INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Chief El-Farra
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Police
Date: 11/12/2025
Subject: Approval of an Amendment to extend the agreement with Sweeping Corp of America (SCA) to provide street sweeping services for the City through June 30, 2027. (Cost: $1,323,366.81)(Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To seek City Council approval to extend the City’s contract with Sweeping Corp of America (SCA) to provide street sweeping services for the City.
BACKGROUND
The contract with Sweeping Corp of America, formerly known as CleanStreet, Inc., was approved by the City Council on January 22, 2019 with the final performance period ending on December 31, 2025.
DISCUSSION
In July 2025, the Parking Enforcement and Street Sweeping operations transitioned from the Public Works Department to the Police Department. Upon review, it was determined that the street sweeping contract with Sweeping Corp of America was set to expire at the end of the calendar year.
To ensure continuity of operations and avoid any disruption to essential services, the Police Department recomm ends maintaining the existing arrangement with Sweeping Corp of America rather than initiating a Request for Proposal (RFP) process at this time. Retaining the current contractor will allow staff to continue utilizing an established and proven system while the department becomes more familiar with operational needs and processes related to street sweeping.
Therefore, staff has determined that it would be in the best interest of the City to dispense with the formal bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section
2.50.060(G) to maintain consistency in operations and established practices.
Item 413/2025
Staff recommends extending the current agreement with Sweeping Corp of America for an additional one and one half (1.5) years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the one and one half year contract extension is as follows:
January 2026 – June 2026: $419,788.81
Fiscal Year 2026-27: $903,578.00
Total: $1,323,366.81
These amounts are included in the Police Department’s adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 and 2026-27 operating budgets. No additional appropriation is necessary to extend the said agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve Amendment No. 4 to extend the Sweeping Corp of America contract for municipal street sweeping services for one and one half years through June 30, 2027, and dispense of the bidding process pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code 2.50.060(G); and
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the amendment on behalf of the City, and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.
