The city attorney alleges that pre-pandemic pricing for a six-stall shower trailer ranged from $8,000 to $9,500 per month, but United's quote was for $19,320 per month, plus a $500 fee for delivery, setup and removal.
The initial prices were for showers provided to bridge shelter residents initially relocated to Golden Hall. The City Attorney's Office said that once the homeless were relocated to the convention center, additional shower trailers were sought, but prices remained"vastly inflated."
And the city accepted the bid? Didn’t the city seek additional bids? Seems like the fault lies with the city.

City attorney: Company overcharged for showers at Convention Center shelter for homeless during pandemic\r\nThe City Attorney's Office is suing United Site Services of California for allegedly charging “hundreds of thousands of dollars” more than usual for shower trailers for the homeless. Of course they did! The city was throwing money everywhere without oversight, just like the state with missing $20 billion in unemployment. The real surprise is the city found out and did something about it. waste corruption incompetence The City is just as guilty for the lack of oversight on this contract as the company is. Lol not many people or companies do impromptu showers for homeless. Give them a break. Did the City attorney get at least 3 quotes to make sure they were not getting ripped off?
