TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

DATE: August 18, 2015

for Graffiti Abatement Services.

Project Manager: Sean Larvenz, Maintenance Superintendent
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve the award of the Graffiti Abatement Service Contract with Graffiti
Protective Coatings, Inc.; and
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract.
BACKGROUND
At the June 30th City Council meeting, during the discussion about the Parks Master Plan
Update, a number of residents speaking that evening noted concerns about trash, graffiti,
crime, safety, and vandalism at City Parks, open space areas and facilities. The City
Council shared these same concerns and directed staff to apply a broad "less is more"
approach, with an emphasis on pro -actively maintaining and improving the appearance
of the City's current facilities, parks and operations. Staff recommended transitioning from
a reactive, part time posture to a proactive full time graffiti removal strike team.
DISCUSSION
Staff solicited several rough order of magnitude proposals for full time graffiti abatement
services. Based on the wide range of cost ($75k to $234k), it was decided the best course
of action was to "piggy -back" on the City of Torrance's procurement action which selected
Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc (GPC) as their service provider. This course of action
was pursued on the basis of time to implement, cost, and a strong recommendation
regarding their performance over the past ten years, with the City of Torrance. GPC's
rate for the City's desired level of service was at the bottom of the cost spectrum and their
implementation time is very short, as graffiti abatement is their core business.
Staff is recommending this work be awarded to GPC. In order to expedite the
implementation of this service, staff has elected to forego the formal bidding process and
instead utilize the provision in the Municipal Code (section 2.44.050) authorizing use of
vendors selected by another agency. The City of Torrance has selected Graffiti Protective
Coatings, Inc. thru a formal Request for Proposal process, which is substantially the same
as that of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The cost for this service is a flat fee of $6000
per month. Prevailing wages are applicable to GPC's bid price.
GPC has proposed to staff this effort with one truck, with seven day per week service and
will provide additional vehicles as needed. In addition to proactive patrols, GPC will
respond to City work orders, staff requests, reports received by the web based application
and hotline calls. GPC will complete all service requests within 24 hours of notification.
GPC will provide to the City its App -Order system at no additional charge. This electronic
work order system is a green solution to work order management. The real-time web
based software system creates tremendous efficiencies and significant cost savings for
GPC and the City. The City is able to dispatch, route and monitor work orders in real-time
via the web. The technicians are able to submit work order numbers, police report
numbers, cost, surface type, street numbers and names, longitude and latitude, method,
square footage, names and phone numbers of the reporters, day and time the job was
received and completed, and before and after photos with URL's electronically in realtime
to the City.
GPC will also provide the City with its own branded App on the App Store and Android
Marketplace for RPV residents to use to report graffiti via their smart phones. This free
mobile application for City residents will assist GPC staff in quickly identifying other graffiti
within the City at beaches and trails that can only be reached by foot. Photos and GPS
data from the smart phone requests electronically feed into the web based system, where
it is electronically directed to GPC field staff. A seamless web link is also included that
allows residents to submit their requests via the City's web site. Work orders are closed
electronically in real time with corresponding electronic notification of job status sent to
residents. There is also a survey function which allows residents to rate the quality of
service provided. Surveys are sent to designated City staff.
The system is role based and is user friendly. City staff can print current real-time custom
reports and graphs within seconds on-line. App -Order shows in real-time open/closed
work orders, response times, billing and reports. Law enforcement is provided passwords
so they can map, search and track vandal activity, as well as get instant and real-time
billing reports and photos for apprehended taggers.
CONCLUSION
2
Staff recommends the approval and execution of the contract with GPC, with an
effective date of 24 August, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT
The services provided under this contract will be funded in the amount of $75,000, by

one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate of pay.
9. California Labor Code Sections 1860 and 3700 provide that every employer will be
required to secure the payment of compensation to its employees. In accordance with the
