SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVING A CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH CHOURA EVENT SERVICES TO DECORATE THE CIVIC CENTER (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City Council continued this item from the October 16, 2018 City Council meeting, requesting that staff meet and confer with the effected bargaining units. The meet and confer has been completed. Staff is recommending that Choura Venue Services - the City's current caterer - lead decorating the Civic Center via the company, The Christmas Light Co. Guy to decorate for the holidays. The City has a history of contracting out selected holiday decorations at the Civic Center. The Choura Venue Services contract would be amended to deduct $28,131.75 from the December revenues to the City. The costs will be partially offset by the City not having to purchase trees, decorations and other supplies. Also, City staff will not be required to set up, take down and store the decorations, creating other efficiencies and cost savings. Several decoration "add-ons," with their respective prices, are included with the staff report should the City Council wish to decorate areas of the Civic Center not within the current project scope.
