Subject:
AWARD CONTRACT FOR STREET SWEEPING SERVICES
Financial Impact:
Expense: $380,983.20
Budgeted: $435,583.00 Account # 403-80700-6300 - Proposed FY 26-27 Summary:
In an effort to minimize costs and increase efficiency while continuing to provide essential city services, the City began outsourcing street sweeping services in 2009. The City's current contract for street sweeping services expires on June 30, 2026. On May 11, 2026 the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and received three (3) responsive proposals. This action will award a contract for street sweeping services to Guardian Sweeping. After reviewing proposals, Guardian Sweeping is recommended by staff to be the awarded company. This action will award a five-year agreement with the option to extend for an additional one (1) five-year term extension to Guardian sweeping in an annual not -to -exceed amount of $380,983.20 and a cumulative five-year contract not -to -exceed amount of $1,904,916.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Award a contract for street sweeping services to Guardian Sweeping, in an annual amount not -to -exceed $380,983.20, for an initial five (5) year term with the option for one (1) additional five (5) year extension; and
2. Authorize the City Administrator to approve contract change orders up to 10% of the annual contract not -to -exceed amount; and
3. Authorize the City Administrator and/or her designee to execute all necessary contract documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
Strategic Plan Statement:
This item aligns with Strategic Goal No. 3: Infrastructure, Facilities, and Public Spaces.
Awarding this contract ensures our streets are clean, attractive, and reflective of the City's commitment to quality.
Discussion:
The City has contracted for street sweeping services since 2009. Although street sweeping 1 was initially performed weekly, budget constraints reduced service to twice a month through its current street sweeping contract. The current contract for street sweeping services expires at the end of June 2026. As contracts come to an end, it is standard practice to evaluate the programs and services provided by the existing contractor to determine whether the City is receiving the best value and to explore cost -reduction opportunities.
To this end, the City publicly issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on May 11, 2026, and three complete proposals were received on the due date of May 26, 2026. After a review of the RFPs, Guardian Sweeping was ranked as the highest-rated proposer for street -sweeping services. The estimated annual cost is based on approximate curb miles to be swept. The three (3) complete proposers' annual amounts are outlined below.
Name Per Mile Total Bid
Guardian Sweeping 43.45 $380,983.20
Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) 48.52 $425,442.00 CMAX Commercial Maintenance 53.00 $468,732.00
As illustrated above, Guardian Sweeping provided the best overall value for the City. Payment will only be made for actual curb miles swept. Exact measurements will be made and reconciled with invoices through the required installation of GPS equipment on contract sweepers that records the date, time, vehicle speed, location, when the brooms are up or down, and whether the dust -control spray equipment is active.
The current street sweeping contract, under SCA, was approximately $188,000 per year.
These new costs, with no new changes in street sweeping service or frequency of street sweeping, are as a result of increased economic volatility due to war in Iran and increased labor rates, fuel rates, and equipment costs.
Guardian Sweeping is a Norco -based firm that has been providing street sweeping services for two decades, they have experience in the roadway, public works, and street -sweeping industries with a strong focus on reliability, responsiveness, accountability, and service quality.
Guardian's primary municipal contract experience includes services provided to the City of Hesperia from July 2022 through September 2025. The scope of work included weekly arterial sweeping, monthly residential sweeping, and quarterly bike lane sweeping operations. Most complaints received by the public stem from City enforcement actions during street -sweeping periods. Based on Guardian's submitted materials in the RFP process and the lowest annual cost, it is recommended that the City Council award the street -sweeping services contract to Guardian Sweeping in an annual not -to -exceed amount of $380,983.20 and a cumulative five- year contract not -to -exceed amount of $1,904,916.
Financial Summary:
Guardian Sweeping is proposing a curb -mile price of $43.45 for curb -mile sweeping service.
The recommended contract amount for Sweeping services is $380,983.20 per year. In addition, the Guardian Sweeping contract includes sweeping the City's eleven (11) parking lots and nine (9) alleys.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance
City reserves the right to review any and all of the required insurance policies and/or endorsements, but has no obligation to do so. Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all times during the performance, including any extension thereof, of this Agreement.
Consultant shall obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect during the life of this Agreement, including any extension thereof, all of the following minimum scope of insurance coverages:
1. Commercial General Liability Insurance
Broad -form commercial general liability, with coverage at least as broad as the most current version of ISO Commercial General Liability coverage form CG 00 01, in a form at least as broad as ISO form CG 00 01 04 13, and shall include insurance for premises and operations, products/completed operations, broad form property damage, blanket contractual liability, independent contractors, personal injury or bodily injury, and personal and advertising injury with a policy limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) general aggregate. The aggregate limit, encompassing the above coverage, shall apply separately to this project/location. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the specified minimum limits, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.
2. Business Automobile Liability Insurance
Business automobile liability for all owned, hired, leased, and non -owned vehicles at least as broad as the most current version of ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01, with a policy limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per accident. If Consultant maintains higher limits than the specified minimum limits, City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.
3. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance Workers' compensation insurance as required by the State of California and Employer's Liability Insurance with a minimum limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for any employee or employees of Consultant. Consultant agrees to waive and to obtain endorsements from its workers' compensation insurer waiving subrogation rights under its workers' compensation insurance policy against the City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for the City and to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers' compensation insurance policies.
By signing this Agreement, the Consultant acknowledges and agrees to the following:
20 I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Workers' Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
The Consultant shall also comply with Section 3800 of the Labor Code by securing, paying for, and maintaining in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement, complete workers' compensation insurance, and shall furnish a certificate of insurance to the Project Manager before execution of this Agreement by the City. The City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers shall not be responsible for any claims in law or equity occasioned by failure of the Consultant to comply with this Section.
4. Standards for Insurance Companies
All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commission to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders' rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best's Key Rating Guide.

1. The commercial general liability insurance policy and business automobile liability policy shall be endorsed to contain the following: The City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers are additional insureds with respect to: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of the Consultant pursuant to its contract with the City; products and completed operations of the Consultant; premises owned, occupied, or used by the Consultant; and automobiles owned, leased, hired, or borrowed by the Consultant. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Contractor's insurance at least as broad as one of the following ISO ongoing operations forms: CG 20 10 or CG 20 26 or CG 20 33 (not allowed from subcontractors), or CG 20 38; and one of the following ISO completed operations forms:
CG 20 37, 2039 (not allowed from subcontractors), or CG 20 40.
2. Said policies shall not terminate, nor shall they be cancelled or coverage reduced, without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to the City. In the event of any cancellation or reduction in coverage or limits of any insurance, Consultant shall forthwith obtain and submit proof of substitute insurance. Should Consultant fail to immediately procure other insurance, as specified, to substitute for any cancelled policy or reduction in the required coverage limits, the City may procure such insurance at Consultant's sole cost and expense.
3. The Consultant's insurance coverage shall be primary insurance coverage at least as broad as ISO CG 20 01 04 13 as respects the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers. Any other insurance maintained by the City of Placentia shall be excess and not contributing with the insurance provided by this policy.
4. Any failure to comply with the reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City of Placentia, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers. 21 5. Defense fees and costs shall not deplete the limits of any insurance provided under this Agreement.
6. The Consultant's insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.

8. Consultant agrees to waive, and to obtain endorsements from insurers waiving, subrogation rights against the City, its officers, officials, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Consultant for the City and to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their insurance policies.
9. Coverage shall be on a standard occurrence form. Claims -made forms are not acceptable, except under the Professional Errors & Omissions ("E&O") Liability policy.
