Action on Proposed Agreement with ABM Industry Groups, LLC for Janitorial Services at Levi’s Stadium for a Three-Year Period with the Option to Extend Two Additional One-Year Periods

 

Report

BOARD PILLAR

Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium

 

BACKGROUND

As the Stadium Manager of Levi’s Stadium, the Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC (Stadium Manager) is responsible for maintaining the Stadium in the required condition and operating it as a quality NFL and multi-purpose public sports, public assembly, exhibit, and entertainment facility as required by the Stadium Management Agreement between the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo), and the Stadium Manager.

 

Janitorial services are critical to the ongoing operation of Levi’s Stadium and are contracted for daily cleaning and for both ticketed and non-ticketed events. They include the following services:

 

                     Year-Round Maintenance: Ongoing janitorial services throughout the stadium.

                     Event Cleaning: Comprehensive cleaning services before, during, and after NFL and Non-NFL Events, including football games, soccer matches, concerts, and special events, ensuring the stadium is meticulously maintained.

                     Special Event Support: Cleaning services for special (catered) events organized by the Stadium Manager’s Special Events team, such as proms, parties, and receptions. This includes pre-event, event, and post-event cleaning services.

                     Ancillary Services: Additional cleaning tasks as required, such as window washing, parking lot cleaning, concert floor setup and strike, cleaning and washing public safety vehicles, and confetti clean up.

                     Deep Cleaning Services: Quarterly, biannual, and annual deep cleaning services.

 

The Stadium Manager has an existing agreement with ABM Industry Groups, LLC (ABM) for janitorial services at Levi’s Stadium. This agreement was originally approved by the Stadium Authority Board on April 4, 2017, with an initial five-year term ending March 31, 2022, plus an option to extend for an additional two years. A First Amendment to the agreement was noted and filed on the original date of Stadium Authority approval to include the Stadium Authority in the Agreement’s Exhibit C - Insurance Requirements.

 

On December 10, 2021, the Stadium Manager exercised the option to extend the agreement through March 31, 2024. On March 19, 2024, the Stadium Authority Board approved a Second Amendment to the agreement to increase compensation rates and extend the term on a month-to-month basis for up to six months through September 30, 2024, or until the Stadium Manager entered into a new agreement for janitorial services.

 

On September 24, 2024, the Stadium Authority Board approved a Third Amendment to extend the term of the agreement on a month-to-month basis for up to six months through March 31, 2025, or until the Stadium Manager enters into a new agreement and completes the transition of services.

 

In mid-February 2025, the Stadium Manager submitted a request for a new contract for janitorial services after completing a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Staff intended to present the request for Stadium Authority Board approval as part of the March 11, 2025 agenda. However, additional time was required to complete the review and address a protest to the bid process received on March 3, 2025 that was received after the Stadium Manager’s submission. The protest, which is discussed in further detail below, has since been resolved, and the protest period closed on March 18, 2025.

 

Through this agenda item, the Stadium Manager is requesting approval of a new agreement with ABM to provide janitorial services for Levi’s Stadium for a three-year term, commencing April 1, 2025 and ending March 31, 2028, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods through March 31, 2030 (Attachment 1).

 

A Recommendation for Award Memo describing the RFP process and the request for award of contract was submitted by the Stadium Manager (Attachment 2).

 

DISCUSSION

Stadium Authority staff reviewed the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo and supporting RFP documents for consistency with the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy Chapter 17.30 and Santa Clara City Code Chapter 2.105.140(c) for purchases with an amount greater than $250,000. The Stadium Manager received a total of four proposals from the following firms:

 

                     ABM Industry Groups, LLC (ABM)

                     Aramark Services, Inc. (Aramark)

                     C&W Services - A subsidiary of Cushman & Wakefield (C&W)

                     Pritchard Sports & Entertainment Group (Pritchard)

 

Through the RFP process described in the Stadium Manager’s Recommendation for Award memo and in the section below, the Stadium Manager recommends awarding the agreement to ABM for janitorial services at Levi’s Stadium for a three-year term, commencing April 1, 2025 and ending March 31, 2028, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods through March 31, 2030.

