BACKGROUND
The City of Laguna Niguel is committed to providing a vibrant quality of life for the community. To provide the community with an aesthetically pleasing environment, the City installed 356 banners on streetlight poles located on Crown Valley Parkway, Moulton Parkway/Golden Lantern and Alicia Parkway. The City also installed banners within Crown Valley Community Park and along the roadway leading up to Niguel Hills Middle School. To properly maintain and keep the banners and hardware in good condition, the City contracts banner installation and maintenance services.
Contract services play a key role in the delivery of maintenance as they provide access to expert service that is efficient, responsive, and available as needed. In support of City Council Goal 4 (Infrastructure and Technology) of the City's adopted Strategic Plan, the Public Works Department relies on maintenance and repair services to maintain all City owned infrastructure.
ANALYSIS
Because the term of the current contract for street banner installation and maintenance is complete, staff published a Request for Proposals (RFP) (Attachment "A") in September 2023 to identify the most qualified contractor to provide street banner installation and maintenance services for the City. The goal of the RFP was to award a qualified contractor to adequately fulfill the City's needs and respond to repair requests quickly and efficiently.
The RFP for Citywide Street Banner Installation and Maintenance required bidders to provide pricing for monthly banner storage and monthly banner inspections, and rates for banner removal/installation, banner cleaning and minor repairs, installation of replacement hardware to include cost of hardware, and banner fabrication. The proposed rates and maintenance costs include all labor, tools, materials, and equipment necessary to provide these services.
In response to the RFP, three proposals were received. The proposals received were evaluated based on the following criteria: (1) Cost; (2) Completeness of the Proposal; (3) Qualifications & Experience; (4) Quality of Goods & Support Facilities; and (5) Proposer's Financial Stability. The Proposal Evaluation Summary is attached as Attachment "B". The table below summarizes the proposers, ranking, and costs.

Shine Illumination
Square Signs LLC dba 3 $41.00 $1,200.00 $92.00
Front Signs
Pursuant to Laguna Niguel Municipal Code Section 3-6-9, maintenance contracts with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more must be awarded based on the responsiveness of the submitted proposals to the RFP, the qualifications and experience of the contractors, and cost. After a thorough review of the proposals received and based on all relevant factors, staff believes Creative Commercial Services represents the best overall value to provide street banner installation and maintenance services to the City.
The results of the RFP process confirmed that Creative Commercial Services' pricing is at or below fair market rates. Over the past five years, Creative Commercial Services has provided the City with quality and responsive street banner installation and maintenance services.
Staff recommends that the City Council award a Maintenance Services Agreement to Creative Commercial Services in the not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 per year for Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2025-26, subject to extension administratively for two additional
one-year periods. In addition, each agreement will include a not-to-exceed 20% contingency of the contract in the amount of $15,000 per year for additional work for a total not-to-exceed amount of $90,000 per year (Attachment "C").
At the Strategic Plan Workshop in February 2024, staff will discuss a proposal and timeline for new banner designs and branding.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. The City Council may direct staff to reject all proposals and rebid the RFP for Citvwide Street Banner Installation and Maintenance services. Staff believes that rebidding the RFP will not result in more desirable bids.
2. The City Council may decide not to approve any contracts for Citywide Street Banner Installation and Maintenance services. This alternative is not recommended because the City would not have a contractor to address any banner or banner hardware damage or repairs and the City's Holiday Banner installation schedule would be delayed.
FISCAL REVIEW
The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Public Works Department budget includes sufficient funds for the street banner installation and maintenance services to be provided by Creative Commercial Services. Subject to City Council approval, funding for future street banner installation and maintenance services will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the Maintenance Service Agreement and has approved the document as to form.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award the Maintenance Services Agreement for Citywide Street Banner Installation and Maintenance Services to Creative Commercial Services in the not- to-exceed amount of $75,000 per year for Fiscal Years 2023-24 through 2025-26, subject to extension administratively for two additional one-year periods;
2. Approve a not-to-exceed 20% contingency per year of the contract in the amount of $15,000 for unforeseen conditions or extra work and authorize the Public Works Director/City Engineer to approve additional work with Creative Commercial Services for a total not-to-exceed amount of $90,000 per year, if needed; and,
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and future amendments to the Maintenance Services Agreement with Creative Commercial Services, subject to the City Attorney making non-substantive changes.
