TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

TITLE: Landscape Maintenance Agreement for Parks and Facilities
ABSTRACT:
The City's current landscape contractor for parks and facilities advised the City that, due
to increasing costs of minimum wage and other factors, they cannot honor the terms of
their current agreement at the existing prices. The City prepared a Request for
Proposals for the Landscape Maintenances Services at Park and Facilities. Following
the RFP process, a new contractor was selected and an agreement is presented for
approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Maintenance
Agreement with Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. for Landscape Maintenance of City
Parks and Facilities for an amount not to exceed $1,975,000 per year; and
b) Approve Budget Amendment No. 16BA-014, appropriating an additional $165,397
into the FY 15-16 Parks Division budget.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The Budget Amendment records and appropriates $165,397 in increased expenditure
appropriations. The purchase will be expensed to the Contract Services — Parks and
Facilities account in the Municipal Operations Department, 0109031-811020.
DISCUSSION:
The Municipal Operations Department administers two major agreements for landscape
maintenance. One includes the medians and roadside areas throughout the City and
Newport Coast facilities and landscape. The second agreement is for the citywide
26-1

landscape maintenance of parks and facilities, except for those located in Newport
Coast and certain other areas maintained by City landscape crews.
In 2013, the City awarded an agreement to Pinnacle Landscape Company for the
landscape maintenance of parks and facilities. The agreement had a five-year term and
is scheduled to end on August 31, 2018. On August 14, 2015, Pinnacle requested the
cancellation of the agreement, citing that the increased costs for minimum wage and
other expenses made it no longer viable for them to continue business at the current
pricing. Pinnacle provided information identifying their operating losses, and has
agreed to continue to maintain the areas until December 31, 2015.
Following the request from Pinnacle, staff from the Finance and Municipal Operations
Departments distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) to companies that perform
landscape services. The RFP required that proposing firms supply costs and a work
plan for the maintenance of over 250 acres of landscape in the City and required a
minimum staffing level of 27 employees dedicated to the contract. The minimum
manpower requirement is included in both landscape agreements and serves to ensure
that the selected contractor has a sufficient number of personnel to adequately perform
the required work on a daily basis. It is a mandatory staffing requirement, and any staff
shortages are required to be reported to the City contract administrator on a daily basis.
The proposed agreement includes an increase of three contract personnel from the
current staffing level. This agreement also includes approximately 20 acres of
additional landscape currently maintained by City staff; the loss of three limited term
employees from the Refuse Division outsourcing requires this shift to contract services.
This also meets the department goal of shifting more landscape maintenance to
contract services as positions in the Parks Division become vacant.
A mandatory pre -proposal meeting was attended by seven firms, and the City received
three proposals by the October 21, 2015, closing date. The proposals were evaluated
by City staff on the basis of qualifications, work experience and cost, with qualifications
and experience being weighted 50% and cost 50%. The results were as follows:

After reviewing the cost and performance qualifications of the three firms, staff found
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. (Mariposa) to be the most responsive of the proposers.
References for Mariposa provided positive comments as to the quality of services
provided. In Orange County, Mariposa currently has landscape contracts in Anaheim,
Santa Ana, and Tustin. Mariposa is a full spectrum landscape company with services
including landscape maintenance, construction, and tree services. Additionally, much of
their management team and many other employees have been together over 20 years,
which shows the strength and stability of the company.
Despite Merchants Landscapes slightly lower price cost, there where areas of concern
in regards to their references, work plans, and previous experience in the City.
Based upon references, their work plan, and company management, staff recommends
awarding the agreement to Mariposa for an initial three-year term with the option for
three extensions of one-year each, at an annual base maintenance cost of $1,677,018
plus an allowance for additional as -needed services. The additional services commonly
performed include irrigation repairs, damage from traffic accidents, and renovations to
landscaped areas in parks, at City facilities, and on medians.
If the agreement is approved, Mariposa will begin service under the new agreement on
January 1, 2016.
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.

26-6
Agreement. At the City's discretion and in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement,
after the first three (3) years, this Agreement may be extended for the fourth (4th), fifth

("Billing Rates") shall be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index,
subject to the maximum adjustment set forth below. Such adjustment shall be made by
multiplying the Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
value of the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding
the calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of
which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month
immediately prior to Effective Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such

however, shall the amount payable under this Agreement be reduced below the Billing
Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment. The maximum adjustment
increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where an adjustment is made pursuant to this
Section, shall not exceed the Consumer Price Index or 2.0% of the Billing Rates in

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS — MAINTENANCE/REPAIR/JANITORIAL SERVICES
1. Provision of Insurance. Without limiting Contractor's indemnification of City, and
prior to commencement of Work, Contractor shall obtain, provide and maintain at
its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the
type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to City. Contractor
agrees to provide insurance in accordance with requirements set forth here. If
Contractor uses existing coverage to comply and that coverage does not meet
these requirements, Contractor agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the
existing coverage.
2. Acceptable Insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance
company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact
business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders'
Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in
accordance with the latest edition of Best's Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise
approved by the City's Risk Manager.
3. Coverage Requirements.
A. Workers' Compensation Insurance. Contractor shall maintain Workers'
Compensation Insurance, statutory limits, and Employer's Liability
Insurance with limits of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) each
accident for bodily injury by accident and each employee for bodily injury
by disease in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section
3700 of the Labor Code.
Contractor shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance,
a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of City, its officers,
agents, employees and volunteers.
B. General Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance and, if necessary, umbrella liability insurance, with
coverage at least as broad as provided by Insurance Services Office form
CG 00 01, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence, two million dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate. The
policy shall cover liability arising from premises, operations, products -
completed operations, personal and advertising injury, and liability
assumed under an insured contract (including the tort liability of another
assumed in a business contract).
C. Automobile Liability Insurance. Contractor shall maintain automobile
insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01
covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of Contractor
arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this

Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. Page C-1
26-58
vehicles, in an amount not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000)
combined single limit each accident.
D. Pollution Liability Insurance. If required, Contractor shall maintain a policy
providing contractor's pollution liability ("CPL") coverage with a total limit of
liability of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per loss and two
million dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate per policy period. Claims -
made policies require a 5 -year extended reporting period. The CPL policy
shall include coverage for cleanup costs, third -party bodily injury and
property damage, including loss of use of damaged property or of property
that has not been physically injured or destroyed, resulting from pollution
conditions caused by contracting operations. Coverage as required in this
paragraph shall apply to sudden and non -sudden pollution conditions
resulting from the escape or release of smoke, vapors, fumes, acids,
alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids, or gases, waste materials, or other
irritants, contaminants, or pollutants. The CPL shall also provide coverage
for transportation and off -Site disposal of materials. The policy shall not
contain any provision or exclusion (including any so-called "insured versus
insured" exclusion or "cross -liability" exclusion) the effect of which would
be to prevent, bar, or otherwise preclude any insured or additional insured
under the policy from making a claim which would otherwise be covered
by such policy on the grounds that the claim is brought by an insured or
additional insured against an insured or additional insured under the
policy.
4. Other Insurance Requirements. The policies are to contain, or be endorsed to
contain, the following provisions:
A. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured
pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation
against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees
and volunteers or shall specifically allow Contractor or others providing
insurance evidence in compliance with these requirements to waive their
right of recovery prior to a loss. Contractor hereby waives its own right of
recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers
from each of its subconsultants.
B. Additional Insured Status. All liability policies including general liability,
products and completed operations, excess liability, pollution liability, and
automobile liability, if required, shall provide or be endorsed to provide that
City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be included as
insureds under such policies.
C. Primary and Non Contributory. All liability coverage shall apply on a
primary basis and shall not require contribution from any insurance or self-
insurance maintained by City.
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. Page C-2
26-59
D. Notice of Cancellation. All policies shall provide City with thirty (30)
calendar days notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which ten
(10) calendar days notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each
required coverage.
5. Additional Agreements Between the Parties. The parties hereby agree to the
following:
A. Evidence of Insurance. Contractor shall provide certificates of insurance
to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with
a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers' compensation and other
endorsements as specified herein for each coverage. Insurance
certificates and endorsement must be approved by City's Risk Manager
prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance
shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this
Agreement. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of
all required insurance policies, at any time.
B. City's Right to Revise Requirements. City reserves the right at any time
during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of
insurance required by giving Contractor sixty (60) calendar days advance
written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to Contractor, City and Contractor may renegotiate
Contractor's compensation.
C. Right to Review Subcontracts. Contractor agrees that upon request, all
agreements with subcontractors or others with whom Contractor enters
into contracts with on behalf of City will be submitted to City for review.
Failure of City to request copies of such agreements will not impose any
liability on City, or its employees. Contractor shall require and verify that
all subcontractors maintain insurance meeting all the requirements stated
herein, and Contractor shall ensure that City is an additional insured on
insurance required from subcontractors. For CGL coverage,
subcontractors shall provide coverage with a format at least as broad as
CG 20 38 04 13.
D. Enforcement of Agreement Provisions. Contractor acknowledges and
agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform
Contractor of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional
obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
E. Requirements not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features
or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on
coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given
coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive,
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. Page C-3
26-60
or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the
Contractor maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the
City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for higher limits maintained
by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the
specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to
the City.
F. Self-insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to
and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured
retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-
insurance will not be considered to comply with these requirements unless
approved by City.
G. City Remedies for Non -Compliance If Contractor or any sub -
consultant fails to provide and maintain insurance as required herein, then
City shall have the right but not the obligation, to purchase such
insurance, to terminate this Agreement, or to suspend Contractor's right to
proceed until proper evidence of insurance is provided. Any amounts paid
by City shall, at City's sole option, be deducted from amounts payable to
Contractor or reimbursed by Contractor upon demand.
H. Timely Notice of Claims. Contractor shall give City prompt and timely
notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from
Contractor's performance under this Contract, and that involve or may
involve coverage under any of the required liability policies. City assumes
no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)
to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve City.
Contractor's Insurance. Contractor shall also procure and maintain, at its
own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own
judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of
the Work.

hereby waive notice of any such change, extension of time, alterations or additions to
the terms of the Contract or to the Work or to the specifications.
In the event that any principal above named executed this Bond as an individual,