 

Request for Proposals Process

The Stadium Manager began working on the RFP in August 2023 by developing a list of prescriptive cleaning services required for the stadium. Representatives from the Stadium Manager’s team conducted extensive outreach and benchmarked with other sports facilities around the United States including reviewing the janitorial services RFP issued by the City of Santa Clara. All of these benchmarks were facilitated independently by the Stadium Manager’s Procurement Department.

 

To ensure a thorough understanding of vendor capabilities and evaluate current stadium needs, the Stadium Manager outreached directly to various suppliers to understand their service offerings. On October 6, 2023, the Procurement Department conducted a three-hour, on-site, non-binding, and non-committal open house. Janitorial service providers were invited to participate in an open dialogue with the Stadium Manager, tour the facility, and learn about the marketplace to aid in the development of the RFP documents. These discussions spanned over a period of two months through December 2023.

 

Additionally, the Stadum Manager conducted benchmarking with the Warriors at the Chase Center, San Francisco Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Maryland Stadium Authority (which manages both NFL and MLB venues), SoFi Stadium procurement team, Miami Marlins, and City of Santa Clara. This benchmarking showed that most venues use a combination of internal custodial services and outsourced third-party firms for janitorial services. The Procurement Department spent significant time understanding Levi’s Stadium’s specific needs, comparing them to other stadiums and ballparks, and conducting independent outreach to janitorial services providers to ensure the RFP structure encouraged competition and yielded the best value to the stadium. Key factors in the RFP development included venue size, event schedule, and types of events hosted at the stadium.   

 

On May 6, 2024, the Stadium Manager issued the RFP and provided a copy to the Stadium Authority. The key events in the RFP process were as follows:

 

                     On May 16, 2024, a mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit were held at the Stadium. The Stadium Manager provided an overview of the janitorial service requirements and housekeeping guidelines, conducted a comprehensive site visit, and provided clarifications to questions from proposers.

                     On May 24, 2024, Addendum #1 was issued, providing responses to proposer questions, additional stadium details, such as square footage, parking lot maps, digital floor maps, and a copy of the sign-in sheet from the mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit.

                     On June 3, 2024, Addendum #2 was issued, incorporating additional cleaning service details and cost proposal information.

                     On June 6, 2024, Addendum #3 was issued, providing a revised cost proposal spreadsheet.

                     On June 12, 2024, the RFP closed, and the Stadium Manager received four proposals.

 

Following the RFP closing, the Stadium Manager conducted a two-step evaluation process:

 

                     Phase One: The written proposals were evaluated by a committee against the criteria outlined in the RFP. The evaluation committee determined all four firms to be within the competitive range to proceed with phase two.

 

                     Phase Two: All four proposers advanced to Phase Two, which involved interviews, presentations, and cost evaluations. The interviews and presentations were held at the Stadium in July and August 2024. As part of the Phase Two scoring, Aramark, C&W Services, and Pritchard were invited onsite for another walkthrough of Levi’s Stadium. Since ABM, the incumbent service provider, possessed sufficient knowledge of Levi’s Stadium operations, they were not required to participate in this step. During this walkthrough, the Stadium Manager facilitated discussion to validate the proposers’ understanding of the various services levels including required daily and event services. The three firms were asked to review their cost proposals and make necessary adjustments based on their deeper understanding of the Stadium Manager’s expectations.

 

The evaluation committee ultimately selected ABM as the finalist and directed the Stadium Manager’s Procurement Lead to conduct the final negotiations with ABM. The final negotiations addressed several key areas, including cost, account management, workforce technologies, labor cost reduction and efficiency, detailed cost breakdown of “other costs”, equipment costs and amortization schedules, resource allocation for parking lot cleaning services, and performance metrics and accountability measures. As a result of addressing these areas, the Stadium Manager successfully reduced ABM’s cost by approximately 20% from the initial RFP cost proposal. The Stadium Manager completed the business, legal, and cost negotiations with ABM in February 2025.

