BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City issued Request for Proposals, (RFP), for litter pickup services in various City parks on January 9, 2024. The City received one response from the incumbent, Pristine Texas Rivers. The contract will support services in Landa Park, Hinman Island Park, Prince Solms Park, and River Acres Park on weekdays, weekends and holiday, and during the peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The Parks contract specifies commercial-type litter collection/removal services located within the four parks used by general park visitors and litter on the ground in these parks (not on the riverbanks). During the off-season (October and November), the contract will redirect services to smaller services which allows the Park Maintenance staff additional time to focus on preventative maintenance tasks such as landscape maintenance, facility maintenance, identifying and addressing safety issues, turf care and special project implementation.
After review and negotiations, the City is recommending Pristine Texas Rivers for award. This is a 5-year annual contract with 4 one-year increment renewals. The estimated cost of the contract as proposed is $150,000. In FY 2023, the City spent approximately $130,000.
ISSUE:

FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the contract described above has been incorporated in the FY 2024 adopted budget for Parks and Recreation. Therefore, sufficient funds are available for the referenced annual contract.
