REQUEST:
The Public Works Department / Stormwater Division requesting authorization to issue a
purchase order to USA Services of Florida, Inc. in the amount of $32,656.50 for citywide
street sweeping services for one year, piggybacking off City of Jacksonville contract #CS-
0003-16.
SYNOPSIS:
Street sweeping of all City streets will be performed six times per year in FY 2016 -17 by
USA Services of Florida, Inc., at a total cost of $32,656.50.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. Street sweeping of all City- maintained streets is performed six times a year as part of
the Public Works Department's stormwater management services. For the past
several years, the City has outsourced the citywide street sweeping to USA Services
of Florida, Inc.
. Some of the benefits of street sweeping include:
o Stormwater runoff management: Street sweeping removes debris from roadway
gutters which can quickly clog storm drains and block stormwater runoff
pathways.
o Stormwater quality: Street sweeping prevents roadside sediments containing
nutrients and harmful waste products from being washed into stormwater
ponds, creeks, and lakes. These products impair water quality and can be

harmful to fish and wildlife.
o Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) credit: The City receives TMDL credit
for street sweeping, measured in pounds of material swept. Street sweeping is
one of the most cost effective methods of obtaining TMDL credits.
o Public safety: Street sweeping removes roadside debris and lessens the
opportunity of skids and collisions, and also allows drivers to safely judge
distance to curbs and roadway edges.
o Pedestrians, Runners, and Cyclists: Construction or roadway debris not only
creates unsightly conditions, it can create hazards for pedestrians, runners and
cyclists. Periodic street sweeping helps to minimize these hazards.
USA Services will perform a total of six (6) citywide sweeps of all City- maintained streets,
at a total cost of $32,656.50. USA Services typically will sweep half the City streets each
month, alternating between the east and west sides of the City such every street is swept at
least once every two months.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of street sweeping for one year is $32,656.50, funded by the Stormwater
Utility Fund.

Subject: Sweeping price proposal FY 2016 -17
Good Morning Zynka:
Once again we can piggyback off the City of Jacksonville Contract. Our price per mile remained the same
$32.75 with a $2.00
Per mile credit with the city handling the debris = $30.75 per mile. The Sweeping cycle will be six times
per year @ 177 miles
Per cycle with the cycle split we sweep 88.5 miles per month. 177 miles x 30.75 /mile x 6 times per year =
$32.656.50 per year
Any questions please call