 

Notice of Intended Award and Protest

On February 24, 2025, the Stadium Manager issued a Notice of Intended Award (NOIA), announcing ABM as the recommended contractor. On March 3, 2025, the Stadium Manager and Stadium Authority received a protest letter from C&W (Attachment 3). In the letter, C&W expressed concerns regarding the exclusion of the Cost criterion in the NOIA and delays and communication issues experienced during the RFP process.

 

On March 7, 2025, the Stadium Manager issued a revised NOIA addressing the clerical error identified by C&W in their protest letter, regarding the description of the Cost criterion, and clarified the allocated maximum points for the Cost criterion.

 

The protest was reviewed by City/Stadium Authority staff from the City’s Purchasing Division, City Attorney/Stadium Counsel’s Office, and the City Manager/Executive Director’s Office. On March 11, 2025, the Stadium Authority’s Executive Director issued a written determination, which included that 1) the original NOIA contained a clerical error in the description of the cost evaluation criteria, but this error did not impact the actual scoring, evaluation, or award determination, and 2) the Stadium Manager remained engaged throughout the RFP process and provided responses whenever feasible, ensuring that proposers received key information as the evaluation progressed (Attachment 4). On these bases, together with the issuance of the revised NOIA by Stadium Manager, the Executive Director concluded that all parties acted in good faith, that denial of the protest (and upholding the NOIA) would not undermine the intent and purpose of the Stadium Authority's procurement policies, and that the clerical error that forms the basis for the protest did not prevent substantial compliance with the Stadium Authority's procurement policies. The Stadium Authority’s review and response were completed in accordance with the Stadium Authority Procurement Policy Chapter 17.30.140, which sets forth the Stadium Authority’s bid contest procedures. Under Section 17.30.140(d), the protestor may appeal the determination to the Stadium Authority Board within seven days of receiving the written determination and finding from the Executive Director. The seven-day period for an appeal ended on March 18, 2025. No appeal was received.

 

Scope of Services

Under the proposed agreement, ABM will provide the following services at Levi’s Stadium:

 

                     Year-Round Maintenance: Ongoing janitorial services throughout the stadium.

                     Event Cleaning: Comprehensive cleaning services before, during, and after NFL and Non-NFL Events, including football games, soccer matches, concerts, and special events, ensuring the stadium is meticulously maintained.

                     Special Event Support: Cleaning services for special (catered) events organized by the Special Events team, such as proms, parties, and receptions. This includes pre-events, events, and post-event cleaning services.

                     Ancillary Services: Additional cleaning tasks as required, such as parking lot cleaning, window washing, concert flooring setup, etc.

                     Deep Cleaning Services: Quarterly, biannual and annual deep cleaning services.

 

The proposed agreement includes the following:

 

                     A detailed scope of services that includes requirements for licenses and permits, safety and training, account management and invoicing (including tracking time for each event and each location), a management plan, an operation plan, equipment, uniforms, a quality control plan, training, and smart technology (as detailed under Exhibit A)

                     Detailed cleaning duties outlined by specific areas, including Shared Stadium Areas such as concourses, lobbies, entryways, elevators, escalators, restrooms, loading dock, and utility rooms, as well as Tenant Exclusive Areas such as Museum Hall of Fame, football locker rooms, coaches’ locker rooms, and suites (as detailed under Exhibit A-1)

                     Annual, biannual, and quarterly cleaning duties (as detailed under Exhibit A-1)

                     Levi’s Stadium space square footage details (as detailed under Exhibit A-2)

                     Description of cleaning services and expectations (as detailed under Exhibit A-3)

                     Performance metrics for work order resolution times, quality and performance audits, event-tiered staffing levels, seating bowl audits, onsite project management, and performance credits if service levels are not met (as detailed under Exhibit A-5)

                     Transparent compensation and fees (as detailed under Exhibit B-1 and discussed under the next section)

