Other—Standard gardening tools to be used for removal of dead plants, including shovels, madox, etc (Number provided is as required to properly equip both crews). 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 removai, Hort Tech would provide necessary chippers, chipper trucks and stump grinders. CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A(CONTINUED) Irri�ation Svstem and Maintenance Equipment (List both powered and hand equipment/tools) The supervisor, who will perform the majority of the irrigation work, wilt 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. 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. Pesticide Application Equipment (List both powered and hand equipment/tools) Two (2) Solo Backpack Sprayers (one for each team) and one (1) SO gallon Lesco sprayer, typically mounted on a Daihatsu, will be used in combination to cover the varied needs of the six properties under this contract.

Be sure to note by title any applicable licenses/certifications held by assigned personnel. Indicate with (S) if listed personnel are to be shared with another contract/ project. Use additional sheets as necessary to provide a full, and comprehensive response. General Landscape Maintenance (List labor, and administrative and field supervisory personnel — include any relevant education, certification, licensing information and years of experience for each person listed). Jack Kerns (S)— Provides oversight and expertise to the project. 25 years experience in landscape and irrigation, Licensed C-27 contractor, Qualified Applicator Certificate, Certified Arborist. Received Bachelor of Science in Horticulture, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Hudson Hale (S)—General Superintendent. Hudson has been with Hort Tech for over 15 years and has worked on landscape maintenance and construction projects during that period. Hudson is a Certified Arborist, a licensed C-27 contractor and has a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Cornell University. Wade Howery (S)—As General Superintendent, provides oversight and direction on the project several times per week. 15 years experience in landscaping and irrigation. Certified Arborist, Associated Science Degree in Turf Management, College of the Desert. Formerly held Qualified Applicator Certificate. Victor Vasquez (S)—As Superintendent, Victor will provide part-time oversight and direction on the project. Victor currently oversees the Hort Tech crew at Rancho Las Palmas (over 40 crew members), which is relatively close to Civic Center and Baja Park. Victor has over 10 years experience in desert, turf and landscape management. We believe modest supervision to the Baja Park/Civic Centre crew from Victor CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A(CONTINUED) combined with moderate supervision from the EI Paseo foreman will provide sufficient control and experience for the Baja Park team. Daniel Espinosa—As Irrigator and Foreman, Daniel would oversee the day-to-day activities of both crews in all locations and be responsible for their activities. His primary focus would be on the EI Paseo/ Entrada del Paseo/ Highway 74 Visitor Centre crew with a secondary focus on the Baja Park/ Civic Centre crew because of the assistance Victor would provide to Baja Park. Daniel would also be the person primarily responsible for irrigation at both locations. Daniel has 5 years experience with turf and desert landscape, wherein he has gained substantial experience with irrigation, including the ability to install new systems and diagnose and repair problems with clocks, valves, heads, lines and mainlines. Given the evolving staffing needs at Hort Tech, it is possible Daniel may not be able to act as Foremen on this project. In the event we would need to use a different foreman on this project, we would substitute a foreman with equivalent experience. Laborers (Five provided)—Two (2) laborers would work with Daniel at EI Paseo/ Entrada del Paseo and three (3) laborers would work at the Baja Park/ Civic centre locations. 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. Given the constant evolution of our staffing needs, we cannot specifically identify the individuals who will be the laborers on the project. Tree Prunin� and Maintenance Wade Howery (S) —General Superintendent. As a certified arborist, Wade would provide oversight on technical pruning issues. CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED) Daniel and Laborers—Safety pruning and pruning of all trees less than 15 feet will be conducted under Daniel's supervision by himself and the laborers.

Francisco Espinosa (S) —Francisco has been with Hort Tech for thirteen (13) years and is the head irrigator. Francisco would be available to assist Daniel on an as needed basis to solve potentially difficult irrigation problems. Francisco has over ten years in the field as an irrigator and has attended several continuing education classes on irrigation, such as Irrigation Training Camp from Rain Bird. Daniel Espinosa— Foreman. Daniel would handle the day to day common irrigation problems. As noted above, Daniel has five (5) years experience dealing in irrigation. Pesticide Application (List licensed and/or certified personnel and years of experience—all non licensed, non- certified personnel must have received verifiable annual training). Bud Lombard (Subcontractor)— Hort Tech does not currently employ a person with a Qualified Applicator License, but several personnel are in the process of obtaining these qualifications. Until such qualifications are attained, Hort Tech will use Bud Lombard as a subcontractor to act as QAL. Bud has 20 years of experience, with current QAL# 30492. Wade Howery (S)—General Superintendent. Wade will provide oversight on the need, selection, mixing and application of any necessary pesticides. Wade formerly held a QAC and is in the process of updating his license and attaining a QAL. CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL—SCHEDULE A(CONTINUED) Jack Kerns (S)— Provides expertise and oversight. (QAC# 21109, Category B. Expires 12/31/2008) Daniel Espinosa and all laborers applying pesticides have/will be trained in Pesticide Application Safety. Respirators for all personnel applying pesticides are fit tested on an annual basis. landscape and Irri�ation Desi�n (List personnel with formal training and certificates and years of experience) Hudson Hale (S) —General Superintendent. Hudson has been with Hort Tech for nearly 15 years and had led its construction division for over 10 years. Hudson has gained extensive experience designing complex landscape and irrigation systems in this capacity and would be available to work on the EI Paseo contract if the situation ever demanded his expertise. Hudson is a certified arborist, a licensed C-27 contractor and has a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Cornell University. Other Staff Trainin� and Formal Education (Including years of experience) Bryan Jensen (S) —Vice President and CFO. Bryan has over 15 years of business experience in a variety of industries and oversees all administrative activities at Hort Tech.

