SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR ANNUAL GRAFFITI
ABATEMENT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 91-39
approving performance specifications and authorizing advertisement
for bids for annual graffiti abatement services.
BACKGROUND
On July 16, 1990, the Community Development Department submitted to
the City Council recommended actions on a comprehensive approach to
the stabilization of Tustin's Southwest Neighborhood. One
component of the Southwest Neighborhood Stabilization Program was
a graffiti abatement element developed to facilitate the removal of
graffiti from private property. This information was updated on
October 15, 1990, when the Community Development Department
submitted a proposed study outline for the graffiti component of
the Southwest Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
Funding for the graffiti removal program was provided through a
transfer of unexpended Housing and Community Development (HCD)
Block Grant funds from the previously approved Commercial
Rehabilitation Program from calendar year 1988/89. The City
Council approved this $20,000 transfer through a contract between
the City of Tustin and HCD on November 19, 1990.
In preparing a bid package for graffiti removal services, staff
contacted local cities that use private contract services for
graffiti abatement and requested copies of their graffiti abatement
bid packages to gather information on the different procedures used
by the cities. As a result, the attached package is a customized
bid package for graffiti abatement services in the City of Tustin
that addresses the specific characteristics of the community. The
proposed bid package has been reviewed and approved by the State
Office of Housing and Community Development.
The bid package developed by staff includes a detailed procedure to
be followed by the contractor in the documentation and removal of
- graffiti on private property in the City of Tustin. For example,
the proposed contract will require the selected contractor to

obtain an order to proceed from the Community Development
Department and then to photograph the graffiti and begin removal
within three (3) working days of notification by the Community
Development Department. Following removal of the graffiti the
contractor will photograph the treated surface and then submit
documentation of completion to the Community Development
Department. Within 30 days following this submittal, the
contractor will be compensated for the graffiti abatement services
performed.
In anticipation of City Council authorization to advertise bids for
graffiti abatement services, the following schedule of events has
been developed:
