<br />WS – Item 7 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 7 <br /> <br />Date: December 7, 2020 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />Re: Cleaning Proposal <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City began contracting out cleaning services in 2011, with Jani-King being our <br />service provider until 2018. Since then, Coverall, Inc., has been providing cleaning <br />services for City Hall, Police Department, Public Works, Fire Station #1, and Fire Station <br />#2. <br /> <br />Staff is not satisfied with the overall cleaning services. Attempts to address our concerns <br />have not resulted in satisfactory improvement. <br /> <br />Marsden Services is one of the largest privately-owned facility service providers in the <br />United States. The attached proposal provides a comprehensive view of the Marsden <br />Services operations including hiring, training, staffing levels, and quality assurance <br />processes. Detailed pricing for each facility is summarized on page 14. Additional time <br />and disinfectant costs have been built into the proposal to address the ongoing COVID <br />pandemic concerns. Pages 21-29 outline the cleaning detail for each of the facilities. <br /> <br />Monthly Cleaning* <br />City Hall and Police Dept (5 times per week) $3,856.00 <br />Public Works (3 times per week) $1,044.60 <br />Fire Station #1 (2 times per week) $631.58 <br />Fire Station #2 (2 times per week) $691.82 <br /> * Includes labor, chemicals, equipment (except scrubber), workers comp, general <br />liability insurance <br /> <br />Staff recommends executing a services agreement with Marsden Services for a period of <br />six months. This should give us enough time to determine whether we see noticeable <br />improvement or should consider other options. Marsden’s existing clients in Lino Lakes <br />include Wargo Nature Center, Health Partners, and Wells Fargo. The President of <br />Marsden Services resides in Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Direct staff to place on the December 14, 2020 City Council meeting agenda for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Marsden Services Proposal
