BACKGROUND: Abandoned shopping carts constitute a nuisance, create safety hazards, cause blight, and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the City of Riverside. In order to reduce these hazards, the City has contracted for the removal of abandoned shopping carts within the public right-of-way with CarTrac since 2006. On March 15, 2019, the City issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 1905 to solicit proposals from qualified companies to provide shopping cart retrieval services within public right-of-way throughout the City. On April 4, 2019, the City received one proposal in response to RFP 1905 from CarTrac, the City's current service provider. The proposal was complete and responsive.
