AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for Continued
Maintenance of Landscape Areas for 2011
MEETING DATE: October 20,2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
continued maintenance of landscape areas for 2011.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project provides for the continued maintenance of landscaped
sites in the public right-of-way, public buildings, parking lots, Lodi
Station, and White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. The total
acreage of this contract is just over 50 acres and includes 200 sites.
This work is separate from the landscape maintenance services included in the various Lodi Consolidated
Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2003-1 zones that have been established in recent new
developments.
This bid consists of three separate groups: Group A — 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.
Turf areas continue to receive weekly service for most of the year. The frequency was reduced several
years ago and has had a minimal impact on the overall appearance of the sites and has not resulted in a
significant increase in the number of complaints about the maintenance. The sites are currently at an
overall acceptable level of appearance.
The details are in the specifications and on file in the Public Works Department.
FISCAL IMPACT: The current annual contract is $174,690 which maintains the existing
landscape sites at a frequency level of once a month.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this project is appropriated in the 2010/11 Operating Budget
(General Fund, Utility and Transit accounts): 102011, 103511, 170403,
170404,3215036,3215042,210801, 125052, 180453, 160652.
