SUBJECT Extension of Agreement with TruGreen Landcare, LLC for
Landscape Maintenance of Bonita Canyon Sports Park
ISSUES:
Should the City extend the agreement with TruGreen Landcare, LLC for the
landscape maintenance of Bonita Canyon Sports Park through August 29, 2008?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the agreement with TruGreen Landcare, LLC for continued landscape
maintenance of Bonita Canyon Sports Park through August 29, 2008.
DISCUSSION:
In June of 2003, the City entered into an agreement with TruGreen Landcare LLC for
the landscape maintenance of the Bonita Canyon Sports Park (BCSP), which was
just opening to the public. The term of the agreement was for one year, but allowed
up to four one -year extensions. TruGreen was to be paid $9,728 per month
($116,736 per year) for maintenance. A copy of the agreement is attached
(Attachment 1).
In May of 2005, due to increases in the cost of fuel, insurance, worker's
compensation, and other items, TruGreen notified the City that they intended to
exercise their option to terminate the agreement unless the amount of their
compensation was increased. The City agreed to increase their compensation by
$3,966.80 per month ($47,601.60 per year) and "Amendment No. 1" to the
agreement was approved by the City Council (Attachment 2). It should be noted

that, even with this increase, TruGreen's cost was still lower than the second- lowest
cost proposal two years before.
TruGreen has performed well at BSCP since that time with no further. increase in
costs, but the amendment to the agreement did not change the termination date,
which remained June 1, 2008.

Recently, TruGreen informed staff that they will not seek an extension to the Parks
and City Facilities agreement when it comes due in August. Consequently, when
faced with. having to seek proposals for similar landscape maintenance services in a
short timeframe, staff has decided to combine the BCSP maintenance with the Parks
and Facilities maintenance. We plan to solicit proposals for the combined
maintenance later this spring, and return to Council with an agreement for approval
in July with an effective start date of September 1.
To allow this to proceed, we need to extend the expiring BSCP contract for three
months. A copy of the letter from TruGreen offering to extend the agreement is
attached (Attachment 3), as well as the draft "Amendment No. 2" prepared by the
City Attorney's Office (Attachment 4).
FUNDING:
There are adequate funds in Parks Maintenance Division budget to fund these
services this fiscal year, and funds for these services will continue to be budgeted in
subsequent fiscal years.