 

Compensation and Fees

Daily Services, Major Events, and Parking Lots: Service costs for the first year of the agreement term are outlined under Exhibit B-1. Fixed hourly rates are established for each labor category, along with the anticipated number of staff and expected number of staff hours for daily cleaning services, major events, and parking lot cleaning. These costs are as follows:

 

                     Monthly Fee for Daily Services: Approximately $58,836 (Monthly services will fluctuate based on the number of days in the month. Cleaning services will be tracked for Shared Stadium Areas and Tenant Exclusive Areas and the Stadium Authority and StadCo will split costs 50/50 for the services performed only in Shared Stadium Areas. StadCo is responsible for costs related to Tenant Exclusive Areas)

                     Full Bowl Event: $114,995

                     Partial/Lower Bowl Event: $85,117

                     Parking Lot for Full Bowl Event: $20,653

                     Parking Lot for Lower Bowl Event: $16,792

 

For reference, under the existing agreement, the monthly expense for routine janitorial services ranges between $110,000 and $120,000 per month, split equally between the Stadium Authority and StadCo. In FY 2024/25, janitorial services for ticketed major Non-NFL Events ranged between $125,000 and $175,000 and averaged $142,000 per event. The Stadium Authority paid a total of $1,138,892 in FY 2024/25 for janitorial services for 8 ticketed major Non-NFL Events (comprised of 2 partial/lower bowl events and 6 full bowl events based on estimated number of tickets sold for the events). 

 

Based on the pricing in the proposed agreement, costs for janitorial services (inclusive of parking lot cleaning) for ticketed major Non-NFL Events should range between $101,909 (partial/lower bowl event - 35,000 guests or less) and $135,648 (full bowl event - 68,500 guests). Applying the cost model in this new agreement, the total for janitorial costs for 6 full bowl events and 2 partial/lower bowl events, inclusive of parking lot cleanings, would total $1,017,706, providing cost savings of $121,186.

 

The proposed agreement recognizes that not all major events are the same, thus requiring ABM to provide a proposal to the Stadium Manager prior to each event,  detailing staffing levels and associated costs, consistent with pricing in Exhibit B-1. The Stadium Manager may request adjustments to services as necessary based on event and facility needs. Parking lot cleaning services may also be requested as part of event services or on an ad hoc basis, also consistent with pricing in Exhibit B-1.

 

Shared Stadium Expenses, such as daily cleaning services for Shared Stadium Operations Areas, are split 50/50 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo per the Stadium Lease. Janitorial services performed for Non-NFL Events are charged directly to the events. StadCo is responsible for all costs related to services performed for Tenant’s Exclusive Areas and NFL events.

 

Equipment Costs: ABM is responsible for supplying, maintaining, and replacing all equipment necessary for janitorial services, as well as providing any additional equipment needed to fulfill contract requirements. Exhibit B-1 details the equipment furnished by ABM under the agreement (e.g., vacuums, extractor, dust control banisher, etc.). All equipment listed in Exhibit B-1 must be new at the outset prior to its initial use. The Stadium Manager retains the approval authority over all equipment. ABM must itemize each piece of equipment, specify quantities, and include the purchase price per item. Equipment cost is amortized over 36 months and Exhibit B-1 outlines the specific cost for each item per year for the initial term of the agreement, along with its respective annual and monthly cost (Year 1 Annual Total: $23,436; Year 2 Annual Total: $29,978; and Year 3 Annual Total: $35,056). Equipment costs are treated as a Shared Stadium Expense, split 50/50 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo.

 

Ancillary Services: The Stadium Manager may request ancillary services, such as parking lot cleaning, window washing, and concert flooring setup, on an ad hoc basis. Prior to providing such services, ABM must submit a proposal to Stadium Manager detailing the staffing and associated cost before performing the ancillary services. The Stadium Manager will review the proposal and may request changes as may be necessary to fulfill Stadium Manager’s needs. Upon Stadium Manager’s approval of the proposal, ABM may proceed with providing the ancillary services. Ancillary services will be billed according to the labor rates set forth in Exhibit B-1. 

