Introduction to New City Landscape Contractors (J. Martin)
Body
BACKGROUND: At the Committee’s July 9, 2025 meeting, Director Martin updated the Committee on the selection of the City's landscape contractors for Fiscal Year 2026 (beginning October 1, 2025).
For Public Rights of Way (e.g. swales) and the grounds around the City's water treatment facilities, Juniper Landscaping will become the City's landscape contractor of record.
For the City's park areas, Superior Landscaping Services of Naples LLC will become the City's landscape contractor of record.
Both landscape contracts were awarded by the City for three years, with an option for additional, future, three-year renewals.
Chair Needles requested that Director Martin invite representatives from both of the newly-confirmed landscape contractors to address and have dialogue with the Committee in the October/November timeframe.
Confirmation of the invitation to both landscape firms will be provided at the Committee’s September 3rd meeting.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Confirm the Committee’s Agenda and expectations for its review with one or both of these contractors in October or November, 2025.
POTENTIAL MOTION: None expected.
