STAFF REPORT
Reject All Bids and Authorize City Clerk to Advertise for Bids for Landscape
Maintenance Services for Landscape Maintenance Area No. 2 (Contract No.
C23610)
SUBMITTED BY: H. Spencer Knight, Landscape Manager
DATE: June 23, 2005
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
1. Reject all bids from the May 3, 2005 bid opening for landscape
maintenance services for Landscape Maintenance Area No. 2 and
2. Authorize the City Clerk to advertise and call for bids for landscape
maintenance services for Landscape Maintenance Area No. 2.
Discussion:
Bids were opened on May 3, 2005 for landscape maintenance services for Landscape
Maintenance Area No. 2, which is comprised of El Paseo, Fred Waring Drive, Highway 74 and
Monterey Drive medians. The bid documents were vague about the pest control licensing
documentation required with each contractor's bid. As a result, a number of the contractors
presented bids that were incomplete and were consequently considered non -responsive. In order
to facilitate a more competitive bidding situation, staff is requesting that all bids for this landscape
maintenance area opened on May 3, 2005 be rejected, the contract specifications be clarified, and
that the contract be re -bid.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council reject all bids from the May 3, 2005 bid opening for
landscape maintenance services for Landscape Maintenance Area No. 2 and authorize the City
Clerk to advertise and call for bids for landscape maintenance services for Landscape
Maintenance Area No. 2.
