Page 2 of 2
which is set to expire on June 30, 2020.
Mariposa Landscapes has agreed to a second, one-year contract extension commencing
July 1, 2020. However, due to the increase of the State's mandated minimum wage and
other related costs, they are requesting a 2% increase of $363.38 per month ($4,360.56
per year). Staff finds the request to be reasonable given that outside influences mandated
the cost increase. The new total contract amount will be $222,390.96 per year
($18,532.58 per month).
Repair work and services cover unforeseen issues/activities that may arise that require
landscape maintenance services. These services are in addition to the general services
specified in the landscape maintenance contract and include items such as the repair and
replacement of irrigation and landscape lighting equipment, emergency tree work,
replacement of trees and shrubs, pest control, accident or vandalism repair, replacement
of damaged signs and other items, water conservation related work, repairing and
replacing landscape site furnishings, and performing enhancement work as needed.
Fiscal Analysis
The fiscal impact for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 operating budget is an increase of
$4,360.56 over the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 budget. Staff included this increase in the
Fiscal Year 2020-2021 proposed operating budget.

well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract

intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one-year guarantee of all
materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officers and
agents, as stipulated in said Contract Documents, then this obligation shall become null and void;
otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless
otherwise provided for in the Contract Documents, the above obligation shall hold good for a
period of one (1) year after the acceptance of the work by City, during which time if Contractor
shall fail to make full, complete, and satisfactory repair and replacements and totally protect the

including, but not limited to, California Code of Civil Procedure section 337.15.
Whenever Contractor shall be, and is declared by the City to be, in default under the

time, alteration or addition to the terms of the Contract Documents or to the Project to be

Subject: LMA-9 Contract No. C36590 Renewal FY — 2020-2021
Dear Mr. Chavez:
i
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc., hereby requests the extension of Contract No. C36590 for one
additional year ending June 30, 2021. However, as the state minimum wage continues to rise,
we are requesting a 2% increase to be applied to our contract price and unit prices. This
adjustment will help us offset the mandated increase fully burdened for the approximately 3160
hours that are affected by the increase.
With your approval, effective July 1, 2020, the new monthly price for LMA-9 Contract #C36590
will be $18,532.58 per month or $222,390.96 per year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing Mariposa Landscapes, Inc. the
opportunity to serve the City of Palm Desert and its residents for the past year. We look forward
to continuing servicing the City for many years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
