PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
2015-2016 Landscape Maintenance of Miscellaneous Areas and Lodi
Consolidated Landscape Assessment District No. 2003-1.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project provides for the continued maintenance of landscaped
areas in the public right-of-way, public buildings, parking lots, White
Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, and various assessment
zones. There are approximately 255 sites totaling approximately 50 acres in area.
The contract consists of five separate groups: Group A — Maintenance of Turf and Miscellaneous Landscape
Areas; Group B — Maintenance of Miscellaneous (non -turf) Landscape Areas; Group C — Maintenance of
Areas Limited to Sidewalk and Tree Wells; Group D — Maintenance of Areas Limited to Sidewalk (weed
control and debris cleanup); and Group E — Maintenance of Assessment District Areas. Group E is further
separated into Assessment District zones 1 through 16, as applicable. The groups will be awarded together
as one contract.
The level of maintenance will continue at the current frequency of once a month for Groups B through D.
Group A will continue to be at least biweekly (weekly, April through September). The frequency of Group E
will be weekly, which is consistent with the current Assessment District contract.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
April 29, 2015. The contract estimate is $197,000. The 2014-2015 contract is for approximately $194,000
annually. The increase in the contract estimate is associated with projected minimum wage increases.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates an increase in bid prices associated with State mandated
minimum wage increases.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding is separated into multiple sources (by area) that will be identified at
project award.
