Staff reviewed the bid proposal from the lowest bidder, RZ Landscape, and found
that it did not contain a bid bond as required by the bid specifications. The City
Attorney was consulted and recommends that the bid be considered non-
responsive.
During staff's review of the second lowest bidder, Westcape, irregularities were
found with the company's bid bond. Staff requested the City Attorney's review of
the documents and his determination was that the bid bond did not meet the bid
specifications and recommended that this bid also be considered non-
responsive.
Staff reviewed the bid proposal for the third lowest bidder, Vintage Associates,
and determined that all bid requirements have been met. Vintage Associates
has a long, successful history with the City of Palm Desert.
Funds are available in account 110-4614-453-3320.
Therefore, staff recommends that, by minute motion, City Council deem the
lowest bids by RZ Landscape and Westcape non -response, award Contract No.
C27190 for Landscape Maintenance Area No. 2 to Vintage Associates of
Bermuda Dunes, California in the amount of $126,000, include extra work and
services at the specified contract amount, and authorize the Mayor to execute
the agreement.
