HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.e Date: June 3, 2019 Item No. APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA FOR THE PROVISION OF AN INSTITUTION COMMUNITY WORK CREW (ICWC) Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a contract with the State of Minnesota for the provision of an Institution Community Work Crew. Overview The State of Minnesota, through the Commissioner of Corrections, makes ICWCs available to cities for a variety of work projects. The ICWC consists of a crew leader and up to 10 offenders and the basic equipment needed to complete a variety of tasks throughout the City. Tasks can include anything from clearing and removing brush and debris to landscaping to cleaning facilities. Any specialized equipment is provided by the City. The ICWC is available for specific City assigned tasks on an as requested basis. Primary use would be from Friday through Sunday at a rate of $75.00 per hour for a 10-hour work shift. Rates provide for a crew leader and placing a work crew into service during the term of this agreement. If the City does not request an ICWC during the term of the contract, there is no cost to the City. The ICWC program provides work crews to a variety of cities in the metro area. The City used the ICWC twice in 2018 for landscaping projects at the Police Department and at Walgreens at 160th Street and Cedar Avenue. Staff recommends approval of a contract. Primary Issues to Consider • What are the benefits of this program? The ICWC program provides work crews that can supplement City crews in large tasks, such as emergency response, or operate independently allowing City crews to move on to other projects. Use of the ICWC program is cost effective and multiplies the efforts of City staff in completing projects. Supporting Information • A copy of the contract is attached.
