BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Pleasanton's population is approaching 80,000 within approximately 24 <br /> square miles. Within the City's boundaries weed abatement locations include: <br /> • Roadside right-of-ways <br /> • City owned lots <br /> • Open space locations <br /> • Utilities water tanks and lift stations <br /> • City parks <br /> The Parks Division of the Operations Services Department uses many services by <br /> contractors to perform maintenance services that at times can be more cost effective and <br /> beneficial than using City staff. Tree Sculpture Corporation (dba Terra Landscape) has <br /> provided these services to meet the City's weed abatement requirements since 2015. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Tree Sculpture has provided quality and responsive service to the City in its previous <br /> contracts for weed abatement. They have demonstrated good site supervision by <br /> routinely monitoring designated locations and has facilitated extra work in a timely <br /> manner with good communication. The management staff and field crews work <br /> harmoniously with City staff when issues arise. <br /> The project scope of this agreement consists of weed abatement landscape services at <br /> various roadside right-of-ways, City owned lots, open space locations, utilities locations <br /> and City parks. Weed abatement methods include herbicide application of both post and <br /> pre-emergent herbicides, line trimming, and mowing of native grasses in drainage <br /> swales within the City limits. Project administration is under the direction of the Parks <br /> Maintenance Division of the Operations Services Department. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> \ \\ lti <br /> Kathleen Yurchak Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Operations and Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Water Utilities <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
