The Community Development Department 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 4CS -0003-

SYNOPSIS:
Street sweeping of all City streets will be performed six times per year in FY 2017 -18 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 City's stormwater management services. For the past several years, the City has
outsourced the citywide street sweeping to USA Services of Florida, Inc.
e 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.

will six times per year @ 177 miles per cycle split, we sweep 88.5 miles per month, 177 miles x $ 30.75 /
mile x 6 times per year = $ 32.656.50. Any Questions please call
