To authorize the Chief Executive Officer to extend the existing Janitorial CEA agreement with Employment Development Services (EDS) for a term of three years for an amount not to exceed $1,835,520.70.
end
ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
On March 1, 2025, RTA entered into a pilot CEA agreement with Employment Development Services (EDS), an organization contracted with Goodwill, to provide janitorial services supporting the maintenance and cleanliness of the agency’s facilities. Since the inception of the agreement, EDS has demonstrated consistent performance and reliability, delivering high-quality janitorial services, ensuring that operational standards are met across all serviced locations.
As the current agreement approaches its expiration date, the continuation of these services remain essential to sustaining clean, safe and functional facilities.
end
DISCUSSION:
EDS has consistently provided high-quality janitorial services. Staff are recommending a continuation of services for three (3) years to ensure uninterrupted service while maintaining operational efficiency and continuity. Based on current service needs and anticipated facility requirements, the total cost for the three (3) year extension is projected not to exceed $1,835,520.70.
The extension will allow the agency to continue receiving necessary janitorial support while also providing sufficient time to evaluate long-term service strategies and procurement options.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this extension is made available through local account 01-2843-99-7621-127-89-00-00000-00000 with a total amount not to exceed $1,835,520.70.
