Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, amend Contract No. C26550 for Landscape
Maintenance Area No. 6 to add maintenance of two additional frontages at
Desert Willow
Discussion:
On June of 2007, the Redevelopment Agency purchased PM 27400. The
property is located north of Country Club Drive and east of Desert Willow Drive
and includes two landscape frontages, one on Country Club Drive and the other
on Desert Willow Drive. This two frontages need to be added to the Landscape
Maintenance Area 6 contract for regular landscape maintenance.
On May 22, 2007, the City Clerk advertised and called for proposals professional
horticultural services for the City's Landscape Maintenance Area No. 6. Contract
was awarded to Hort Tech, Inc. in the amount of $149,600.00.
Staff contacted the landscape maintenance vendor for this area, and requested a
price quote for the additional work. Staff reviewed their estimate of $300 a
month, and found it to be consistent with the cost of services for similar areas in
the current contract.
Funds are available in account 241-4195-495-3320.
