Award of Contract for Landscape Maintenance Services
Body
BACKGROUND:
The current Landscape Maintenance Contract No. 16-014 was awarded for an initial 3-year term (March 14th, 2016 to March 14th, 2019) with a possibility of a one 3-year extension until March 14th, 2022. In a renewal letter initiated by the City dated February 8th, 2019, Affordable Landscaping Services agreed to renew their contract under the same terms, conditions and pricing until March 14th, 2022. However, after Council discussion, on February 19th, 2019 City Council only approved a 6-month extension of this contract and directed the City Manger to rebid this service.
On July 24th, 2019 staff advertised RFP No.19-017 for landscaping services. Bids were received and opened on September 5th, 2019. Three (3) bids were received for the following categories:
1. Roadway Medians
2. Roadside Trees
3. Bridges (riprap and landscaped areas of the approach ramps, sides and underneath the bridge abutment embankment slopes)
4. Miscellaneous City owned vacant lots and Right-of-Ways
5. Public Parks and Open Spaces
6. Athletic Fields
7. Government Facilities (includes all water and sewer utility plant locations)
Landscape proposers could bid on all or any of the seven (7) sections. The following is the results of the bid opening, along with the current Contract values:
