303001000) and will be included in future recommended budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
RESD-FM is responsible for providing custodial services for County-owned and some leased facilities.
An additional 80 locations in the County require custodial services, both routine custodial services and COVID related services with specific approval by the County. Given the number of buildings in the County that require service, the geographical size of the County, and the lack of additional available employee resources, the County has contracted with vendors to provide custodial services to these 80 locations for approximately 20 to 30 years, depending on the location.
RESD-FM recently changed its approach to contracting for the custodial services at these 80 locations in order to reduce the number of contracts requiring administration, increase efficiency, elevate quality of services and reduce costs. RESD-FM divided the County into six custodial zones with the intent of having six contracts only, rather than approximately 60. This change in approach does not expand the contracted services and will not result in a reduction of employee resources.
The recommended contract in an amount not to exceed $4,949,260, is necessary given the status of available employee resources, and will serve the economic interests of the County. Contracts for each of the remaining five zones will be presented separately, with each having an individual Board agenda item.
San Bernardino County currently does not have available employee resources to complete the custodial work required to serve 13 locations in the area identified as Zone 4 West San Bernardino, and San Bernardino County’s economic interests are served by approval of the recommended contract.
Approval of this item will award one five-year contract to Guadalupe Medina dba Santa Fe Building Maintenance, in an amount not to exceed $4,949,260, to provide custodial services for 13 County-owned buildings in the area identified as Zone 4 West San Bernardino.
