AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Maintenance of Landscape Areas for
Fiscal Year 1997198
MEETING DATE: May 21, 1997

RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications for the above project and
authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project provides for the contract maintenance of 49 landscaped
areas within the City and the White Slough Water Pollution Control

and added at an appropriate future date.
Contracting landscape maintenance has been done by Public Works since 1979. The existing contract is
for one year with an option to be extended annually. The current contract has been renewed twice .
Even though there has been no increase in cost since 1994, except for new areas being added, it is felt
that we should re -advertise at this time.
