Councilmember Olson requested clarification regarding various terms and definitions within the <br /> proposed agreement related to "labor unrest," citing there may be occasions where PGS' labor <br /> units may stand in "solidarity" related to labor matters not related to the City of Pleasanton's <br /> agreement. Bob Hilton, HF and H Consultants, responded that the language provided in the <br /> agreement is common in the industry. Under the agreement, PGS is still responsible for the <br /> provision of services, and when it is a direct employee matter, it is an expectation that PGS will <br /> work with their employees to ensure there is no service disruption. The City is in a strong place to <br /> work with PGS when labor matters are involved. <br /> There were no public speakers for this item. <br /> Mayor Thorne congratulated PGS and staff for the contract negotiations. <br /> Councilmember Brown thanked PGS for the "win-win" negotiations. They have been invested and <br /> involved in the community and provided excellent service in the past. She expressed her thanks <br /> for the "bulk-item," e-waste, and u-waste pickup programs. <br /> Councilmember Narum thanked PGS for their community service and involvement and said she is <br /> thrilled with the "bulk-item" pickup program. <br /> Councilmember Pentin expressed his appreciation to staff, PGS, and the members of the <br /> subcommittee. The PGS service has exceeded requirements of their contracts. <br /> Councilmember Olson expressed his gratitude to all parties involved in the negotiations. <br /> MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Olson to adopt and waive full reading of Resolution No. 18-1009 <br /> approving a Franchise Agreement with Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. for solid waste, <br /> recyclable materials, and organic material services and adopt and waive full reading of <br /> Resolution No. 18-1010 approving a Rate Reserve Agreement with Pleasanton Garbage <br /> Service, Inc. Motion passed by the following vote: <br /> Ayes: Councilmembers Brown, Narum, Pentin, Olson, Mayor Thorne <br /> Noes: None <br /> Absent: None <br /> 18. Consider approval of an agreement with Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre for theatrical production <br /> services for Civic Arts Presents not to exceed $130,000 annually <br /> Community Services Manager Michele Crose presented the item, which included historical <br /> background from 2010. Starting in 2013, various Request for Proposals (RFP) processes have <br /> been conducted which include a full-screening process. In 2013 there were two responsive <br /> bidders, Pacific Coast Repertory Theatre (PCRT) and Tri-Valley Repertory Theatre (TVRT), and <br /> in the 2015 and 2017 processes, only PCRT submitted a proposal. In anticipation of the current <br /> contract expiration in June 2018, the City embarked on another RFP process in October 2017, to <br /> which only PCRT responded. The bid provided exceeded the amount requested by the City. As a <br /> result, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which allowed responsive parties to <br /> establish their budgetary costs for service delivery. PCRT and TVRT provided responsive <br /> qualification documents. A PowerPoint slide was displayed which offered the comparisons which <br /> were of interest to the screening committee between the two proposals. The comparison <br /> categories included years of experience, proposed number of productions, rehearsal space, and <br /> average cost. <br /> Manager Crose noted historically, as analyzed via ticket sales, the community prefers musical <br /> productions. The screening committee reviewed and interviewed each of the organizations. The <br /> City Council Minutes Page 5 of 12 March 20, 2018 <br />
