The Facilities Management Division of the Public Works Department is seeking to award a six-month contract extension for custodial services at Fresno City Hall to Lincoln Training Center of Fresno, CA (LTC). The initial Request for Proposal (RFP) was awarded in March 2015 for three (3) years with two (2) optional extensions. Both extensions have been utilized in 2018 and 2019, respectively, with the 2019 extension expiring in March of 2020. Due to extenuating circumstances including the COVID-19 pandemic and Facilities staffing challenges, LTC has continued to work with extensions. The Facilities Management Division of the Public Works Department is requesting a 6 month extension to be able to complete the RFP process and award a new contract.

In March 2018 Purchasing approved the first of the two extensions. In March 2019, Purchasing approved the last of the two extensions, with an expiration date of March 18, 2020. Due to staffing and other circumstances including the COVID-19 pandemic, Purchasing has extended the contract to January 31, 2021.
