8. AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE GRAFFITI REMOVAL PROGRAM The City’s contract with Urban Graffiti expired in January 2024. To allow for a continued graffiti removal service while the City processes a new Request for Proposal, the City entered into an interim contract agreement with Urban Graffiti which is to expire on July 27, 2024. Staff is seeking authorization to advertise Request for Proposals to continue the City’s contract graffiti removal program. Recommendation: That the City Council authorize and direct the Community Development Director to advertise Request for Proposals to continue the implementation of the City's graffiti removal program. Fiscal Impact: Graffiti removal costs are budgeted within the City's General Fund and shared between the Community Development and Public Works Departments. It is anticipated that the Fiscal Year 2024-25 proposed budget will be sufficient to accommodate the cost of the new contract. The proposed contract is for one (1) year, with the option to extend annually (contingent on satisfactory contractor performance) for a total of five (5) calendar years, beginning July 28, 2024. Future funding allocations beyond FY 2024-25 will be addressed through the annual City budget process.
