IssueDetail
Issue Detail: To continue the Department of Community Response’s (“DCR”) efforts to mitigate the impacts of homeless encampments in the City, DCR recommends that City Council approve a supplemental agreement with Foege Schumann Global Disaster Solutions LLC (“FS Global”) in the amount of $6,813,866 to provide a one year extension of citywide cleanup services through June 30, 2027, with an expanded scope of enhanced cleanup services in the Central City, and the addition of storage services.
In January 2025, DCR issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #P25231021006 for citywide cleanup and disposal services, with a deadline of March 14, 2025. DCR received fourteen (14) proposals in response to the RFP, and after a thorough review, reference checks, and interviews, the panel selected FS Global to provide citywide cleanup and disposal services. On June 24, 2025, City Council passed Resolution No. 2025-0189, authorizing agreement 2025-0660 for citywide cleanup services.
Currently, FS Global responds to 311 calls for homelessness encampment-related trash throughout the City, Monday through Friday with five cleanup crews assigned to specific planning zones. 311 calls are organized by district, and cleanup crews coordinate with dispatch and DCR to ensure efficient routes and effective cleanup services within the assigned area. All incoming 311 homelessness encampment-related trash calls are responded to by FS Global within 72 hours, unless special follow-up is required. Additional crews respond to designated areas of need and assist the Incident Management Team in responding to coordinated, multi-departmental cleanups.
Expanded Central City and Storage Services
As part of this funding for citywide cleanup services, $240,000 will be transferred from Public Works’ Recycling and Solid Waste Division to support enhanced cleanup services in the Central City. This funding expands FS Global’s capacity to provide more targeted and proactive cleanup support in high-impact areas, including early morning cleanup services, debris removal along priority business corridors and public spaces, pressure washing or other sanitation-related support where appropriate, and supplemental cleanup coverage for areas of elevated need. The enhanced Central City cleanup model supports a more integrated operational approach by enabling the Incident Management Team (“IMT”) to respond to illegal dumping calls in the Central City and reducing operational silos in a highly visible and high-traffic area. Coordination with the Recycling and Solid Waste Division strengthens the City’s ability to maintain a more consistent, visible, and responsive cleanup presence in the Central City while continuing to support citywide 311 cleanup operations.
In March 2026, DCR issued Request for Proposal #P26231021001 for citywide storage services, with a deadline of April 3, 2026. DCR received four (4) proposals total (one of which was not responsive). Panelists were asked to rank the three responsive proposals based upon the following criteria categories: qualification and experience, project approach, project work plan and schedule, and cost proposal.
The three responsive proposals were scored as follows:
• Foege Schumann Global Disaster Solutions LLC - 99 points
• Lyons Security Service, Inc. - 80 points
• McGhee Corporation - 71 points
The panel selected FS Global to provide citywide storage services. To maximize operational and fiscal efficiencies, DCR recommends adding the storage services scope to the citywide cleanup services agreement with FS Global in lieu of awarding a separate agreement. In doing so, current FS Global teams deployed throughout the City will respond to storage requests as needed, in addition to cleanup requests. Strategic reallocation of these existing resources will enable the City to provide storage services more cost effectively.
Citywide storage services will provide comprehensive, on-demand support for ongoing IMT compliance activities, including personal property collection, storage, inventory management, delivery, and disposal.
Initially, storage services will be provided at the direction of Sacramento Police Department (“SPD”) officers and other authorized City staff. FS Global will coordinate and deploy field staff as needed to collect personal property in the field and ensure it is securely stored at a designated facility. FS Global will also maintain documentation and inventory systems to track all stored property, facilitate the return of personal property, and manage the disposition of unclaimed property consistent with City procedures.
This service is also expected to generate savings for SPD. These tasks are currently managed by the Evidence and Property team, and a recent audit presented to Council on May 19, 2026, concluded that the City is spending approximately $590,000 annually on this activity. By comparison, the selected proposal includes a budget of approximately $349,000, representing an estimated savings of about 41 percent.
In addition to these direct cost savings, the contract will reduce the time IMPACT officers spend booking and transporting property, allowing officers to spend more time in the field responding to calls for service.
FS Global remains an important partner to DCR and the City’s IMT. Their extensive encampment cleanup experience, service provision experience with the unhoused community, as well as knowledge and practice in prevailing wage compliance and requirements pursuant to state law have been instrumental in the City’s response to homelessness. In 2024, DCR opened over 18,400 trash-related 311 cases and closed over 18,700 cases resulting in the collection and disposal of approximately 9.1 million pounds of trash. In 2025, DCR opened over 19,500 trash-related 311 cases and closed over 20,100 cases resulting in the collection and disposal of approximately 6 million pounds of trash.
To mitigate the increased costs of prevailing wage requirements, DCR will continue to work with FS Global on optimizing efficiencies in the scope of work while reducing costs when possible. Cost containment strategies include:
• Optimized Incident Management Team (IMT) Coordination - Strengthening integration with IMT planning will ensure cleanup resources are deployed efficiently, aligning efforts with priority areas and urgent response needs. This enhanced coordination will enable the following strategies to be implemented:
o Predictive Analytics for Resource Deployment - Utilizing data-driven models to forecast high-need areas based on historical trends and real-time reports will optimize crew deployment, ensuring resources are used efficiently.
o Flexible Scheduling for Crews - Adjusting work assignments based on peak demand times or high-volume cleanup areas to reduce labor inefficiencies and ensure more timely service responses.
• Automated Call Categorization Improvements - Enhancing call categorization using automation implemented in collaboration with IT will improve response times and streamline service requests by ensuring accurate classification of cleanup needs.
• Operational Efficiency Strategies for Field Crews - Reducing delays to operations and minimizing downtime in the field by using rotating dumpsters to maximize work time and reduce haul-related delays, ensuring crews remain productive throughout shifts.
• Expanded Transfer Station and Disposal Network - Increasing access to a broader network of transfer stations and disposal sites will provide more flexibility in waste management, cutting transport time and lowering overall disposal costs.
• Public Works Collaboration for Enforcement Alignment - Enhancing coordination with Public Works to synchronize illegal dumping enforcement efforts with homeless camp cleanup operations will create a more unified approach to environmental hazard mitigation, reducing duplicate efforts and improving citywide cleanliness.
• Automated Route Planning and Mapping for Cleanup Routes - Utilizing mapping technology to pre-plan optimized disposal routes can cut fuel and operational expenses.
City staff recommends entering into a supplemental agreement with FS Global for the continued operations of cleanup and added service of storage from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
