Council approves one‑year extension for custodial services after questions on contract amount
Summary
Council approved a 12‑month extension of the custodial contract with Lee's Pristine (Lease Pristine) despite questions from a council member about an apparent large increase in the contract base amount; officials said the action exercises a one‑year option, and the resolution passed by roll call.
Council debated resolution 2025‑296, which authorizes an extension of the custodial services contract with Lease Pristine for an additional 12 months beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
Councilwoman Brunson said she reviewed prior contracts and was concerned the extension appeared to increase the base contract from $478,358.52 to $956,717.04 for the 12‑month extension, and asked the manager to read the resolution language aloud because the draft appeared inconsistent.
Manager Harris and the clerk explained the procurement structure: the council had previously approved a one‑year contract with a one‑year option; the resolution exercises the option, which adds the additional 12 months to the agreement and adjusts the contract accounting accordingly. Harris said bills owed to certain vendors would be entered and paid by year end.
After discussion the council voted by roll call to approve the extension; the roll call recorded five yes votes.
