Agenda Report
October 21,2024I
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Police Department
SUBJECT: REJECT THE BID DATED AUGUST 30, 2024, SUBMITTED BY ATI
RESTORATION, LLC IN RESPONSE TO SPECIFICATIONS FOR
CRIME SCENE CLEANUP SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the project proposed is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), the "Common Sense" exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that may have an effect on the environment; and
2. Reject the bid dated August 30,2024,submitted by ATI Restoration, LLC. in response to specifications for crime scene cleanup services.
BACKGROUND:
Following City Purchasing guidelines, a Notice Inviting Bids for providing crime scene cleanup services was released in August on OpenGov.com procurement for 21 days.
Following the 21-day posting, one proposal was submitted.
ATI Restoration, Inc. provided a bid that was responsive to the specification, however, the bid pricing was approximately 10 (ten) times the cost of the current contract. The resulting cost to the department would be an increase from approximately $35,000 to $350,000 annually. The increase would impact our ability to conduct daily operations.
Therefore, the department is recommending to reject the bid.
The Department will conduct outreach, revise the specifications and re-solicit bids.
COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Rejecting the bid supports the City Council's strategic goal to maintain fiscal responsibility.
MEETING OF.10/21/2024AGENDA ITEM NO.7
Rejection of Bid
October 21,2024
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed contract has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section15061 (b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Such is the case with the rejection of a bid.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action, and it will not have any indirect or support cost requirements.