 

Tenant Exclusive Areas: ABM has been provided a color-coded map depicting the unique spaces at Levi’s Stadium categorized as Shared Stadium Areas and Tenant Exclusive Areas. ABM is required to track staff time spent in Tenant Exclusive Areas when performing services. ABM must separately invoice services performed in Tenant Exclusive Areas, and each invoice must include a summary report of the performance period, staff time spent, services rendered, and specific areas serviced. StadCo is responsible for costs related to services performed in Tenant Exclusive Areas and will be separately billed for such services.

 

Overtime, Double-time, and Holiday Pay: Terms for overtime, double-time, and holiday pay are outlined in Exhibit B. In general, the vendor may not charge for overtime or double-time unless it is due to extenuating circumstances outside of Contractor’s reasonable control ,such as multiple major events within the same calendar week, back-to-back events, and force majeure events. In all such cases, overtime or double-time pay will only be the responsibility of the Stadium Manager if approved by the Stadium Manager in advance following receipt of notice from ABM.

 

Fee Increases: Exhibit B outlines the following fee increases for any subsequent years following the first year of the agreement term:

 

                     Daily Services: Any annual fee increase for exempt staff employed in the performance of Daily Services is capped at a maximum of 3% per year. Any annual fee increase for non-exempt staff employed in Daily Services will be limited to the corresponding increase in ABM’s applicable collective bargaining agreement.

 

                     Event and Parking: Any annual fee increase for staff in Event and Parking Services will be tied to the applicable minimum wage rate increase in the City of Santa Clara.

 

                     Equipment: No fee increases are authorized for the equipment specified in Exhibit B-1. Any additional equipment that is not listed in Exhibit B-1, which is necessary for ABM’s performance of services, must be approved through a written amendment to the agreement. ABM may not charge for equipment not specifically listed in Exhibit B-1.

 

In order to enact a fee increase, ABM must submit prior written notice to the Stadium Manager at least 90 calendar days in advance of the agreement’s anniversary date. The notice must include: (1) the proposed fee increases organized by services type and staff position and (2) an updated billing summary incorporating the proposed fee increases in substantially the same format as set forth in Exhibit B-1. The proposed agreement requires that all fee increases be memorialized in a written amendment to the agreement, and such written amendment will not have retroactive effect.

 

As noted above, the rates in the proposed agreement are approximately 20% lower than ABM’s initial cost proposal, and are significantly lower than the costs under the existing agreement. The agreement does not include a not-to-exceed amount due to the variable number of Non-NFL Events per contract year. All services, including those for NFL and Non-NFL Events, are subject to the rates in Exhibit B-1.

 

SEIU Collective Bargaining Agreement

ABM is one of the largest employers of SEIU union employees in the country and has operated Levi’s Stadium under the structure of the SEIU United Service Workers West Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for several years. As such, ABM has relationships with more than 200 different local unions across the country. The CBA applies only to full-time non-exempt employees performing Daily Services. Supervisors,  management, and part-time event staff are excluded from the CBA . The framework of the agreement has been in place for several years and ABM plans to continue the existing collective bargaining framework. Under the proposed agreement, any wage increases for employees covered by CBA will be determined in accordance with the collective bargaining negotiations.  

 

ABM has proposed a starting wage of $20.00/hr for event and parking cleaning staff based on local market comparisons to attract and retain quality employees for Levi's Stadium. The City of Santa Clara’s minimum wage for 2025 is $18.20/hr. One of the important market comparisons ABM considered was the need to remain competitive with State of California’s fast food minimum wage of $20.00/hr in 2024.

 

As outlined in the Fee Increases section above, wage increases will be tied to changes in the City’s minimum wage for part-time event and parking cleaning staff , while maintaining the $1.80/hr differential above the City’s minimum wage. The City’s calculation for setting the annual minimum wage is governed by SCCC Chapter 3.20.040 - Minimum Wage. Additionally, the Stadium Manager has confirmed that there are no significant changes expected in the provider staffing, other than through the normal course of business, thus complying with SCCC Chapter 9.60 Food and Building Service Worker Retention.

