BACKGROUND
To support operations at various City of Santa Clarita (City) parks, facilities, and events, the City contracts for portable sanitation and temporary fencing services. Staff utilize temporary fencing when restroom maintenance at various parks and Metrolink stations requires temporary closure and temporary fencing and portable sanitation at various special events, such as the Cowboy Festival, Concerts in the Park, River Rally, and Light Up Main Street.
The City conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide portable sanitation and temporary fencing services. The RFP was published and circulated via the City’s e-procurement system, BidNet, on January 26, 2026. The City transmitted the solicitation to 683 vendors on BidNet, of which 41 vendors downloaded the RFP.
Three companies provided proposals for consideration.
These proposals were reviewed and evaluated by staff based on each company’s ability to meet the specific needs of the City. Staff scored the responses using the following categories of weighted criteria:
• Contractor qualifications (25 percent)
• Experience on similar projects (20 percent)
• Thoroughness of proposal, approach to providing sound services, and ability to provide services to meet objectives and standards (15 percent)
• Schedule and ability to provide rapid response and call out (15 percent) • Cost of materials and services provided as well as discounts offered (25 percent)
The evaluation team scored the responses based on a 100-point system, with the results outlined below:
Rank Vendor Location Cost Score
1 Andy Gump, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA $96,384 76
2 United Site Services, Inc. Westborough, MA $119,223 71 3 Diamond Environmental Services LP Los Angeles, CA $104,669 68
In reviewing proposals, the evaluation team awarded the highest score to Andy Gump, Inc. (Andy Gump). The evaluation team determined that Andy Gump’s proposal offered the best overall value to meet the City’s portable sanitation and temporary fencing needs.
Staff has completed a due-diligence review of Andy Gump’s professional references and determined its work history meets the City’s standards and performance expectations. Based on the above, staff recommends awarding the contract to Andy Gump, Inc.
The requested contingency would support unforeseen park, facility, or event needs requiring additional portable sanitation or temporary fencing, as directed by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
