AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Continued
Maintenance of Landscape Areas for 2010 Calendar Year
MEETING DATE: October 7, 2009
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
continued maintenance of landscape areas for the 2010 calendar year.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project provides for the continued maintenance of landscaped
areas in the public right-of-way, public buildings, parking lots, the
Multimodal Station, and the White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility. Four reverse -frontage sites are being added, bringing the
total number of sites to 200 and increasing the total acreage of this contract from 45 acres during the
2009 contract to just over 50 acres. Note that this work is separate from the landscape maintenance
areas included in the various Landscape Maintenance Assessment District Zones that are established in
newer developments.
This bid consists of three separate groups: Group — Maintenance of Turf and Miscellaneous Landscape
Areas, Group B — Maintenance of Lower Sacramento Road and Adjacent Landscape Areas, and
Group C — Maintenance of Cherokee Lane and Adjacent Landscape Areas. The groups may be awarded
separately to multiple contractors or together as one contract.
The level of maintenance will continue at the current frequency of once a month for the non -turf areas. The
turf areas will continue to be weekly service or as dictated by the specifications. This reduction of frequency
has minimal impact on the overall appearance of the sites and has not significantly increased the number of
complaints about maintenance. The sites are at an overall acceptable level of appearance.
The specifications are on file in the PublicWorks Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: This current annual contract is $209,844 which maintains the existing
landscape sites at a frequency level of once a month.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The moneyfor this project is appropriated in the 2009/10 Operating Budget
and will be appropriated in the 2010/11 Operating Budget (General Fund,
Utility and Transit accounts): 102011, 103511, 170403, 170404, 3215036,
3215042,210801, 125052, 180453,160652.
