The Board has previously approved contracts for each of these locations. <br />The original proposal from Public Works also included contracting with Orange Enterprises (OE <br />Enterprises, Inc.) for the Orange County Library and the Justice Facility. As part of the <br />department's efforts to cut costs, Public Works is now proposing to provide service for these <br />locations, in addition to the Seymour Senior Center (currently served by OE Enterprises) using <br />in-house staff that are currently providing daytime service, and by equipping all in-house staff <br />with new, more efficient equipment. <br />Table 1 presents information about locations where OE Enterprises does, or was proposed to, <br />provide custodial service under contract during FY 2008-2009. The table also presents the <br />proposed service provider for each location during FY 2009-2010. <br />