Given the estimated property size, we believe this is sufficient to provide trash removal to all of the areas each week. The one exception to this schedule is the third Monday of the month on the EI Paseo/Entrada del Paseo crew,where the supervisor would work at the Visitor Centre on Highway 74(see below). Mow Turf: Every Tuesday, both crews would focus almost exclusively on mowing turf in their respective areas. The exception would be at the EI Paseo Crew where the supervisor services the visitor centre on Highway 74 on the first Tuesday of the month and attends the monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of each month. To account for this"loss" of time on mowing for the EI Paseo/Entrada del Paseo crew,a portion of that crew would also mow on Wednesday. Edge Turf: Every second week,one person would edge turf on both Thursday and Friday. This allows for 15 hours of turf edging on each crew, which we believe is sufficient to cover all of the turf areas. Weed,Prune and Detail:A large majority of the total time is allocated to raking DG,weeding, pruning and detailing on the desert areas and weeding, pruning and detailing of the beds associated with the turf areas. Most weeks allow for a total of 5 person days each week(37.5 hours)to undertake this activity. To the extent mowing or trash collection can be completed more quickly,this is the area where additional time is likely to be applied. The pruning undertaken each week will be dictated by the seasonal needs as outlined in the annual schedule. 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 foreman and one gardener would spend each Wednesday(15 hours per week)conducting a thorough irrigation check of the property, completing minor repairs as necessary. At the Baja Park/Civic Centre crew,the irrigation check would be conducted by two gardeners with oversight from the foreman and Victor Vasquez. From October through April,this may be reduced to every two weeks, and staff will be deployed to other necessary tasks. Chemical Application: Every second Thursday and Friday(30 hours per month each crew),two people from each crew would apply Speedzone, Manage, Progress, Barricade, Fusilade/Post, Roundup or Merit depending on the season,weeds and pests present. During some fall and winter months,when no chemical applications are required,this time could be used for weeding, pruning and detai�ing. Safety Pruning: Every fourth Thursday and Friday(15 hours per month)of each month,or more often if needed, the supervisor and one laborer would prune and low hanging branches deemed to be a safety issue. Visitor Centre: On the first Tuesday of each month and the third Monday of each month,the foreman would work at the Visitor centre to review irrigation and detail the area.

Based on a thorough walk through of the properties, 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 schedu(e 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: Hort Tech anticipates applying a pre-emergent herbicide such as Surflan 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, Hort 7ech has found mealybug to be a problem in many desert areas. Hort Tech would apply Merit in both March and June to address this. On the turf areas, Hort Tech would also apply Speedzone and Progress as needed. We anticipate applying Speedzone up to four times per year to address broadleaf weed problems and applying Progress to combat Poanna in December. Turf Management(Overseeding and Fertilization):The Annual Schedule includes forecasted fertilization activities for most months, and also covers the annual overseeding process. While the City of Palm Desert would supply the fertilizer,we have indicated the type of fertilizer Hort Tech would prefer to use. If the City of Palm Desert did not want to use Barricade or another pre-emergent fertilizer in the winter as indicated on our schedule, Hort Tech would likely need to apply another pre-emergent chemical at the same time and bill the city for this additional cost. Flower Planting(EI Paseo):The Annual Schedule includes twice yearly planting of annual color flowers. Per the proposal,all planting will be completed in one week. CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL — SCHEDULE A (CONTINUED) PROPOSED ANNUAL MATERIAL SCHEDULE Pesticides: List pesticides to be furnished to execute work tasks specified in the AQreement, General Provisions, and Special Provisions. Specify type (i.e., pre-emergent herbicide, rodent/snail bait, insecticide, etc.) and brand name, estimated amount of each type/brand to be supplied annually, and estimated annual cost for each type/brand (include applicable sales tax, overhead, and mark-up). Use additional sheets as necessary to provide a full, and comprehensive response. TYPE/BRAND ESTIMATED ESTIMATED NAME ANNUAL AMOUNT ANNVAL COST Speedzone 4 Gallons $300 Manage 5 Gallons $250 Progress 2.5 Gallons $400 Merit 1 x 6.4 oz packages $200 Surflan or Barricade 5 Gallons $650 Roundup 2.5 Gallons $150 Fusilade 2 Quarts $150 Total $2,100 * If gophers are a problem, Hort Tech would use Macabee gopher traps as required.

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 wilt contact the General Superintendent and/or officers of the campany. Traffic Safety: Proj�ct General Provisions rec�uire that the selected Contractor provide saf� and effective work arsa traffic control, per Caltrans' "Tratfic Manual, Chapter 5, Trat;ic Contrnls"and WATCH Manual. Please des�ribe your company's traffic controf pr�ctices and training generally, and how you� firm intends to conduct work area traffic co�trol operations if selected to p�ovide service for this project. Use additional she�ts as necessary to qrovide a full, and comc�rehensive respan�e. For the areas defined in this proposal,under the normal course of operation, Hort Tech does not believe that any specia! traffic 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 uaffic safety include: - Backing up Vehicles: using a spotter to advise driver of conditions and notify other drivers or pedestrians. - "Craffic 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.
