BOARD OF DIRECTORS
_______________________
RESOLUTION 2014-__
Adopt Scope of Services for Clean Downtown Project
The board of directors of the Downtown Detroit Business Improvement Zone resolves that the
following scope of services for the Clean Downtown Project is adopted:
CLEAN SERVICES PROJECT
SCOPE OF SERVICES
(as of October 16, 2014)
This scope of services details the tasks anticipated in the clean services project description in the
Downtown Detroit Business Improvement Zone Plan approved by Downtown Detroit property owners
on April 15, 2014 (collectively the “Tasks”).
Under the Michigan law providing for the formation of business improvement zones (Chapter 2 of 1961
PA 120, as amended, the “BIZ Act”), the Downtown Detroit Business Improvement Zone (the “Zone”) is
authorized to engage in activities for the benefit of owners of assessable property to enhance the
business environment within the Zone’s area. Each of these activities under the law is a “Project.”
Projects of the Zone supplement projects of and services provided by the city of Detroit.
The plan approved for the Zone (the “Zone Plan”) includes a description of Projects planned during the
Zone’s initial 10-year period, including the scope, nature, and duration of the Projects and the sources of
financing for the Projects. Under the BIZ Act, the Zone’s board of directors is responsible for establishing
administrative procedures relating to the implementation of the Zone Plan and management of the
Zone and the Zone Plan.
Among the Projects authorized by the Zone Plan is the provision of “Clean Services” within public rights-of-
way, parks and public spaces, excluding alley ways and vehicular traffic lanes on streets. “Clean
Services” include, but are not limited to, litter collection, graffiti removal, pressure washing, snow
removal, and garbage and debris removal. Consistent with these responsibilities, this document
describes the day-to-day Clean Services Project. In addition to the Clean Services Tasks listed below, the
Project will entail related expenses, such as equipment purchases or rent payments for storage and
parking facilities.
Deployment criteria
Service schedules and frequencies may fluctuate daily, weekly, seasonally and as needed to
accommodate special or unforeseen conditions. Under normal conditions, Clean Services will be
deployed to all areas in the Zone with priority given to the most need and impact according to the
following prioritized criteria:
a. Areas with high pedestrian traffic
b. Streets with multiple restaurants, stores and entertainment uses with main entrances off the
sidewalk
c. Parks
d. Vehicular gateways

15. 2
Tasks
1. Litter patrols
Litter patrols with manual pan and broom sweeping will occur from early mornings to late nights
with daily coverage throughout the year. Crews will keep public sidewalks free of litter from
building line to curb, including around curbs, fences, tree pits, parking lots and private lawns
within two feet of adjacent sidewalks.
2. Trash receptacle tending
Trash receptacles owned by the BIZ, the Downtown Detroit Partnership (“DDP”), and the City of
Detroit will be monitored and emptied when full. Trash receptacles in the public realm
belonging to private property owners/managers will be monitored per written agreement for
service frequency and compensation with DDP. Agreements for private trash receptacle services
are subject to City of Detroit permitting requirements.
3. Pressure washing
Sidewalks and alley entryways in high pedestrian traffic areas will be pressure washed at least
four times per year, with extra emphasis to remove chewing gum remnants. The balance of the
Zone will be pressure washed at least twice per summer season, June to September.
4. Graffiti and sticker removal
Graffiti and stickers on utility boxes, light poles and signs within the public realm will be
removed approximately 24 hours after being observed or reported. Crews will either remove or
paint over the graffiti or stickers. Graffiti and stickers on U.S. Postal Service mailboxes will not be
removed pursuant to Federal law. Per City of Detroit Code of Ordinances (§ 9-1-111), property
owners are responsible for removing any carving, graffiti, marking, or painting and restoring any
exterior surface on a private building, premises, or structure to an approved state of repair.
5. Snow removal
On occasion, Clean Services crews may provide limited snow removal services on public rights of
way frequented by pedestrians. Per City of Detroit Code of Ordinances (§ 9-1-103), private
property owners are responsible for removing snow on public sidewalks, driveways and
entrances adjacent to their properties.
6. On-call services
A crew will be assigned for on-call deployment to special requests from property
owners/managers for emergency spills or other mishaps that may happen during the day.
Depending on the labor and materials involved, compensation may be required for on-call
services. In this case, a cost estimate will be provided to the property owner/manager before
on-call services are performed. When not on on-call assignment, crews will be assigned to
regular cleaning activities.
Budget
The initial budget allocation for the Clean Services Project is $1,400,000 for the Zone’s fiscal year ending
on June 30, 2015.
Contract services
This scope of services applies exclusively within the Zone. It does not include Clean Services for any
special event, either permitted or unpermitted, by the City of Detroit. Clean services for any special
event or outside the Zone are subject to a separate contract, including written agreement and payment
terms, with DDP.

16. Secretary’s Certification:
I certify that this resolution was duly adopted by the board of directors of the Downtown Detroit Business
Improvement Zone at a properly-noticed open meeting held with a quorum present on October 16, 2014.
