Committee recommends council approve custodial contract for John C. Saragosa Oxnard Transit Center
Summary
The Public Works and Transportation Committee heard a presentation from Brian Yanez and recommended the City Council approve a one-year custodial agreement with Premier Property Preservation LLC starting Feb. 1, 2026, with up to four one-year renewals and a not-to-exceed total of $700,000 if fully extended. Staff said TDA fund 212 will cover FY2025–26 costs; no general fund money will be used.
Brian Yanez, assistant director for public works, told the Public Works and Transportation Committee on Dec. 9 that staff recommends the City Council approve a one‑year custodial services agreement with Premier Property Preservation LLC for the John C. Saragosa Oxnard Transit Center, with options for four consecutive one‑year extensions.
The agreement would run from Feb. 1, 2026, through Jan. 31, 2027, for the initial term, with renewals extending to Jan. 31, 2031, and a not‑to‑exceed total of $700,000 if all option years are exercised. "The total cost for this agreement with Premier Property Preservation LLC should not exceed $700,000 through 06/30/2031," Yanez said, describing the term and cap.
Yanez described the transit center—identified in the record as the John C. Saragosa Oxnard Transit Center (OTC) at 201 East 4th Street—as a regional multimodal hub serving Metrolink, Amtrak and regional and local transit providers. He said the facility contains a two‑story, roughly 1,300‑square‑foot brick building on about five acres with an indoor waiting area, concessions, a cafe, seating, restrooms and security services.
On procurement, staff said the purchasing department released RFB25-15 on Sept. 22, 2025, with a submission deadline of Oct. 22, 2025; the request for bids was sent directly to three vendors and posted online, and the city received six qualified bids. The agreement would continue the OTC’s long‑standing practice of using contracted custodial services; Yanez said the outsourced team handles trash removal, floor care, graffiti removal, window cleaning and restroom and break‑area maintenance, and supplies cleaning products.
On budget, Yanez said "sufficient funds are available in the city council approved OTC operating budget for fiscal year 2025 through 2026 in the Transportation Development Act, TDA, fund 212," and that funding for future years will be requested through the annual budget process. He added that no general fund money will be used. The presentation noted the contract also includes estimated one‑time costs staff may request as needed, which are covered within the stated not‑to‑exceed amount.
The presentation concluded with no vote or formal tally recorded in the transcript; staff asked that the committee recommend council approval and authorization for the mayor to execute the agreement. The City Council will consider the contract and any formal action at a subsequent meeting.
