TITLE: Approval of Amendment No. One to Maintenance/Repair Services
Agreement for Weed Abatement Services with Natures Image,
Inc. (Contract No. 8537-1)
/_1 16"t I:7_T91 6
The City of Newport Beach utilizes a contractor, Nature's Image, Inc., to perform weed
abatement and vegetation management services throughout the city. With impending
updates to the State fire regulations and expected expansion of the high fire zone areas,
staff is seeking an amendment to the agreement with Natures Image as the contractor is
familiar with these sites and project specifications from the Public Works and Fire
Departments. The City's current, five-year agreement with Nature's Image will expire on
May 1, 2024. Staff requests an amendment to the agreement (Contract No. 8537-1) to
extend the term three years and add an additional $560,000 to the contract for a total
not -to -exceed contract amount of $2,534,933.24.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve Amendment No. One to the Maintenance/Repair Services Agreement with
Natures Image for weed abatement services with a three-year extension and an
additional not -to -exceed amount of $560,000 for a total not -to -exceed amount of
$2,534,933.24, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment.
DISCUSSION:
Public Works Department staff oversees the Natures Image agreement with assistance
from the Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division. The primary purpose of this
agreement is to keep various sites safe from fire hazards and to meet State of California
standards. Over the past five years, Natures Image has done a superiorjob at maintaining
the City's open space vegetation and keeping it free from weeds and fire hazards. Staff
is pleased with the production and quality of services provided by Natures Image.

Approval of Amendment No. One to Maintenance/Repair Services Agreement for
Weed Abatement Services with Natures Image, Inc. (Contract No. 8537-1)

These contract services are utilized to control, manage and preserve vegetation and
habitat surrounding homes and open areas throughout the city. The services include
vegetation clearance, trimming, erosion protection, slope stabilization, slope restoration,
planting, hazard reduction, weed abatement, and storm drain and v-ditch debris clearing.
It should be noted that this agreement does not include any spraying of insecticides or
herbicides, and is only for manual, hand -tool labor of weeds and other hazards as per the
City's Integrated Pest Management Policy.
Staff anticipates that revised State fire codes and updated high fire zone maps will be
issued in the coming year. Staff highly recommends a contractor with knowledge of the
vast and nuanced areas, an understanding of the specifications for each site, and the
standards required. Moreover, with the unprecedented rainfall this season, an
inexperienced contractor will likely experience delays because of the lack of institutional
knowledge combined with the vigorous vegetation growth expected.
Department staff negotiated with Natures Image on an amendment to the contract. Aside
from the existing contractual Consumer Price Index increase of 2%, Natures Image is not
requesting additional increases to current rates, which were competitively bid in 2019.
The current agreement with Natures Image has a remaining balance of approximately
$430,000 and expires May 1, 2024. With a remaining balance of $430,000 and approval
of an additional $560,000 in contractual authority, staff anticipates the updated balance
of $990,000 will provide sufficient funding for Public Works and Utilities Department usage
of the contract for another three years of service. Staff recommends amending the
contract NTE amount by $560,000 for a total NTE of $2,534,933.24, and extending the
term for an additional three years with a new expiration date of May 1, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT -
The adopted budget includes sufficient general funding for this purchase. It will be
expensed to the Hazard Mitigation account in the Public Works Department, 0108031-
841055 and the Public Landscape Enhancements account 0108031-911008, and other
department's expenditures will be expensed to their accounts as specified.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

RE: Contract C-8537-1, Weed Abatement Services - 2024 CPI Adjustment to Billing Rates
Per section 4.2 of the contract, Exhibit B (Schedule of Billing Rates) shall be adjusted in proportion to the changes
in the Consumer Price Index, subject to a maximum annual increase of 2.0%. The Consumer Price Index data to
be used shall be from the month that is three (3) months prior to the anniversary date of the agreement. The
effective date of the agreement is April 23rd, thus CPI adjustments will be determined based on the January data.
CPI data for January 2024 supports 2.5% increase for the 12-month percent change, therefore the annual
maximum increase of 2.0% shall be applied to the updated Billing Rates for 2024.
(Source: htti)s:ltwww.bis.gov/regions/wesUnews-release/consumerpriceindex losangeles.htm#tableA)
Please see the attached updated Billing Rates with the 2.00% increase for 2024. The updated schedule of Billing
Rates shall be applied to all work starting on April 23, 2024 through April 22, 2025.

Daniel Slinger
