Agreement Amendment with West Coast Arborists, Inc. <br />February 19, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />contingency of the original agreement amount, for the second, two-year renewal option period of <br />July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, for a total annual cost of $1,190,767.60. <br />The amendment enabled PRCSA to remove dead trees and stumps at Centennial, Bomo Koral, <br />Santa Anita, Adams, Portola, and Riverview Parks, Santa Ana Zoo, and the Civic Center. <br />In November 2018, an assessment of trees at Birch, Centennial, Fisher, Sandpointe, Santiago, <br />Windsor and Memorial parks and the Santa Ana Zoo was completed. The result of this assessment <br />identified removal of 319 dead and/or diseased trees and stumps at a cost of $203,013. <br />Additionally, the City of Santa Ana recently settled a lawsuit regarding mature trees whose roots <br />purportedly damaged adjacent homes along the North Paseo in the Sandpointe Neighborhood <br />(near MacArthur Blvd. and Birch Street). As part of the lawsuit, the City agreed to remove the 82 <br />trees at a cost of $45,522. An increase of $248,535 is required to address these matters. <br />Lastly, the PWA is requesting an increase of $100,000 to allow adequate funding for unforeseen <br />circumstances such as emergency removals, wind and rainstorm service efforts, and to address <br />plant health care management for insect infestations and mature tree survival. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & Infrastructure, <br />Objective #1 (Establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy B <br />(Equitably maintain existing streets and associated assets in a state of good repair so they are <br />clean, safe and aesthetically pleasing for all users). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are budgeted and available for expenditure in FY 2018-19 in the accounts listed below. <br />Funds will be budgeted in successive years, as depicted, if optional extension is exercised. <br />Account <br />FY 2018-19 <br />FY 2019-20 FY 2020-21 <br />PRCSA-Park Maintenance (no. 01113250-62320) <br />$248,535 <br />PWA -Special Gas Tax Fund (no. 02917635-62320) <br />$100,000 <br />$100,000 $100,000 <br />TOTALS <br />$348,535 <br />$100,000 $100,000 <br />25A-2 <br />
