15 <br />through Friday for both the Southern Human Services Center and the Seymour <br />Senior Center. Providing these services would improve the appearance and <br />comfort of these facilities for the public, and would allow immediate response to <br />spills, stopped up fixtures, etc., which can result in higher costs if not responded <br />to promptly. Having this position could also reduce travel time by Buildings and <br />Grounds staff in instances when they have to respond from Hillsborough to <br />Chapel Hill. Provision of this service also responds to daytime service needs <br />identified by Department of Aging (DOA) staff for the Seymour Center, based on <br />programmed services. For this analysis, the existing "Custodial" position <br />classification was used for cost calculations, as it has been assumed that greater <br />than 50% of services to be provided will be custodial related. <br />In order to minimize disruptions and inconvenience to customers, Public Works <br />recommends providing most custodial services after hours, whether provided <br />using in-house or contracted resources. Public Works has developed cost <br />estimates for provision of after hours custodial services using new, in-house staff <br />and has also obtained a cost quotation from Orange Enterprises for provision of <br />these services on a contract basis. Under both scenarios, custodial services <br />would be provided after normal operating hours. Services to be provided, and <br />frequency of services, have been identified by Public Works based on <br />recommended cleaning levels as provided in the Orange County Custodial <br />Services Report, and specific site conditions and services identified by DOA staff. <br />The calculations to identify additional in-house resources have been included as <br />Attachment `A'. The same services and frequency of service were .provided to <br />Orange Enterprises for preparation of their cost quotation. Due to volume <br />purchasing and standardized dispensers, it was assumed that Public Works <br />would provide dispenser products (paper towels, soap, tissue paper) under both <br />in-house and contacted scenarios. Public Works will also provide the necessary <br />trash containers and floor mats as needed for building start up, under both <br />scenarios. <br />
