RECOMMENDATION
Approve a motion authorizing a contract with Fresh Style Painting, for the Citywide Facility Painting Project, in the amount of $78,000, plus a 10% contingency of $7,800.
ANALYSIS
Glendale Fire Stations 22, 28, and 29, along with the Montrose Library, are key public safety and community facilities that have served their neighborhoods for decades. The exterior paint coatings on these long-serving civic buildings have not been renewed in more than two decades, resulting in significant wear and deterioration, including widespread fading, chalking, cracking, peeling, and minor corrosion. Routine maintenance at these sites has been deferred in recent years due to operational priorities and budget constraints. However, this painting project is now essential to protect these structures from further weathering. It will restore protective coating systems for each facility, preserve the city’s professional appearance, and extend the service life of each building while maintaining full operational continuity for fire response and uninterrupted public access to the library.

All paint colors and sheens will be selected to match existing schemes for each facility.
Work will be coordinated to maintain full fire-station operations and safe, ADA-compliant public access to the library, with scheduling adjusted to minimize noise, odor, and traffic impacts. To protect public health and the environment, low-VOC products and standard environmental safeguards will be used. Upon completion, the facilities will have a durable, uniform finish that enhances curb appeal and protects these essential public safety and community buildings for years to come.
On April 15, 2025, City Council adopted plans and specifications and directed the City Clerk to advertise for bids.

After extensive review, Public Works staff found that Fresh Style Painting has submitted a responsive bid and is deemed a responsible bidder.

The Citywide Facility Painting project will take approximately three months to complete.
