Explanation
§ As a part of the operation of the LYNX Blue Line and CityLYNX Gold Line, CATS must ensure rail lines are unobstructed by debris.
§ CATS currently maintains approximately 20 miles of rail right of way along the existing LYNX Blue Line, which includes 15 miles of light rail. An additional 12 stations will be added with the completion of the Blue Line Extension.
§ This contract is for removal of trash on the actual rail road track where the trains operate through the light rail stations and approximately 100 feet to the north and south and is very labor intensive work.
§ On April 12, 2017, the City issued a SBE Only Request for Proposals (RFP) for Right of Way Trash Removal Services.
§ Green’s Commercial Cleaning, Inc. best meets the City’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost and responsiveness to the RFP requirement.
§ The contract expenditure for the two year period is $75,000.
