The Town ofDanville and the City of San Ramon have provided in-house sweeping in the past and have returned or are planning to return to contract service. The City of Pleasant on also contracts with A-I Enterprises. The service provided by A-I has been excellent in the past. Staff receives very few complaints regarding street sweeping, and most of these are the result of conditions beyond A-I' s control such as parked cars. Problems are dealt with promptly, and A-l's personnel follow up with the residents to make sure they are satisfied with the service. The rates proposed by A-I Enterprises are 5% above the current unit costs. The contract contains a clause which limits future increases to the Consumer Price Index (Urban Wage Earners) percentage of increase. During the past five years, these increases ranged from about 1.9% to about 3%. On this basis, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution awarding the five year contract to A-I Enterprises. e:: ".'t.:- e. Page 2 RESOLUTION NO. - 97 e.
