Background In May of 1998, the City Council directed staff to prepare a plan and cost estimates for a return to twice-a-month street sweeping. The City Council also directed staff to initiate a side-by-side comparison of the city's street sweeping operation with a private contractor. The side-by-side comparison called for the city and the contractor to share street sweeping duties and alternate street sweeping routes. In October 1999, the City Council awarded a two-year contract (with three one-year extensions at the city's option) to Nationwide Environmental Services (Nationwide) for street sweeping services. The contract with Nationwide marked the beginning of the city's first competitive services comparison, which analyzed the cost and service quality of the two providers. Twice-a-month street sweeping began in November 1999. The competitive services comparison was launched in January 2000 (after an adjustment period to allow the contractor to learn the street sweeping routes), when staff began to track cost and performance data related to the side-by-side street sweeping program. Outcomes of Side-by-Side Comparison Staff completed a 16-month analysis of the two street sweeping programs and presented that data to the subcommittee in August of 2001. The 16-month comparison is included as Attachment 1 and found: • The Public Work's department cost to provide street sweeping service is between 5.18 percent and 11.1 percent less than the contractor's cost; and • There is no significant difference in the quality of the street sweeping performed by the Public Works department and Nationwide. The committee then requested the Public Works department prepare an estimate of the cost to perform the entire street sweeping program with city staff (Attachment 2). The Public Works department informed the subcommittee, in December, that it estimates the T 0 0 cost to perform the entire street sweeping program in-house is $518,211 for the first year (FY2002-03) and $568,382 in the second year (FY 2003-04). The first year in-house cost estimate is approximately $54,000 more than the projected cost for 2001. The cost increase is almost completely driven by staffs recommendation that the city begin buying alternative fuel street sweepers to comply with new air quality standards. The alternative fuel street sweepers cost $52,000 more than diesel street sweepers. The Public Works department's report to the subcommittee recommends that city staff begin performing the entire street sweeping program on October 1, 2002. Recommendation The subcommittee makes the following unanimous recommendation to the City Council: 1. Direct staff to provide twice-a-month street sweeping service with city staff beginning October 1 , 2002 Attachments 1. 16-Month Side-by-Side Street Sweeping Comparison 2.

The costs has been included because on-the-job injuries, and the cost to replace injured personnel, are real costs to the city, and properly incorporated in the competitive services analysis. The replacement cost (incurred in 2000) contains has two components: the injury pay paid to the injured worker ($21,734) and the cost to replace the injured worker($20,059). Absent the cost to replace the injured street sweeper driver, total cost for city street sweeping operations in 2000 would have been $210,305 (12.5 percent less than the contractor). Excluding the injury costs from the entire 16 month calculation and city costs are$286,324 (11.1 percent) less than the contractor. THE REPLACEMENT COST IMPACTS WERE DOUBLE COUNTED IN THE LAST VERSION OF THIS REPORT. **The costs to supervise the city's operations for 2000 were likely undercounted. Staff has revised the tracking methodology and estimated 2000 costs based on 2001 experience. In 2000 total costs to supervise the city's street sweeping operation was $4,713.45. Using 2001 data, this cost has been increased by$8,500. 4 215102 0 0 1 1 Side-by-Side Street Sweeping Competitive Services Analysis Quality Comparison January - April 2001 PUBLIC INQUIRES Contract Street Sweeping {Inquiries relating to level of service"} City Street Sweeping 41 26 22 Cleanliness 16 8 Missed Street/Area 3 8 Sweeper Speed 3 2 Customer Service 1 3 Property Damage/Safety 2 3 Wrong Dayrrime 1 FIELD INSPECTION SUMMARY Contract Street Sweeping (Perfect Inspection Score is 2.0) City Street Sweeping Residentiallindustrial Streets 1.900 Local Streets 1.958 1.300 Cross Gutter 1.167 2.000 Circles 1.958 1.250 Standing Water 1.250 Arterial Streets 2.000 Major Streets 2.000 1.850 Cross Gutter 1.667 1.500 Knuckles 1.667 1.900 Large Debris 2.000 2.000 Mud and Gravel 2.000 Painted & Curbed 2.000 Islands 2.000 2.000 Large Debris 2.000 1.909 Turn Pockets 1.778 2.000 Gravel 2.000 1.772 INSPECTION AVERAGE 1.757 21 inspections 24 inspections *The majority of the public inquiries received by the Public Works department regarding street sweeping are unrelated to the level of service the city or contractor delivers.

