Newport will pay a janitorial service provider $2.4 million over three years to keep the 30 standalone bathrooms at parks and beaches stocked and sanitary.
The City Council approved a beefed-up contract this week with its janitorial service provider to pay $2.4 million over three years to keep 30 standalone bathrooms at local parks and beaches stocked and sanitary.
The city has incrementally increased its restroom coverage in the past year and a half but is still getting complaints, Deputy Public Works Director Micah Martin told the council Tuesday night. “When you go places, you remember the times you’ve used the restroom that was in poor condition,” Martin said. “That sticks with you.”Issues with staffing dependability and consistency arose under a different contractor, ABM Janitorial, and negative feedback increased after Newport outsourced janitorial services in 2011, according to a city staff report. That led the city to add Ed Building Maintenance last year as a supplemental custodian.
So this week the council approved a new contract for Ed Building Maintenance worth about $800,000 a year, with even more responsibilities.
