Council Agenda
Item No. 8
September 10, 2002
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: General Services Director
SUBJECT: Award of Landscape Maintenance Contract Agreement for Newport Coast
Public Areas
Recommendation
Approve the attached contract agreement with Park Landscape Maintenance, Inc. to provide
landscape maintenance of City medians and roadside areas in the Newport Coast area effective
October 1, 2002 at an annual cost of $78,237.
Background
In 1995 it was determined, following an extensive study, to be in the City's best economic
interest to maintain the landscaping of public medians and roadsides by private contract. On
April 8, 1996 the City entered into a 5 -year contract with a private contractor, California
Landscape Maintenance, Inc. (CLM) to perform the first private maintenance functions of
medians and roadsides.
In January 2000, CLM was purchased by TruGreen- ChemLawn company and began to operate
in the City under the name of TruGreen LandCare, Inc. (TGL). TGL assumed the duties and
responsibilities of the existing maintenance contract. TGL currently provides landscape
maintenance for all medians and roadside areas in other parts of the City. Additionally, TGL
maintains 80 acres of City parks.
In December 2001, staff mailed requests for proposals (RFP) for the Newport Coast area to nine
landscape maintenance companies in preparation for the Newport Coast annexation. Three
companies responded to the RFP including TruGreen, Plant Control, and UP Landscape
Maintenance. Staff recommended that TruGreen LandCare, Inc. be awarded the contract based
on current governmental experience, proposed staffing levels, past performance, and cost of
service (low bid) of $82,800 per year.
Following the January 1 annexation of the Newport Coast area, a General Services Department
staff report recommending the award of a landscape maintenance contract to Tru-Green was
placed on the January 8, 2002 Council agenda.
FAUSERS \GSWH3➢91 .&SMff Rep.meoq 1002PLMNe.p nComtdoc
The matter was continued by Council on January 8, 2002 because the Newport Coast Master
Associations and representatives from the Newport Coast Committee of 2000 asked the City to
wait to execute a maintenance agreement with affected landowners (Newport Coast Master
Association and Newport Ridge Master Association) and to seek bids from current contractors
like Park Landscape Maintenance, Inc. Execution of the master maintenance agreement is
expected to be completed by August 30, 2002.
Since January 1, 2002, when the annexation of Newport Coast occurred, Park Landscape
Maintenance (PLM) has been performing the landscape maintenance of the public areas and has
been compensated by various Newport Coast homeowners' associations. The City has not
expended any funding for landscape maintenance except for the first two weeks of January when
it was thought that the City had automatically assumed maintenance responsibility.
Discussion
Staff prepared an informal request for proposal (RFP) for the Newport Coast landscape
maintenance of public areas in late July at the direction of Assistant City Manager Dave Kiff.
Staff contacted four companies regarding the RFP, each of which met the minimum City bid
requirements. Three firms submitted proposals and the results are as follows:
Park Landscape Maintenance
$78,237/year
TruGreen
$82,800 /year
UP Landscape Maintenance
$218,213 /year
The low bidder, PLM, as noted earlier is currently performing the landscape maintenance of all
public areas in the Newport Coast area. Since January 1, 2002, staff has continually inspected
the landscape maintenance of the public areas of Newport Coast on a weekly basis. Several of
the areas are in need of improved landscape maintenance and these locations will be noted on a
priority list for PLM.
The attached agreement with PLM is proposed for a one -year term, which will automatically
renew for four consecutive years based on satisfactory performance. The City may terminate the
agreement with a 30 day written notice at the conclusion of the initial term or during any of the
automatic extension periods.
To ensure that a high standard of service is maintained, specifications for the installation of
materials, the application of herbicides or fertilizers, the planting of landscaping materials, and
hardscape and landscape maintenance schedules are detailed in the proposed agreement. City
staff will monitor PLM activities on a weekly basis.
The agreement also includes a provision allowing the City to alter the frequency of maintenance
when necessary. City supervisory staff will monitor service levels and review PLM's required
daily, weekly, monthly, and annual reports of maintenance activities to make adjustments as
necessary.
F: \USERS\GSVUHam ond\ SmffReports \091002PLMNewportCoas[.doc
Following the award of a contract to PLM, staff will press to bring all public landscape areas to
current City standards including some planned capital improvements to irrigation and plantings.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus
