The maintenance includes: mowing and edging of turf, <br />pruning and trimming of trees and shrubs, removal and control of weeds and <br />of plant diseases and pests, plant irrigation, and the maintenance and <br />repair of irrigation systems. Additionally, the agency is responsible for <br />the general maintenance and upkeep of the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park as <br />a safe and attractive feature of the City. <br /> <br />On September 2, 2003, the City Council awarded a contract to ValleyCrest <br />Landscape Maintenance, Inc., for a two-year period, with provision for <br />three, one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during <br />the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an <br />increase in pricing. Staff conducted a cost benefit analysis of utilizing <br />City staff to provide landscape maintenance services. ValleyCrest's <br />proposal continues to be more cost effective than providing the same <br />services in house. As a result, staff recommends the second renewal of <br />the contract. <br /> <br />22G-1 <br /> <br />
