additional year.
Background:
The City of Palm Desert's Parkview Office Complex is responsible to
provide janitorial services for the gross lease tenants; namely the State of
California tenants; and the common areas of both buildings. The janitor is
responsible for providing basic cleaning services and providing all the
paper, soaps, cleaning agents, and lighting supplies for the common areas

common areas are recovered through the Common Area Maintenance

charges to the tenants of the building. The cost of janitorial services for the
state tenants is factored into their rental rate.
In addition to being contracted with the City of Palm Desert, Desert
Building Services has entered into contracts with other tenants such as
the County of Riverside, Supervisor Roy Wilson's office, along with
several other private tenants. In an effort, to maintain the consistency with
the janitorial services provided to the tenants, staff requests the council
exercise a one-year extension with Desert Building Services. Desert
Building Services has agreed to keep the price for their services constant
at $73,020 annually; paid in twelve monthly installments of $6,085.
It is staff's recommendation to extend the contract between the City of
Palm Desert Parkview Office Complex and D.W. Nicholson, LLC dba,
Desert Building Services.
