BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Pleasanton's population is approaching 80,000 within approximately 24 <br /> square miles. Within the City's boundaries are: <br /> • 17 Community Parks — 241 acres <br /> • 25 Neighborhood Parks — 140 acres <br /> • 75 acres of Median Landscape <br /> • 11 Open Space Areas— 810 acres <br /> • Fire Station 4 — 3.3 acres <br /> It is not always practical or cost effective for City staff to perform certain landscape <br /> maintenance functions that are essential to keep the City in good order. Out-sourced <br /> contracting has been the solution when cost evaluations determine that the work can be <br /> provided at a lower cost by contractors. <br /> Tree Sculpture Corporation, dba Terra Landscape, has provided a comprehensive <br /> landscape management approach to successfully achieving maintenance standards <br /> and goals. Tree Sculpture has provided an organized and efficient approach to <br /> performing the work in a timely manner, streamlined communications for immediate <br /> contact with field crews, and facilitated a willingness to foster a partnership with the City <br /> of Pleasanton to accomplish the anticipated work. <br /> The project scope consists of litter removal, shrub and ground cover trimming, and <br /> weed/insect control in several street median areas; the Park and Ride Lot on Johnson <br /> Drive; Iron Horse Trail segment from Santa Rita Road to Busch Road; and the care and <br /> replanting of the 64 Main Street Color Bowls, which will be changed out in Spring 2019 <br /> with more colorful plantings. Several of the more notable street median areas include <br /> Sunol Boulevard, Bernal Avenue, Valley Avenue, Vineyard Avenue, West Las Positas <br /> Boulevard, and Stanley Boulevard. Project administration is under the direction of the <br /> Parks Maintenance Division. <br /> Staff is requesting to enter into a second amendment to the agreement with Tree <br /> Sculpture Corporation (dba Terra Landscape) for a nine (9) month period starting <br /> October 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 with a not-to-exceed amount of$395,000. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved •, : <br /> 1► IN <br /> /k <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olsen Ne son Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
