The City Council has reassigned all janitorial duties at the Public Safety Facility from its former custodians to an outside vendor that offered the lowest prices and whose employees can pass various legal requirements, according to a staff report.

About $210, 110 is allocated for a contract with Los Angeles Cha Maintenance, who will provide janitorial services for the facility for one year, beginning July 1.

In February, the city reassigned all non-jail Public Safety Facility custodians to other city buildings, opting to outsource all janitorial services to an outside vendor, according to a staff report. The city invited bids from 58 companies, with 19 responding. By contrast, the next most inexpensive company’s bid was $243,667, and the most expensive was $708,627.

Bids were evaluated on price, experience, responsiveness to bid requirements — which includes a company’s ability to provide employees who pass the Department of Justice written test and a Santa Monica Police Department background check.