 

Staff Recommendation

Based on the documentation and information provided, staff recommends approval of the Stadium Manager’s request to execute an agreement with ABM for janitorial services at Levi’s Stadium for a three-year period through March 31, 2028. As the proposed agreement requires that all fee increases be memorialized in a written amendment, the recommendation is to authorize the Stadium Manager to amend the agreement, as needed, to memorialize all fee increases and/or to include any additional equipment that is necessary for ABM’s services that is listed in Exhibit B-1 following the terms and conditions for Annual Fee Increases set forth under Exhibit B, subject to budget appropriations, and after approval by the Executive Director. Staff also recommends authorizing the Stadium Manager to exercise two additional one-year option to extend the agreement through March 31, 2030, under the same basic terms and conditions, including those for Annual Fee Increases under Exhibit B, provided that the associated costs have been approved by the Board in the Stadium Authority Operating Budget for the respective fiscal year and after approval by the Stadium Manager.

 

The Stadium Authority Counsel’s Office has reviewed the proposed agreement with ABM for comparison to the Stadium Authority’s customary language. Nothing in the proposed agreement changes the Stadium Authority’s rights under the Management Agreement and specifically with respect to any dispute that may arise from the Stadium Manager’s obligations under the Management Agreement.

 

The Stadium Authority reserves all rights to confirm and dispute charges by and payments to the Stadium Manager during a fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, including but not limited to changes based on improper allocation, calculation, lack of support, or failure to comply with the Parties’ contracts or California law. The Stadium Authority may raise related questions before the fiscal year-end reconciliation/true-up, which the Stadium Manager agrees to assess and respond to in good faith.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

The Stadium Authority Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Budget contains Shared Stadium Expenses such as Security, Stadium Operations, Engineering, Guest Services, and Groundskeeping. Shared Stadium Expenses are split 50/50 between the Stadium Authority and StadCo per the Stadium Lease for daily cleaning services of Shared Stadium Areas. Based on the compensation schedule for the first year under the proposed Agreement’s Exhibit B-1, the monthly expense for daily cleaning services is approximately $58,836. The Stadium Authority’s portion for the initial year of the agreement term will be less than half of that amount per month, as it includes cleaning for Shared Stadium Areas and Tenant Exclusive Areas in the Stadium. The Agreement requires ABM to track the spaces they clean (Shared Stadium Areas vs. Tenant Exclusive Areas) and invoice StadCo separately for time spent cleaning in Tenant Exclusive Areas. The monthly fee will fluctuate based on the number of days in the month.

 

There are sufficient funds budgeted under the FY 2025/26 Shared Stadium Expenses, Engineering line item to cover the Stadium Authority’s portion of daily cleaning (less than $29,418 per month). Select ancillary services (as needed), deep cleaning services (as needed), and equipment costs ($23,436 total annually for the first year and split 50/50 between Stadium Authority and StadCo) are also covered under the FY 2025/26 Shared Stadium Expenses, Engineering line item.

 

In addition to the Shared Stadium Expense cost described above, janitorial services performed for Non-NFL Events are charged directly to the events. The following pricing for major event services may adjust based on event needs but are approximately:

 

                     Full Bowl Event: $114,995

                     Partial/Lower Bowl Event: $85,117

                     Parking Lot for Full Bowl Event: $20,653

                     Parking Lot for Lower Bowl Event: $16,792

 

There are sufficient funds in the Stadium Authority FY 2025/26 Operating Budget, allocated as part of the Net Revenues from Non-NFL Events line item to cover the initial year’s costs. Funding for future years will be included in future proposed budgets through the budget process.

 

StadCo is responsible for all costs related to services performed for Tenant’s Exclusive Facilities and NFL events. As the service agreement will also be used for NFL Events, they will be subject to the same pricing model.