Staff estimates that had Southern California not experienced a very dry year in 2000, the reduction in the amount of debris collected from the storm drain catch basins would have been greater than 50 percent. **The amount of debris collected by city street sweepers was not tracked separately until February 2001. In February, staff initiated a three month tracking program at the City Council's request. The tracking program involved (raving city street sweepers dump their debris at Rainbow disposal (which is equiped with a scale) rather than the city maintenance yard (which is not equiped with a scale). After February 2001's weight tickets indicated a large discrepancy, staff extended the weight comparison. When the next three month's weight results proved comparable, city sweepers were instructed to resume dumping at the city maintenance yard. The debris collection total (when projected from January 2000 through January 2001) includes an adjustment for the city's slightly higher collection rate. 6 2I5102 Attachment 2 • J. CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMUNICATION To: Competitive Services Committee From: Robert F. Beardsley, Director of Public Works o Date: November 26, 2001 Subject: Street Sweeping Program by City Crews SUMMARY: In response to a request by the Competitive Services Committee, the Public Works Department has compiled the associated costs for providing the entire twice-a-month street sweeping program in-house (using the city's equipment and employees) over a two-year period. The recommended starting date for the City crews assuming full operation of the program is October 1 , 2002 so that all the components necessary to ensure a consistent and uninterrupted quality program are maintained. EOUIPMENT: The City leases two sweepers and owns three sweepers, one of which is scheduled for salvage. The existing lease on the two units expires in January 2003, at which time the City will own the vehicles outright. The additional workload associated with sweeping the entire program would require the acquisition of two new sweepers, bringing the number of daily working units to a fleet of four. Back-up units in the fleet would remain at two. At the time of each replacement, a corresponding unit would be moved to back-up and a back-up unit would be sent to salvage. The City took delivery on one new, replacement sweeper on November 19, 2001 ; however, even with this important new fleet addition, there are currently only four operational sweepers in the City fleet. This would not allow staff to launch a full-service program as there would be no functional backup equipment for the inevitable downtime that would occur. Based on the expectations of the community for quality of service and cleanliness, using a' sweeper in disrepair would only serve to create a negative image on the 0 0 program. Thus, a short-term minimum of five, functioning sweepers is essential to a viable operation. To function on a normal, low-term level, six sweepers are needed. While there is an option for purchasing non--alternate fuel vehicles before July 1 , 2002 when AQMD Rule 1186.1 takes effect, staff recommends that the City budget for and purchase alternate fuel vehicles in order to be consistent with the City's emphasis on protecting the environment, and thereby, the quality of life in Huntington Beach. If lease/purchased, each alternate fuel vehicle utilizing propane would cost $1 77,477,30. This cost includes the price of the vehicle and financing over a five-year lease period and, thus, based on the current budget of $125,000, is approximately $52,000 more expensive per vehicle over a diesel-powered unit. FUEL: Propane sweepers would be readily adaptable to the City Yard facilities where there is the largest propane tank available on a lease basis. Leasing a larger tank is not an option; so, Suburban Propane, the City's supplier, has agreed that it would increase the number of deliveries required to maintain sufficient reserve for the propane sweeper fleet. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), while an option for alternate fuel, is not a viable choice due to the lack of extremely costly infrastructure at the City Yard to fuel the vehicles. There are two CNG public stations within a five-mile radius of the Yard. The Pickens Station located at the Post Office on Warner Avenue in Huntington Beach is in close proximity, but access is too restricted for the large sweepers. The Pickens Station at the Orange County Sanitation District on Ellis Avenue in fountain Valley has sufficient room for the sweepers to maneuver easily to accomplish filling; however, it is an excessively long distance for routine use. The cost matrix on page four assumes propane fuel and does not include CNG. MAINTENANCE: Specialized alternate fuel engine repair/maintenance training for mechanics would be needed due to the impact AQMD rules will have on the City's fleet. Because training will be undertaken with or without the purchase of alternate 9 0 0 1 fuel street sweepers, the cost will be absorbed by the fleet maintenance program, and not borne by this program; therefore, it is not included in this summary. Sweeper maintenance costs increase with the age of the vehicle, ranging from approximately $6,000 in the first year of service to $16,000 in the fifth year. While warranties on new equipment cover replacement of major components such as engine drive train and hydraulic components, routine maintenance costs, including replacement of normal wear items such as brooms, drag shoes, and curtains, have been factored in. LABOR: The current street sweeping crew would be increased by two Equipment Operator/Street; however, the existing supervisory staff would not need to be increased. A Lead Worker currently oversees both the city and contract sweeping programs and it is anticipated that his time would be equal to what is currently expended. The number of vehicle maintenance staff would