If such appropriations are not made, this Agreement shall automatically terminate without penalty to the City. 4 Schedule A Background and History The city of Eastpointe is located near the southeast corner of Macomb County, immediately north of the city of Detroit. It is bound by St. Clair Shores to the east, Roseville to the north and Warren to the west. The city has a population of approximately 32,400 and operates under a council-manager form of government. In 2014, the city dissolved its parks department and contracted this service to a private vendor on a one-year trial basis. In 2015, after a successful one-year trial, the city awarded a three-year contract, with the possibility of a two-year extension to the same vendor. In 2018, the city invoked a two-year extension, extending the contract through June 30, 2020. The selected contractor will provide the traditional maintenance functions that were previously provided by city employees of both the parks department and the department of public works. It is expected that the successful proposer will provide the overwhelming majority of the work included in this proposal with its own employees. The use of sub- contractors will be minimal and will only be allowed upon prior written approval by the city’s designee. The contractor will report principally to DPWS Director Jose Abraham. Scope The following items are intended to represent the typical duties of the contractor selected to be its parks maintenance services provider. This document does not include an exhaustive list of the duties. The Contractor will provide a list of suggested duties/tasks/projects for the upcoming month to the City’s DPWS Director by the 21st of each month. The City of Eastpointe’s DPWS Director will provide a list of duties/tasks/projects assigned to the Contractor on a monthly basis (by the 24th of the preceding month). Contractor will return an estimate of the hours to perform all assigned duties/tasks/projects to the City’s DPWS Director by the 28th of the month. These lists should later be used by the Contractor for invoicing purposes. The City’s DPWS Director may assign other duties/task/projects on a daily or weekly basis depending on the circumstances of the City. The Contractor will be expected to reply within two (2) hours during the standard work day (between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.) with a quote to show the estimated hours and cost for the additional duties. The work to be conducted at the eight city parks and at the city buildings, are as follows: City Parks: 5 The Contractor Laborers will conduct clean-up and maintenance, as outlined below, around the city-owned parks, including in the garden areas and around the buildings within each park: Memorial Park, Ten Mile and Flower John F. Kennedy Park, Stephens and Schroeder Spindler Park, Stephens and I-94 Roxana Park, Roxana and Stephens Shamrock Park, Lexington and Norton Fairlane Park, behind Koepsell Center on Raven Rein Park, South Park and Henrietta Goetz Park, Lincoln and Birchwood City Buildings: The Contractor Laborers will conduct clean-up and maintenance, as outlined below, around city-owned buildings, specifically: City Hall, 23200 Gratiot; Police Department and 38th District Court, 16083 and 16101 East Nine Mile Road; Fire Department, 16370 East Nine Mile Road, Eastpointe Memorial Library, 15875 Oak Avenue, and Department of Public Works, 17750-17850 East Ten Mile Road. While the following is an extensive list, it is not an exhaustive list of tasks the contractor will be expected to provide. The city parks will “open” on May 1st and “close” on October 31st of each year, unless otherwise notified in writing. Parks Maintenance: Parks maintenance includes cleaning the parks, park buildings, playgrounds and parking lots daily. This means emptying trash cans, collecting and disposing of litter and graffiti removal, as needed. Interior of park building cleaning includes the daily cleaning of restrooms when buildings are open, trash removal, cleaning of all interior areas and set- up/take down of chairs and tables at the Patriot Building, as requested. Park Attendants: (schedule attached) Provide one Park Attendant for each of the three (3) major parks; Spindler, Memorial and Kennedy Parks.
