BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Pleasanton maintains approximately 85 acres of street median landscaping <br /> accounting for nearly 40% of the total medians maintained in the city. To effectively <br /> control costs, median mulch replenishment has been contracted out, allowing Parks <br /> staff to focus on more specialized services, such as irrigation, plantings and field <br /> maintenance. Funding has been allocated in the Parks Maintenance Division operating <br /> budget for miscellaneous contract landscape maintenance. <br /> Staff conducted an extensive out-reach effort to ensure that vendors were given <br /> sufficient notice and opportunity to submit bids. Submittals for this project were opened <br /> on August 15, 2018, with a total of five (5) proposals received. A voluntary bid <br /> conference was held on August 29, 2018 to discuss scope of work and answer any <br /> questions. Of the five (5) firms, (Rubicon Landscape, New Image Landscape, Northern <br /> Management, Suarez and Munoz, and Terra Landscape), New Image Landscape <br /> provided the lowest qualified bid. <br /> The contract is divided into three years with each year addressing a pre-determined <br /> section of the city, so all medians will be replenished every three years. The project will <br /> be initiated each fall and the contractor will have a designated timeframe to complete <br /> the work. Project administration is under the direction of the Parks Maintenance <br /> Division. <br /> Submitted by: Fisc Review: Approve by: <br /> *\ -\ <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olsen Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