not increase with the addition of two street sweepers as the anticipated labor needs would be absorbed within current staffing levels. Nonetheless, the additional vehicle maintenance labor and materials costs are accounted for in the maintenance section of this report. The Equipment Operator/Street position salary is currently under review in a compensation and classification study. There is also an anticipated cost-of-- living increase that would take effect in December 2001 , and again in December 2002, depending on the outcome of negotiations. The cost of labor, therefore, has been inflated by an assumed 10% in 2002 and an additional assumed 3% in 2003. MISCELLANEOUS: Miscellaneous costs, such as the purchase of one radio and a Tach--o-Graph to supplement the existing inventory, will be necessary to outfit the expanded fleet. Additional items, such as annual uniform and safety clothing/equipment are also factored in this line item. 1� First Year Secon-dY-ear Addition of Addition of Lease" Purchases > 2 Propane I Propane Equipment $ 86,591 $ 106,486 Fuel $ 33,000 $ 42,500 Maintenance $ 50,000 $ 53,000 Labor $ 341 ,907 1 $ 363,133 Misc. Operating Costs $ 6,713 $ 3,263 Debris Disposal: This proposal does not include costs for solid waste management of debris and water from the sweeping program since the same financial impact results whether the City or a contractor does the sweeping. So, for the purposes of cost comparison between service providers this amount, while very substantial, has been excluded. 1I Chuck Scheid 8062 Ebbtide Circle HuntBch, CA 92646 19 February 2002 Honorable Mayor Debbie Cook > and Members of the City Council 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, California 92648 > Subject-. 19 February 2002 City Council Meeting Agenda Item C-1 B — Competitive Services Committee Recommendations Dear Mayor Cook, Agenda Item C-1 b recommends that all street sweeping effort be brought in-house, because, according to the staff study, the side-by-side competition with the private sector demonstrated that the city staff can do it at a lesser cost. On 2 January 2002 1 provided a letter to the city in which I concluded otherwise. I hope that you will take my 2 January 2002 letter into consideration when you are discussing this agenda item this evening. Inasmuch as I have received no response whatsoever to that letter it is possible that all copies of the letter somehow got lost in the system. Accordingly, for your convenience, I have attached a copy of that 2 January 2002 letter. Sincerely yours, C_zo.il Chuck Sch id Attachment CC-' City Administrator Chuck Scheid 8062 Ebbtide Circle HuntBch, CA 92646 2 January 2002 Honorable Mayor Debbie Cook and Members of the City Council 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, California 92648 Subject: Street Sweeping Managed Competition Dear Mayor Cook, Several years ago the Huntington Beach City Council increased the frequency of street sweeping from once a month to twice a month. The council could have authorized an increase in City Staff and equipment to handle the increased work load, but did not. Instead, council decided to have a side-by-side competition between city crews and a private sector subcontractor to determine which would be the more cost-effective — an approach the city has called "managed competition." As I understand it, each of the crews swept identical routes to gain maximum assurance of a fair competition. This effort was initiated and continued for over a year with a council sub-committee monitoring the effort_ The program culminated with a meeting on 19 December 2001 to evaluate results and develop a recommendation to be made to the full City Council. The staff conclusion was that the City performed the street sweeping task at a cost of about $1000 less per month than the subcontractor. Consequently, staff concluded that all effort should be performed in house, and additional personnel and equipment brought on board to handle the increased work load. Staff presented a cost estimate for the total task for the next two years. It was also proposed that the current subcontractor continue on until 1 October 2002, to facilitate the changeover. All three council subcommittee members voted to accept the staff recommendations, which presumably will be made to the full Council in the near future_ Unfortunately, the conclusion reached by staff that the city can do the job at a lesser cost than the private sector is fatally flawed. The city required all bidders to use a labor rate far higher than the rate the bidders typically paid their employees. Specifically, the bidders typically pay their street sweepers $16.00 to $18.00 per hour, but were required by the city to use a bid rate of $39.00 per hour. Both rates include various fringe benefits such as vacation, retirement, etc. i Chuck Scheid 8062 Ebbtide Circle HuntBch, CA 92646 It has been argued that state law requires this bid rate for this type of work_ This is just simply not true for charter cities like Huntington Beach. A memo provided by city staff at the 19 December 2001 meeting makes this very clear. It seems self-evident that forcing the subcontractor to bid using a labor rate more than twice as high as he otherwise would on a contract whose principal content is labor will produce erroneous comparisons. I suspect that use of a correct labor rate would result in the subcontractor cost being substantially less than the city cost. I believe the subcontractor should be given the opportunity to bid the same two year program that the city presented at the 19 December 2001 meeting, without placing any restriction on him as to labor rates. Then let the chips fall where they may. I do not believe that the City Council should go forward and implement the Managed Competition Committee recommendations as developed at the 19 December 2001 meeting. There are just too many questions. The playing field simply was not level for this competition.
