Approval of this item will authorize the City to reject RFP 19-Parks-010 for contracted janitorial services and authorize the city manager to add three (3) additional full-time positions and one (1) part-time position in the Facilities Services Directorate.

Last year, city staff began cleaning all the fire stations, Public Works administration building and the parks administration building which has been a success and savings.
