SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On December 13,2205, the City Administrator of the City of Shoreacres contacted the City
Manager about the possibility of La Porte providing street sweeping services for Shoreacres
Blvd. between S. Broadway and SH 146. The roadway is four-lane divided curb and gutter
concrete thoroughfare.
The latest cost per lane-mile of street for sweeping is $18.06, including labor, equipment, fuel
and maintenance. Shoreacres Blvd. is approximately 0.8 miles in length. With four curb lanes,
this totals 3.2 lane-miles, for a cost of $57.80 for each sweeping. With a 10% overhead typical
for lnterlocal agreements of this type, the total cost would be $63.58 per sweeping.
The City of Shoreacres requested six sweepings per year. The annual cost to Shoreacres for this
service would be $381.48. Shoreacres has requested an lnterlocal Agreement, similar to the one
for Fire Protection, which is attached. The Agreement is for a three (3) year term beginning
March 1, 2006 and ending on February 28, 2009, and remains in effect after that date unless
cancelled by wither party with 90 days notice. The initial charge is calculated on a cost per lane
mile of$18.36, which is adjusted March 1,2007 and in subsequent years. Sweeping will be
performed every other month, with the actual scheduling to be determined by the Cit yof La
Porte to accommodate its own sweeping needs.
Action Required bv Council: Approve an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute
an lnterlocal agreement between the City of La Porte and the City of Shoreacres for sweeping
services for Shoreacres Blvd. between South Broadway and SH 146.
