HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Mike Pisani, Acting Municipal Operations Department Director — (949) 644 -3055, mpisani@newportbeachca.gov Maurice Turner (949) 644 -3057 Amendment No. One to Agreement for Weed Abatement Services ABSTRACT: The City utilizes a contractor to perform weed abatement services including preventative and as- needed vegetation removal at 36 locations for erosion protection and fire hazard reduction. One location was expanded to include a larger service area which will result in a cost increase. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the amendment with Southland Landscape Maintenance for weed abatement services at various City -owned properties at an increased annual cost of $29,430, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There are adequate funds in Municipal Operations and Fire Department budgets to fund these services this fiscal year, and funds for these services will continue to be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years. DISCUSSION: Following a competitive Request for Proposal process, at its June 11, 2014 meeting, the City Council approved a five -year agreement with Southland Landscape Maintenance for weed abatement. In the RFP, Site #12, known as Buck Gully (Middle), had been inadvertently listed as a smaller area then it actually is (2 vs. 34 acres). Upon finding the error, staff contacted Southland for a revised cost for Site #12 based upon the correct acreage. The cost for Area #12 rose from $25,750 to $55,180 per year. Therefore, an amendment with Southland Landscape Maintenance is submitted for Council approval. The amendment will increase the annual cost of the agreement by $29,430, or $147,150 over the five -year term of the agreement. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action requires no environmental review, as it is not a project pursuant to CEQA. 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).
