BACKGROUND INFORMATION: City Council originally approved the specifications for landscape maintenance on May 20, 1998. Section 1.5, General Stipulations, of the approved specifications allows for option to renew by mutual agreement between City and Contractor. Council first awarded the contract to Odyssey Landscape Company, Inc., on July 1, 1998. During the 1999/2000 fiscal year, Council approved a one-year renewal with an increase of 1%2%. Odyssey Landscape Company, Inc. has maintained fifty-six landscaped areas for the City, providing significantly improved service over the previous contractor. In the attached letter, Odyssey Landscape Company, Inc. requests to renew the contract for the 2000/2001 fiscal year, July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. Service was increased with the addition of three sites—Lodi Station, the Mills Avenue bridge, and the Turner Road parkway west of Evergreen Drive. Additional sites will be added as needed during the course of the contract. There is no increase in the prices for the individual sites except on Cherokee Lane ($6,120). The level of service for Cherokee Lane will increase due to the maturing plants and increased debris patrol. Various departments include funds in their operating budgets for this work.

Please accept this letter as intent to proceed with the same monthly prices for each separate area; I.e., medians, walkways and other facilities as outlined in the recent billing schedule dated January 31, 2000 with the exception of Cherokee Lane. I propose to increase the level of service due to maturing plants and ongoing debris patrol. We would increase the frequency of service and traffic control as outlined below. 1. Weekly weed and garbage patrol. 2. Monthly fruit patrol on the pomegranates. 3. Placement of "Men Working" signs on islands in progress of the above tasks. 4. Proper "Cal Trans" lane closure where multitasks or large trimming takes place. 5. Irrigation inspection on a weekly basis to improve future growth. 800 W.
