PWA’s Parks, <br />Fleet, and Facilities Division provides landscape maintenance services at city parks and <br />facilities. Moreover, with the adoption of the City’s FY 2022-23 budget, the City Council <br />approved an additional $2.5 Million for park maintenance. <br />Over the years, there has been a need for an increased level of maintenance services <br />due to deferred maintenance and aging infrastructure in an effort to upkeep our park <br />irrigation systems and landscaping of green spaces throughout the city. The Public <br />Works Agency identified a need for a vendor to assist in comprehensively providing <br />irrigation parts, accessories, and equipment as well as garden supplies to provide <br />optimal, healthy, and attractive parks and green spaces. <br />The Invitation for Bids No. 23-018 was advertised on March 23, 2023, on the City’s <br />online bid and management publication system.
