SUBJECT: Award of Landscape Maintenance Contract for Citywide Medians and
Roadsides
ISSUE:
Should the City approve a five year contract with TruGreen Landcare to provide
landscape maintenance services for Citywide medians and roadsides at an annual cost
of $414,000?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached five year maintenance contract with TruGreen Landcare to
provide landscape maintenance services for Citywide medians and roadsides at an
annual cost of $414,000.
Approve the attached budget amendment in the amount of $78,825 to fund the contract
for the remaining nine months of the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
In 1995, following an extensive study, it was determined to be in the City's best
economic interest to maintain the landscaping of public medians and roadsides by
contract services. In April 1996 the City entered into a five -year contract with California
Landscape Maintenance (CLM) to perform contract landscape maintenance of these
areas.
Subsequently in January 2000, CLM was purchased by TruGreen Landcare (TGL) and
TGL assumed the duties and responsibilities of the existing contract. In 2001, the City
renewed the contract at the same cost for an additional five years. The contract was
Citywide Medians and Roadsides Agreement
September 27, 2005

year to year, but automatically renewable on an annual basis if the contractor is
performing in a satisfactory manner. TGL could not continue to perform the duties and
responsibilities at their current rate, $20,780 per month ($249,360 per year). TGL and
the City mutually agreed to cancel the existing contract effective March 31, 2005.
Staff completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) and a contract was awarded to Spectrum
Care Landscape at an annual cost of $308,900. Shortly after awarding the contract to
Spectrum Land Care, it became evident that the company was unable to provide the
necessary staffing levels and maintenance detail necessary to complete the contract.
On August 15, 2005, Spectrum Land Care delivered a 30 -day notice to the City to
terminate landscape maintenance services. The contract allowed the contractor to give
the City a 30 -day notice to terminate services. Attached is a follow -up letter, dated
August 29, 2005, indicating that Spectrum Land Care will continue to work through
September 30, 2005 to ensure a smooth transition with the new contractor.
In response to Spectrum Land Care's termination of the contract, staff drafted an RFP
for median and roadside landscape maintenance and mailed the RFP to 16 qualified
contractors. Four of the 16 contractors attended the mandatory pre -bid meeting and
tour on September 7, 2005 and two of those companies submitted proposals.
The costs to provide the services are as follows:
Monthly Annual
TruGreen Landcare $34,500 $414,000
Midori Gardens Landscape $69,475 $833,700
TruGreen Landcare (TGL) submitted the lowest cost proposal that met all of the
requirements of the RFP. Staff has reviewed the proposal and verified the submitted
references and insurance policies submitted by TGL. TGL performs similar landscape
maintenance in the Cities of San Clemente, Cerritos, and La Mirada, as well as the City
of Newport Beach. Staff has visited the cities noted to verify the landscape
maintenance levels.
The attached proposed contract provides for landscape maintenance of City medians
and roadsides. The contract with TGL is set to commence on October 1, 2005 and has
the option of being extended for up to four (4) additional one (1) year terms. The
contract does allow for a CPI increase, not to exceed 2% per year, starting in the
second year (January 2007). This clause was included so we do not again experience
a contractor being unable to provide sufficient resources to the City due to a rise in
costs for labor, materials, or operational costs such as insurance. Additionally, staff has
removed the clause which allows the contractor to give the City a 30 -day notice to
terminate services.

Funding Availability:
Funds were budgeted in the FY 04 -05 budget for the landscape maintenance of
Citywide medians and roadsides in the amount of $308,900. Since funds were
budgeted for the previous Spectrum Land Care bid, an additional $78,825 to fund the
remainder of the fiscal year is requested to cover the increased contract costs in the
attached budget amendment.
Environmental Review:
This project does not require environmental review.

changes in the Consumer Price Index, subject to the 2% maximum adjustment increase
set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the original Contract

Price Index for the same calendar month immediately prior to Commencement Date.
For example, if the adjustment is to occur effective June 1, 2007, the index to be used
for the numerator is the index for the month of March 2007 and the index to be used for
the denominator is the index for the month of March preceding the Commencement
Date.
The "Consumer Price Index' to be used in such calculation is the Consumer
Price Index, All Urban Consumers (All Items), for the Los Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside
Metropolitan Area, 2006 base year, published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both an official index and one or more unofficial
indices are published, the official index shall be used. If said Consumer Price Index is
no longer published at the adjustment date, it shall be constructed by conversion tables
included in such new index. The maximum increase to the Contract Amount, for any
year where an adjustment is made in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price
Index, shall not exceed 2% of the Contract Amount in effect immediately preceding such
adjustment.
This Agreement shall be governed by Section 1770 of the California State Labor
Code and in accordance with the terms of the Southern California Master Labor
Agreement, which has established a prevailing rate of per diem wages to be paid in the
performance of this Agreement. The Director of Industrial Relations has ascertained the
general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be
performed for each craft, classification, or type of workman or mechanic needed to
execute the contract. A copy of said determination is available by calling the prevailing
wage hotline number (415) 703 -4774, and requesting one from the Department of
Industrial Relations. All parties to the contract shall be governed by all provisions of the
California Labor Code Relating to prevailing wage rates (Sections 1770 -7981 inclusive).
It shall be the sole obligation of the Contractor to comply with all labor laws, rules and
regulations including, but not limited to, the requirement to pay prevailing wages and the
City shall not be liable for any violation of any labor laws, rules and regulations.
7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is understood that City retains Contractor on an independent contractor basis
and Contractor is not an agent or employee of City. The manner and means of
conducting the work are under the control of Contractor, except to the extent they are
limited by statute, rule or regulation and the expressed terms of this Agreement.

of Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees of City. Contractor
shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of performing the work,
provided that Contractor is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Anything in
this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct Contractor as to the

mean only that Contractor shall follow the desires of City with respect to the results of
the services.

Attn: Mr. Dan P. Sereno
Dear Mr. Sercno,
Spectrum Care has appreciated the opportunity to work with and for the City of New I Beach
since April 1, 2005. Although Spectrum Care had some staffing issues at the beginnirt of the
contract, I feel we have invested in numerous resources i.e. labor, supervision, equipaient,
vehicles, etc.... to make this a successful business venture for both the City of Newport Beach
and Spectrum Care.
It has become dear that no matter how many resouroes we put on the job, it doesn't �et the job
done in the "time frames" that the city desires. We feel we have giomn 100% and will continue
to do so. Having said this, I would like you to accept this written correspondence as 4 30 day
termination of landscape maintenance services, effective August 15,. 2005 between th� city of
Newport Beach and Spectrum Care. i
i
As we discussed during our phone conversation on August 26, 2105, Spectrum Care wjll stay on
the job until September 30, 2005. This a t tided time hopefully wiln asslst the City of Newport
Beach with the transitioning of a new contractor into the medlars and streetstapes cod tract.
It was also agreed upon between you and myself, that there would be no fee deductions in our
monthly contract. Spectrum Care will continue to dedicate our site staff to the job until
September 30, M.
We will do everything "reasonable" to make the transition from SM:trum Care to the 'incoming
contractor"' a "professional" transition.
Should you have any questions, pleat contact me at my office (949) 454-6900.
Y
Sincerely,
SPECTRUM CARE
