Backqround
The contract for LMA No. 4 has previously been awarded on a low-bid selection basis.
However, during the last several years, awarding the contract based only on price has
resulted in contractors providing unrealistically low bids and then not being able to
perform the work according to the contract specifications. When contracts for four other

Contract No. C32610
LMAs expired last year, staff revised the process of bidding landscape maintenance
work from a low bid selection to a service-based selection that evaluates cost as well as
other factors. Over the last year, the vendors selected using the new selection process
have proven to be reliable and have provided good service without the need for staff to
resort to assessing deficiencies, which was a common occurrence with past vendors
selected using the low-bid process.
A Notice Inviting Requests for Proposals was advertised on April 5, 2013, and proposals
were received from the following companies:
Contractor
Vintage Associates, Inc.
ExcelLandscape
Kirkpatrick Landscaping Services
Mariposa Landscapes, Inc.
24 Month
Main Location Proposal Amount
Bermuda Dunes, CA $249,360
Corona, CA $249,600
Indio, CA $249,600
Irwindale, CA $282,000
A proposal review committee made up of staff then met and numerically ranked the
proposals. The selection criteria was comprised of experience and history; qualified
manpower, equipment and other resources; completeness, clarity, and practicality of the
proposed work schedule; base landscape maintenance cost; cost for additional work;
completeness, thoroughness, clarity, and neatness of the proposal; and credit was
given based on the location of the proposer's main office of operations with higher
points awarded for a Coachella Valley main office. Based on this thorough review, the
selection committee recommends awarding the contract to Vintage Associates, Inc.
The FY 2013-14 budget for this LMA was prepared based on the current 12-month
contract amount of $67,980. The current contract was bid three years ago as a standard
public works bid (low-bid selection) during a period of little work and corresponding low
prices, and the contract scope of work was altered to lower costs. This altered scope
inctuded increasing the intervals between certain work activities, and work normally
done by a contracted vendor was picked up by Landscape Services staff. It is now
apparent that the expanded intervals have resulted in the deterioration of the
landscapes. Also, with the reduction in Landscape Services staff, they are no longer
able to keep up with the work activities they assumed from the contractor. As a result,
the intervals in the new contract have been modified to insure that landscapes do not
deteriorate, and the work staff was doing has been added back into the new contract.
New areas have also been added and a few areas removed resulting in a net gain in
area being maintained in LMA 4. The new service-based selection process has
resulted in a more realistic amount needed to perform the contractual work. These
aforementioned points have resulted in a net annual increase in costs for the new
contract. This annual increase is $56,700 above the existing contract and what was
budgeted for FY 2013-14. This difference will be addressed at the mid-year budget
review.

May 9, 2013
Contract No. C32610
Extra repair work and services covers unquantifiable activities necessary for landscape
maintenance, which are not part of the landscape maintenance contract. This repair
work and services includes, but is not limited to, repair and replacement of irrigation
equipment; repair, maintenance and replacement of lighting equipment; emergency tree
work; replacement of trees and shrubs; pest control; and accident and vandalism repair
and replacement.
Fiscal Analvsis
The amount budgeted in the FY 2013-14 budget for this work was based on a low bid
selection process. The service-based selection used for this contract, which evaluates
cost as well as other factors, has resulted in a higher cost. This difference will be
addressed at mid-year budget review. This is an on-going maintenance activity with no
fiscal impact beyond the contract and extra repair work amounts.

Overail bok of property:
At Vintage Assoaates, natural pruning is the prefeRed style. Not oniy is it aesthetically supeciw, plants
are abie to show off their natural forms, textures and blooms, but it is the preferred "co�rect" method of
most horticulturists. We have also faund that when trained and pruned properly it actually takes no more
tune than the typicat format pruning method of "balls and squares". What it does take is training and
managetYrent.
The right team consisting of good supervision, training, customer service, innovation and the necessary
equipment allow �ntage Assaciates to be very productive and provide quality landscape maintenance.
We believe that we are feaders in our industry because of our philosophy and dedication to
professionalism.
Thank you for considering Vntage Landscape for your landscape needs.
