Commission Recommendation
The Housing Commission reviewed the recommendation at its regular meeting of April 8, 2015. Staff
will provide a verbal report upon request.
Background
This year's Citywide Tree Pruning Program includes both the City of Palm Desert and Housing
Authority properties. The subject program was advertised in the local media requesting sealed bids.
On Friday, March 27, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., sealed bids were opened and read aloud, with the following
bids received:
Contractor
location
Price
Liberty Landscaping, Inc.
Riverside, CA
$ 195,639.38
West Coast Arborists, Inc.
Anaheim, CA
$ 286,795.00
Upon reviewing the bid submitted by the apparent low bidder, Liberty Landscaping, irregularities were
found. The Bidder's Bond, which requires 10 percent of the bid amount, does not contain the actual
amount but rather lists "10% of amount bid." In addition, the Contractor's signature on the Bidder's
Bond is not notarized. The City Attorney indicated that the errors are minor and that the irregularities
may be waived.
Fiscal Analysis
Funds are available for the portion of the contract relative to the City and Assessment Districts in
Parks and Recreation Accounts 110-4610-453-3320, 110-4611-453-3320, 110-4610-453-3371,
Repair/Maintenance Medians Account 110-4614-453-3370, and Assessment District Fund 200
accounts; and for the Housing Authority, funds are set aside in the 2014-15 and proposed 2015-16
Housing Authority operating budgets. n
