As such, our estimates for labor and equipmeni are based on rhis informarion and
assume all transport must be dispatched from rhe Darby Road Location.
1 Stake-Bed Truck (Sole use for contract). Since the majority of the materials and
equipment are smaller hand tools, a larger F-150 and trailer will not be required.
1 Ford F-650 Chipper Truck and Vermeer Chipper (S). During certain pruning
seasons where substantial plant material is being removed, we would supply a
chipper and chipper truck to more effectively remove materials.
CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A(CONTINUED)
Tree, Shrub, Ground Cover Prunin� Equipment and Tools.
(list both powered and hand equipment/tools)
Hand Pruners (One set per person) - The majority of the plant pruning will be done
with standard hand pruners.
Rakes, Burlap Bags (Several per crew) - Detailing of the Decomposed Granite (DG)
will be done with raking and hand collection of refuse and dead plant materials.
Other—Standard gardening tools to be used for removal of dead plants, including
shovels, madox, etc. (Number provided is as required to properly equip crewj.
Safety pruning—Conducted as scheduled. Loppers and hand saws will be used.
Each worker would have access to both a lopper and a hand saw.
Tree pruning— If selected by the City of Palm Desert to provide tree pruning work as
an extra, Hort Tech would utilize its F-800 high lift truck.
Tree removal— If selected by the City of Palm Desert to provide tree removal, Hort
Tech would provide necessary chippers, chipper trucks and stump grinders.
Irri�ation Svstem and Maintenance Equipment
(List both powered and hand equipment/tools)
The supervisor, who will perform the majority of the irrigation work, will have
consistent access to all necessary tools to install irrigation systems and to diagnose
and repair faults. This would include: a wire tracker, a pulser, a volt meter, PVC
hand cutters, shovels for digging and trenching and small tools for adjusting heads.
CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A(CONTINUED)
The supervisor would also have a set of radios, in order to allow him to
communicate remotely with a laborer, to more effectively diagnose problems at an
irrigation head which is a large distance from a valve.
The supervisor would also have access to a chain wrench for filter maintenance as
well as algae control tablets for the filters. Our understanding from the site visits to
Desert Willow is that irrigation is difficult due to the use of reclaimed water from the
golf course. We have experienced this problem with our golf course clients before
and have found the systematic use and cleaning of ambiotic filters (Note: price for
filters is not included in Hort Tech's bid) and/or algae control tablets can
dramatically reduce the number of clogged irrigation heads.
Pesticide Application Equipment
(List both powered and hand equipment/tools)
Two (2) Solo Backpack Sprayers. All Hort Tech crews are assigned backpack sprayers
which are used for chemical application when our larger 50 gallon Lesco sprayers,
which are typically mounted on a Daihatsu, cannot adequately access certain areas.
Given the terrain of Desert Willow, we would anticipate operating exclusively with
Backpack sprayers.

CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED)
ability to install new systems and diagnose and repair problems with clocks, valves,

Laborers (Three provided)— Hort Tech employs several experienced laborers (with a
tenure of 6 months to several years) who work at our various job locations. For new
projects, the majority of the laborers come from existing crews and will not be newly
hired. This helps to ensure the work is completed in a consistent fashion and
manner throughout Hort Tech. At Desert Willow, we would expect at least two (2)
laborers to be experienced Hort Tech employees with southwest desert landscape
experience. Given the constant evolution of our staffing needs, we cannot
specifically identify the individuals who will be the laborers on the project.

CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED)
Overview of Monthly Maintenance Schedule
Attached is Hort Tech's schedule for monthly maintenance of the Desert Willow property. We have provided more
staffing than the current Contractor because we believe the size of the property and the mature nature of the
landscape warrants more attention than a two-man crew can provide.
Overview of Monthlv Schedule
After deducting travel time and breaks,each worker is available for approximately 7.5 hours per day,implying
total crew hours of approximately 30 person hours per day(4 x 7.5)and 150 person hours per week(4 x 7.5 x 5).
Trash Removal: Every Monday,we anticipate using the entire crew(30 person hours per week)to undertake trash
removal. Given the estimated property size of 8 acres(approx 400,000 sq feet),this implies approximately 13,300
sq feet per hour. We believe this represents adequate resources to cover the entire property for trash clearance
each week.
Monthly Meetings:The supervisor and the general superintendent would attend the Monthly meeting on the
third Tuesday of each month for 3 hours. This would include a walk through of the property,an update on work
status and review of logs on irrigation and pesticide use. The greenwaste report will also be furnished at this
meeting.
Irrigation Check:The supervisor and one gardener would spend each friday(15 hours per week)conducting a
thorough irrigation check of the property and completing minor repairs as necessary. From October through April,
this may be reduced to every two weeks, and staff will be deployed to raking or detailing.
Safety Pruning: Every fourth Wednesday and Thursday(15 hours per month)of each month,or more often if
required,the supervisor and one laborer would prune any low hanging branches deemed to be a safety issue.
Raking DG,Weeding,Pruning and Detailing:While this block of actions covers several activities,we have
constructed our schedule like this because we feel the activity of weeding, pruning,detailing and the subsequent
raking should be done simultaneously. Two or three laborers would weed, prune and detail the shrubs and
landscape in a particular area while one would immediately follow behind with a rake. The pruning performed
each month will depend on the plant species,which is outlined in our annual proposal.
The majority of the team's time will be allocated to these activities. In week one, 105 person hours are applied (14
person days x 7.5 hours). In weeks two and four,75 person hours are applied (10 person days x 7.5 hours)and in
week three,97.5 person hours are applied (13 person days x 7.5 hours). This implies a single person,on average,
would need to rake,weed, prune and detail about 2,250 sq feet per hour to ensure the entire property could be
covered every two weeks. We believe our laborers would work faster than this,which would allow certain key
areas,such as the entry way drive to the clubhouse)to be covered each week.
While this is a considerable amount of energy devoted to weeding and pruning, Hort Tech believes it is necessary
to improve the overall look of the property. Since the landscape has matured so much since it was initially
installed,the plants are encroaching on one another and several volunteer plants can be seen throughout the
property. Hort Tech believes the thinning of the plant material,combined with the removal of the dead or dying
plants and volunteers would improve the look of the property substantially. Any extra time not spent pruning
could be spent removing volunteers and removing the less desirable plant when two plants are encroaching on
one another.
Chemical Application: Every second Wednesday and Thursday(15 hours per month)of each month,the supervisor
and one laborer would apply barricade, post, roundup or merit depending on the season,weeds or pests present.
During some fall and winter months,when no chemical applications are required,this time could be used for
weeding, pruning and detailing.

CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL- SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED)
Overview of Annual Maintenance Schedule
Attached is Hort Tech's schedule for annual maintenance of the Desert Willow property.
Based on a thorough walk through of the property, information provided in Proposal
Documents and the City of Palm Desert Maintenance Guide, this schedule represents
differences in work tasks presented in the monthly schedule, as they vary through the
course of the year.
Overview of Annual Schedule
Irrigation System Testing: All systems will be tested on a weekly schedule from May through
September, and every two weeks from October through April. Minor repairs, as defined in
the Proposal Documents, are included in the work schedule and contract. Quarterly
irrigation maintenance is also included in the Schedule.
Pruning Activities: The Annual Schedule includes forecasted pruning activities for each
month, based on current planting on the property.
Chemical Applications: Horf Tech anticipates applying a pre-emergent herbicide such as
Surflan or Barricade in both Spring (March) and Summer (July). We would also apply a post-
emergent such as Fusilade to address Bermuda Grass and planters in the Summer (June or
July). A post emergent such as Roundup would be applied as required throughout the year
(not represented on Schedule). Finally, Horf Tech has been advised there is a mealybug
problem on desert spoons. Horf Tech would apply Merit in both March and June to address
the mealybugs.

CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL -- SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED)
COMMUNICATtOfVS, TRAFFIC SAF���`�, $� GREENWASTE RECYC�ING
Communications:
An effective company-wide communications system is essential in executing the wark in
this proposal�. Also, the Contractor must designate some responsible employee to be
`$ avaiiabis on a twenty-four(24) hour basis to receive, and respond to emergency calls.
Please describe your company's intemal communications system; both office and in
field, and how it will enable your firm to provide the level of service outlined in the
project specifications. Also, please describe how your company will provide the
specified twenty-four (24} hour communication capability. Use additional sheets as
necessary to provide a full, and com�rehensive response.
Durin�Office Hours(Mondav to Fridav 7am—4pm)
Senior employees(Jack Kerns,Hudson Hale,Bryan Jensen,Wade Howery)can be reached through the office(760 360 9000)
at any time during office hours. Any of these people are capable of addressing any urgent problems by ensuring the
necessary expertise can be dispatched to solve the issues. All foremen and irrigators are equipped with Nextel radios and can
be dispatched to necessary job sites where they are required. Since the majority of our work is within Palm Desert and
Rancho Mirage,any necessary irrigation or other expertise could be dispatched to any job site within 30 minutes.
Outside of Office Hours
Hort Tech clients are provided an on-call list of all senior supervisors who may be contacted in case of emergency. If this is a
situation which cannot be solved by supervisors,they will contact the General Superintendent and/or officers of the company.
Traffic Safetv:
Proj�ct General Provisions require that the selected Contractor provide saf� and
effective work area traffic control, per Caltrans' "Tratfic Manual, Chapfer 5, Traffic
C:�ntrols"and WATCH Manual. Please describe yau� company's iraffic control practices
and training generally, and how your firm intends to conduct work artia traffic contro!
operations if s�lected to provide service for this project. Use additi�nal sh�nts as
necessary to orovide a full, and comprehensive respense.
For the areas defined in this proposal,under the normal course of operation,Hort Tech does not believe that any special
trat�ic control is required(i.e. for closing or blocking lanes). In the event that we need to divert traffic when parking a
chipping truck,for example,we will work with Tops and Barricades to provide appropriate services.
Hort Tech's general traffic safety training is conducted through weekly safety meetings.Topics on traffic safety include:
- Backing up Vehicles: using a spotter to advise driver of conditions and notify other drivers or pedestrians.
- Traffic Control: setting up pylons to divert traffic when equipment or debris may be in roadway,displaying reflective
signage for detours when required.
- Safe Driving: use right hand lane,drive 5 miles under speed limit,double stopping difference when using trailer.
- Safety Vests: all employees must wear safety vests while working near roadsides or parking lots.
- Use of cones and safety signage as required by the City of Palm Deset.
