CONTENTS: Contract Amendment No. 1
Estimate
Recommendation:
By minute motion, amend Contract No. C26560 for Landscape
Maintenance Area No. 9 to add trash collection service on El Paseo.
Discussion:
On May 22, 2007, the City Clerk advertised and called for proposals for
professional horticultural services for the City's Landscape Maintenance Area
No. 9. The contract was awarded to Hort Tech, Inc. in the amount of $231,000.
It was brought to staffs attention by the contractor that trash collection and
disposal services were not part of the original contract. Staff reviewed the
contract and determined that this service was inadvertently omitted from the
contract documents. This service is important to the El Paseo Business area. At
the request of the City, Hort Tech has been performing this service on a non -
contractual monthly basis and is requesting payment be made current for the
months of August through November.
Staff reviewed their estimate of $575 a month, and is in agreement with the cost
proposal.
Funds are available in account 110-4614-453-3370.
